I bought some low fat bread and roast beef along with some swiss cheese and lettuce and am going to be making sandwiches, in which I will then cut into little triangles and stick a party favor knife pick in the center of each one to make it look cute :)
I will be limiting my portions, and drinking lots of water (as usual). Also I notice I look so much better when I am well hydrated.
I will not be denying myself any special holiday drinks, although I will not give in to refills! :)
I won't deny myself anything this holiday, the important thing is just to remember portion control.
So, what's your holiday plan?

Kudos on the weight loss!
To answer your question, my eating/exercise plan for the holidays was to (1) eat what I wanted in moderation, to feel satified but also avoid feeling guilty! (2) run 3 times a week.
Since for most people, it's unrealistic to expect to lose weight during one of the biggest "food holidays" of the year, I decided to instead try to minimize the damage by eating sweets & treats in moderation, while keeping up the exercise. This way, if I did gain weight, it'd be minimal "damage" -- i.e., 1/2 a pound instead of 5 lbs! ;-)
So far my plan is working quite well! (We celebrated the holidays early with my fiance's family this year, so I'm mostly finished with my holiday eating & can now get back to focusing on fitness & reducing my overall body fat percentage.
I'm a big believer in moderation in one's diet & in one's exercise. On that note, you might like my two health-related blogs:
