Hi everyone! Sorry I have been MIA n here for awhile. So I weighed this morning. First day back to normalcy since the holiday. I saw 180.4 and that's actually .4 less that I was on wednesday! I mean seriously no change in a week should be a little dissapointing, but inspite of not liking being at a standstill, considering the holiday that just passed I feel that maintenence was a victory! We had tons of family stuff going on. My husbands brother and his kids were in town and we were at his parents house everyday. My step daughter was in the local holiday parade with her dance group. I worked every night but thanksgiving, and my family got together to eat twice in this weekend also. Thanksgiving and then for my brothers birthday. Anways I didn't track my calories thursday thru saturday. I should have. And I know I could have if I would have applied myself. It's really hard when eating other peoples home cooked food. Easy when I am cooking, but so difficult when others are. I know I could have at leats used the bank of things in MFP and could have gotten a good guess, but I let the weekend be a break from any tracking. What I did do was watch my portion sizes. And I did that better than I have ever done over holidays before. My worst was two slices of pizza from some I found in the fridge on saturday night (my husband ordered pizza for himself and my step daughter). I REALLY shouldn't have eaten that. Also I had way too many of the chocolate covered pomegranite candies I'd purchased for the holidays. That was my only sugar mishap though. I only ate 1/2 a piece of pie on thanksgiving. And it was my sisters homemade and she kept asking me if I'd tried it. So when my adult niece was saying that she had been served too large a piece I told her I'd take 1/2 of hers and helped us both out.
Anyways yesterday I was back to counting and today I'm back to checking on 3fc.
I cant believe the month is almost over. I really feel I want to have a hard push these last few days and see how close I can get to my goal of getting down to 175.4 by the months end (I don't see how I could possibly reach it with only days left, but maybe I can see 1 or 2 more pounds peel off).
4star- Good job working to get back into it! Last year this same time was where I gained 15 lbs that I have finally managed to take off 5 of this month. I was maintaining a 16 lbv weightloss for about a year when between october and december I went so crazy. I think most was sugar involved (not usually food I have a hard time with). Anways realising a while year has past since I let myself think "I'll get back to work after the holidays and lose this few lbs (little did I know how much I was gaining at the time) fast". Anyways good job getting on here and getting a handle on the holiday time now!
FYI, losing 100 lbs means your body no longer handles alcohol the same way. Oy
Good luck these few last days of the month everyone!
