I hope the party went well, shr1nk1ngme.

Yes, thank you, the party went well. I planned for an extra 200 calories but kept the carbs low. I brought my own special food so I ate on plan and stayed on plan. I did eat a TON of vegetables so I didn't weigh this morning because I knew it would be up 2 pounds just from all the fiber and I didn't want to discourage myself.
I'll weigh in tomorrow morning and since today is a down-day I expect to see some progress.
Now I only have to stay on plan for Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

Husband is also taking me tonight to buy a new (smaller) pair of jeans for Christmas since I don't have any pants left that fit. Extra incentive to stay on plan, woohoo!

Way to stay on plan! I find that is the secret to eating out: have a plan for what you are going to eat before you get there. It seems like you are ready for your events.

I wish wish wish I was shopping for smaller jeans. I have lost 14 pounds but at my weight that does not equal a smaller pant size, apparently, since I'm still in my 14's and I can't squeeze into my 12's yet.
Congrats! You deserve to reward yourself for your accomplishment!

Glad the party was a success and there were many vegetables involved! Sounds like you did good with your plan.

Here's to more successes as we ring in the new year.
