So? How was it? Did you eat lots of good food or control yourself? Did you enjoy yourself? Are you excited to start busting your butt for the new year??

I personally gave myself a complete break from eating healthy and working out (unless I wanted to) for the last month (I only gained five pounds) but now I'm SOO excited to start working out again. I downloaded a bunch of new workout videos and found some on YouTube and I got a new workout Wii game from my cousin so I can't wait to try it out. I'm all set!

How about you?

    I had a really good holiday and controlled myself when it came to food. I did let myself have 1 piece of pumpkin roll at thanksgiving, and boy was it worth it....YUM. I didnt exercise as much as I normally do, but i was busier, I am ready to get back into my routine and start working harder.
    I got a HRM for christmas and bought myself 2 new workout tapes. SO READY....Lets do this

    I did a little of both - I worked out and indulged in moderation (is that possible - HAHA!)

    I am not a fan of Christmas Cookies so that was an easy one to avoid but I had found this heavenly morsel called "Trader Joes Merry Mingle" and I'll just say I am glad it’s only sold seasonally and that it’s all gone at my house!! They are like Turtles (chocolate, nuts, and caramel) with the addition of dried cranberries. Two of them for 140 calories. I ate a lot of them - A lot!

    themommie - what HRM did you get? I have wanted to get one to get a more accurate tracking of my Bootcamp Workouts but didn’t have enough research in to ask for it as a Christmas gift. What typed did you get and do you like it??

    Kayteebear - what new Wii workout game did you get? I have gotten back into using my Wii Fit when I don’t have a regularly scheduled Bootcamp or Pilates class and have been looking to get some new fitness games. Would love some suggestions.

    Happy New Year!!

    I ate really well for the beginning part of Christmas break and had some treats but with a lot of moderation. Unfortunately my daughter got some Lindt truffles and other yummy chocolate things and I have been "picking" at them. I feel like I'm getting back into my mode of "fooling myself" into thinking that one chocolate (or three) is no big deal.

    So far I have worked out four out of the last four days. I'm not killing myself but it's a start.

    I got an HRM for Christmas. It is a Schosche my trek. It works with an iphone or ipod touch. Unfortunately my iphone is the old version and it doesn't work with that so I have to borrow my husbands or one of my kids (LOL). I've never used an HRM before but the calorie track seems much higher than I would have predicted. That sounds good but I don't want to over estimate what I'm doing either. Maybe I'm burning a lot of calories because I am so out of shape!

    Happy New Year!!

    I wasn't as strict as I normally try to be but also didn't binge insanely. I ended up still losing 5 lb. I think for the month :drinker: So i'm happy with that!

    Finally have my gym membership again! SOOOO excited to try out some of these group fitness classes.

    I was pretty indulgent over the holidays, and really just restarted my weight loss journey on Jan 3...I gained 5lbs in December (yuck). I think that 5 should come off pretty quick though! I am doing well this week and I love this site!

    Oh, and I got Gold's Gym Cardio Party too! (I also got the Dance Party one) Have done a little on them, and enjoyed it!!
