Under 260 for the first time in over a year and weighing less than I did last Christmas.
For the holidays, I need to have a plan to avoid overconsumption. The next three days are going to be a challenge. I have a couple of parties tomorrow and Sunday, so I won't be able to stick to my meal plans 100%.
My plan:
Eat a slightly bigger breakfast from the old 2400/2500 calorie a day meal plan (4 eggs instead of 3, 45 g of cheese instead of 30, 10 g butter instead of 5).
Stick to a medium (190 g) apple and 2.3 ounces of almonds for a midday meal.
Have three free meals on each of the next three days (Friday/Saturday/Sunday). For these meals, keep in mind a recommendation I read for buffet/holiday meals: Don't feel the need to eat or even try everything; look over the offerings, pick two or three things you really like, and have some of those in portion size that fits the type of food. This guide had you use your hands or fingers to estimate various sizes.
I'll check back in Monday morning, then get back to my meal plan. Actual Christmas weekend should not be such a challenge, because most of the social functions are the week before.
