New strategy idea for Christmas

OK, so I KNOW I am going to go over on calories at least a couple of times in the next week. Sort of like the past week.
I am not worried about it, it is Christmas. I have also been frustrated with the weight loss lately.
So I am going to try a more out of the box approach. Well, out of the box when you are still trying to drop another 100 pounds at least.
I am treating the next week as if I were bulking. Since I know I will be over, I am going to double up my already heavy lifting schedule.
If I know I am not going to be at a deficit, might as well try to build more muscle, right?
Instead of beating ourselves up, why don't we build ourselves up?

Sounds like a good plan to me.
I too have been frustrated lately with the whole weightloss thing.
I plan on enjoying my holidays and HOPEFULLY maintaining where I am right now - if I gain oh well crap happens. I refuse to let it get me down, I can always fix it.0 -
Sounds like you've found something to work for you.
I'm going to do my best to maintain between now and my next weigh-in (next Thursday).0 -
