Pass Day 11 (I may have miscounted)
I planned the day with some exercise calories. But then my 5 year old woke up early (which he has been doing all week) and so I didn't get to do my morning 15 minute video. And then I had field work for work, but it was just standing around in the extreme cold, no moving at all. And I've discussed how that triggers me to overeat. So I ate all the exercise calories I had planned on and then a little more too.
I didn't really go "hog wild" though. And I even stopped at a cute little grocery store/cafe and bought things but didn't buy anything I shouldn't have - some prepared food which will fit in the calorie budget well, some stocking stuffers for the kids, and a treat for my usual bedtime treat time - which I split in 2 pieces and had 1last night.
@snowshoe072 I hope that covid passes through your household without too much trouble.
@ideas2 I was torn about what reaction to pick. I was very inspired by your restaurant meal figuring - I have so much difficulty with restaurant meals. But so much sympathy for your covid/holiday drama. Back in the before covid times, we had 3 very difficult Christmases that were "Grandma's last Christmas" and then 1 that was "Grandpa's first Christmas without Grandma" before finally being able to stop going there last year because of covid (there were a lot of reasons that it was a tough place to have Christmas and nobody really wanted to go there but all felt obligated - including I think the grandparents who really didn't want to host!)
@WhatMeRunning thanks for the inspiration.

Pass Days Used: 4/3
I did start out the day tracking... but it fell apart in the afternoon. I'm off work from my bank job until Jan 3, and worked 1/2 day in the chiro office. In the afternoon I drove to Cinci to pick up my sister as she's spending Christmas with us as we travel to PA (Friday) to visit my hubby's family. This is her first Christmas without her hubby as he passed back in June and she just didnt want to be alone for Christmas. I'm still hovering right around the 3lbs (gained) mark, so at least it's not totally off the rails!!

@Mrs_Hoffer I do hope you have a good holiday especially your sister, travel safe. Take time to enjoy family and friends with some structure those 3 pounds will fall away I have faith in you it will work out! Just remember ask yourself if you really need the food item? Sometimes it’s just a yes🎄4

@snowshoe072 - sorry to hear Covid has shown up at home. Hopefully your hubby will have a mild case and neither you nor your son will get it. My husband and I have been talking how careless we’ve become. We are both fully vaccinated, but never wear a mask and aren’t as careful about washing our hands or using hand sanitizer when we’re out in public. I do feel really good trusting that at least if we catch it, we’ll have a mild case.
@mshawski - I will be wearing that ring tomorrow for sure! My Christmas goal was to have an average weight of 195, I hit that on December 13 (I think) and this morning my avg weight was 192.8. This is probably the first time in my life I’ve lost weight in December. Unbelievable.

Love your description about the attack of the delicious pizza @Mama530 congrats on logging it all to account for it and to most importantly just move on!
@BMcC9 some things just can't be measured, thus why we self report a yes/no, excellent reporting as always!
Great day on the UAC front @ideas2 hope the family drama resolves soon.
@Caroline_slowandsteady sounds like a good day despite being a pass day!
I hope you and your sister have some cheer amidst the difficult time she is going through, she's lucky to have someone like you on her side through this. I'm sure you can tackle those 3 pounds.
Awesome day @bradkcrew @slimtastesbetter @Arc2Arc (honorary due to DL) @ashleycarole86 @jamcnewman @Geneveremfp @LazyBlondeChef @calvin20874 @lesdarts180 @donna25trinity @biketheworld @dsgoingtodoit @enlightenme3
