Believe me, you are certainly NOT the only one to "enjoy" the holiday goodies! :noway:
I gained between 5 and 6 pounds myself in the last month. :grumble: Can't really pin point dates like you, but I CAN say that brownies, cookies, candy, etc. every time I turned around did it! :embarassed: :laugh:
Now it's back to "behaving" myself!
We CAN do it!

I'm up about 4-5 pounds myself from Christmas, so I know how you feel! But I'm back at it... and have been since Sunday. The good news is that weight put on in a short amount of time usually comes off in a short amount of time too. At least it seems that way for me. :bigsmile: If you make sure to get back on track, that weight will come right off!!

Good luck!

I just finished my exercise for the day..but before I started I had to check my HRM and the settings...and yup, I had to increase my wt 5 lbs. But, when I read your post, I took away from it at least 2 positives. 1. you were socializing, and 2. you were not at home eating alone for stress or feelings....All done in good cheer! Christmas and New Year's come once a year, I say celebrate and look, you are already looking ahead! You can do it, and I bet you will look amazing on that river trip!

I know how you feel and New Year's Eve is tomorrow! My in-laws are doing a fondue so I am going to have dinner before-hand so I don't go crazy.

I'm reading Bob Greene's Best Life Diet which seems to be more about common sense than an actual diet. I quite like it and feel like I have a bit more control.
