How did you fare over the holidays?

If you celebrated any, that is...

I managed to keep my chocolate consumption down to one hershey's kiss.
It was the coconut cream pie my MIL brought over for dessert that got me.

Oh, and dinner out on Friday, lunch and dinner out on Saturday, blah,
blah, blah. I didn't get out and run as I had hoped because of the
crappy weather and our house remodel (we finished laying an oak hardwood
floor in what will be my kitchen), but I did 30 pushups and 50
body-weight squats just to prove to my teenagers that I could...

The kid was with her bio-fam for the holidays and DH and I were felled by a
nasty respiratory virus. I still made a ham (bone-in real one not the canned
stuff) but there was only veggies as sides and though strawberries were the
planned dessert, neither of us were up to it. After trimming as much fat as
possible, the leftover ham was still a fair amount for sandwiches for DH the
next 2 weeks (froze some).

No candy. DD's basket has a stuffed bunny and some chocolate scented bath
products and an iTunes card.

The girls got kisses and a target card--my oldest is off to Disneyworld
this week to perform with her high school band/chorus, so most of our
energies (and money) have been channelled into getting her ready to go.

Dinner was ham, yams, broccoli salad, and "grandma's salad," a
concoction of mayo, cream cheese, cream, jello, confectioners sugar, and
colorful mini-marshmallows. I call it "fat salad," but it's an Easter
tradition in DH's family. A spoonful won't kill you, but it might send
you into sugar-shock. Oh, and my MIL's pies. mmmm. pie.

I was a diet fascist. I would not participate in the family barbeque, and
came over to visit afterwards.

Today, I'm half a pound lower than I was. Small day-to-day weight changes
are meaningless, but it felt good to see the progress after paying a high
price to keep my diet on track.

If I had feasted, I would have jumped up 2 or 3 pounds, short term.

I did well. My only dinner out was a Passover meal and I can't eat
matzoh, but went overboard on roasted juicy capon a rather fatty
unsexed eunich of a chicken. I made a cauliflower and mushroom dish
that subs for rice and it was a big hit, especially with me and very
salty. My weght did not change.

We aren't big celebrators. I bought a chocolate egg (Wonka style) for DS
and a chocolate Dale Jr car for DH. DH felt guilty and went out yesterday
morning to get me my only easter indulgence - a single cadberry egg. That
was all I wanted.

As for food concuption - well, not bad there either. I did pancakes and
bacon for breakfast, had two cakes and two bacon. Then we packed up the
bikes and headed out to the mountain bike park for the day. I made up some
*ham* sandwhiches so as we stopped to eat our lunch later in the day, I
jokes about this being our easter dinner.

Dinner was a home made chicken quesadilla on a wheat tortilla.

All in all, it was a good day. Probably close to 1500 cals consumption
paired with 1200 cals burned in biking. (did a 14 mile street ride after
doing 2 hrs of mountain biking).

Can't say we celebrate Easter... but as hubby was off over the
weekend, we've had three days of lovely breakfasts together.

Egg white (plus one Omega-3 egg omelette, with skim mozzarella and
tomato slices. Spinach salad with a bit of red onion, cucumber, green
pepper and carrot, topped with a tablespoon of Annie's Natural Organic
Olive Oil and Vinegar dressing. And half an orange.

I made a big pot of a fairly lean, full of veggies and beans, chili
Saturday, so we've been eating on that for dinner.

Weight was slightly down.

Got out this morning and did a little gardening, i.e. pruned the back
yard roses. Still have all the front ones to do though. But I also
need to get to the gym. Tomorrow may be better for yard work, the wind
is getting VERY GUSTY out!

Bad things I've eaten... 3 Licorice Altoids and a couple protein bars
when I was hungry out shopping yesterday.

Your homemade things sound excellent. Protein bars can be tricky and
so can Larabar which has over 200 calories.

Dang, I'd be inclined to start a different salad tradition, LOL! That
salad might actually make me sick!

Just the sugar from the protein bars I ate yesterday made me feel a
little so-so, LOL!
