You're welcome--here we go, November and December!!!2 -
I'm trying to have a focused November so I can feel better about a few relaxed higher calorie day in December guilt-free.
Learning in maintenance that weight can go up a bit if I'm prepared make the adjustments to go down.
I had higher calories in October due to the end of marathon training carb-loading and post-marathon runger.
Now I'm doing a little tweaking to come back to the middle of my goal weight range.

Success/struggles: feeling good and back to the gym! Getting the personal trainer to get started was the best thing I could have done ( thanks again for that amazing advice!). I’m on my own now and feeling confident enough to mix up some of the plans she had me doing and feeling accomplished when I walk out of there.

Successes/struggles of the week: I moved house on October 22nd. I realized the day I moved in that the fridge that came with the house didn’t work. That was a complete surprise as the fridge was working during my first walk through and during the home inspection, too. Such is the luck of it.
Without a fridge/freezer though, I’ve been suffering without a meal prep routine to keep me on track. Too much easy access to good food in Philadelphia! Fridge should be delivered today. I am looking forward to being able to establish a routine again.
Next week I will be in Spain on vacation with my sister, so I guess the actual routine will start November 15th. Hold me to it, forum friends! November 15th is D-Day! Back to routine 100%.
Have a nice week everyone!10 -

Struggles/successes: Stayed fairly on track this week. Not managed to get to as many yoga classes as I would have liked but work has been completely crazy. Still figuring out if I’m quite where I want to be weight-wise. It’s feeling like quite a lot of work to maintain in this colder weather and I’m technically pretty low by BMI. But also aware that there is my birthday and Christmas coming up and I would rather have a bit of wriggle room! 😉
Have a great week and start to the new month everyone!

Success/Struggles: Still trending down weight-wise even though I'd like to gain back a couple. I'm now averaging around 1800 calories a day due to running plus a lot more NEAT because of extra energy (with a baseline of 1230 to maintain sedentary). I'm already eating back all my exercise calories, so there's an error in my logging somewhere I need to figure out.
Sending positive vibes to everyone for a successful upcoming week!8 -

Happy November! Thank you, Stephen, for starting the thread.
Success / Struggles: Back in range after hovering above for a few months. I think I need to vary my diet more. For some reason, I'm wanting to eat junkier foods than usual lately. I'm finding healthy food a little off-putting. I actually lost my appetite and got nauseous after making myself a kale salad last week (a no, I'm not pregnant:). I just think I've grown tired of eating the same foods, day-in / day-out. Time for some new recipes!7 -

Success/Struggles: I uploaded my info from January-June into the Health App so my monthly averages are accurate now rather than estimates. Regardless, it's clear I'm on a downward trend again when I'm trying to slowly gain a bit
I changed my exercise routine and thought I was accounting for things ok but I'm going to try upping my calories a bit. This weekend we are going to see Hamilton and taking the following day off so there will be some going out to eat with that which will likely bump things up a bit

Plus my toddler got lots from trick or treating and I've been helping him eat it lol. Plus last week we had 3 days where someone brought in donuts or something like that at work. So I haven't been doing so good. Need to get back on track.5 -

You KNOW you aren't alone. I think there's plenty of us with little mini challenges that pop up. You'll see mine when I post tomorrow. I am curious what my average will be; certainly more than last week and the week before.
