I made it! I waited a few days before posting just to make sure it would stick. I thought the 150s would be magical for me - that i would suddenly no longer feel fat, but that hasn’t happened. I’d love to get a few (or even a couple) more pounds off before Christmas.

I made it through two Christmas parties this week. One was a cocktail party where I had one Swedish meatball and one mini hot dog (sans roll). I did have three large glasses of wine and boy did I feel them the next day! I still felt hungover by the time of the next day’s party so even though i felt socially awkward, I abstained from alcohol. It wasn’t too bad. I may try that again.

Thanks bluesinger for the cheer and kind words. I appreciate them!

We are in the final stretch. I was hoping to do better, but can't say that I am unhappy with just holding fast this time of year. Today at work I was offered some Christmas treats by one of our accounting clerks. I kindly declined the offer. She should know better by now. One of the accountants bought sub sandwiches for everyone involved in an inventory project (which included me). He knew I would say no, but he had to ask me just to be fair. He offered to get me a salad instead. I declined that, too. I know that there are many here where I work that think that I am a bit of a scrooge this time of year. I'm sure that some think I should lighten up some and enjoy the holiday festivities. None of them ever wore size 56 pants. Well, that's not exactly true. One of them was wearing that size when I started this WOE 4 years ago. He is still wearing that size (if not a little bigger). I'm not.

One day at a time, one meal every single choice, every time...won't make my goal, but I am so proud to be starting the new year 50 lbs lighter....the rest should fall into place.

Well, yesterday I had my long planned (since September) cheat of my favorite flavor of ice cream from the Penn State Creamery. 17 carbs in a half cup serving. A funny thing happened - I couldn’t finish my tiny half cup serving! Not sure why. Then I got a headache and some heartburn. Fortunately, no cravings today and my weight was unaffected.

Congratulations Robyn on 50 pounds lost in 2017! That is truly awesome.

Congratulations to all who have managed to maintain during this Season of Eating Carbs. Extra kudos to those who are still losing. Should we keep this going somewhere? Keeps me honest.

I just weighed myself. I’m a bit of an obsessive weigher and typically I’ll be down 1.2 to 1.8 pounds in the morning after a 10 pm weigh in. That’ll put me in the 156/157 range and since I won’t be able to post tomorrow I’m calling it now at 157. That puts me down 30 pounds exactly for the year.

Holiday recap:

Completely on plan through Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Christmas was another story. I had told myself I would take off between Christmas and new year’s and allow myself some off plan eating. Christmas Day after dinner, I had 4 squares of a Cadbury bar (~10 carbs) and a slice of cheesecake, no crust (~30 carbs?). I was fine the next day and so decided to indulge in more Cadbury and some cookies for breakfast. This time, I got a headache and some heartburn almost right away. By the afternoon I had recommitted myself to low carb, but was left with a carb hangover that lasted two days.

And so here I am ready to start the new year. I Have a busy week coming up getting the big kids back to college or wherever it is they’re going this semester. Beginning Monday, January 7, I’ll be back in a routine and I plan on kicking the exercise into high gear.

Happy, Healthy 2018 my fellow low carbers!

HAPPY 2018 EVERYBODY! How many of us are still around and workin' this WOE? Unlike last year I made it through this challenge with no cheat foods. I didn't even do alcohol on New Year's Eve (which was a problem for me and my WOE 2 years ago). I didn't lose much weight, but I'm happy that the weight creep I experienced over the first 9 months of 2017 came to an end. Two pounds in the right direction is still two pounds. Now that we are in "diet season" I am determined to do some more losing.

My youngest daughter likes to bake cookies for her friends at college. This year it was gingerbread cookies. Last year it was chocolate chip cookies. She made some for her friends and put the rest in a bag for the rest of the family. Well, most of us anyway. She made it clear who the cookies were not for.


Cute note, but I was not even tempted. I don't eat cookies PERIOD.

Thanks for participating. I wish you all the best in reaching your goals.
