    Exercise Goal: 17/24

    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.

    @Laughter_Girl I did count half of my cleaning time because it was the move stuff to make room kind of cleaning...I don't count laundry and dishes and those kinds of thingsas those are daily activity for me.

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!!

    Celebrating our Thanksgiving on Sunday so I'm green today.

    40 minutes on the treadmill and Merry Core-mas.

    @Laughter_Girl, I've done the Merry Core-mas exercises in my dress clothes before. If I changed or even sweated a little, I'd count the time, lol..

    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. :D 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. :D

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

    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?

    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. :D

    11/28 - red - 25/25
    Streak: 0 .2/2 complete this month
    Exercise: Yes - I walked miles doing my dad's Christmas shopping. He's done, which is good. I have started and feel good about what else I need to do to finish.

    I feel as if I am getting a cold, so I don't even feel bad about being red yesterday. Gotta fuel my immune system. I'm back on OT and this morning, I drank my coffee but I haven't felt like eating anything. Ugh...i always get sick during Advent. Stupid evergreen allergy.

    3 mile run outside. Not pretty and very slow but I did it.

    Thanksgiving celebration today. I'll eat what I want and won't eat what I don't want. Calling it red early.

    Lots of shopping going on. Need to pull everything out when the kids aren't around and figure what exactly I bought people!

    Streak 1
    Exercise - I moved furniture and boxes putting up the Christmas tree so I counted it. I broke a sweat, but I don't trust the calories burned so I only counted half of the time. I also got everything my dad bought my kids wrapped and what I have bought is wrapped. 14/15

    I think hiking from TN to PA would get the calorie burn going....i didn't count the wrapping as exercise, even though there was some wrestling the dog away from the paper.

    Exercise Goal: 20/24

    Okay, I'm officially back on track. I didn't as healthy as I would have liked, but it was a much better day, and I was able to keep it a green one. Plus, I exercised two days in a row. I'm getting my stride back now. Woohoo!!

    I see folks have been busy shopping and wrapping gifts. Sounds productive. I did some shopping too, but there was no need to wrap anything. The majority of what I bought was for me. Ha! My husband was blessed to get a couple of things (mainly out of guilt) out the deal.

    Lets see what December has in store for us.

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins - I would love to see you hiking here from TN for my gift wrapping! I can see you on the Appalachian trail w/a bag of gift wrap- LOL!!!!

    @Laughter_Girl , I fully endorse shopping for yourself. Go for it!
