Yep. Still staying away from the choco chip cookie video. There's only so much I can stand, and baking cookies for my son is going to take it all, I think. I go pick him up from camping tomorrow afternoon, so today is a Baking Day! Also housecleaning and then food planning for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I am super excited about all that.
Huge HURRAY to your win at Panera! All that planning really paid off for you!
And hey, since planning worked so well -- are any parts of Christmas-through-New Year's things you can plan for?
By the way, you have me trying IF a bit. I have taken to extending my no-foods window by starting the day with coffee instead of a smoothie, and pushing food consumption out to lunchtime.
@raleighgirl09
I kinda love that you tossed the bigger pants. It's such a huge step to do that. And for what it's worth, I am convinced that this is what successful maintenance looks like. The pants occasionally get tight, and you notice and nudge things the other direction. My pants were tight in October and are not tight now.
@trooworld
I have jumped around a bit, library-wise. I worked in a public library, a university library and have run a corporate library. One of my best jobs ever was as an information specialist, hunting down info worldwide. If there were a card, I'd need to carry it.
Your "incident with tortilla chips" made me laugh. And it made me think of my favorite toy store, which has a "days since the last velociraptor incident" sign in their window which makes me giggle every time. Sharing link to something similar in case a giggle is helpful.
Crafting sounds like a brilliant way to stay out of food trouble!

I think this is going to be 10 days of falling off the wagon and getting back on as quickly as I can. Some sweet treats have been made here. And yesterday I "had an incident" with them (lol @trooworld ) Today, I've added a few control measures- and it's working! I added extra exercise this week. Usually I would be "too busy" to exercise at all this week. And I've scheduled some of my best healthy dinners for right after Christmas. I'm just doing the best I can, and it's OK.
Happy Holidays to all!3 -

My last 3 weeks I went up and down the same 2 lb, so after Christmas I can only guess which one will show on the scale 😁
I had some average days lately with short but really wild mood swings in between, just to spice things up, I assume. Yay, middle age!
I’ll login later with my updates for the countdown to New Year.1 -
@TeresaW1020 Thank you! As I said, each cover is different, the butterfly notebook is for someone that 1) likes butterflies 2) has gone through a divorce and a total transformation. Yes, determination is the right word. So far, I'm hanging on but my weight is up. That's great you were able to stick with your plan at Panera! Well done!
@AustinRuadhain Your best job ever sounds really interesting! One of the things I do for my job is I work on a team that fact-checks every social media post that comes from our marketing department. It is a lot of hunting down information and facts and making sure they didn't twist the words out of context. It's interesting but can be maddening looking to find the source of their information (99.9% of the time, the posts just come to us with no sources). LOL! I love the sign! I need one of those, I need to blame my bad eating incidents on a velociraptor.
@Cornanda You sound like you had a hiccup but are fighting for control and winning the battle! Well done! Happy Holidays to you as well.1 -
@AustinRuadhain How did the baking go? Were you able to resist? I sure know I wouldn’t be able to.
My main plan for the holidays is to do the best I can. I’m sticking to clean fasting for at least 19 hours a day (except for Christmas morning), doing my workouts, and trying to watch the carbs where I can so I can splurge a little on the goodies. Good for you for doing some IF!! Now, let me ask you is that coffee black, or is there sweetener and cream in it?
@Cornanda It doesn’t have to be a complete fall, does it? Maybe you can just dangle off the wagon but still keep a hand on it so you can jump back in with more ease than if you fall off completely. That is what I’m planning to do! Extra exercise and making some healthy meal plans are great steps to take. You got this!!
@GabiV125 Great weigh-in!! This is a hard time of year so just keeping doing your best and looking forward to the New Year!
@trooworld with Christmas on and your weigh-in day on Saturday, you are going to have to give yourself some grace with the scale if it’s a number you don’t like. Whatever happens, Christmas will end and we will all begin again. I should make that into a bumper sticker!
Hello! Not much going on here today, which I’m thankful for. I did a workout, but my body is tired after doing 7 days straight. I plan to push through and do another one tomorrow and then take Christmas off. I’m getting excited for Christmas! Presents are super fun rather I’m the receiver or the giver. I’m really happy that we splurged this year and got my mom lots of things. She has done without for so much of her life that this will be a real treat for her and for us. I’ve been working on my goals for 2021. There might be a topic question posted after Christmas for the group to share their New Year reflections and aspirations.

Hey gang! A little behind, just wanted to check in and wish you all Happy Holidays! Did my arm cardio and stretching. I'm having trouble sleeping and just started steroids again plus have some other medication changes from going to the hospital and talking to my doctor the other day.3

@TeresaW1020 I think you are right. My weight has been up all week. I don't think it's magically going to go down after I eat homemade lasagna and garlic bread. You should make that a bumper sticker! LOL I'm excited for Christmas, too! I love this time of year. I gave my husband one of his gifts last night (a beer glass that I customized and put a gift card to a bottle shop in it). That's nice you spoiled your mom.
Hi everyone! Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas to those that celebrate. I'm off work and thankful for that. Have a great day!2 -
Sure is quiet around here! I hope you are all enjoying the holiday. Today it's cold and raining but there is a slight chance for snow so fingers are crossed!! Hubby, mom, and I are going to church for our candlelight service and afterward, we are going to Chic-Fil-A for milkshakes to bring home and have with fruitcake. Our Chic-Fil-A started doing lights 5 years ago and they just keep adding more every year. Usually, we go inside and eat because it's so awesome to be surrounded by the lights but the inside isn't open at this time, so the drive-thru will have to do.

Hope everyone has a great holiday!!!4 -

Merry Christmas everyone! I did my usual workout this morning then made my boyfriend and I breakfast. We went to my parent's last night for dinner and just hung out at home, watched a movie, and ate today.3
