I’m starting today.
So much for my Holiday Goals! Remember them?
- Enjoy myself and RELAX – Check. Kind of. I had a FABULOUS Christmas Eve and Christmas. I wasn’t even on the computer for about 48 hours straight, that may be a new record for me! But I still had to take care of some stuff. Ahhh the life of an over achiever. ;~P
- Mindful eating – Oh it was mindful alright. The cookies were mindful, the candy was mindful the seconds, thirds and fourths were mindful. Man I think I just mindfully ate my way through 3 days.
- Drink Water – So so. I started off good but then I got lazy.
Normally, after a 3 day Christmas eating bender I’d just say “F” it and continue to be out of control until New Years. As if on New Years day the Sun and Moon will come into perfect alignment and I will find the much needed will power to stay in control. What a bunch a crap. It’s funny how my mind works.
So if you are in the same boat as I and fell off the wagon… “GET OVER IT”
You came, you celebrated, you allowed come Holiday indulgences now it’s time to get back on track!
I hope you will join me! I’ll be back later will my food journal and daily post.

I've recently discovered the amazing combination of cheese and dried cherries. I know, it sounds weird, but seriously… good! The other day I smeared some Laughing Cow Light Swiss on Cucumber slices and then topped with a cherry. It was a fun, sweet twist on standard cheese and crackers. Well, cheese [...] -
If I was a good blogger this idea would have been published BEFORE the Super Bowl not during it. I made these today to have a little fun. Surprisingly, The Husband liked them even though he didn't eat more than one. Why? Because he's strange like [...] -
If you read my weight loss blog you know I'm battling a bit of back and neck pain right now. I'm starting to feel a little better but those first few days where rough. Being the head chef of the household, this meant we ordered in a couple of times. I'm [...] -
I'm LOVING Pinterest! I can just scroll all day long looking at food photo after food photo. I wish I had more time to peruse! (I'm RoniNoone there by the way?) The other day I pinned a Portabello Mushroom pizza and was immediately inspired. It's such a simple idea and so light. [...] -
The other day I found myself craving an Orange Julius. Are they as popular as I think they are? Growing up we had an Orange Julius at our local mall. It was always a treat for us at the end of a family shopping trip. Once I was old enough to be [...] -
So I'm a little breakfast nutty at the moment. Little Bean LOVES eggs and I find myself cooking them more and more. This morning I decided to go super light (after last nights chocolate overload) and it was totally satisfying for just over 100 calories! The trick to making [...] -
A few weeks ago I saw Chef Michael Simon make a raw kale salad on The Chew. He sliced beets up real thin and cut the kale into ribbons. Then made a vinaigrette out of red wine vinegar and olive oil. I was immediately intrigued. So far I've only [...] -
I've had this idea for a quick creamy chicken dish for a few days now. It was time to give it a shot. The whole family LOVED it. I'm not joking. The only complaint came from Little Guy who declared his hate of mushrooms yet again BUT he ate everything around them. Fine [...] -
I made this on a total whim yesterday as I had leftover avocado after feeding the baby and leftover Spaghetti squash cooked from the weekend. I roasted the squash to serve with my Chicken tips instead of potatoes and it was AMAZING! Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked. So I'm sitting there staring [...] -
It's post holiday season. You know what that means? Leftover Crescent rolls to experiment with! Every year for Thanksgiving I buy a few canisters. It's the only time I do as I can't be trusted around them. Let's just say I'd beat you in the How-Many-Crescent-Rolls-Can-You-Eat-In-One-Sitting game and leave [...] -
Last week the kids and I tried parsnips for the first time and I've made them 3 times since. I wanted to figure out the best way to roast them. Yeah, that's it, the best way to roast them. You'll buy that right? Right? The truth is, I'm obsessed. I found myself [...] -
Yesterday just felt like a good day to stuff an acorn squash. I had one sitting on my counter for quite some time and it was just begging to be cooked. Since both husband and child don't like it I made a solo meal just for me and, well, it was DELICIOUS! [...] -
I bought a fennel bulb on a whim for the holidays not knowing quite what I would do with it. Of course I forgot about until yesterday when I was rummaging through the fridge trying to figure out what I wanted to make for breakfast. I pulled it out and stared [...] -
I probably should have warned you I was taking a holiday hiatus. I've been soaking up every moment of family time imaginable these last few days, leaving no time for anything else. Not even blogging! Shocking I know. ;) So I return not with a new recipe, per se, but to [...] -
Here's a quick idea for when you find yourself with a spaghetti squash but don't quite know what to do with it. Come on. Admit it. That's happened to you too. It's sure happened to me! I roasted this squash on Sunday... [...] -
I'm not sure if this will be a crowd pleaser, but I liked it and thought I'd share in hopes it inspires you to have some fun with kale. I loved the combination of sweet pear, earthy kale, salty bacon bits and creamy hummus. The only issue with the wrap was [...] -
I'm going on day 2 of counting Weight Watcher Points and I'm already inspired to come up with light, healthy meals for myself. It's like I needed the constraint of points to motivate me. Isn't that weird? Anyway, all morning I was brainstorming what to make for lunch. I wanted something flavorful [...] -
I have a friend who patiently cleaned, peeled and cubed a fresh pumpkin and then selflessly gave me some. Scratch that, a TON! I would have never even thought of doing something like that! But now that I have it in my fridge the ideas are flowing. First, I roasted some [...] -
CHRISTMAS COOKIES! YAY! Sorry. I'm so excited! Little Guy and I had tons of fun making and decorating cookies today. It may just be my favorite part of the holiday season. I loved it when I was a kid and now I get to do it with my own kids. [...] -
This may be my simplest idea yet, but it was so tasty and satisfying I had to share. Plus you guys know I'm a Laughing Cow Community Leader so I'm all about sharing fun ways to use their products. You guys may also know how I feel about pausing and making [...] -
I made this on Thursday. THURSDAY! I hate when I can't post something I've eaten within 24 hours. It just bugs me. Not sure why, it really doesn't matter when I post it, does it? Anyway, I did whip this up to cure a pizza craving and I couldn't be happier. [...] -
It's been awhile since I jazzed up a tilapia fillet. I've breaded them before, coated them in oats, flavored them like one of my favorite drinks and topped them with a fun salsa. It was time to bring nuts into the party. You are going to think I'm crazy but I've [...] -
Fun leftover turkey idea #2! Click here for leftover turkey idea #1. I had a little Gouda leftover from this years Harvest Salad and decided to put all the same flavors from the salad into a quesadilla. I just can't get enough of the smokey gouda/sweet craisin combo. It goes [...] -
It's the day after Thanksgiving and my refrigerator ROCKS! I have leftover turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted Brussels Sprouts, a bunch of veggies and tons of miscellaneous fun stuff. I've already made stock from the bones (like this) and my first batch of soup, Classic Turkey Noodle. I hope to share [...] -
I'm so sorry I've been slacking in the Thanksgiving recipe department. I feel like a bad food blogger. Everyone else is posting festive ideas and here I've gone missing for a few days. Maybe it's because I'm not doing anything special for Turkey day. I finally got my holiday cooking [...]

I did the same thing Roni. I went to a meeting last night (with only 4 other members). It feels good to get back on the wagon because I want to not because of a New Years resolution.
This is exactly what I needed to read this morning (before shoving yet another sugar cookie in my mouth…wouldn’t want to waste!). I’m back on the wagon with ya as of now. Happy New Year!
How funny, I totally made that decision this morning – hmmm, am I going to live it up until New Years or knock it off right now? It was already becoming kind of normal again to be out of control so I went grocery shopping and stocked the house with stuff. Good Luck to you Roni and to all of us!!
I did exactly the same thing way too much stuff over christmas actually it wasn’t a great december however yesterday i journaled, stayed op, walked for 60 mins and drank my water and boy do i feel much better. We can all definitely do it ;)
I’m with you!
My back on track day is today! Why wait right? Do we want to feel bloated and gross in our New Year’s outfit? Nope. Not me! I had a great Holiday but today isn’t a Holiday and neither is tomorrow or Saturday or Sunday for that matter? So don’t treat it like one. We had our fun, now it’s back to business!
Luckily I had to work yesterday (the 26th), so I was able to get right back on my routine. I even worked out last night, and it feels SO good! I left all of the leftover cookies, candy, etc at mom’s house, so I’m starting with a clean slate. Starting on Jan 1 is too cliched anyway :) Good luck everyone!
I’m totally on the wagon! I rejoined WW last week, and I lost 1.4 lbs the first week, which isn’t great, but, considering it was Christmas…
To be honest, New Year’s is going to be more of a challenge for me. But I’m on the wagon now and loving it!
yeah, I was with you, right back on track as of the 26th, I don’t have huge new years plans (either eve or day), so I should be OP those days. No reason to let one bad day turn into a bad week and into a bad month.
Ug, back on the wagon.
After nearly 2 weeks of lazy tracking and then one full week of no tracing at all and horrible eating/little to no exercise, I managed to get by with only gaining half a pound. Though, I don’t dare risk it anymore. Plus, I feel bloated and sick from all the candy and carbs I have been mindlessly eating. My body is revolting and I need to start listening. So it’s back to tracking and back to running 4 days a week. Back to normal sized portions and healthy snacks.
One thing that makes getting back on the wagon hard for me is that I swear my stomach has stretched from all the over eating and as a result I get hungry more often and normal portions are less filling. It takes me a good 2 weeks to get past that feeling. Maybe its all in my head ;)
Best of luck to everyone. I never realized how hard it is to stay on track this time of year!
-Holly
Holly – my friend who I am doing WW with and I are totally in line with you. We are so hungry today it is ridiculous so it is not in your head. I think that the carbs and extra sugar really play with insulin levels which affects hunger. So it is real. It will get better!
Thanks Roni and everyone. I tried so hard to journal but failed…I have moved on…promise. Thanks everyone for sharing. It feels good to know I am not alone.
Take care.
Great job by being strong and getting back on track! I actually laughed out loud with your “F” it. I’m usually like that too, i think so ….I’ve already screwwed up here, why not do in-n-out and make myself sick!
Being an ex-ww’er, I’ve decided to go back to the meetings and the point logging! You are great inspiration for me to want to get back on the program!
A few days ago, I read a post on a message board that compared losing weight to going to rehab. Well, if weight loss is like rehab, the 26th must have been detox day for me. I didn’t really like the fact that I had to go back to work, but I think it helped me get back into my routine. I packed my meals and snacks, and I set aside specific times to eat. At the end of the day, I think it worked. When I feel myself falling off the wagon, I just get strict with myself.
One of my stocking stuffers was a one-pound bag of M&Ms. I am planning to open the bag, but I’m going to make 100-calorie packs and set them aside for my daily chocolate fix.
I totally do the same thing! I also know firsthand how that “a platter of bad desserts down…screw the rest of the days” can be. I am in it now!
But I am sure one day back on track and you will remember how great it feels. Happy resolutions!
Yes, we are ALL with on this one. I gained a good 4 pounds in two weeks and now I have to work my hiney off (literally) to get them to go away….4 pounds isn’t a big deal, but I was SOOO close to my goal….I’m glad the holidays are just about over so I can stay focused and work hard to see great results…goodness, it’s already time to work on that bikini body…not that I’ve ever owned one, but I’m hoping to this year!!! You’re doing a fantastic job!!!
Great attitude. You went you ate you thought about it and now you’re getting over it. I’m glad to say that I did not over eat this holiday but I have not moved much either so I’m equally as guilty.
I have no doubt that you will jump right back on that wagon BEFORE teh sun and moon align ;) and you’ll do great as always. You always do and this just proves that it is aalways a struggle no matter how long ago you reached goal and you’re human just like us. Sorry but I kinda like knowing that even though you seem like super woman your human just like me :).
I hope those cookies and candy were good!
