I have decided to drink lots of water during the day, eat a good breakfast and lunch, go for a brisk walk every day or do yoga. I will stop frying food and only boil or roast lean protein.
At nights I will slowly lower the calorie intake and have a pre-breakfast with very low calorie food.
Hey I see a few people are in and out today. DH is playing his new game I got him for the holiday.
Rosamaria Nice to see you on this thread. Welcome.
Missy Happy holidays to you too. What are your plans today?
I just put my turkey breast in the oven. I am having one rum and diet coke to toast the holiday with DH. We are having butternut squash, brussel sprouts and the turkey. DH is having stuffing too. I also made cranberry sauce, very low sugar as I like it tart and will make mushroom with sherry gravy.
I passed up the chocolate cupcakes and shortbread cookies. Just do not need them today.
My DH is so thoughtful. We had a lovely morning. Had a nice walk in the chilly air.
So far so good... Been slightly off plan since Saturday evening... and the scale is really showing it, which I expected, but still... even if it is just water weight, it never ceases to amaze me how much the scale can go up overnight... And I know that it will come right back off once everything starts to get back to normal over the next couple of days... I mean a know for a fact I didn't eat an extra 10,000 calories the last 3 days
And I've already eaten 1500 calories already... and we haven't had dinner yet... But I think I can keep the rest of day to 500 and even get away with including a fork full or two of dessert
Hopefully getting back on track won't be too painful tomorrow...
Hope everyone is having a great day!

There was a big feast yesterday evening with traditional Christmas food and beverage.
When I came home I stuck with the night eating plan - I´m thinking about it as a pre-breakfast and had a bowl of Rice Krispies, a few grapes and a small amount of yogurt.
I slipped and had six pieces of Belgium Chocolate I got as a gift. That was just before falling asleep.
I counted the calories I´ve been having at night and it´s on average 3000 calories, so I´m reducing them drastically.
Rosamaria, congratulations on reducing your night calories. Great work!
TripSwitch, Plucky Pear & Misti, hello!
And happy day AFTER the holiday to all. I love the day after holidays as I like ordinary life better than special days.
Or rather, I make my own special days.
I DID eat extra calories for the past few days, thought I was on a good roll yesterday but ended up adding a nice but EXTRA Christmas night meal as my mood had been kind of going down all day.
Still hoping for a loss this week but looking forward now to my newest GOAL DAY OF GETTING INTO THE 120s, which is January 13! Woot! I will do 'er.
Morning all! Well, I stopped counting calories yesterday before dinner, but I know I way over did it on salty pita chips and cookies before dinner. I made dinner here (which is great because I could control what I put into it) but it wasn't ready on time so I ended up snacking then finally eating dinner it at 8. I'm estimating that I went over about by 600-800. Morning WI = 151.4, so that's basically maintaining, which is a victory in itself. I'm thinking that I can still have a good weekly WI this Friday so long as I stay OP for the rest of the week.
First time cutting on my PC in a week or so Had a rough eating day yesterday.When will i ever learn that i can't eat just one bad carb and think that that's all I'll want.Did exercise yesterday and this morning too.plan on going to spin class tonight Working on spending some quality quite time to get my thoughts together to reel these craving back under control.
*sigh* I just realized Friday will be yet another "bring a dish" to work for a birthday. As always I'm sure there will be tons of crap. I have to avoid.
That was just before falling asleep.
