...and I lost 1 lb. Which is the best feeling.
My fiancé and I traveled between states visiting our respective families from the 23rd to the 1st. During this time, I didn’t have access to a scale. I also didn’t really care to calorie count—I was with family and didn’t have my food scale on me, plus I was eating foods that I don’t normally eat that would have been difficult to calculate, etc. This doesn’t mean that I went buck wild and gave into every single craving that I had, though, for that entire period. But I did eat all of what I wanted on Christmas Eve, day, and NYE at my relative’s parties. We also went out to restaurants 3 or 4 times and I ordered what I wanted there, too.
This isn’t to say my body in particular is somehow magically immune to holiday weight gain. I kind of unintentionally did a lot of fasting during this time, too. I had extremely light breakfasts, often skipped lunch simply because I was too busy doing things with my loved ones, and then I would have a really satisfying dinner where I didn’t even think of the word “calories”. It definitely felt effortless, you know? I really just wasn’t thinking about food or my weight at all. And I was fully prepared to come home weighing 5 or 6 lbs more than I was when I left.
I definitely wasn’t expecting to see progress when I got home, that’s for sure. So I’m really proud of myself. I had great meals, I didn’t burn myself out thinking about “oh that probably has wayyyy too many calories in it...”, I didn’t guilt myself at all. I ate what I wanted, and I balanced it with added time between meals. Time which was well spent making memories and catching up with my favorite humans.
Only 5 more lbs to go until I’m at my goal weight. 2020 is gonna be my year. I hope it’s yours, too!
