I allow myself a calorie up day, and that was yesterday, which reflects on my scale weight this morning. However, if I didn't do an up day I would be less likely to stay with it, now I need to focus on the quality of the calories on an up day. Yesterday was all about the carbs after a very busy weekend. Good luck to everyone on the next week! I did the stairs instead of jumping jacks yesterday and am hoping this may be a part of the challenge that sticks.

I'm doing well, just been incredibly busy, I leave for vacation on the 3rd, and need to have all of my school work done before then, although I will have 4 finals to take when I get back, but I want to have all the rest of it done, So I don't have to worry about it on vaca, and can enjoy my time. I ate worse then I wanted to last night, but didn't go over, so it's okay........ I'm not worried about tomorrow, I am not a big fan of Thanksgiving food, and we won't be hanging out long, because I have to get home and finish a term paper, that is due this evening, but there's no way I can get it done tonight, so I got a one day extension. UGH...... I can not wait until school is over.

Ho there team, Going well here, other than introducing my much missed oats back today and later chia pudding plus my usual benefiber. Net result was my fiber intake was up from 25 to 35 grams BEFORE afternoon. Umm, lets not discuss how the afternoon went. Could be artificially lighter tomorrow! Although I did sleep so maybe lack of motion compensates. On a plus side I am back weight wise to when I was at a minimum a week ago. Just keeping going.

MargaretLunan

way to go team . i also am back to starting weight

i am going to do part of tomorrows challenge now where do i walk. 1 year ago last sept. i became a crossing guard partly to make myself be active. 4 times per day i walk from my house to the light this is about a 15 min. walk each way including one large hill to walk up the two times i walk home. this walk is all on sidewalks and about half a block on the side off the road no sidewalk.this is in a fairly large town. this is getting to and from lights since the challenge runs 3 days will tell you more tomorrow. sorry i do not have a camera to post pictures

Happy Thanksgiving to any of you who celebrate.

took the long way home more than the 500 steps needed for challenge

Great work with the weight loss & extra steps, Marg!

I'm doing pretty well with the extra steps challenge- yesterday I did 8,000 steps, which is pretty good for me (I'm often only at about 3500). This morning I walked to the train station & then paced up and down the platform like a crazy person while waiting for my (very delayed) train. Forgot to take pictures, but you probably don't need to see the grim industrial warehouses & barren car yards that surround my local train station anyhoo.

Have lost 0.6kg (bit over a pound) so far this week, but going to wait til Sunday to weigh in for this challenge in the hopes that I can lose a little more...

day two of where i walk. in the morning when i am at the lights i only cross around 24 kids and a lot of them are families so i am not working any more than about 15 minutes of the hour and half of that is crossing so walking, so about 45 min every day i walk in a small triangle shaped field where the town puts snow in the winter because it is beside the lights. this field only takes me 175 steps to walk the out side of the fielg

MargaretLunan

I've had better weeks. I seem to be struggling with the side challenge. Not feeling to great this week - have a cold. It will pass though!

letngo

Thanks to the challenge the holiday eating was more conscious: portion sizes better controlled, no full-plated seconds, and my weight is up from Monday BUT still 1.3 pounds below my challenge starting weight! I am pleased. A lot of driving today, but going to make a point to walk when I get to my destination AND face the real challenge- posting a picture. Have a great weekend everyone. Thank you for being here.

It's been such a busy week that I've had no time to workout. But I've still managed to keep my diet in check. Going to start exercising again from today. No matter how late it is. Have to wear those skinny jeans.
