I am thankful for this challenge because it gave me something to work toward before Thanksgiving. It was a small goal but I reached it
This morning after one day off plan the scale is up a pound.
Now I am right back on plan and I am giving myself three days of dieting to get back to where I was. It is a sobering thought to realize how much ground has to be made up after even a one-day break from my normal diet plan.
Still I am not complaining. I planned to allow myself this indulgence so now I will just plan to get back on track. I heard the author of "Eat This, Not That" say that the average weight gain during the holiday season is 6 pounds! I don't know if that is true or not. But now I am seriously considering my next goal. Will I just try to maintain the weight I was before I started, or will I try to actually lose weight over the holidays?
If the 6 pounds average gain is true, then it would be an accomplishment to just break even, wouldn't it?
I am hoping that everyone on the challenge will post to let us know how you did over Thanksgiving and what your plans are now.
