Twenty Five Days of Not Falling Completely Off The Wagon

lemons

After a week during which I felt like I might throw up of overeating at the end of three different days, it dawned at me that the calendar is flipping to December and then to 2015 and I don’t want to start the New Year feeling like I’ve eaten my way into a new pant size  Normally, a little holiday weight gain wouldn’t be a disaster, but after the last few weeks, I’m already feeling like I’m at the top end of my big jeans, and that’s not a super comfy place to be!

Just a month ago, a friend commented that I’d lost weight (which I had, but just a few), but I’m sure I’ve gained it all back already thanks to the pie/caramels/mashed potatoes/etc.

As an aside, did you know that you can totally put 3 sticks of butter and 2 bricks of cream cheese in your Thanksgiving mashed potatoes and it won’t be too much?  It will, in fact, be quite delicious!

Anyway, I thought there might be a few others of you out there and wondered if anyone would be interested in a Facebook group for accountability and encouragement between now and Christmas.  Here’s what I was thinking:

1.  You pick your eating strategy.  You don’t have to be paleo/sugar-free/whole foods/South Beach/Weight Watchers/cabbage soup/etc. to join.
2.  You pick your activity strategy.  P90X every day, a walk four days a week, chair yoga twice a month, it’s all fine.
3.  Three and a half weeks.
4.  Try not to fall completely off the wagon.
5.  Encourage, encourage, encourage.  Grace, grace, grace.

Any takers?  I just set up the group tonight so it’s fresh and shiny new, and if you want to join, you can leave a comment here or message me over there to ask to join. You can find me here.

I’m not a fitness, nutrition, or weight loss expert.  I’m not a salesperson for any of the fitness programs or nutritional drinks.  I just want to get to Christmas without eating ALL THE FOOD (while I sit on the couch and watch Christmas movies).

Anyone with me?  🙂

  1. I’m with you!

    I somehow, magically, gained 15 pounds this year. And I’m determined not to gain any more!
