Zeffryn - I am interested to see how quickly you lose the holiday weight gain, since you are very active. I put on about 10 lbs (though mine wasn't just over the holidays, that time period was the icing on the cake - so to speak!) It takes me months & months & months in general to lose even a few pounds and the only way I got down to where I was last year was through a LOT of walking and frequent yoga. My weight gain coincided with becoming less athletic due to an injury (can't carry my work bag that I used to so I can't walk to work any more PLUS yoga is much harder now) I am now trying to figure out how to incorporate more movement in my life. I must make more time for dedicated exercise, such as gym classes and running. Or get my bike out more. Good luck to you on speedy riddance of the holiday additions!

ANYway - back to solid P1 after a weekend of P1.5/2:
B - coffee with us almond milk x 2
nothing till lunchtime since I was in transit
L - lentil soup, side caesar salad, minus the croutons. us brewed tea.
Ss - plain greek yogurt, almonds, dried green beans
D - spaghetti squash with homemade tomato sauce, chopped spinach and veggie meatballs. Side of steamed broccoli & cauliflower.
dessert - nsa hot chocolate w/ some protein powder (trying something new - was low in protein for the day)

the stats: 1428 calories, 38 g fiber, 33% carbs, 39% fat (mostly from the almonds) 28% protein...

crazy high sodium! (3900 mg really?). Some of it is incorrect, as FitDay assumes my "spaghetti squash, cooked, fat not added" contains >300 mg sodium when it contains none added... but a lot of it is from my foods: veggie meatballs (880 mg), tomato sauce (529 mg - I made it and I have no idea how much salt I put, but prob. not much), lentil soup (624 mg), parmesan cheese (450 mg), Caesar dressing (185mg), dried green beans (160 mg), protein powder (145 mg, who knew???), etc. Guess I like salty things! Something else to think about...

UPDATE: changed my menu once I found out about all the salt. No dried green beans and baked salmon & veggies for dinner.

Emma, I suspect most of it is water weight, so it shouldn't take too long to lose.....if I can manage to stay on plan. Have you considered aqua aerobics? it's great for people with injuries because it is so low impact.
