**************************************************


Well I'm proud to have my daughter for Christmas and we've had a great holiday so far. We started out yesterday visiting my parents as per tradition and stayed for the entire Christmas Eve.

I got through yesterday without major damage. I had one banana up till Christmas Eve dinner plus I took a 3 mile walk earlier in the day. For the dinner and the entire evening, I had 4 lite beers, 1 hotdog bun-sized meatball sandwich, too many handfuls of mixed nuts (weakness of mine when present) and handful of regular chips and I supremely attacked the relish tray for the bulk of my snacking and 2 bowls of salad. No candies or pastries. My Mom always orders 5 Domino's pizzas to accompany her finger food and light cooking, I kept the fast food streak alive !! while the pizza looked yummy, I just couldn't bring myself to eat it.

Today will be a bit more challenging :( Again, tradition lives on with me cooking a Christmas breakfast only I'm down-scaling it this year to english muffins, ready serve bacon (love the small calorie count on those :)) and home fries. I'm really not a breakfast eater and I'm sure I can get out of this in the 400 cal range - maybe.

Today we have a mid-afternoon Christmas dinner back at my parents house and we'll have to see what transpires there menu-wise, probably roast beef and the fixin's. Mom has gotten away from the traditional Bakala fish bucket-soaked in Marinara sauce for 2 days as our Italian specialty stores have all closed up a decade ago and finding the cod has become next to impossible.

This has been a great Christmas clothes-wise for me :) Everything has been XL (and fit !!) but I will have to return some jeans that were 42's and too big to keep even if a 40 is a bit snug yet - gotta think ahead, right ?? I really love the fleece orange zip up my daughter got me and I can't wait to wear it walking.

Welp, time to get busy in the kitchen and I hope you all have a joyous and warm Christmas !!
 
Great job so far and stay strong T2. Congrats on the clothes, I had a very similar Christmas morning (I can not remember the last time I wore XL's, WOOHOO!).
 
Awww, well it sounds like your doing really well on the 'diet" front, i'm proud of you :D

I'm glad your having a great time :) Hope today is as good as yest!

Thank you Korrie :) I did well today but exceeded some limits, oh well for all intentional purposes, Christmas (food-wise) is over and what's done is done. I feel like I got through the holiday on the good side. I feel no guilt what-so-ever for stretching the belly out a bit with a great dinner ;)

24 hours with my daughter was the best gift a father could have - even better than losing all this weight in fact.

Great job so far and stay strong T2. Congrats on the clothes, I had a very similar Christmas morning (I can not remember the last time I wore XL's, WOOHOO!).

Thx man, what a great feeling eh ?? ;) I'm glad you got the feeling of a job well done !! now it's time for you and I to get on with business waddayathink ??

I hope you had a splendid day with your family.

hey there bro, hope you are having a good X-mas..........enjoy yourself and all your blessings!!!:p

'Blessings' sums it up nicely ;) The last 24 hours were complete bliss.

I hope you enjoyed a fruitful and warm holiday with your loved ones.

:) Merry Christmas Have A Gr8 Day With Your Family!:) Tammy

Thank you Tammy and a late Merry Christmas to you and yours.

You bet, I could not agree more.

I did not let things get too far out of hand, but I absolutely over indulged the past two day. I knew full well that I was going to enjoy myself and eat things and quantities that I normal would not so I was extra focused and did really great up until Christmas eve. No worries though and no regrets, starting tomorrow I am back on track and hitting it hard.

I went to my parents annual Christmas eve party where I saw some of their neighbors that I have not seen since before I started losing weight. There is nothing better for the ego and your motivation than a bunch of people sitting around telling you how great you look, LOL, that never gets old.

Have a good evening T2, get some rest and lets resume the journey first thing tomorrow.
 
Just passing through catching up (back from holiday)

Good to hear you had a great xmas with your daughter :)
 
Sounds like you had an excellent Christmas! Don't you love spending the holidays with the people that mean most to you? I'd take that any day over the presents and food. :D

I'm glad to hear your Christmas was what you wanted. Nice to see your old avvie back.

*blushes* Thank you Felici :eek: I hope to get a diggie cam with my gift certificate soon and make a new av soon. I'm not really up for facing the masses in the stores today :mad: I'd rather get a walk in today than anything :)

I trust you had a splendid holiday also.



Hey T2!! Sounds like your holiday was great! So glad you got that time with your daughter! I agree what more could you want!!!!:) Have a great day!!!:D

Hi Mechelle !! Yes, it was a perfect day having my daughter for a complete day. It just brought so much hope into my life.

No doubt you had an event-filled day eh ?? Set aside all the stress, I'll bet you wouldn't trade yesterday for the world :)
 
You are right. I wouldn't trade yesterday. We had some family, that I haven't seen in 4 yrs! It was so bittersweet. All that time passed, kids grew up and new ones born! My gosh time flys!!:eek:
 
Thank you Sprite :) uh huh Mechelle, time freaks us all out I think View attachment 2161





A two walk day today :) I am the beast from the east. I can hardly wait for 2007 for all the new challenges I have planned :cool: You ain't seen nuttin' yet ;)
 
Hi T2!!! Glad you had a great Christmas!! So happy you spent time with your daughter, and hope she is doing well. So, what's up for 2007???
