    Why would I want to put Christmas behind me? It was a great week of fun events with family and friends, and part of the memories include all the yummy foods. This isn't something I regret or want to forget. I'm up 3.5 lbs from a week ago but I know almost all of that is water and will go away soon enough.

    Yup! I am ready to get serious again! Christmas foods were yummy, but we do have leftovers. The cookies I will not touch. Hubby made them, he can eat them. He loves chocolate, I don't. But, there is a Chocolate layered, pudding, whip cream, and some kind of candy bar type layered cake in a bowl that is awesome! I stayed under calories today, so I am doing good. I did weigh after Christmas just to check the damage...4 pounds up! I would think I would lose that in a week of being good with eating habits.

    I'm back on the horse again tomorrow but I've decided to not weigh myself for as long as possible to not get discouraged about what I gained over Christmas.

    Yay! This is my favourite thread this Christmas season :smiley: 3,339 net calories over weekly goal this week, 3 days of total naughtiness, so there's a certain pound (though the scale is showing almost 4 lbs up this morning ... yikes!). Anyhow, I'm not stressed. Right back at 'er this morning, and actually psyched to be getting back into the routine. Thoroughly enjoyed every morsel and sip, but am finding comfort in returning to planned nutritious meals. We've got this people!

    I won't be beach body ready, until after Summer 2016; is officially over. I'll be ready by Summer 2017 though, well unless by then; I have a man & we become pregnant! Then I'll be happy, not to be!

    I gave my self three days to be bad, Christmas Eve, Christmas day and boxing day. Tomorrow it's back to the going stone starting with a 10k run. I know I can do it but it's gonna be hard after three days of nothingness!!!

    Snap! 3 days of badness lol, and now they're over, and actually I feel sick from too much sweet stuff, so I'm happy to be back to logging. I'm going shopping today, so lots of walking, then doing circuits this evening.

    Mine is a planned 2+ week diet break ... and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. :)

    Agreed. I'm still going to eat my leftover stocking candy... but I'll keep it logged, and in moderation. If I have to. :wink:

    Christmas isn't over yet!! It's 12 days long. :) And I'm on a diet break to the end. :grin:

    My baking begins tomorrow. I'm not sure what I'll start with ... depends what recipes I get ahold of by tomorrow afternoon. Might be attempting my grandmother's shortbread. Might be a pavlova. Maybe both.

    The next day, I'm planning to make pancakes.

    Then in a couple days, I'm hoping to do chocolate cake or chocolate brownies ... and a couple days later an apple/cherry crumble. Or maybe the other way around depending on the cherries.

    I am hoping to get a recipe for cinnamon buns which can be cooked in a slow-cooker and if all goes well, I'll do them on the New Year's Weekend.

    I think that's all the baking on my list at the moment. :)


    I'm thinking I'll return to the diet on Jan 4 ... or maybe Jan 7 (after the last day of Christmas and Epiphany) or maybe wait until Jan 8 after the Orthodox Christmas ... or maybe wait till Monday 11th. :grin: I'm not fussed.

    For cinnamon buns have you heard of Land of Nod?? By Best of Bridge ladies not sure about the crock pot idea but you do leave them overnight and bake in morning! Add me and send mail if you want that recipe!

    Also, I have been searching the Internet for years on the perfect shortbread! I'd be curious about her recipe!!!!!

    Enjoy your baking ......your house must smell amazing!!!!!

    Leftovers are almost gone! The chocolate trifle is gone! Hallelujah! We have cookies, but I will not eat those, my husband made brownies too and, those are his to eat too. So...really only ham, macaroni and cheese are leftovers to eat. And, I love the Macaroni & Cheese! I think I can finally not eat those tempting high calories that were...in the house.

    You can't find cinnamon rolls here in Australia (not good ones anyway), so when she mentioned she had made that for Christmas morning breakfast ... I was very interested. :)

    I hate water weight. I'm up 5-6lbs. I checked with 2 scales too! WTf!!! I'm usually really good about not eating too many simple carbs but with all the parties and over indulging I can't seem to stop my cravings. I've managed to keep up with all my workouts but I've eaten at or above maintenance calories.

    Even easier are the Christmas Morning Rolls. Just google them. So good and so easy. We only have them on Christmas morning.
