Hi all! I haven't posted in ages...I have de-railed! Been eating holiday junk....and not having a care in the world...Drinking many "drinks" and having a blast....I turned 40 on Christmas Day.....(yah, yah, yah...blah blah blah !).......and now...I am afraid to even step on the scale! I sooooo need to get to the gym...move....sweat....and I feel like I need to drink some Protein drinks for like 2 weeks! Sort of a post holiday de-tox! LOL...

Anyone else feel the same way? How did that happen?

I am so with you.... I need to do liquids for a full week and get back on track. The snacking is killing me. I go for my second fill on the 4th and I am ready. I really just need to refocus.My birthday is the 25th of January and I plan on having a blast so on that note I need to get back focused as we speak..lol

Good look!!!!

With the snow yesterday I did'nt get to the gym. Two hours of pushing the snow blower is exercise right?

I'm with you! Got rid of anything in the house that was not healthy yesterday, going to the gym after work today. Haven't been there for 2 weeks! I actually kind of miss it. Hoping I at least maintained, pretty sure I haven't lost, but have also been ignoring the scale. Happy New Year to everyone.... wishing you much success in 2011!!!

Off topic, yes going to the gym is addictive! Yesterday was a #$%$#%# dealing with the snow storm and doing snow removal; but it was'nt my daily swim. Normally at night I am tired and fall asleep so nicely. Last night was okay but I did'nt have that "good tired" feeling.

Yeah, I had a good ol time during Christmas holidays too I nibbled ,tasted and indulged all my taste buds. I did'nt actually have a regular piece of cake or pie but nibbles add up. Dec 27 I put it all behind me everything leftover was bagged and put in the frezzer for my hubby to enjoy as he likes. I just had to get it OUT OF MY FACE ! I am back to my reality and I am feeling safer sheilded from the temptations by a freezer door and a recent fill.

I did horrible over the holidays. No working out at all and ate so many sweets. I gained 12-14 lbs over the last 2 months! I am back on track now. I also got rid of anything bad in the house. I made a meal plan for the week and did the grocery shopping accordingly. I have already had my work out today. I got it done so early that I may actually have another small workout this evening. I hope this excitement for the new year and new me sticks around for a while! Happy new year and new you everyone!

Yes chocolate is poison. I ate then had a fill on the 30th however I am a scale horder every single day and I gained but now I have lost 6lbs in three days after my fill. I have been cleaning like a mad woman today and havent thought about eating just a Protein Shake this morning with some blueberries in it. I find that berries keep me way full for a long time. Well happy New Year people and onward we struggle day to day. I also found out that chocolate tears up my stomach so bad it really wasnt worth eating. My guts are so sensitive since surgery sometimes when I eat things that kill me I wonder why I bothered.

I am in the same boat..I have been off track for sometime now. I have rescheduled many appts with embarrassment that Im not where I should be. I will definitely get myself back on track. Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year!

I love what someone once told me....the band is around our stomachs, not our brains! This was my 1st holiday season with the band and had just assumed I would do fantastic but, being a food addict, I didn't so so well over the holidays either. I grazed, nibbled, and ate for 2 solid weeks. I don't want to step on the scale because even though I know I didn't do as well as I should have, I DID NOT do the damage that I once did and, for me, that is a NSV. If I am up a couple of pounds, I take ownership of it and blame no one else but myself. The past is the past and I am back on track now. I (HOPEFULLY) learned a lesson on how to cope with the holidays for next year but can't look too far beyond day to day. I am proud that today I went to the gym at 5 a.m. and had a healthy, Protein rich Breakfast. That is all I can ask of myself right now. Hope everyone has a happy and healthy 2011!!!
