I survived my husbands staff Christmas party. Filled 3/4 of my plate with veggies, a bit of turkey and of course a couple of perogies. I indulged in one cookie. No problem tracking and keeping under calories. Full body strength workout this afternoon.

Yes x3 today! I did a 20-minute Zumba and a 40-minute walk!
This group is just what I need to stay accountable. I love this group and I’m so happy it exists! Thanks to all of you!

Yes x 3 for Monday
Day #2 of Disneyland! My counter says 21,000 steps but my husband's says over 24,000 steps. We we're together all day so something is off, lol. Anyway ate pretty light and I will be taking my special caramel apple treat home with me instead of eating the calories today which would send me over.

I appreciated people's input on holiday meal planning during Thanksgiving. It helped me stay in track, and I plan to employ the same strategy in December. Extra exercise, try to eat beforehand, and smaller portions overall. Worked great for me, I actually ended up loosing 2 lbs that week, after three stubborn weeks if the scale not moving.

Yes x3! Took a 60 min yoga class, followed by a 60 min barre class and rounded off the day with 60+ min dog walk

Dec 10
Yes x 3

3xYES

Dec. 10

Exercise: Yes, 30 min strength. almost had a pass cuz my period cramps were so bad it was difficult to get up but the pain went down enough to squeeze in a workout, spent rest of the day resting & exhausted tho
Calories: Yes. I've been a bit too close to going over tho, I've been enjoying my holiday treats but I need to tone it down a bit
Tracked: Yes

My plan to staying healthy during the rest of the holidays is to just be more flexible and less restrictive, stay as active as possible, save my pass days when it's really worth it, and stress less about food & find more joy in spending time with my family and preparing for Christmas

I wait all year for holiday food so when days like Thanksgiving, Christmas come I let myself feast on whatever lol, I'm raised by a family who knows how to cook damn well & raised in a state/city with lots of food culture and when I go to my extended family's for xmas there's soo much glorious, yummy foods that you just can't pass up on. And Thanksgiving in my house is an opportunity to create & practice culinary "masterpieces", and what's Thanksgiving without tons of butter?. There is no such thing as "just a bit of turkey and some veggies and a salad and a thumb sized slice of pie" LOL.

I'm only 2-3 years into my fitness journey and haven't quite mastered the whole "self control" thing, so overeating is still a battle that I lose to. But I plan on doing even better next year, cuz there's always time for improvement
