    I didn't buy candy this year. My boys are 16 and 18. They can buy their own candy, lol! My temptation is salt....The ham and fixings gave me my fix and now I'm good! Back on the wagon.

    Welp, my plans to just eat and not care completely went out the window 'cause I got the stomach bug that my kids got last night, so I'd say there's no temptation today. It's hard to be tempted when the sight ad smell of food make you nauseous. I have two cadbury creme eggs just for today, too. Sad face.

    Needless to say, I will be well under my calorie goal for at least today.

    Not a problem so far. My mind is fixed on the goal of losing 10 pounds before I indulge myself in any way.

    There wasn't much temptation for me, but at the same time it's just my family. I'll probably go a little over my maintenance calories, however this is negligible since it won't be by a large margin, and today I haven't been as active as I normally am.

    I was doing great. Went downhill skiing then took a break for a beer, then another and then one more for good measure. At least it wasn't peeps or peanut butter eggs, right?

    Too much food the last two days but no regret because it was tasty! Back on track tomorrow.

    We had some nice roast lamb with roasted vegetables. Then a couple of pieces of a nice dark chocolate. I don't get all the drama about Easter.

    I exercised this am. I am eating what I want today---nothing too outrageous.

    I ate grilled salmon and asparagus. Then a double helping of garlic mashed potatoes and a double serving of coffee cake. I had every intention of not going overboard, but I did.

    I'm really glad I went to the gym and ate light earlier. Still, wish I had more will power.

    I was a rock star today until about 4 pm. We aren't going to talk about anything after 4 pm. But tomorrow is another day, and I'm going to KILL IT.

    I ate all of the things. But hey, one indulgent day isn't going to regain the 66 pounds I've lost. Tomorrow is a new day.

    I did very well, avoided all chocolates, scalloped potatoes, my own spinach squares, I did have wine, but red wine is both acceptable and I did account for it. The smoked ham was fantastic, had some but I had more of the roasted vegis that I brought.

    Badly! Baked a lot of Easter bread and most of it is going to work tomorrow, however, the loaf I kept for myself is shrinking... t3160os6fji4.jpeg

    Pretty awesome. Refeed day today to make sure I crush my training on Tuesday. Still have about 1000 calories to get through today, after about 2500.

    I ended up with about 1600 calories over ( a lot since I'm only 5 ft) but I did get over 10k steps in today and 15 min of weight lifting.

    I've already planned some extra work outs for this week :)

    Me and my siblings are all fully fledged adults but our mum still buys us easter eggs, and my partner and I buy each other eggs too, so...needless to say, I didn't even attempt to exercise my willpower.

    It's been surprisingly easy for me, managed to make all the Easter eggs fit into my macros eased by some cardio I did yesterday so I could have a little bit more. Weighed myself this morning and lost 1.6 lbs since last Monday so I think I'm in a small minority of people who've lost weight over Easter.

    I went WAY over yesterday at Easter. I knew there was going to be a ton of delicious food at my cousin's Easter dinner. Delicious lamb shank and ham, with roasted brussels sprouts, yummy spinach salad, green beans and a little penne a la vodka. That and lots of red wine at the all day party. I knew I was basically eating two entrees at lunch so I didn't have dinner because I was still stuffed. I wanted to try everything and went for smaller portions of the higher calorie items, but still, it's an onslaught of food when your family is Italian! So, today is a new day, I really watched what I ate and got back down to my normal calorie count. I don't feel bad about what I ate at Easter because it was a very special occasion (family reunion) and I know I don't normally pork out.

    XD

    My Easter was pretty crappy. I overrate, nothing worth the calories thanks to a family emergency, but I did pick up some Cadbury milk chocolate eggs today. I'll have some after dinner.

    I ate candy yesterday, I logged, and today I'm on track.

    I did not buy candy really tempts me though. I can eat a bag of sweet tart jelly beans all by myself. Those are my favorite non-chocolate candies.
