    Non-scale victory (NSV) for the week: Eating only pre-packed meals instead of eating out. Enjoying two small cupcakes at a celebration instead of going crazy, and still having a calorie deficit for the day. Taking the stairs at every opportunity, instead of the elevator which is closer and more convenient.

    Okay, I can always use the motivation. Looking at the holidays differently now. If I meet my goal by losing each week, this is my plan. Day after Thanksgiving weigh-in...Buy me a little something on Black Friday (I really want a walking stick!) Yes! Christmas Day weigh-in...Go to the movies that weekend (might have to sneak in healthy snacks...shhhhh!). Yes! New Year's Day weigh-in...(Buy me a good pair of trail boots and start hiking. Yes!...Hopefully it will be too cold for snakes, spiders, bears and mtn. lions...Oh my! Believe it or not...spiders are my biggest fear!)

    Good morning everyone! Get those weights in today! It's Week 1. I know turkey day is coming and it is difficult for those who are trying to change their life style. Focus on making great healthy choices all week. When T-Day come continue to make wise choices. Have what you want but have portion sizes. Everything is good in moderation. Maybe even get an extra work out in the day before or after!

    I accidentally fit into my Mother in law's bra....

    (Just to explain that a bit, she is in great shape and when she came to visit last year, I guess she left her bra here and it ended up in my drawer. Put it on this morning , only to realize after a minute...."hey! That's not mine!" I don't regularly go around trying on random underwear ;))

    Just hop in the discussion with your challenge set up and come back each week to report in. I usually quote my previous post and remove the quote brackets, edit as needed and, bam, new post with updated info. Good luck!
