    Thanks @LazyBlondeChef for the links above - great information, including the tips for the holidays. And although those mocktails look very interesting... I don't drink very much alcohol.

    Track: yes
    Calories: yes
    Exercise: yes
    • Treadmill: 38 min / 2.21 mi
    Pass Days: 3/3

    Even if you don't drink alcohol a lot of the mocktail type drinks can be quite flavorful and relatively low cal. I like cocktails and favor strong flavors. At the same time I get quite bored of drinking water all the time so it's nice to have some flavorful alternatives available without breaking the calorie bank.

    Pass Day as Planned - I think I'm up to 10?
    Exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong, 10 minutes or so of walking around outside while supervising kids, many minutes of carrying my 5 year old around at the gathering because they had dogs and he is terrified of dogs and has not been in a house with dogs during the time he can remember. I am sore today in all the right places so I think my exercise program is helping.
    Tracking - Preplanned my food for the day except for the 2pm brunch, as planned.
    Calories - Ate what I wanted at the brunch, didn't go too "hog wild," for sure over.

    I don't drink alcohol or juice or soda. Occasionally apple cider (I had some mulled cider yesterday) or a flavored seltzer. I had some decaf earl grey with eggnog in it yesterday too as a festive drink (with a teabag I brought from home).

    This morning, waking up feeling sore from carrying my kid and just a bit hungover from all the sugar and socializing I was thinking that I am so glad that I don't drink so I don't have to contend with a real hangover. That is why I stopped, because I got a terrible hangover from any amount of alcohol, and the less I drank the worse the hangover was whenever I did - so it became a negative feedback loop and I just stopped all together.

    @LazyBlondeChef I was thinking about your food pusher article at the gathering, because they were definitely food pushers. At least not specifically to one person, but just in general. We finished brunch and went outside to a fire pit, where there were S'mores. Then when we came in they said, "Have some hot chocolate!" And candy dishes everywhere - even though one of the hosts had his lower leg amputated last year due to diabetes. But like I said, it was directed at everyone and it was kind and welcoming, really. So no strategies needed other than in my own head - I kept on saying "I am here to see people not to eat." It helped somewhat.
