Recap M 12/9
1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 10,360 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 39 floors (lots during evening ~ see #4)
2) Eating at my desk today (crummy weather & hubby has appt) / net calories zero / 14c water = Net calories green

, 12c water
3) Complete PA-RM
lots more detail to review than I realized & submit for review / discuss BK request for participation in meeting LC to send Ted; I may need to keep reminding her / catch up Inbox (again) 
keeping even
4) Evening: Advent devotional / decorate finally starting to look like Christmas inside the house / put away clean dishes / make apple crisp no time/ other? decluttered & dusted as I decorated, took all clean laundry upstairs & put away. Drizzle finally changed over to snow late afternoon & challenging drive home from work but took it slow & no incidents. Didn't shovel inch or two of snow since it ended later & I was tired out from decorating, plus hubby said he would when he got home from work. 
5) Unplug 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv off 10:20 
11:00 but at least I was able to fall asleep right away (think my meds were causing me to stay awake previous nights)

My replacement Fitbit is working but doesn't seem to hold a charge for as long as the old one. New one was in package for year+. A bother to recharge so frequently, hoping that resolves itself as I continue to use it.2 -
Just checked my calories so far for today. It's 11:30 and already at 1200.4

WFTY: Climbing. I haven't decided if I'm going to run today. It's supposedly rainy and cold back at the house, so we'll see. I didn't bring my gear to run inside at school today because I have a book on hold at the library and if I don't pick it up today I may not have another chance until it gets sent back to the library that shipped it to mine! So it may be yoga inside. I can definitely benefit from the balance practice!3 -

I am so far behind!
@Faebert - so happy to read that your surgery went well. It will be hard for you to battle the boredom of recovery but hopefully it’s a fast one for you.
@mytime6630 - congratulations on the win! You’ve worked hard for it and truly deserve it!
So much more I wanted to comment on, but really don’t have time right now.
My craft Sale this past weekend was not very impressive. Our economy is terrible, a news report on the weekend claimed that 71000 jobs were lost in Canada in November. On top of that the government jobs in Alberta are all being threatened.
We have been having a lot of dental issues in our house which has in turn finally gotten my husband to the doctor for the first time in 20+ years! He has high blood pressure and the dentist won’t deal with the tooth until the blood pressure is controlled. So it’s good that I have some remarkable benefits through work.
In all of this my husband has decided to start eating healthier and is going to try to keep it up, so that will give me incentive to get back at it too. I am lingering around 190 right now and I’m so disgusted with myself since At the end of June I had finally made it to 175. I need to stop this freight train!
I’ll try to get back tomorrow night.8 -

If you have more calories one day compensate the next day.
If you can exercise that helps burn the calories or simple strength exercises help.
I have 1 stone to loose. Thanks to fitness pal I can enjoy anything within my calories and the incentives are amazing.
Anyone taking the plunge to change their life are amazing in whatever capacity. Some weeks I gained or maintained. I just started again the following day.
Happy Christmas 🎄 ⛄️🌟
This is what I'm doing at the moment. I achieved my 2019 goal at the end of October, and have now achieved my UGW, so am practicing maintaining while enjoying small portions of seasonal treats.
I am still logging and keeping an eye on staying under goal.
@Faebert Bravo! It's not just about weight loss. It's about maintaining good habits and staying healthy. It's the boring things that keep us on track.

I am going to keep the challenge going ... during the holiday season, it is so easy to put weight back on. If anyone wants to join me ... even just maintaining is a good thing.
I have not been posting lately ... I've been swamped both at work, and trying to sew up gifts. I do this every year.. wait till the last minute! Right now I am working on 2 table runners .. that I need to finish in just 2 days because they are for gym friends. The gym closes for good on sunday, and these 2 friends are going to different gyms. So other than our "planned" monthly get togethers now, we won't see each other as much.
But ... I am working hard at the snacking. Last nite I wanted snacks so bad, and drinking the water and eating a apple is helping me so much! I went to the QT here and bought one of those big mugs .. with a handle that I can carry around. Now I even bring water with me in the car ... and you all know how hard it is for me to drink water!
Anyhow, later tonite I will try and read through the many posts I am behind!!4 -
No check in from yesterday...the seminar was okay. Got up and had my smoothie - ate a turkey sausage wake up wrap from dunkins on the ride. But the only "snacks" available were scones and cinnamon buns. I had packed a protein bar that I should have ate instead...but I didnt. Then lunch was friggin deli meat platters, which I'm not supposed to eat. So I made a cheese sandwich and had soup and a salad - not terrible I suppose, except that I drank a coke to help with the raging headache I had, then had two cookies. How easily it spirals! There was a cocktail hour to follow so I had two burger sliders and 6 wings and another cookie. Back to it today though. The more I think about it...the more I realize that yesterdays eating is not going to make me fail my 3 hour test when I take it - either I have GD, or I dont. My placenta is either making my hormones out of whack causing the GD or it's not. So yes, eating better to mitigate the risks of high blood sugar if I do have GD is smart and best, but I need to forgive myself from yesterday and just keep doing my best. I havent felt baby as much today - but I'm 27 weeks so kick counts dont start technically until next week. I'll call the midwife later if I'm concerned.

Well done @mytime6630 on the challenge win. I know in the past you’ve found the Halloween to holidays period really difficult so it’s brilliant that you’re smashing it this year! I haven’t dared weigh myself as I’m still swollen post surgery, and was slightly out of my comfort zone beforehand! But I’m eating really healthily and drinking lots of water and doing what my body needs and that is my priority right now! Tomorrow I have an appointment back at the hospital and I may try my jeans on as a good way to see how I’m doing...
Otherwise I’m ok. Really missing the kids, and sad not to be there today when they get the Christmas tree. But hoping I can be home this time next week. First step is getting these horrible drains removed and the dressings taken off (fingers crossed tomorrow).
Have a lovely day all x

Good morning! Today is the work Christmas party so it's one of the days I'm allowing myself to go over calories. I am still going to try my best to be mindful with the eating though.
Yesterday 12/11:
1. Stay within calorie goal😁
2. Finish work at 5:20😑
3. Do workout😁
JFT 12/12:
1. Be mindful while eating
2. Finish work at 5:205 -
Things have been really good lately, though I haven't put much effort into weight management. Honestly, I'm just happy to feel happy. There for a while I worried that blah was as close as I'd get.
Today, I'd like to ask for some prayers for my oldest daughter. On Thanksgiving Day she experienced some loss of feeling and lack of control in her face and arm as well as losing vision in her eye. It was a short episode and she didn't tell us for many hours. The docs have checked her blood work and her heart, but today she gets an MRI on her brain. It's a weird scary feeling. I want them to find nothing wrong, but I also want to know what happened. So if y'all could pray for her that they find the cause and that it isn't anything serious I'd appreciate it greatly.
@Faebert I'm so glad you are recovering well. I hope the drains come out and you can get home soon to give the kiddos hugs and love and to feel loved in return.5 -
@pridesabtch how worrying! Have everything crossed for you that you get some answers and that there are no problems. Let us know xx1

1) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings = Fitbit 12,511 steps, 250+ 13/14 & 37 floors
2) Breakfast, lunch & snacks prelogged / not sure of supper since will be at happy hour with former colleagues / preview menu online for choices & stick w/ plan / best guess for food long / net calories zero / 14c water = Didn't meet up w/ friends & not in mood to fix supper so picked up healthy(ish) sandwich & soup and logged best guess. Late evening, hungry from all the decorating/cleaning/multiple stairways trips (again) so ate unplanned snacks. Net calories -217 , sodium -1,409 , sugar green, fiber low , protein ok, 14c water
3) PA-F testing / catch up Inbox! / more chapter emails 
forgot EMT Admin is between old/new jobs, he left no forwarding email w/ me & I had to deal w/ finding someone to answer member questions about upcoming courses... just great
4) Evening: skip adult beverage, enjoy NA beverage, stick w/ meal choice & enjoy company of friends so sad I missed seeing my friends / winter market / shop online for hubby no time / prep gifts & cards to be mailed no time / decorate more all Christmas decorations up, now just have 2 boxes of snowman decorations / other? put away all clean dishes, RSVP'd to J's invite, took photo of full moon over house (gorgeous sight)
5) UNPLUG 9:00 except logging food / FLOSS / RETAINERS / bed & tv off 10:20 still sleeping fitfully
JFT R 12/12 ~ Workplace "mindful" hike at lunchtime today ~ winter storm on its way & heavy snow s/b falling then, will be fun & I'm so excited to walk trails outside again! Missed last week's hike due to sickness.
1) Change & leave on time for hike (< 5 min. drive to meeting spot)
2) Move hourly / stairs breaks / 5 somethings
3) Meals & snacks prelogged / planned eating at desk due to hike / net calories zero / 14c water
4) Advent devotional / choir 6:30 / shop online for hubby (whatever comes late will be his Jan. bday gift
) / prep gifts & cards to be mailed / make apple crisp? / other?
5) UNPLUG 9:00 / floss / retainers / bed & tv 10:20
Feeling better bit by bit, only three more days on steroids. Hopefully my sleep will settle once I'm done with meds. Sleep troubles may also be due to trying to cram too much into each day, since I was out of commission last week. Know this should be short-term.3 -
@pridesabtch How scary! I will keep you and family in my prayers. Hopefully you get answers soon.
@faebert Your approach to recovery is so inspiring! Hoping your recovery is speedy & uneventful.2 -
