Sarah over at Low Stress Weight Loss is hosting another "No Gain Holidays Pledge Group" for this holiday season and I have joined up! She and I are both hoping to not only not gain - but to lose during the next 7 weeks of merry making.
My Goals
1.) I have already determined that I am going to minimize my usual Christmas cookie baking frenzy. I am going to make some biscotti to give as gifts and make only a couple of
single recipes for my family at home. (When I am being honest - my daughter and I are the ones who eat most of the cookies and the ones who need them the least! No gingerbread this year...)
2.) I am going to forgo treats at events I attend. So far that will be a work party and my family gatherings and they understand and support my efforts. My allowed treat will be the cocktails I will drink with my family. Usually champagne!
3.) I will increase my gym attendance and start taking some classes.
The info is on
Sarah's blog. Basic rules :
No Gain Holidays is a commitment to yourself to hold the line on your weight from before Thanksgiving until after New Year’s Eve.
Runs 7 weeks (November 22nd – January 3rd)
You can join anytime
This is self-reported : you can post your weight or your weight loss or keep it totally to yourself. Your pants will know even if we don’t.
Join by linking up your blog (or leave a comment) on Sarah's blog!
Come on - join up we will feel so good in January when everyone else is trying to get the holiday weight off and we are ahead of the game!
My weigh in at the gym on Sunday shows I am remaining steady at my 2 pounds a week weight loss. The next two weeks will be critical because I am going to do some baking. As I mentioned before, I am going to be making some biscotti to send to friends. I am also going to share that recipe on Cammy's Potluck. It is such a cute idea - we all share our recipes in a post on our own site which is linked in to her potluck page!
