That’s great work and good that you have a system which works for you on a physical and practical level. It means that should you enjoy yourself a little and add some holiday weight or whatever you have a clear path to losing it. That I think is often half the battle - where to start and will it work.
I will jump on the scales tomorrow but I imagine I’ve added 3kg over the holiday just by roughly calculating calories!

Ate myself up to 82kg over the course of last Christmas, which is about 3kg over what I would say is probably the upper end of an acceptable weight for me. Really fucking struggled to shed any of it, yo yo-ed between 79 and 84. Eating patterns were still relatively healthy, but I was drinking way too much (with the occasional loss of control over snacking that can result in).
Finally decided to properly commit before heading off on my summer holidays this year, figuring that two weeks in France was going to do nothing for any ambitions to be healthy, and it would be better to put the weight on from a position of relative health than not.
Quit drinking booze, kept the eating under control (roughly 1600 cals a day but not too militant on that, mostly hard on breakfast and lunch calories giving flexibility over dinner), no eating between 7:30pm and 7:30am. Got myself down to 77kg before going on holiday. Carrying on with this now, albeit it have added booze back in at the weekend if I feel like it. Still down at 77kg this morning.
Going to press on, reckon I can get down to 73 / 74kg by the time Christmas rolls around again. Hopefully won't lead to the same level of bloat as last year.
