Don't eat! I have already been prepping for the coming holidays, unfortunately. I just got on the scale, and after two weeks of not thinking about calories... I gained SEVEN pounds.

You work hard to keep in shape.......take off for a few and you are back to square one. A couple secrets Ive adopted....Buy a good weight scale and use it every day at the same time. And if the sucker goes up even a pound make a change in diet immediately. Its so much easier at that point than when its 10 pounds you have to get off. -------------------------------------------------------- "Life's Journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting..Holy Shit!!

I thought you weren't really eating until the end of the year? Well..anyway, my thoughts on watching the holiday weight is..don't go nuts, but enjoy yourself!. (For me personally, I like to fill up on the turkey and leave the pie for someone else..but that's just me cause I LOVE a holiday turkey meal!) And of course, get the exercise in. (I was able to ride today after fighting off that cold/flu thingy. It was tough but enjoyable.) -------------------------------------------------------- "All human arrogance and ego can be expressed in two words. 'You Should'.

How it >knows what it knows is beyond me..... I hadn't heard of that one. I have a program whose name I can't remember offhand (I never installed it on the laptop). I think it's called Diet Doctor or Diet Diary or something like that. I tracks weight, caloric intake and calories burned during exercise. -------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ldphotography.net/ -------------------------------------------------------- • Previous Topic • Next Topic • Reply to Msg #1235 • Back to Topics

Personally, there is nothing like a full length mirror. But I also have reached the point in my life that I have to accept who I am. I really can't get in more miles on the bike..and I LIKE my lifestyle..so..what you see is what you get.
