Holiday eating, and I was good

I made it through Thanksgiving unscathed, which was the first accomplishment in Operation 40. Then came the Christmas season, with the lure of all the goodies and food.

Going without egg nog for the first time wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. I may have missed it, but it was good I didn't have any.

Steering clear of candy and baked goods wasn't difficult, either. In fact, there wasn't much around so there was little temptation.

Holiday food on vacation was a little different, but I maintained small portions and still was able to eat salads, chicken sandwiches and the like. My heaviest meals included turkey on Christmas, though meats aren't the enemy of Operation 40, and some Krystal burgers and Baked Lays. I know what you are thinking, and it wasn't that bad as I only had three mini burgers.

The holidays came and went and with the weigh-in upon returning home awaited.
