    Morning,

    I got back on track yesterday until after dinner when my husband wanted a treat. I should have said no but joined him. I did do well all day but caved. I was saving those treats to take to the boat show in January for our cocktail hour to share with our friends.

    I have to be strong tonight and continue on. The weigh in is Friday people and I know we are still in holiday a mood but we have to stay together and help each other.

    Happy Monday, everyone! I love all the posts from our thread group and find them all very inspiring and see that we are all in this together. That's huge when you're doing something that takes time and patience. :-)

    Marie, I may have to look at the 1:1:1 on the internet, as it sounds like it makes so much sense.

    Well, the weather got better yesterday, so we walked for 7.68 miles! That was 900 calories burned. Hoping for a good result on Friday. We also ate well with venison fajitas, and a homemade ham and bean soup.

    We'll try the yoga videos tonight.

    Hi everyone hope your all having a good day, great to see so many new posters.
    I didn't start my day quiet so early today as I wasn't working so didn't need to get up. Had a lovely 4 mile run the weather was very cold but sunny, have eaten good healthy food today but now I'm sitting down in front of the TV for the evening so this is the danger time for me, must be strong and not give in to the chocolates that where given me for Christmas.
    Sounds like you have the same problem as me Shirley in that after dinner is the time we give in to our cravings .
    OMG my husband has just walked in the room with the chocolates, I know I should throw them away but how can I throw away something that someone has spent their hard earned money on and given me as a present. I think we'll just have to get them eaten before new year and start afresh then.
    Good luck all, hope you have more will power than me.
    Linda.

    Thank's Marie. I can and will do this. I lost 50lb by Christmas of 2012 and then maintained for a whole year but have slipped a little in 2014 and put 8lb back on but that's as far as I'm prepared to let it go up, I want to get down to 140lb to improve my running which I love doing.
    I hope your fitbit arrives soon they are great for helping to motivate us all to move more, I was sad when I lost mine.
