Good evening!
I have been all over the place past couple of days. This weekend I was busy finishing some shopping for nieces and nephews, teachers, husband, decorating cookies, went to see awesome show last night and eat out.
I managed to eat under calories (barely) but my excercise and steps were weak and I def snacked more of crappy food than I should have
There’s 2 more weeks left in old year so hoping to finish strong and get back to good nutritious eating.
Hope everyone is having a good week! Only a week til Christmas:)
Planning on doing my 7-8 mile walk/jog tomorrow if my daughter goes to preschool. She may be getting sick again ugh
Oh and here’s the pic of her cookies she picked all her colors

@kirsten11872. Sounds like you were sick. Sometimes you have to listen to your body and rest. Hope you are feeling better! I am with you! Let’s finish off 2018 kicking some butt!
@cyndiesstuff. Sounds like a great day! Nice job not eating crap at the movies. That is hard to do!
@ljdanny I feel the same way. I would be lost without my Fitbit. I am glad you are getting a new one for Christmas.
@lyssysho26 It’s hard to go to sleep late one night but two nights in a row can really take a toll. Looks like taking a rest day Sunday helped.
@gottagetthisdown. Nice loss!
@mandi5512 Feel better!
@code4food. That is around a 1/2 lb. That’s not bad, especially this time a year!
@lenka1 You have been doing great. It is such a busy time of year. Love the cookies! You are so creative!2 -

Twyla, you're a great stepper! Would you be willing to substitute for ljdanny on the step challenge until she gets her new Fitbit for Christmas?2 -

2.9lb loss!!! I really don’t know how because I’ve not eaten to plan at all! I can’t believe it! I think this is what I’ve needed to motivate me to get back on track. I’m going to log every day this week and hopefully get down to 182 by 31st!!

Day 3 on my string
I was my lowest weight since May this morning! I am so excited that I had two events-my party and the brunch and play, and I didn't screw up my progress. This is new to me. My stomach isn't too good today so not going to the trainer, I would rather stay close to home
I plan to exercise at the same time. Another challenge is coming up tomorrow through Friday. My husband wants to go to the shore for a few days. It depends if I get my wrapping done today. House is already clean. He loves to go out to eat, every meal so I need to be careful. I think I am going to go to the store when he turns the heat up. I am excited to do some shopping down there and see it all decorated. Well, if I want to go, I need to get going! Hope everyone has a great day!
If anyone has a pedometer and can join us in the step challenge-we need you!
@twyla77 I hope your arm is ok. If you could do the step challenge that would be awesome
@Ashleigh1178 Awesome loss!! Great job!!3 -

Wow, what a busy day yesterday. I have my office pretty much put back together. Painters finished up yesterday. We were back to business yesterday. But.... I had all that work to catch up on from the week we were not open to the public. I am caught up. Tonite we are having Vietnamese chicken bowls. I can't wait. I am hungry already!
@ljdanny isn't it crazy how we have become so dependent on our trackers? When mine is charging, I try not to step. lol.... Why? it is so silly. glad you are getting one for Christmas.
@Beka3695 thanks for the info! love that new pic girl!
@Lyssysho26 the holidays can be so exhausting. you hang in there. your a strong lady, you got this.
@gottagetthisdown yayayyaya!! that is almost a pound. great job on your success this week.
@Mandi5512 ohhh nooo your still sick. ughhhh. get better my friend.
@code4food that's just a small gain. don't fret over it. you know how to do this. just pick up and move on.
@lenka1 wow. you are really an artist when it comes to those cookies. they are just to beautiful to eat.
@twyla77 make sure to take care of yourself, especially after an injury. you are doing awesome!!
@Ashleigh1178 doing the happy dance all around the office!! that is amazing. you doing great! look out 170's...
@sleepymom5 lowest since may. that is great! be proud and pat yourself on the back, you really deserve praise. You are a great co-captain. You keep that up!
@bmaison2014 sometimes during the holiday its okay to just eat to maintenance. that way you don't gain. just start back up again when its over. don't you quit on me girl. we need you here.5 -

Well, I did 2 of the 3 things for my Team Pledge yesterday: logged calories and got 10000 steps, but I was over a bit on calories. So I'm going to try again today!

Wasn't too cold yesterday so I snuck out for a longer hike. Weight is up a bit this morning but I've been pushing myself harder physically. Hope that's all it is. Dinners for the week are planned so its nice not to have to figure it out after a busy day.
Wishing everyone a great day!

@phoebe112476 yes! nice loss. you are doing great. you have been working hard and the scale has been being nice to you!
@Shirin_K may spend some time journaling about how important this is to you. It can provide you with some much needed motivation.
@nstephenson01 good job getting that preplanning in. I know it seems like more work but it is ohhh so helpful. takes the guess work out of it!!2 -

Good afternoon and finally checking in - work is beyond busy!
Yesterday was a great day - food, water, steps and yoga! And today is right on track for another successful day.
But not back at it. I'm trying to get ahead on all the stuff I need to get done before the holidays!
Hope everyone is having a successful day!!3 -
Great job everyone!
Daily check in Monday
exercise-Lula Mae and I did a 30 min walk in am
Day 17 of yoga
food-probably too low
water-good
steps-11,168
I woke up yesterday full of energy and enthusiasm. Unfortunately I had less than 6 hours sleep. I did my yoga, my walk and prepped lunches and breakfast for me and Molly. I had taken the "moon muesli" to work with me soaked in pumpkin seed milk with berries. After I ate it my tummy was not too happy. Not sure if it was a bit of a "bug" or a reaction to the richness of the muesli dish. I ended up eating a date for lunch and decided against the raw cabbage fennel salad with pinto beans that I had brought with me. I put my head down on the kitchen table and fell asleep. Was hesitant to eat dinner but...
For dinner I made zoodles mixed with chickpea pasta, fresh pasta sauce with fresh spinach and basil and white cannellini beans. It was the first time in ages that we all sat around the dining room table eating the same meal. It was DELICIOUS! Made special for Skylynn's 9th birthday dinner. Had a really lovely evening celebrating her birthday.
This morning I was so excited to check on my vegan cheese. Moldy. Ughhhh....So disappointing. Will try again this weekend.
My biggest struggle right now seems oddly enough to find a way to eat enough food. My appetite isn't that hearty. I am hoping with the walking this week it will perk back up.
On Saturday I went upstairs to do my yoga. I put on my little yoga pants and camisole. I was shocked at how skinny I looked. Later that day Molly was filming a video of her playing a prank on Skylynn. I was not aware of the running video and walked in front of it several times. Later when Molly showed it to me I was so surprised. I look overweight. It is so strange to see myself in pictures. What I see in the mirror doesn't seem to match up with what I see in photos. I am about 30 pounds overweight so it makes sense to me that I look like I am overweight. But when I see myself in the mirror I look so skinny...I have lost over 35 pounds....so that too makes sense to me why I look so skinny.
All this focus on our weight and food can be so time consuming and overwhelming. I jump off the deep end over and over looking for "my" answers. It's a journey for sure!
On another note...I am so pleased with how flexible I have become with yoga. And strong. Today is 48 days in a row.
Hang in there everyone! A bright new year is awaiting us in just a few short weeks! Everything we are doing now lays the foundation for a very successful and healthy New Year! Don't you just LOVE a fresh start and a new beginning?
But there is still 2 weeks left to make the most of 2018. December is our month to Remember!

@ihp2015 your right! our team rocks! how are you doing?
I'm doing good, Cyndie! Getting ready for some quality time with my hubby during the Christmas break. I've also been working part time as an office manager at the local Carlson Wagonlit Travel office. So nice to have a job to go to, even though it's only part time.
What's not so nice is that my step daughter had a work accident last week and is now at the hospital! She works at a restaurant and she slipped on some frying oil, and then she got burning hot frying oil on her legs, arms and hands. It seems that they're only 2nd burns, but we'll know more on Thursday when we can go visit her at the hospital.4 -

@Lyssysho26 Congrats on your weight loss! Your doing great! How are you feeling? I see that scale in the 220's quickly approaching.
@lenka1 your posts are always so delightful! I love that you are checking up on people and their step counts lol. And your cookies are dazzling!
@cyndiesstuff you are always on the go girl. Not sure how you find the time to captain this team on top of everything else. So glad for all your sweet support!
@sleepymom5 you are doing all the hard work and seeing the results! I am so impressed and really proud of you. It is really ongoing trying to figure out all this stuff out. Your doing it!!!3 -
Hey I’m glad my hard work paid off! It’s sure challenging this time of year. There are so many parties and temptations around!! I’m still working on my portion control and I decided for January my new habit I want to conquer will be drinking enough water!! I was at a party Friday with a group of friends and when it came time for dessert I mentioned how I am trying to set a new goal for each month and that November was “to give up sweets “. Someone said “well it’s not November anymore!” I know she was kidding but I really am trying to make these goals cumulative (if that’s the correct terminology for it!!)5

@lennoncpa your team is very proud of you. We all are learning from each other! Your doing great and very inspiring.1

@ihp2015 sorry to hear about your stepdaughter.
I hate not having a Fitbit, I feel like every move I make doesn't count for anything. I was at my Zumba class tonight and kept looking at my naked wrist in the mirror while I was jumping around. Christmas can't come quick enough. I think I have also been eating a lot of crap over the last week. I have to change that and today I noticed I have not been drinking enough water. I start doing really well with logging and then I stop. I am going to have to focus and make sure I log every day, even if I start small with 5 days so I won't feel so bad if I miss any days.4 -
Logged yes but wasnt under. My sweet tooth got
the best of me today!
Steps 10287
Exercise no still on the mend.
I had my sons class party today and as i said before my sweet tooth got the best of me! This next 2 weeks is going to be hard. I will be happy if i can maintain the next 2 weeks! Lol4 -
Steps good, calories good, exercise good.
My daughter got sick again ugh so she stayed home this morning. We read books for 3h straight and I was so tired after. When I start my days with exercise I don’t ever feel that way. I literally just wanted to lay on a couch all day.
Thankfully my husband came home early and he is done for the year too yay so I went jogging from 330-5pm and got 7 miles in and felt so much better physically and mentally.
Tomorrow is supposed to be a nice day so I want to play tennis. fingers crossed we will find time
@Mandi5512 it’s okay! Just try to stay under some days and enjoy a cookie or two if you want.
The key is to get back to good eating habits once holidays are over. Like right away. You can do this!
@ihp2015 hope your stepdaughter feel much better soon. That is scary
@Mrsbell8well thank you! Well I’m a competitive person and I also like fair play so yes I am checking the steps and also trying my best to help the team:) it’s motivating me to move more. So it’s a win win situation;)
@lennoncpa I feel like sometimes it’s better to just be quiet about work out and eating better. People don’t take it seriously (at least around me) but it’s great you were able to resist and did well! Way to go!
