    I knew I was going to have a gain on the scale. I played cards with a friend last night and she sent me home with a plate of cookies. Yup, you guessed it, I binged on cookies and bread. Good thing Christmas only comes once a year. 😂 Tonight we are having our Christmas Eve smorgasbord that my daughter puts off. I just picked up a tray of pastries from our local bakery for tonight. I am so thankful that I get to celebrate Christmas with my family this year. We had Covid last year and were quarantined.

    Happy Christmas Eve all!


    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Glad you are feeling a bit better. Hubby got his booster today so I hope he does feel ill for Christmas Day. He didn’t get sick for the first two or when we had Covid last year. Sorry your friends can’t come.

    @peng123
    I need you to send me some of that willpower. It takes great determination to stick to plan during the holiday season.

    @rwood566
    Fantastic loss! It does get quite in here in December. Nice steps for a rest day.

    @jayenguk
    Awesome loss! I have considered resetting my streak. I might January 1st and make it a fresh start.

    @Pippin20206
    I am glad your test was negative and you are not quarantined for Christmas. I am also not logging the today, Saturday and Sunday. I do my best the rest of the year.

    @MeowScout
    I am proud of you too! It is tough not to fall off the wagon this time of year.

    Well I have restarted resistance training and daily walking along with eating within calorie budget since Tuesday. Today I weighed 139.4 lbs, almost 6 lbs lighter than Weigh In Tuesday! However it was all so I could enjoy the holiday treats tonight and lunch tomorrow. Weight will probably pop up Sunday but at least I am picking and choosing what and how much to indulge this holiday. That is an improvement from previous years.

    Wishing everyone a joyous holiday season!

    Merry Christmas! I ate a little to much and drank a few festive specials. More of the same today. Pool is closed otherwise I would go for a Christmas morning swim. We are off to our daughters soon and then we are all heading to a friends for brunch. Then back to my daughters to wrap gifts. We are having Christmas dinner on Boxing Day. Have a great day everyone.

    Happy Boxing Day! Anyone going to hit the sales today? I am trying to get some energy to go to the pool. I am trying to decide whether to grocery shop today or tomorrow. Later we are going to our daughters to, yes you guessed it, eat some more. We are actually having our Christmas Dinner today. I am actually shocked that my weight is down from Friday. I will probably see a delayed gain in the next few days.

    Friday and Saturday, I did my Walk video, in the living room, but not alone! My 13 yo son and our adorable 79 yo Godmother joined in! Staying within range of my health goals feels great. Blessing be upon all of you!

    Have to change my calories for yesterday. Trying to stay up to watch cartoons led to a snack binge. Ate at least another 200 calories. Dang. At least the scale said I only gained 1 lb yesterday. Time to forgive myself.

    This week is Fat2Fit recruiting week! If you have any friends who might be interested in joining our team(s), now's the time. We can always use a few more to fight those statistics with us - keep going past the new year resolutions, keep losing weight, stop gaining it back afterwards.

    Here is the link - share away! And if you are already a member, you do NOT need to sign up again.
