The holidays are over

Blythmag

Went off the rails last two days time to get back to work and back on it.

Are you glad too?

It's nice to get back to routine
For me having everyone back at work including myself means I can get back to morning workouts uninterrupted

Ps this is the first year I didn't gain any weight at all over Christmas (normally I gain 1 or 2lbs even with being at maintenance).

I was actually really happy with my New Years eating. It's the first time I ever planned holiday eating and stuck pretty close to what I planned (yay for pizza, chocolate bark and cheese balls! Lol). It was one of the biggest accomplishment feelings I've ever had to feel like it "worked."

I do better when I don't do the holidays at home because I only have to worry about 12/24, 12/25, 12/31 and 1/01. But this year I had family for 10 days with a lot of day trips and eating out, and no time to exercise. I only added 2 lbs to my happy weight, but as you said my routine has been thrown out the door and I am still trying to get my "mojo" back. The good thing is that because I had so much house-work to do and clean, I was relative active. Glad that it is over and I hope to get back to reality this coming week. Good luck to you!

I'm glad it's over!! Love the holidays but I'm a creature of habit. It's hard staying with my routine this time of year. Food was not too big of an issue, except yesterday (my birthday and New Years Eve, so there was no healthy options!!). I feel like garbage today and I'm looking forward to getting back at it. Funny, I was worried about a few bad days derailing my progress but it's actually confirmed that I love my new lifestyle! Hears to a great 2018 for everyone!

It's not what you do between Christmas and New Years that's important.

It's what you do between New Years and Christmas that matter.

I love holidays, all holidays, but I do kind of like being back in a "regular" routine. As far as eating, I really didn't go nuts in any sort of extended way this holiday season (Halloween through New Year's). I had I think three big "overeats" during that time. I had raised my daily calories a bit (long story) and just didn't feel the need to go crazy. I ate holiday stuff a lot within my calorie goals, though.

I'll find out in the morning what holidays have done to my weight although it shouldn't be too much as I walked much more than usual. Being right by the beach and a need to escape the other 15 family members I shared the holiday house with helped with that one. Can't wait to get back into a normal routine although weighing food for the first time in 10 days this afternoon felt strange.

Oh dear! I have gained 2kbs, so hard to get off, so easy to put in - AND it’s all that left over food, can’t afford to just throw it away, so land up eating it after Christmas until it’s all gone! I feel guilty throwing it away, does anyone else feel that way?

Can you freeze it? Give it away? Fit it into your calories?

Box it up and mail directly to me?

I did pretty well over the holidays, maintained and kept my workouts up. New Years Eve we had a wedding so it was a free for all and I leave in a week for a 7 day cruise. I figured I did well over the holidays, I'm going to enjoy the cruise and get back at it when I return. Luckily for me I enjoy working out too much that I still get it in on my vacations.

I love the holidays, but the fact that they are limited is why they are special. I'm ready to lose these lbs I gained and get back to normal for a while.

Yes!! I save a little of everything for the kids to pick at for a day or two. I pick at the healthier options during that time. If there is still food after that I give it to a neighbor or freeze if it's a good amount left. This year I made a serious effort to not end up with a weeks worth of leftovers. It was much easier than trying to part with the goodies after the fact!
