I only gained 2lbs, and I ate horrible horrible junk. So I thought I gained 10, but I'm very happy I only gained 2. I already burned that off plus 3 more. So I actually lost 5+lbs this holiday, but I'll join either way. I'll go for 5lbs, which will make me 170 by the end of January.
I don't usually stress myself out trying to stay at one certain number on the scale. I mean, you have to give yourself a range. If you push yourself trying to stay at a certain number, you'll lose your mind. But I'd rather be closer to 130 than 135. My original goal was stay within the 130-135 range. And over the holidays I creeped up to 137 and that's a little too close to 140 for me.
I got back to 135, but I'm still trying to get a little lower.
I have little dishes of snacks around my house too, one has truffles and rum balls, another has lindt white chocolate balls (those are not a problem), and I stuff have these oatmeal coconut cocoa drops.. not to mention homemade perogies! But I've been aiming for at LEAST 2 healthy meals a day, and yesterday I made 3!
I'm a daily weigher, and I'm curious to see if my efforts made any dent in my weight. I was going pee ALL day yesterday, so I wonder if I dropped some water weight.
I am thankful to say that the stuff isn't really haunting me. I get waves of it - like the box of the chocolate sitting on the counter... I am doing okay there...
but what I am really craving is some sushi or some thai or something... I am always craving that kind of stuff, pizza, pergoies - the sad thing is, chocolate is less calories because you can't eat a pizza sized chocolate! haha
courtnie - i feel you on those cravings. haven't really been craving chocolate or anything like that, but I could sure go for some thai food right now, even Japanese. yumm
aimee - yes good luck to us all....looks like it's gonna be tougher than I thought. btw, is The Hills starting soon up there?? Over here the new season starts on the 15th. I can't wait!!! ugh, i watch too much tv. oh yeah, what the heck are perogies???
so I had mexican for lunch. so now I have to have a really healthy, lite dinner to stay within my daily points range. I so don't want to use my flex points anymore as I need to save them for this weekend. Planning to get a strength session in today after work (weights, crunches, squats, leg lifts) and maybe head over to the gym for a cardio session. that's the plan anyway!

Courtnie--I've been able to donate blood and pass on the cookies and juice. They usually make you sit there a bit longer to make sure you're feeling okay before you leave.
You know, I couldn't eat a pizza sized chocolate, but I could probably eat a pizza!
