There is no McDonalds where I live, or KFC, or Burger King...0 -
I love reading this thread. Your choices are all great.
This morning I chose to cook oatmeal for breakfast instead of eating nothing. I used a tiny drizzle of agave for sweetener instead of spoonfuls of sugar.0 -
I have been cutting down on the amount of coffee I have been drinking (I can't drink it unless it has milk and sugar) and replacing it with green tea - black no sugar and no calories. To make it more interesting I have been trying out different flavours such as peppermint or jasmine.0

I threw out the last of the leftovers from TG yesterday, including pies, but when I was making my lunch today I found the leftover cranberries. I was really tempted to put a little on my sandwich for lunch but stuck with the tomato. Also, everyday that I resist one of the Christmas cookies I made with my grandkids last weekend is a good day.................LOL. I give cookies away every year as gifts and we make about 10 different kinds and fill up my freezers until they're all boxed up. So far I've resisted the urge. It's working because I actually lost a little over a pound last week, Thanksgiving and all!0

I ate a few mini shortbread finger which was 25 calories per piece rather than having large ones covered in sugar which are about 250 calories each.0

Hahaha, I've noticed that before. I knew I hadn't gained any weight, I was ultra careful, but was surprised that I had actually lost a little. Today is my double gym day so I guess Thanksgiving is definitely over......LOL0 -
Today I had my leftover soup instead of breaking open a new can and eating the whole thing.0

Yesterday, we got some Omaha Steak stuff in the mail Yippee! Mostly healthy foods like steaks and chicken breasts. So we'll be eating well the next week or so!
Today is MY BIRTHDAY!! Last year of my 20's. I plan on sticking to my fast (today is a fast day for me) and enjoying the Shari's Berries my hubs got TOMORROW... when I can eat regularly. The holidays tend to be when I binge eat bc of b-days and Christmas... it feels great knowing that I'm not doing that this year 0 -
Today should be easy, I'm burning a lot of calories with a big swim this morning and an hour circuit class tonight. I actually had to add some extra food into my day...............LOL
Tomorrow we head up north to a wedding though so the next three days will be my challenge. I'll be walking every day and tracking so hopefully I'll do alright. We had a trip in November as well and I managed and even lost a little weight.0 -
