The Day After
Well... Christmas day wasn't too bad. Not like Christmas eve!!! I started out OK.. stuck to NS plan for breakfast and walked 1.2 miles. I ate a NS lunch entree to keep from being too hungry by the time I had my first of 2 Christmas eve dinners. The first was at 3:00. I did pretty well, only ate a very small portion of a few things. Nothing too bad.. some fat free spinach dip kept me from going overboard. I also drank like 5 bottles of water during the time I was at that party... That night is what killed me. My mom made baked potatoes with parsnips, prime rib, rolls and roasted brussel sprouts. I was still full from lunch number 1 that I wasn't even hungry, but it was just TOO good. I couldn't help myself. I was miserable. I only ate a half a piece of prime rib, very very small, but I my stomach felt horrible. Yesterday morning, I was up 2 pounds!!! So Christmas day was better. First we opened presents. My DH got me a new set of professional pots and pans (like we need to cook!) and a pair of princess cut diamond studs that I have been wanting. He also put a new CD player in my truck!! He's good to me. I had a NS breakfast and packed some low fat cheese sticks to take with us. We went to church and then drove over to my aunt's which is about an hour and a half away. They had TONS of food. All good and fattening. I ate what I wanted, but didn't overdo it. My stomach didn't hurt. We ate early, like 1:00 pm and then I didn't eat for the rest of the day. I had some NS pretzels last night to be able to take my medicine. This morning, I was back down 2.4 pounds.
