Hi Kimberly. I had a few days of overindulgence and too much sodium. I felt really crappy when I weighed myself yesterday morning. I got back on my routine yesterday and I am pushing for a positive weigh in on Friday. You are definitely not the only one who struggled this past weekend. The key is getting back on track and it looks like you are doing that. Let's have a strong December.

Maintaining control when you're surrounded by mountains of delicious food (and relatives who look at you weird if you skip a single serving) is really hard. So you made some mistakes but now you know what you're up against at Christmas and you can prepare. Silver lining! Wooo!

I hear you honey. I gained 2 pounds and I have to weighin tomorrow!!!! Went to the gym ( that's right, the gym) this morning but I don't think that will help signifacantly. Oh well. We pick ourselves up, slap some sense into ourselves, and start all over again. That should be a song.lol

You're right, old habits die hard, but they're no longer your way of life and that's the take-away. If what you need to stay on track for 350 days a year are a few days of shitty eating and a lot of 'why the hell did I just do that!?' then so be it. Sounds like a pretty great trade-off to me. Work toward using up all that yummy excess energy this week and keep that head up!

Kimberly, I think you have just realized the same thing I have realized. There are some things I just cannot do. I cannot eat some of those foods because the chain reaction that starts is something out of my control. Once I begin, I cannot stop, and getting back on the wagon after a fall like that is hard. Thankfully our motivation is also high, which counters that some. The good news is the weight will likely come back off quickly. Just don't delay, get right back on track today.

I weigh-in on Fridays. I snuck an unofficial peek at the scale this morning to assess the damage, and was mortified at what I found. The plan is definitely to kick it into high gear over the next few days to try to reduce some of that mortification.

I like the way you think, Craig. Unfortunately, much of what I ate didn't really enhance my enjoyment of the holiday. It was just stupid. Ah well, live and learn!

I feel you…I just wrote this same post on my blog!! I had a rough weekend as well, but it was a lot of fun. I'm trying to think this way: it was fun while it lasted and now it's back to business! That's why it's a “holiday” right? Sadly I stretched mine out over 3 days of bad eating (pssst…and drinking!)
What day do you “weigh in?” I have until Thursday to try and undo some damage! ;) GOOD LUCK!
