Wow, Christmas was tough and I faltered a lot.  I ate a few cookies.  Maybe more than a few on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.  My wife made probably 300 cookies of all different types.  It was just too hard for me to resist. 

I did stay away from "normal" carbs like bread and potatoes and the like.  I made sure my straying at least went to the good stuff, and not just meh carbs.

I did weigh in nicely on the Friday before Christmas - 297!  That's my first weigh in under 300 lbs in over 5 years.  I'm going to work hard to get back on the wagon the rest of this week so my Friday weigh in - the last of the year this year, will be at least under 300, and hopefully at 297 or less.  That would be a huge accomplishment given the 2 days of struggle.
