    Happy Sunday! Wow! Week 3 begins and I have another chance to Max out the Fun meter with Dead lift Day! Should be a high torque event.

    Heron - I unnerstan bout the sloppy day yesterday, for me at least even with many sloppy days on the golf course, I never had a bad day on the course. When you're doing what you love, having a sloppy day beats the hell out of the 'not doing it' alternative.

    Jamm On Folks!

    It's week two for me, still being a noob! :smile: Weighed in and up this week but that's due to my wonky scale acting up last week. This week made more sense. I'm down from two weeks ago, so that's awesometastic! Uploading my weekly vlog as I type this.

    Good morning all

    Sunday yoga day followed by back day in the weight room aka deadlifts.

    Didn't do a CarbNite last night. Wasn't feeling it, gonna do tonight. Burying to wrap my head around AJ's notes for me. We have our call on Thursday - both too crazy busy to schedule it sooner. Quite parred back variety if CarbNite - 2200 total calories for CN (total for day) and only 60gr fat in that day. On ULC days she's upping my protein and lowering my fat making them a 1 to 1 ratio at 125gr, which will slightly lower my daily calories. That I have figured out. It's not having a free for all CarbNite that has me perplexed. Not from the "why" perspective, from the "how", what will I eat.

    Didn't make it into work yesterday, so I'm here bright and early this morning. Okay, not really bright... more of a cold, icy, snowy morning. ;)

    Got most of my Christmas shopping done yesterday morning. Eight stores (in eight different locations... no mall where I live) in under 3 hours. Having a list, planning the route, and trying not get distracted worked well for accomplishing that!

    Hope everyone is having a great day!

    SO many illnesses in my house. :(
    Everyone is on the mend. I'm being spared for the moment and I am hoping all the extra water keeps me from falling to Strep, Flu and other things living in my house. Thankfully everyone feels a bit better.

    Hope you guys are having an awesome week!

    Had a good day today. I've not been feeling the greatest lately, both mentally and physically. This time of the year is always difficult for me and this year is no exception. I hope this is the turning point and that things are going to be better for the rest of the holiday season. I know eating better and eventually getting some activity going will help.

    Happy Sunday all!

    John, you are a MACHINE. I think I will laugh at my barbell next time I pick it up. It looks like a toy next to yours.

    Carol, sorry the illnesses are still hanging around. Take care!

    Jen, You are not alone. I have a tough time emotionally around the holidays and fight seasonal depression big time. Here's to those good days and hope for many more!!!

    Gun giveaway??? I am so IN on that!

    Today was eh. Ate pretty good, but not in the mood to exercise. I am going with it and taking it easy tonight. Didn't weigh in. Plan on doing it tomorrow. Sometimes you just know your head is not in the place for seeing the numbers.

    We are almost to the December halfway point. We got this! Wishing everyone a strong ending to the year!!!

    Jeez, is this a weight loss or a gun forum! :wink: Kris, let's show that season depression who's boss! It's crazy that it's halfway through December. Where has the month gone? Where has this YEAR gone?

    LOL! Right? I just checked it out and will do my best, but anticipate some backlash when I post. I have limited friends who are gun owners and usually get some snarky comment when I post anything gun related. haha I will try! Now, if I was posting something about a running shoe giveaway, I would have a chance. I'd rather be armed than take a chance running away!

    Yes, we will show the blues who's BOSS!
