    Stuck to water last night...I really should buckle down for the next 3 days before we take a mini vacation with friends from Dec 31-Jan 3, but I don't wanna!!!! :s

    We will see how I do these next 3 days. It's definitely hard to go back to not drinking once you've been enjoying libations for the past 5 days in a row.

    U can do it!! Save up for vaca! I'm barely counting right now as I'm sort of on vaca. I'm a sahm and my bf and child r off tho one is at her daddy's right now so that makes not drinking even harder cuz I don't have to get up in the am!! Well be back on the wagon by Jan 4. U can't be all good all of the time!

    Hi! I had a glass of wine last night. Today starts South Beach Diet phase 1 - only for 12 days, in our run up to Las Vegas. We leave next Saturday. And then I'll be back to watching portions like usual. The low carb thing is the quickest way for me to slim down in a hurry. I need a jump start after all the fun I had this long New Year's weekend.

    Will have one "cheat" meal on Friday night with alcohol (work holiday party) but before and after that we are brig super careful with food and alcohol. Wish me luck...

    @elizabethymartin HAH! No way. Vegas is like 50 degrees and I don't wear skimpy outfits anyway o:) but we are seeing friends we haven't seen in 2 years and the wife is looking super slim and toned. Just don't want to look like a huge cow next to her. Maybe just a baby cow.

    I am so not drinking!!! The holidays was a bust. No logging all eating and A LOT of drinking! Got on the scale yesterday up 5 lbs! My clothes are tight. Wearing stretch pants all day! Back in the gym yesterday and I am ready to rock it out!!! LOL! I am not depressed this was my own doing. Too much alcohol destroyed my digestive system so I am glad I am back to my routine! I hope everyone did a lot better than me!

    @dbanks80 I salute you for getting on the scale. I handled the holidays the same way. Got my *kitten* in gear this past Monday but in terrified to go anywhere near that thing!! You'll drop it quick. It's half water retention from salt and booze I'm sure. Mmm....salt and booze.... Lol

    LOL my sister said the same thing! She refuses to even look at the scale. You got this though!

    OMG @dbanks80 tell me all about it! I haven't been to Vegas as an adult and besides one brunch and a Cirque show we don't have any plans yet. We are staying at the Aria. What did you love and what was worth skipping? All tips welcome!
