I think I am coming down with a cold. I spent the day in bed yesterday. Then I got to work today and found out that J. quit on Friday afternoon and I will definitely be on OT until the end of the year.0 -

Is it bad that I'm typing this while eating these fabulous little double chocolate snowball cookies I made? I'm leaving powdered sugar prints all over my keyboard at work... hehe. I'm hoping one of the kids eats the rest up before I get home.
@Laughter_Girl - how much snow did you get? I'm in PA and it's snowed some places. I've seen a few flakes (the precipitation variety) already. That's crazy! As far as winter running, I know what you mean by those things you strap on your shoes... I can't recall the name, but they are helpful when it's slippery. I've had them for walking. I think you need to make sure you've got shoes that are a little more water resistant (like stuff made for trails I imagine) to keep yourself dry. Check out the runners world website, and their forum. There's probably a lot of posts w/other suggestions for winter running.
@jenthibert my foot still hurts, darn it! I'm finally breaking down and going to see someone about it. Probably should have before but I didn't want to hear "don't do the race." But now I feel like I've rested, iced, medicated and it's still there. I don't want to end up worse off, or using it as an excuse to say eat more of those snowball cookies!0 -
@Laughter_Girl - Yaktrax! Those are the shoe things!!0

Green today? No 21/25
Streak: 0 day
Exercise today? No 15/25
Rest day except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Not sure if I'm over in calories or not so I'll say red.
@bbinoa and @Laughter_Girl, I think I have some yak Trax tucked away. They were a gift from my brother in law who is a supervisor for ups. Their drivers use them so they come highly recommended. I wonder how they are to run in. I'm going to have to dig them out. Snowed here today!
@bbinoa, definitely time to get the foot checked. Seems like you've given it time enough to heal. I'd have done exactly what you did. Didn't want anyone telling me what I couldn't do after all that training.0 -

Goal: 21/25
Exercise: No & Yes
Exercise Goal: 17/24
Well, I'm not going to make my exercise goal. Dang it! I'll be one day short if I don't miss another day. If I hadn't been so lazy yesterday I could have done it. I wish I could be like those that actually count the calories from cleaning because that's what I did, but I never feel as though it's an "official" workout. Oh well, maybe next month.
@jenthibert & @bbinoa I hope both of you are feeling 100% soon!

@Laughter_Girl, I won't hit my exercise goal either. If I counted my days that I only do the Merry Core-mas exercises maybe, but that's 10 minutes or less and it doesn't get my heart rate up. I'm with ya!0

No exercise except for Merry Core-mas exercises. Feeling better tonight but it was a rough day. Plus side is a lack of appetite so I haven't really missed my exercise calories.0 -

I was busy again with shopping, cooking, and cleaning. So, another day of no exercise. I'll be sure to get a nice burn tomorrow.
@jenthibert I would TOTALLY count those 10 minute Merry Core-mas exercises.
Some days, I only do 10 minutes or so anyway, but a workout is a workout in my book. If I have to change my clothes and shoes to do it, than I count it every time. Ha! Also, I hope you get your appetite back for tomorrow if you're celebrating Thanksgiving.

Green: Hecks No & Yes
Goal: 23/25
Exercise: Yes & Yes
Exercise Goal: 18/24
Yesterday, I did a circuit training workout (planned to run but it was raining), and today I did a walking video (still raining). Since Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, I had no intentions on it being a "green" day. Today, however, it was green. My stomach was still partly full from yesterday's meals.
@jenthibert Doing your Merry Core-mas in your dress clothes is hilarious to me. Ha, ha, ha, ha. I guess I wouldn't count that either.
Even though you're celebrating Thanksgiving on Sunday, I hope you were able to relax a little yesterday.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Glad you had a peaceful Thanksgiving. It can often be a challenge adjusting to a change like losing Memaw and starting a new tradition, but it sounds like you adjusted well. Hope you have a wonderful day! Also, if I was moving some stuff while cleaning, I might would count. I would have to put on my HRM though to ensure I'm burning enough calories to count it. I may have to try that one day just to see how many calories I actually do burn while cleaning. Once I do that experiment, I'll share my findings.

60 minutes on the treadmill today since the cold air hurts my chest still.

11/28
I logged and it was green! Woohoo! Haha! Hope you all had a great thanksgiving so much going on with everyone, dressed up merry coremas exercises (love that). Sounds like everyone had a great holiday (or will, if you're celebrating tomorrow! )
I've eaten like it's going out of style, and not just Thanksgiving either. My well meaning hubby brought home ice cream which is my kryptonite. Plus there were a few "lets grab a quick meal while we're out" fast food stops. I feel like a very stuffed sloth. So, it looks like I need to do some tracking and get back on track! I'm still trying to work around whatever is going on w my foot too (appt 12/7 to get it checked. ) I'll be figuring out my December goals and back! Maybe a pre new years resolution?0 -

Goal: 24/25
Exercise: No
Exercise Goal: 18/24
I just didn't get around to exercising today. Because the sun is setting earlier now, it's really interfering with my Saturday walks. I hope to get back on track fully tomorrow. I've been an eating sista, but it's time to stop.
@MelissaPhippsFeagins Congrats on reaching your goal!! I have two more days to try and reach mine. I'm aiming for tomorrow.
@jenthibert Great treadmill burn today. Enjoy your Thanksgiving tomorrow!
@bbinoa Congrats on being green!!! I hope that ice cream was delicious. I actually wish I had some right now.
