Hey, there is nothing wrong with that. Pizza is good. It's just hard finding a place that's open on the holiday's.

Dang I never thought of that - the mall is usually open until 5 on Christmas Eve - may just have to run over and pick something up (there is a CPK there - that counts as a pizza). But yeah, the little local places that deliver will probably be closed.

And I agree pizza is ok - I actually have it fairly often - I just usually try to keep it within my calorie goal. For a holiday I wouldn't worry about it and have the whole thing.

I just take super small portions of anything I want to eat. And stay away from cookies/chocolates, etc (I don't have much of a sweet tooth anyway). The alcohol is what gets me!

Haha that video made me laugh. But, really I do like it. I will have brown rice and kale with some black beans and Thai style tofu, or make kale chips, or add a handful in my morning smoothie occasionally. But, I also like spinach, lettuce, and other things like alfalfa, barley. I like trying a strand of veggies or fruits thats from different countries. I love going to the farmer's market and the flea market. There's just so many flavors.

And, we don't have a mall mall here. We have an outlet mall. And, there isn't any restaurants in the outlet aside from an over priced ice cream shop.

Personally, I celebrate things by going for a long bicycle ride ... and then I eat whatever I want.

I eat all the foods for a few days. Then I go back to normal and within a week am back at my normal weight range. The spike in weight up that occurs after day 4 or 5 of eating all the foods is largely due to bloating and sodium (because I eat ALL the cheeses that I am intollerant to and ALL the EVERYTHING)

Generally speaking I haven't been able to gym over the xmas week because I go to my parent's place in the country where there is no gym, but I walk a LOT and try to do stuff to help them out - manual labour of some sort.

Then when I get back home - back to eating "well" and exercising "well".

It only goes pear shaped if, as mentioned above, you eat like a maniac for a whole month. Then you WILL undo good work. Not worth it. But one or two eating all the foods days... not a problem.

LOL @ the kale. I moved into a new house this summer and got my garden going way too late. The only thing doing well is six kale plants. I'm going to be the lady sneaking kale everywhere it does not belong.
