Enjoy your work lunch! You have the right idea in containing the celebration to a given timeframe. If you’re having a Christmas lunch, keep it a Christmas lunch - don’t turn it into a whole day affair. I see the same thing way too much where a given event ends up being interpreted by others a a license to blow all the good intentions the whole weekend.

I hope I can walk the talk, though! We’ve got a holiday party tomorrow night and I should be fine IF I eat right during the day leading up to the party. I’m running a 5K in the morning and that should help. Wait - it’s the Donut 5K! Donut holes on the course (I think at the mile markers) and then fresh donuts at the finish line. Fortunately I’m not that crazy about donuts and eating sweets that early in the morning (and when sweaty and gross) doesn’t sound appealing to me.

My target weight is 110 and today I’m at 109. My goal is to be at or under 110 on January 1. Realistically, I would be happy if I end up at or below 112 - easy enough to take a couple pounds off once I’m back into the regular routine.

Good luck to all in maintaining the next couple weeks!
