Just got through probably the trickiest few days of holiday treats, and I did okay. Not perfect, but not completely derailed. Now I have a few days to get back on track before Christmas... which won't be as difficult as this last weekend. I'm still on track for winning this DietBet!

- How is everyone doing?
For me, I have a few days to get my party eating under control and regroup. No holiday food plans until Monday, so today I’ll go shopping - for mostly vegetables.
(I’m about 1 1/2 lbs up, but honestly I was expecting worse.)

Well-meaning friends and neighbors are bringing treats. What do you do with the influx of yummy, bad-for-you gift foods?!
(No pics cause why add temptation :-)

Non-Scale Victory: A shirt that I was going to get rid of now fits comfortably!
- Oh my. I’m freaking out a bit because we’re having a party for my husband’s work team tonight and:
1) My house is filling with food/treats
2) He told me one day ago that’s it’s not just a get-together…it’s the team HOLIDAY party! He didn’t see the difference.
3) Social anxiety. (If you’ve known me a while, you might remember this is an issue.)

- To avoid snacking after dinner, I try my best to make myself a cup of tea to get me to bedtime. This is my absolute favorite tea. My friend described it as drinking cinnamon flavored toothpicks (are those even still around??) I get the decaf version on Amazon.

Welcome Monday - Time for Hellos!
Hi Everyone! We've got a (not surprisingly) small, and I think dedicated, group here this month😊 Let's help keep one another focussed and accountable while still enjoying the season. Let's get to know one another a little bit - Or a little more.
Tell us whatever you want to share - Who you are, diet goals, holiday plans, anything! Bonus points for photos :-)
I'll start:
I live in Northern California, where it's been surprisingly cold lately. My diet journey now includes Semaglitide, though the jury is out on how well it's working. I always eat very low carb and exercise so I thought I'd be spared my family's blood sugar issues. But nope. Now I'm fighting insulin resistance, which I guess at least tells me why weight loss has been so hard.Pic.: Part of the weekend art show. There were no treats after all.
- Happy Saturday!
Hopefully this weekend will be diet and health manageable for everyone!
I have a small art reception later which will include some treats (which I plan to not eat), but the real season’s festivities don’t start until next weekend.
What are your plans/challenges?

- One of my weirder RXes is to eat 2 green kiwis a day. But suddenly green kiwis are gone and have been usurped by gold kiwis and red kiwis. Turns out red kiwis are just green ones with pinkish seeds. Now you know :-)
