    I've started doing Chalean Extreme. It had a little segment that had sumo jacks or something like that in it, hope that counts. Don't know how many that I did through.

    If I did about a million jumping-jacks in a workout I did on Monday, does that excuse me from missing a couple of days??

    Hello everyone!

    I'm on your team, my name is Katie. I was on vacation up until now so sorry for the late joining. I have a bit of work to do since getting back from vacation and am having a bit of a rough time getting restarted (darn you, cinnamon bun...).

    My plans include a soft start date of now but a firm start date of Dec 1. Before Dec. 1 I intend on joining a gym that is on my bus route home. I also am going to try to make more freezer meals to make eating easier. And cut out the morning doughnut/cinnamon bun habit that I developed while on vacation.

    Exercise is another thing I need to work on really hard. I never, ever feel like doing it. I don't even give excuses, I simply go "nah". But hopefully I will change that with the gym membership (weights and some running) and dancing using a new Xbox.

    After my vacation, I'm at my highest recorded weight since I started losing weight (in other words, I'm now starting to gain it back and I don't want to!). Some how, that isn't sinking in though. Christmas is around the corner and it feels discouraging. I know it can be done. People do it all the time, lose weight over December. But I don't know how. The numbers of calories motivates me, and as soon as I have to guess what calories are for foods prepared by others I'm always thinking "Ok, but I could be super wrong about this. I might be able to eat more, or I could be eating too much". And I find that very frustrating and tend to fall off track as soon as that's my mindset.

    How do you guys deal with having to full blown guess/estimate calories when you really don't know and don't even know if you're close? Always taking the highest amount you find in the database seems unreasonable, but it's what I do and I don't think it works that well for me.

    Anyway, I am here for the rest of the challenge and I hope we work hard together!

    Also, happy Thanksgiving to the Americans here!
