And get my diet back in check. Then i can shoot for next month :) and my goal to see 179 or lower. My birthday is jan 28th and i turn the big 40

    Sorry for your loss Joe. Good job on lifting your head up over the sadness with that run. Look forward to seeing you make your next month’s goal 🌸

    @SammyDee2015 The new month doesn't start until next Sunday, the team thread link and further instructions will be posted probably tomorrow, I tend to send those out Monday or Tuesday of the last week of the challenge.

    Basically though, if you want to continue, you're automatically re-enrolled unless you specify that you do not want to continue.

    Daily Post (Sunday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise: Yes, 40 mins weight training and 20 min walk to round out my hour.

    Comments: Really trying to get myself back on track and it's been surprisingly hard. Really didn't think it would have been so hard but it really has been. Hoping to take this one day at a time until I can get back into it. I think it's important to realize that I have been in an unusual situation and that it would make sense to have gotten a little off course, but my brain is really beating me up about it. I am adjusting my goals for January and with my work situation, so I need to be realistic about what I can humanly achieve in one day. Unfortunately I am not Wonder Woman, and I am just not able to do it all.

    Just saw something called Stop, Start and Continue and this particular "game" was played in reference to the New Year and goals for the New Year and I like the idea so much better than New Year's Resolutions and in that spirit I'd like to play it.

    I'll start and feel free to chime in :smile:

    Stop: Stop making excuses for letting stress get in the way of my goals and stop over eating to make myself feel better....as it really doesn't work that way and it's just making me feel worse.
    Start: Find a positive thing each day that has gone according to plan and Journal about it so I have it to look back on when I am finding things hard to be positive about.
    Continue: Weightlifting training. This will be extremely important soon as I am trying to compete in February.

    Sammy’s 2020 Stop, Start and Continue goals!
    [/b]Stop: ‘letting’ work intrude on my fitness adventure schedule. The desk job status just isn’t as important to my longevity as the state of overall health.
    Start: Implementing a planned running routine instead of what-do-I-feel-like-doing sessions.
    Continue: taking supplements every day. It makes a huge difference, in SO many ways.

    I love this way of thinking/reaching into my future- thanks AB0215! 🤗

    I'm posting this now to keep me accountable. If I post it, I must do it!!

    Track ✔ (fasting day!)
    Calories ✔ (now I have to stick to it!)
    Exercise ✔ about time it stopped raining

    STOP making excuses for not getting outside and being active. It's not always going to be a beautiful day, so just get out there.
    START taking more pride in my accomplishments so far. 80 pounds is a big deal!
    CONTINUE tracking and posting losses until I reach my goal. I'm halfway there!

    December Week 5

    PW: 161.8
    CW: 164.2

    I expected to be up this week, since I was sick on week 3 and last week I was over on my calories several times & ate a lot of sugary Christmas snacks even when I wasn't. Over all, I lost more than the 5 lbs that was my goal for December, so this challenge has helped me a lot.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Over
    Exercise: No

    STOP Cheating on my IF hours and running so far over my sugar & carb macros. If there's one thing that ruined IF for me before it's thinking I could eat whatever I wanted during my feeding window
    START Exercising again. I've gotten way too lazy over these past two weeks.
    CONTINUE Tracking everything in MFP.

    STOP beating myself up about my body and what I can't do for myself myself

    CONTINUE to eat small portions and chew 25 times before swallowing and take all my supplements
