    After a weekend of eating way too many leftovers, including pie, brownies, etc., time to get back on track. I should have just thrown away all the dressing, sweets, etc left over from thanksgiving, but I hate to throw away food.
    So back at it, time to get back to healthy eating.
    so JFT
    1. dentist appt today, so my mouth is still numb! So drink lots of water!
    2. log all food. I have not been doing this -- this is an important step in the right direction
    3. get out and walk today. I pulled my back when the grandsons were here, so I have been taking it slow. At least walking is something I can do until it is better to get to the gym.
    4. get back on here tomorrow. Be accountable!

    We could be twins! I ate too many leftovers that I had planned on throwing away too! Then, I hurt my back so was on the couch with a heating pad after cleaning up toys in the basement the grandkids left out. And FINALLY, I have not been journaling since the day before Thanksgiving. I have been a sassy, sassy girl and I paid for it at my weigh-in today!

    Good luck! We can do this! B)

    1. Pack my breakfast and lunch for work and stick to what I packed :)
    2. JOURNAL EVERY BITE :D
    3. Hydrate. This does not mean coffee...this means WATER. :)
    4. Get out and take a walk today at lunch time. Get out of the basement I work in and see the sun. Get away from colleagues and just rejuvenate. :)
    5. I will not listen or partake in office gossip today. I will walk away. Everyone has their own story and I really don't like listening to people judge others. Not my circus, not my monkeys. :D
    6. Earbuds in to tune out negativity in office if it starts again today. Kills my joy. :)
    7. Weigh in and take the advice without feeling defensive. I blew it. That's it. :)

    Yesterday wasn't great, was feeling really blue after work so ended up drinking a ton of mulled wine and port with boyfriend in the evening. I think we'd been deprived of Christmassy drinks because I've been avoiding alcohol lately.... This was a bit of an emotional binge to make up for it!

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat :)
    - ABSOLUTELY NO unhealthy snacks :/ Two small sweets...
    - Lunch under 400 cals :/ 450, but not too bad
    - No alcohol :'(:'( Rather a lot....
    - Stay within calories with mini deficit :'(:'( Went over by a VERY large margin due to the quantity of (sweet Christmassy) alcohol consumed

    - Meditate :/ Didn't find the time or will to do it because of self pity
    - 30+ minute lunch break :)
    - Put yesterday's event out of mind in order to focus :/ Didn't really manage that well
    - Except for lunch where take the time to consider how to deal with it :) I did do this at least. Have the beginnings of a plan
    - Focus on report and get it done - no faffing or perfectionism! :| Ish... I did get it done but was a bit perfectionist about it.

    Today: no booze. Start to get over things. No self-pity!

    Commitments:

    Today's commitments -
    - Log everything I eat
    - ABSOLUTELY NO unhealthy snacks
    - No alcohol
    - Stay within calories
    - Exercise class after work

    - Meditate
    - 30+ minute lunch break
    - Don't get lost in unhelpful self-pity or daydreaming about what might have been
    - Focus on one thing at a time and be efficient
    - Make time to write up personal objectives. Turn off email and go out if necessary

    For many of us, including myself, the holiday season is hard. Not only because of the hecticness of the season, but because, at least for me, it reminds me of all the loved ones that I have lost way too early. My dad passed away on xmas eve, my brother, who was just 53, passed away January 3rd, another brother, who was just 63, passed away on thanksgiving day, and another brother, who was only 51, passed away early Feb. So during the holidays, when families are suppose to get together, I feel the loss even more. And I watch my daughter, with severe mental illness, seeing no joy in life, and a struggle everyday getting through each day. So I try to cheer her up, without bringing myself down.
    So for me, to get on here everyday, know that even though all the losses, I still have so very much to be thankful for. And putting one foot in front of the other, no self pity, and taking good care of myself.

    So I hope you guys will all join me - in helping each of us get through this season, without gaining a lot of weight, and even better yet, maybe losing. Or if nothing else, eating as healthy as we can, and being thankful for each day. As as a support system for each other.
