    Me too! I kept making excuses everyday. Today I'm going to be strong and start making the right choices again.

    I fell off, too... you're definitely not alone!! I can't imagine running a half a marathon... that's amazing!! Keep up the good work! :smile:

    I'll admit, I certainly indulged more than usual the past few days. I'm proud of myself for at least making the time and keeping up with my exercise though - it would have been much worse if I hadn't done that! And I think getting back on the eating healthy wagon is far easier than getting motivated to start up the exercise routine again.

    Holidays can be a difficult time to resist goodies, but like all things, they end! Back to your regularly scheduled programs. :smile:

    Add me to the list. *hangs head in shame* I did so well in November and the first week of December. Then the cookies and chocolates started rolling into the office. I resisted, but didn't find the time to exercise as much. The last week, though, I totally gave in. I had to weigh in today for a competition I'm in and I put on 4 pounds this past week. No! But I have a 5K this weekend, and the girlfriends and I are back in the gym starting tonight, so hopefully I'll drop those darn cookie (oh, and turkey, dressing, casseroles, fried chicken, and cake) pounds quickly.

    It's ok to fall off as long as you get back on. :)

    I upped my goal from 1200 net to 1500 net last week because I'd stalled (and failed to eat enough, so still didn't lose!). Xmas day and boxing day I didn't track, but I doubt I was much over spanning the two days because yesterday I really wasn't hungry. On the other hand, the alcohol may have put me over. I don't care. It's two days. :)

    Today I'm back to tracking, back to the gym, and trying to work out how to handle 4 days in Paris over New Year.

    I think I'll be happy just to have maintained by 6th Jan, to be honest. Then I'm away for a week at an all inclusive resort with a gym and pool, so while I'll track, loosely, again, I'm aiming for having fun, feeling energetic, upping my weight lifting and maintaining my pounds loss to date. 16th Jan is back to normality.

    Fell off the wagon, roll down the hill and I am in a ditch right now. I am trying to get back on track. At least I can be proud of going to the gym a few times since last Friday. Darn snow storms are not helping, it has been very hard getting around and it is snowing again today.

    There is no wagon. Beginning now, do the things that you know you should do to regain your health.

    I went over my calories on Christmas day but other than that I did pretty well so far. The month isn't over and my birthday is coming up so we'll see how the rest of it goes ;)

    Fell off and got back up. Feeling good about my changes and this year is going to be the one that I blow off the charts. :laugh: I am working out and feeling awesome. We all stall but the fact you get back up and keep going means you will make your goal.

    Fall off the wagon? No... I kindly stepped off, then decided to dismantle it, while simultaneously breaking anything I touched.

    Ugh.

    To top it off, my friends and I do a "Secret Santa" deal where we send our gifts to one another without a return address... and I got two bikinis with a note that says "Tropical Vacation Incentive".

    I put on a whopping 6 pounds. In 22 days! It takes me 28 days at least to take that off! ARGH!

    <======= Guilty.
    I DID workout Christmas morning. But then ate my weight in stuffing and pie. :ohwell:

    I'm back on it now.
    Did 45 minutes of Spin today, will do an hour of Zumba/Sentao tomorrow and a 75 minute Spin on Saturday.

    All the cookies and treats are banished from my house, with the exception of a homemade Pear Cake that my dear friend only makes once a year, divided and frozen into tiny pieces. :)

    Time to get out of the ditch and back on track! :happy:

    Yes I did. I continued my excercises and likely I didnt gain anything back. I made some bad food choices but Im not gonna beat myself up for it. Besides this is a lifestyle change and its not gonna be easy and its not gonna happen overnight.

    Yup. Not just a day here and there, either. Full-on regression back to my original bad habits since right around Halloween.

    I think I'm just about ready to take back control, though.

    I jumped off the wagon with both feet, starting about a week ago, and am just today getting back on. To make things worse, the gym I work at has closed down unexpectedly, so I'm getting the old double whammy. I fully expect not to get back on track until the new year. The treadmill here at home will be my pal for the next couple of days. It came off before, it'll come off again.

    Yep and like you back on the wagon...a few days wouldn't kill me...but now back to the slow, steady discipline I need...70 down, 70 to go. Keep your head up...it's ok to be human and celebrate a bit...just as long as you come back into your good routine. Keep at it!

    It has been a rough week and a half here. Went on a cruise and it wasn't pretty. Baked goodies for Christmas when I got back and things got worse. I did work out for the first time yesterday and I threw away the rest of the brownies this morning. This leaves only the apple pie, made with splenda. Since I can take or leave a piece of pie, it is safe to stay. I am back and on a mission again as of this moring.

    I think anyone who didn't fall of the wagon for at least Christmas Day is not enjoying their life to the fullest. Yeah, you fell, but ot was lotsa fun tumbling down in the weeds.

    You fell, you pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get right back on that wagon.

    Oh my goodness, yes! Someone on this site profoundly hurt my feelings in November, I deleted my account, and things have not gone well since.

    Do not some internet jackwagon deter you from your goals. You are in this for you, not some idiot who types bs to you. Don't give anyone else the power to make you feel bad and don't let them live rent free in your head. It's ok to dismiss negative people from your life. Glad you are back...now kick butt woman!

    I was really good through Thanksgiving and first 2 weeks of December, the last 2 weeks got a hold of me. Like you I continued with my exercise but eating was BAD....but I am back on track, logging food and started Shakeology to replace breakfast!
