Twas the week before Christmas

Here it is Christmas quickly approaching. What am I to say, what am I to do?
Lucky for me, I have taken a week's vacation so I can properly get ready for Christmas, but really is it luck? While I am enjoying the time off from work, I am not enjoying the unstructured life I am living.
When it comes to dieting, I need structure, I do exceptionally well while I am work. I know when to have breakfast, when to have lunch, when to work out, etc, etc. Being on vacation means I don't have the structure that I am so used too. I sleep in, I am not eating the way I should be eating.
However, all is not lost here. I am exercising faithfully, I am journaling faithfully, and I am getting all my water in. I am also not going over my daily food allotment.
With all the hustle and bustle of Christmas, the majority of the diet group wanted to cancel the meeting for our group, but did say we could come in for weigh in, which let's face it, isn't that the most important part of the meetings?
We met later than usual so I could go to the gym and workout before getting weighed.
Well, Merry Christmas to me!!! I lost 5 1/2 pounds this week.
My goal was to lose 25 pounds by the end of the year. That is 25 pounds in thirteen weeks!
I made it!!!!!! I have lost 28 1/2 pounds total and I still have one more week to go.
So, I am going to end it for now, Merry Christmas to all!
Until next week I hope to gain nothing but knowledge and lose nothing but weight.
