I’m up 3 lbs  The price you pay for endless carbs, sugar and wine. Back to normal today.

| I’m refusing to step on the scale until Jan 2. I’m eating healthy today, but not going to obsess. |

| Down 2 pounds surprisingly. My goal this year was not to deprive myself of anything, but only eat an amount that made me really happy. For example, if at a party with tons of hors d'oeuvres and desserts, I would eat 2 or 3 of my holiday favorites and not the ones that I don't love. If I took a piece of pie and it was just blah, I'd quietly slip it in the trash. |

| Up 3.5 pounds in two days! I didn’t even go that overboard. It’s a gift I have. |

| I indulged Christmas Even and Christmas Day so I'm taking it easy today and will resume weigh ins tomorrow. I'm sure I'm retaining water from all the extra carbs/salt and I know the scale would reflect that. Tomorrow will give me a more accurate picture of the damages actually done. |

| I lost weight because I have a nasty sinus infection. I would have taken the weight gain to not feel this miserable. |

| Op here. I ate normally yesterday (meaning I had some protein and drank water and didn’t scarf every single carb in sight) and the scale is down 2 lbs today. I’ll be at my normal weight tomorrow probably. Just a reminder that 2-4 holiday pounds are usually not true fat or weight gain but water retention and food volume. Don’t freak if you’re up a few pounds! |

| Weight stayed the same. I felt no shame in taking a bite and throwing things away (especially the bad cookies my neighbor kids all brought over). I also didn’t miss any workouts, although some were changed from in the gym to 20-30 minutes at home. |

| I’ve been working out more with the time off. So zero. |
