tough to beat those, all classics. BTW who won the Gopher Hawkeye Football game this year ;-))))))))

Oooo. I LOVE Christmas music. I'd have to say my top 3 are

1. The Merry Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire)
2. Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas
3. O Holy Night

Bahaha not us Thanks for rubbing it in!

Ok- QOTD: What is your plan of attack for Christmas and staying on track? Are you going to indulge? Be good? Exercise it off? Call it Christmas because it happens once a year? Leave it to 1 day or make it last 4? Interested to see responses!!

QOTD: I'm going to do my best to keep with the program until Christmas day at least. Sunday will be tough because logging my grandmother's food is near impossible. If she sees me hovering around the kitchen with a notebook, she'll probably slap me upside the head. I usually chalk one day up to life and go over my cal count anyway, so Sunday will be that day. My biggest problem is going to be staying out of the liquor store.....I'm off work until Monday and I really feel like destroying a couple of twelve packs and a 1/5 of Crown

I have no self control. Hence why I'm overweight. My goal is to try to do the best I can all day and only splurge on that particular meal. I'm going to try to fill up on veggies before I go and hopefully I can focus more on the people and conversations rather than the food! It will be a difficult task so I hope i can do it!

QOTD: I have been blessed with self control, for this I am grateful. I can eat one of something and be fine. The thing I have NOT been blessed with is...how do I explain it...GAH! I love my routine. I love exercising! I know I was venting about it earlier! I've gotten so addicted to it! So even though my self control may be fine with eating one of something, its still one of something that is not normally in my diet AND I'm not working out as much as usual. But I'm enjoying myself...this is all new to me! )

Merry Christmas Eve Pals!! )

I am a binge eater which I truely found out at Thanksgiving. As I usually do not keep huge portions of food in my house I didn't notice that I really have no switch that says stop eating when there are snacks out all day long for me to eat. I am going to a friends for christmas and we are going to their friends house for dinner so I hope that they are not keeping snacks at their place. It is only one day so I won't gain the weight like I did over Thanksgiving, I just need to stay away from the chocolate.

Well, my response might be a little different than others because I am sick.
--->I was PLANNING on not worrying on Christmas or the 26th because those are the biggest family celebrate-ALL-day-long days. I was going to have a little bit of everything, drink lots of water & then get back on track counting calories after that. However, I have a kidney infection & kidney stones with pretty much no appetite, so now I'm just excited to see family & i'm not worried about food at all & I'll begin exercising again when I feel well enough to MERRY CHRISTMAS RANDOM PEOPLE!!!

My plan is to treat the 25th just like any other day of the year, should help me stay on track.

I'm going to eat and enjoy. The key is to NOT over eat. Only once slice of apple pie with a scoop of ice cream. Christmas only comes once a year and I intend to spend it the right way and not think so much about my diet.

mandijo

Good plans everyone! We've had our Christmas with my little family, but tonight tomorrow morning and tomorrow evening are "big" parties for us, so my plan is to TRY focus on the people and not on the food. I've got a bit of the "I'll start Monday" thoughts going in my head. I WISH THOSE WOULD GO AWAY! I'm so sick of that excuse!

I randomly ate too much junk yesterday. I did swim for an hour to offest it though

mandijo

I hope everyone had happy holidays and a Merry Christmas! Time to get back on track. QOTD: What are your health and fitness goals for 2011?

just4peachy

Hope everybody had a great Christmas! I didn't log at all (I hadn't intended to) but now I wish I had. I'm not sure if I ate too much or if it's beccause I was eating junk but I felt AWFUL driving home from my parents last night! I'm guessing it was a combination of both.
Going shopping in a bit with my little sister, hoping to score a great deal on a new pair of running shoes :happy:

TaraMaria

QOTD: What are your health and fitness goals for 2011?

Ooo Yikes! This might be too early for me...LOL! But I guess I better hop to it eh? I know that mine include training for a half marathon and running as many 5k's as possible. I want to maintain my weight, which is scary! LOL! And I want to improve my swimming and eventually be able to swim a mile which is easier said then done! )

Taking a cooking break and I just had to say: GO ALL OF US WARRIOR DASHERS!!!

Haha!

I'm signing up for the June 18th race!!!! I wish we could all go to the same one!!! However my husband is considering doing it with me as he just got running shoes for Christmas and will be starting C25K training! I'm waiting to sign up to see if a few more friends want to do it with us in the same wave! )

QOTD: What are your health and fitness goals for 2011?

- Reach my goal weight of 135-ish lbs by the summer
- Run a 5K at some point in 2011
- Look fabulous in a bikini, preferably on a tropical vacation with Randy or something
- End 2011 maintaining my goal weight, maybe even lower! Maintenance is definitely hard...
- Push myself with the personal training I'm meeting with 3 times a month for the whole year. I really want to get in shape and stay that way.

I think mine is 11 obstacles.

TaraMaria

OKAY! SO!

QOTD: How bad did you do? I'm not saying in a "You miserable failure" sort of way. I'm saying we all enjoyed ourselves, had a good time, opened presents, ate, laughed all of those calories off (I wish!) and now how do you feel about the whole thing?


I think overall....I enjoyed myself! I didn't stress! If I wanted something, I ate it. I stopped when I was full. I even went for a run on Christmas morning! HOWEVER! I sabotaged myself when I had a final Christmas party at my house yesterday...oh dear...why in heavens name did I cook so much? Haha! Stuffed mushrooms, meatballs, bacon with lil' smokies, cheesey chive dip, spinach dip, three kinds of cookies, banana bread...the kind of stuff you can just pick up as you are walking by and eat way too much of! So I give myself a ten for awesome as far as Christmas Eve and Christmas goes and then yesterday was -5....LOL! Overall score because of my wobbly landing: 5. ha ha!
