So's how's everybody doing with the holiday onslaught? [View all]

Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year's.

Yikes!

The never ending opportunities to enjoy party food (read: rich, sugary, buttery, fatty, etc) test even the strongest of wills.

I was doing pretty well. Thanksgiving I was able to maintain. Then came Christmas Eve. We visited both families, two formal dinners.

Lots of handmade goodies later, I'm almost sick. The good news is in about a six week period, I've only gain about 2.5 pounds. I can wipe that out if I get back on my healthy eating habits after New Years. I plan to start juicing again next week and starting a round of HIIT. That course should take me to the middle of February.

Just wanted to check in and vent. So how are you doing?
