    I have different weekday/weekend calorie goals: 1,200/1,700, and I usually net below goal. I'll be treating Christmas and New Year's as weekend days - still logging but loosening up somewhat, and only on the actual holidays.

    I also have to closely track and limit sodium, as I'm being treated for hypertension. So, I will plan my sodium intake for the day around dinner as I do when I want fast food; that limit alone will force me to moderate my portions. And, since I'm the one making dinner (not gathering), I know exactly what's going into dinner and how much.

    Finally, I've been slowly ramping up my activity level and intend to continue over the holidays. My kid will be happy to help me with that :smiley:

    My plan is exercise more during these weeks and maybe eat a bit less unless I'm hungry and then for Christmas or New Year enjoy all the yummy food in moderation. I don't want to limit myself on those days. And a few weeks ago I had the idea of maybe it's cool to aim for 20kg weight loss in 2020 but I'm still 1,5KG away and I decided to just let the idea go.

    That’s a win of almost 41 pounds, though, so still an ah-mazing job there!

    Thank you! When I started in june I never thought I would make it this far so fast. I just stepped on the scale and although I was a bit stuck the last 2 weeks I suddenly lost 1kg. So 500 grams to go for 20 kg in 2020. Now I'm extra motivated :)

    one day, or even one week, will not make or break anything.

    its when that one day or week turns into 6 weeks, turns into 4 months, turns into a year where people have issues....

    enjoy. live. and when *whatever* is over, get back on track.
