I'm keeping super busy with activities outside of work. I'm in 4 different choirs for Christmas. Also doing a 'post C25K' running program that goes into December.
- stay away from the office lounges and don't participate in any of the frequent pot luck activities - yep I'm a scrooge!
- trying to do better about meal planning at home
- adding more high protein vegetarian dishes to our meals (quinoa/black bean stuffed peppers tonight)
- stocking up on plain high protein easy to prepare lunch stuff
- trying to follow the '5 ingredient or less' rule with prepared foods
- going back to plan nonfat yogurt vs sweetened

I am going to to try and go to Zumba and other workouts that burn high calories!! Lots of birthdays besides the holidays in the next 3 months!! Going to Hawaii in March and I need to keep moving toward my goals!

-I've given up cheap, regular candy (my greatest weakness) until 2013. It's not forever. So far I haven't succumbed since I started MFP almost 8 weeks ago.

-To lose 1 pound per week--25 pounds in 6 months. I've already lost 13 in less than 8 weeks! There's a chance I might reach my goal weight by New Year's, but if I don't, that's fine.

-To eat like a grown-up (i.e, a diet that's not 50% candy--you think I'm exaggerating, but that actually *was* my reality). getting down to 2 sweets per day is a huge change. So far, I've already met this goal!
