The Effects of the Holidays

I have actually been scared to step on the scale!  I set out with great intentions and then I was bombarded with bread, cookies, clams casinos - seriously what's a girl to do?

I must say that I don't think I OVER ate, and I certainly did not eat nearly the amount I normally would have.  I did, however, eat my fill.

For a day and a half all my good intentions went by the wayside and I indulged in my family's wonderful gatherings and party food!

Today I took the plunge and stepped on the scale - I gained 0.2 pounds... not nearly as bad as I thought.  I got back into my routine last night - treadmill time and food planning - and I am feeling pretty good!


One beautiful bright spot on my holiday gain was my Christmas present - a FitBit!!!  Check them out if you don't know what they are, it is very motivational for me.  I have had it for 2 days now and I just keep trying to beat my previous days score.  Today I set out to see how many flights of stairs I could get in, without actually running up and down them of course.  I LOVE that it connects into MFP and adjusts my calories accurately.  I even wore it to track my sleep last night - in 7 hours I woke up 15 times!!  I am sure I will have more to say about my wonderful new gadget soon!

My final thoughts for this post - I would say I survived the holiday!  I will take that 0.2 gain and make it disappear.  I enjoyed my holidays in addition to being conscious of my intake and that to me is success!
