This holiday season, we can give ourselves the gift of being healthy, and reaching our weight loss goals, while still enjoying our holiday baking! We can have our Christmas cookies, AND look good for Santa ;) For the 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, I will make healthy cookies, during each of the 12 days of Christmas!
On the 10th day of Christmas cookies, your true love made for you, Chewy Coconut Macaroons.
(it said to do a teaspoon full, but I accidentally did a tablespoon full, so mine were jumbo size!)
I've always wanted to make macaroons, but I thought it was yet another one of those things that was out of my league. I'm laughing hysterically at myself now, because these are so
quick and easy to make!
And very Deliciously Healthy. Only 83 calories!

On the 10th day of Christmas cookies, your true love made for you, Chewy Coconut Macaroons, One Nutty Date, Double Peanut Butter Chocolate Chewies, Almond Cherry Bites, Pecan Pie Bars, Raspberry-Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies, Gingerbread Cookies, Cocoa-Nutmeg Cookies, Almond Meringue Kisses, and Swirled Mint Cookies.
Today I weighed 164, for a 2 pound loss this week! Yup, I lost 2 pounds, even while making 12 days of Christmas cookies. I've done it by sticking to my 1200 calories a day, only allowing myself 2 cookies a day, and making sure I don't eat past 7:30pm. We can still enjoy yummy holiday treats this season, by eating deliciously healthy, and practicing moderation.
Knowing that, is one of my most prized gifts this holiday season.

Great job on the 2 lbs. AND limiting yourself to 2 cookies a day! That takes dedication! :)
Congrats on your weight loss!
You're at 60% nuts now. Haha. I know, they're healthy. And if they won't kill you, apparently they're delicious.
GREAT JOB girl!! :)
