I am not sure when and where the English language acquired the phrase, "falling off the wagon" to indicate that you had lost your self-control and returned to a bad habit (usually, drinking). It's pretty hard to stay on the wagon before and during holidays, especially the Thanksgiving through New Year's traditional season of over-indulgence.
Now that Christmas is over, it's time to get back on the wagon.

I'll be walking alongside the wagon until my sister goes home beginning of January, so not back on but not out of touch either. And could I please have the wagon with the puppies on it (as long as someone else looks after them!).3

Exercised?: Yes. 6km in 46 mins (hills)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
2x3km walks, one in the morning, one in the evening.
Lunch at hotel for Brother-in-law's birthday. Birthday season in our family (brother-in-law, nephew and father all within a month).
With the habits I have formed though out the year, I find I am not wanting snacks, appetisers, chips/dips or other "eating" treats. I eat largish meals, but most "snack" type food is not a reward (and I feel no compulsion to eat it). Makes sticking within budget easy.
Hope everyone else is having a great festive season (and not having too much to claw back).3 -
ugh, claw back. I just done a 1000 cal burn. My climb, but I am fizzling rather than finishing. Yesterday I got some climb but I run into my buddy (lower case 'b') on the road and we yakked for longer than I climbed.
Heh. Some days ago I talked about that water not being frozen and how I was baffled by that. I go to stick my hand in that water and what is there? Big ole fish that is what. I guess it is only natural that a fish would swim out from under the ice and hang out in open water.
Not only that, then I am descending at a borderline madman pace and a buck jumps out in front of me! Heh, a sportsman would ask me "how many points?" I'd be all like "what are points?"
Well, you are supposed to look at the antlers and see how many points are on them. Well, it went by too fast for me to count.
That buck went by me and I stopped, thinking "where did he go?"
I looked by the side of the road and that looked like a ravine to me. That guy had to have jumped not only in front of me but over that ravine.
Man o man!
I am getting thoroughly attached to that road.
I be that weird old man that goes up and down the same road day in and day out.
I guess it is ok to live like that.

LOL Bob you are going up and down the same road and I wave to everyone when I am in drive thru.
So far so good I have decided if I want a cookie to eat it I just have to count it all
Yes x 36 -
Dec. 25 didn’t track
Dec. 26 over on calories, but tracked everything1 -
Dec. 23, 24 and 25 no tracking, way too much drinking.
Back on the wagon today!
5,072 steps, over 1 hour active. Starting new strength program.
Well under on calories, with excellent nutrition.
Everything logged.
Onward and downward!!3 -
Yes x 3 for today 12/26. Too cold to suit me for outside activity. Exercise videos substituted for outside walk. I'm not a spring chicken so Jane Fonda was my exercise guru today. Other days I choose to follow Gilad routines. I enjoy his routines filmed on the shores of Honolulu with Diamond Head in the background. I'm definitely NOT a beach person; but the overall setting in Hawaii is much more pleasing than western NY this time of year!2

I'm back on the wagon today!
Exercise: I was out in the super cold and found that my horses had ice jammed into balls under their hooves. That had never happened before. I spent a lot of time at -6 degrees F, or -21 C. I had to use a hoof pick and a rasp to try to cut off the ice. Lots of exercise and multiple trips to warm my hands
Tracking: ok
Calories: under by more than 500 kcal1 -

Not too bad a day, was on goal and tracking reasonably well until supper. Had decided to save my planned salmon roast for New Year's Day So cooked tandoori chicken, dhal and veg curry - so far so good. Then husband decided he would like onion bhajis. I know I didn't have to have any, but after making them I couldn't resist. So a bit over on calories. No snow, ice or freezing temperatures here, but a bit damp.1
