So how did you do?

[Otto's Doll]

I admit it, I was bad all week. However, it is TOM also, and when I got on the scale this morning, it only registered a 3 pound gain. I honestly don't have a problem with it, I chose to eat off plan, and now am right back on Atkins. So, how did YOU do?

I haven't weighed yet, but I'm guessing I'll either maintain or have a very small loss. I had no real cheats. Last night the dessert spread at dinner was just incredible. I was feeling deprived so I added loads of cream to my coffee...much more than I'm used to but it did make me feel decadent enough to not try any of the other desserts.

Oh well, it's a new day!

Not too bad! I didn't have any starchy carbs at all, but did indulge in sugar at the end of the day.....lovely desserts at the resort where we had our dinner. My behaviour over the next 24 hours will really make the difference in what happens on the scale. So it's extra water and lots of protien and a long walk on the schedule for today.

Hope everyone had a wonderful day yesterday and don't anyone beat yourself up...it's the past......focus on the moment!

Onwards and Downwards everyone!

Not too good, but not too bad, either. I did indulge more than I should have. But I did find that I was satisfied with much less this year. I was really happy to realize what a difference there is in me this year!! I was up a pound this morning, but hopefully that will come back off soon!!

I'm struggling today. I went off-plan and had a planned indulgence day yesterday. I WANTED to be back on plan today, but forgot to plan ahead and have food ready to take to work. I'll be getting back on plan within the next day, though!

I am still drinking lots of water and I exercised this morning, so I haven't totally blown it.

I did indulge and enjoy my holiday. I almost didn't WI, but figured I needed to step on there to have a reality check. I am up 2 pounds from last week and haven't gotten off the pounds that I put on while at WDW. Today is back to counting points and Monday I will be hitting my exercise plan. I'm letting it get me down and I know that I'll get those pounds off, I just have to work at it harder than when I was trying to just maintain.

Here in the UK we celebrate for 2 days (today is Boxing Day). It is now evening so I guess I can report that I haven't cheated. I stuck to my plan, which sometimes was really difficult, because chocolate is one of my biggest downfalls, and as I mentioned in another post we now have a mountain of it in the kitchen!! I've even managed to exercise both days. This is a far cry from last year, when I ate so much junk food I felt ill. I don't plan on weighing myself until my weekly WI which is Wed morning, so hopefully I will show a loss then.

I went slightly off plan with about 5 cookies on Christmas Eve, & mashed potatoes on Christmas Day. I had planned to cheat some & I think I stayed within what I allowed myself. Now all I have to do is get through MIL's 87th birthday party tomorrow, & Newe Years Eve when I'm expecting to be faced with a lot of high carb choices. I'm keeping up with my exercise so hopefully I'll be able to report a loss at next week's weigh in.

So far I have done okay. I had no potatoes, no breads for Christmas dinner. I did have dessert, but I had planned on that being my treat. I had a very small piece of coconut cream pie and a sliver of a raspberry tart. Other than that I was good!
All week I did the 3 mile WATP and on Christmas Eve I did the tape and a mile on the treadmill. I did not exercise on Christmas day, but plan on getting back to the 3 mile WATP this evening.
I gained 2 pounds over Thanksgiving and I promised myself I would not do that for Christmas.

I made tons of TERRIBLE, but yummy choices yesterday--and if I'm honest, the day before. . .and probably the day before that! HOWEVER, I'm happy with the choices I've made today to exercise, drink lots of water, and eat within the points.

There's no looking back, only onward and downward!

Well, I had a whole week of making bad choices-- not only holiday foods, but we attended a wedding out of town and with the rehearsal dinner, eating out with friends we haven't seen in a while, etc. Also, I was sick and wanted comfort foods. I am trying not to be too hard on myself, and today I am back on track.

Right before I left to go out of town last week, I weighed in with my nutritionist and after 5 weeks I had lost 13 lbs!!! I am so excited. So I figured I've gained a little back but by the time I weigh in again at the end of the month I should be on track.

I was BAD, BAD, BAD! But DH and I had lots planned over the past week so we made a decision to go "off plan" for a week and deal with the consequences afterwards. So here I sit up 5 lbs as of today but back on plan. My official weigh in is on Sunday and maybe a couple of these pounds will be gone by then. I was hoping to maybe maintain but I wasn't shocked at all to have a gain as I reallly did eat anything I wanted and drank very little water. I did eat less than I would have in years past but didn't really deprive myself of anything. I am back on plan and headed Onward and Downward!!

 

[nancyj_pa]

I maintained this week. I did have a couple of glasses of wine but I ate on plan (mostly). A few extra carbs of salad dressing and low-carb cheese cake I made myself. On Christmas day, DH and I went for a long walk in the A.M. So I did get in a little exercise.

I felt really good about my food decisions, and I guess that's what it's all about. A big difference from last year! This year I"M in control.

I couldn't resist having my 100% dominican Christmas dinner... an homage to greasy foods

But I got right on track the next morning. So I'm crossing my fingers for my next weight in.

 

[Auggietina]

I went off program but enjoyed my choices. I went back on program yesterday. I had some yummy Lindt white chocolate truffles that were my downfall! But they are gone and am ready to start fresh!

 

[disboo]

I have had a couple of homemade cookies each day for the last few days, a small glass fo wine on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and not exercised at all. I am actually up 2 pounds, but my weight has been bouncing a lot and I think I am in pre-menopause (spotting and unpredictability hot flashes and - oh, i'm ready for real menopause!) So I am think the 2 # will drop back off as soon as I am back on plan - and today i have been pretty sduccessful - munching on an olive as I type instead of opeing that cookie tin!

Thanks for the reality checks from all of you - I agree - onward and downward!
