Congratulations on meeting your yoga practice goal! Great job! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with for your goal for January. I also have a couple other life goal type things in mind that I'll mention since you asked. (I recorded them in my personal journal, but didn't mention them here.) I added the hiking goal this month because I needed that for my mental health, but in addition, I have a Bible Study goal (5/week) and a Service to Others (2/month) goal that I will meet by serving at a Recovery (from addiction) program that is near and dear to my heart.
That's really amazing and inspiring! Thank you for sharing. I wish I knew the area better and things weren't shutting down again (ugh, San Antonio had an influx of visitors to my town for Christmas and now they're shutting down again to avoid a large spike like they had in SA). I'd love to do something like visit the elderly to sit and talk, do crafts, etc. When things safely open up again, I definitely want to look into that. It'll be good for me for sure, and hopefully for them, too!5 -

I went a little, but not too, crazy on my BD yesterday — pizza, cake, wine. 🥳 We do have leftover pizza for lunch, but I’ll have salad & yogurt for dinner, so should be ok. I’ve done no baking this year, though I will make a mince pie tomorrow because, hey, it’s Christmas and we need some traditional treat! And I LOVE mince (meat), with no actual meat. Luckily, DH is not a big sweets eater so he doesn’t mind that I didn’t fill the kitchen with goodies this year.
12/24 - 182 - 1539
Lots of salt yesterday. Lots of water today! I’m baking my one and only baked goody this morning — mince pie — and the house smells fabulous! Otherwise, we’re planning a very quiet Eve and Day, zooming our UU evening service of light, hope, and music, and reading Christmas-gift books. For all who celebrate, wishing you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza— Peace to all!
12/25 - 182.4 - 1674
Merry Christmas! My mincemeat pie came out gorgeous — I’d share for real if I could, but this is the best I can do.
Wishing you peace, joy, health, and love.
12/26 - 184 - 1901
Ho ho ho! I ate happily yesterday, and enjoyed everything. The high yesterday was 16F with a 1F windchill, so no walk, but a lovely day to curl up with a new book and a cup of tea.
12/27 - 184 - 2147
I had a bit of a pig out yesterday. We ordered out for lunch and pretty much nibbled the rest of the day — no real junk, but more sodium than usual, I think. I feel waterlogged. It’ll be fine. Now we return to our regularly scheduled program. 🖥
12/28 - 184 - 1901
High-calories week, but that was expected. I still feel bloated, so I’ll try for lots more water today. This week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is odd in the best of times, and this year it’s especially weird! I’m thinking of stringing lights around my office to cheerful things up pending spring. Maybe I’ll leave the tree up until April or so as well! Wishing you a peaceful, hopeful final week of this uproar of a year.

I’m working on a new approach, new attitude, since my obsessive tracking, counting, calculating have obviously done nothing but make me beat myself up for “failing.” I’ve been reading (listening to) Intuitive Eating by Evelyn Tribble and Self-compassion by Kristin Neff — and interesting combination — and am beginning to understand my eating and other patterns much better. I’ve decided to (try to) let go of weight goals and eventually let go of eating restrictions. I’m not quite ready to move entirely away from tracking, but I’ll be taking baby steps beginning now. I plan to weigh myself less frequently — the last day of each round seems appropriate, starting with R137. I also have set my calorie goal at approximately my TDEE based on 9 months of steady weight (within 2-3 pounds) and average calories. I’ll be aiming to mindfully eat satisfying meals that should eventually help me stop silly snacking, though I’m also going to try to stop scolding myself over food. I realized as I listen to the books that I was put on my first diet in 3rd grade, and have dieted on and off, and scolded myself about food even when not dieting, all my life. It clearly hasn’t worked long term, and I’m not going to spend the rest of my life making myself miserable over something that should be enjoyable. So, I’d like to keep checking in here because I find the group supportive, but I’m shifting my goals and approach (yes, again, but I’m determined to stick with this less rigid, less punitive approach). Thanks for “listening.”
12/30 - 183 - 1741
Miserable day here — rain now, freezing rain headed our way. Glad I grabbed the milk and eggs yesterday! I did very well with my new approach yesterday — meditated 20 minutes (and remembered how good I felt when I meditated regularly a few years ago), ate satisfying meals and felt no urge to snack until late, when I had some popcorn. Also got a short walk in and slung my dumbbells every time I was in the bathroom. All good.
12/31 - 183 - 1834
Good if slightly salty day yesterday. I meditated twice, short sessions as I work back into the practice, and felt very calm afterward. I just joined a free 21-day meditation challenge through Dan Harris’s Ten Percent Happier website/blog. I finished listening to Intuitive Eating (free with Audible membership if anyone is interested) and I’m already paying more attention to what I’m eating and why. I don’t see myself stopping all tracking, but I am going to try not to be ruled by the numbers, nor label foods “good” and “bad,” nor weigh myself so often. Out with the old, in with the new! Be safe tonight, everyone! Skeedaddle, 2020!

Goals for 2021 — Meditate most days. Walk most days. Eat mindfully.

If it helps any, it took me about 6-7 months with this group before I started showing any progress. During that 6 months, I read, researched, got ideas and understood my body - what worked, what didn't. What foods had what impact. Found some success. Then I took time off from the group for a few months and gained it back (I went from ~164 to ~143. Left the group and went back up to ~155!). Been back with the group regularly for about 4 months and only in the last 2.5-3 weeks shown any progress. Be patient, don't give up! We will support you 10000000%
Also, be kind to yourself. It is a learning process, I think. You can do it, my friend

Day/Weight/Comment
12/22 …..204.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/23 …..205.0 ….. Not too bad after a late night of baking. Now they are ready to be shared…..served for Christmas…..Eaten . Gotta keep control.
12/24 …..xxxxx ….. I didn’t get to weigh this morning. I woke up to the Septic company banging on my patio door. I quickly got dressed and grabbed my coffee. After days of a mysterious septic problem they found a massive root ball (the largest they had ever seen) just under the tank lid which was blocking anything from going in. After much work they cleared the problem and things are flowing again. Ah... the joys of learning a new house! I am trying to remain grateful for my blessings. I am thrilled (and lucky) they were willing to come out on Christmas Even from 25 miles away! Yesterday consisted of very well-planned meals but there were some cookies…… We’ll see what the scale holds in the morning. Will it whisper or will it shout? More baking today.
12/25 …..205.4 ….. Merry Christmas Everyone! Sharing is Caring so I want to share with everyone that I just concretely found out that making a small saucer of cookies your lunch and skipping all the calories in the normal lunch foods DOES NOT keep you from gaining weight. Up 0.4 in the last two days. It could have been worse, but it should have been better. Moving on…… Our family dinner and gift exchange will be on Sunday when everyone has the day off. I have enjoyed a special Christmas and gift opening morning quietly at home with my son this morning. To all of you..... I hope all people all over the world find health and peace and love today (including self-love) regardless of your location, orientations, nationalities or beliefs.
12/26 …..205.4 ….. Good meals. Bad snacks yesterday. Our family dinner is tomorrow.
12/27 …..203.2 ….. Whoosh! Christmas Dinner today with all my children and grandchildren. I don’t expect today’s weight to last over the next couple of days. However, I did try to do the math and have a good day yesterday to offset the day that is coming today.
12/28 …..205.2 ….. And back up it goes again after our major Christmas Dinner yesterday. I didn’t really think I ate very much in quantity and I kept the desserts down to practically nothing. However, there was 2 glasses of wine and a lot of very salty and starchy foods. Let’s hope the scale is kinder tomorrow. Lazy clean-up day today. Not much else.
12/29 …..206.0 ….. 4 glasses of wine later, I am left wondering what happened? Okay… I get it. Even with careful planning of meal leftovers and cookies snacks kept small, wine has calories and carbs. I’m just trying to not waste the leftovers. (This is what growing up poor does to you!)
12/30 …..206.0 ….. I poured out the rest of the wine, gave away the rest of the fudge and cookies. However, I ate one half of a Chinese Dinner a friend brought over. I will eat the other half today. Lots of sodium so I will push water.
12/31 …..207.0 ….. I ate the other half of the Chinese yesterday and didn’t push as much water as I should have. Other bad choices as well. Tonight I will partake in a small amount of alcohol so I will pre-plan the food.
01/01 …..xxxxx …..

12/23 195.2 This is hard week with junk food falling from the sky. I got to my desk to receive marshmallows, candy cane, and Lindt’s chocolate. My lack of sleep has made resistance difficult but I took a Tylenol PM last night and got a solid 7 hours!
12/24 195.9 No hugs. I am ok. I will get in some exercise today. I already did my 20 minute Zumba. I gave low calorie lunch planned today and then.
12/25 196.1 I did not sleep wind storm and I was afraid I could not hear the pitter patter of little feet but got in my morning Zumba before the kids woke up and destroyed my house. I did have a Christmas brunch that started at 10.00am with ribs and mac and cheese cupcakes. I did not log my food today or yesterday.
12/26 197.1 Very lazy today with more gift giving and eating with my sister who brought so much stuff that I can’t think on how to catch up with cleaning and organizing. I did not do a workout at all, not even my morning Zumba.
12/27 197.1 Much better today, did my morning workout and even a quick walk/jog.
12/28 DNW
12/29 198.1 I only feel so bad about this because TOM is overdue by 3 days. So I am very bloated right now.
12/30 196.2 TOM is here but some drop. Today would mark first day in awhile that my calorie count is within my goal range and under 2000. My habits have not been very good for the holiday. Better than last year and the year before. My gain is not nearly as high as it has been. My low for the month of December was 193.2 and I am higher than that now but then I remember that January 1st 2020 I was 226.5 so 196.2 is not bad at all. I keep logging, I keep trying. 2020 might have been rough but I am looking at my successes. 30lbs gone...sorry for the rant.
12/31 195 Good way to end the year. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I needed to hear that. We'll see how tonight goes. A very quiet New Years considering the last 2 years I worked for Uber.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 136 (round 68 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to help me keep grounded over Christmas! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to stay under 133 during the festive period and then back into the 132s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable considering it's Christmas and doable! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

KEEP SAFE EVERYONE. Keep calm – we're all in this together!
?�ﾟﾏﾼ?ﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ This is NOT A DIET - It’s a PERMANENT LIFESTYLE. ?�ﾟﾏﾼ?�ﾟﾏﾼ
I was hoping to do my with a best time yet today. However, the state of our footpaths, still frozen snow and very slippery, has prohibited any jogging since Monday. In fact my last jogging was Thursday, didn't do any over the festive period!! So I shall have to do it in the next round as it's not going to thaw out in the next few days.
Therefore I feel that my
will have to be my Kick 2020 to the Kerb challenge carried over. No problem I am still up for the challenge! 7 -

12/31= 133.2
I will just be happy with this weight since I'm not being very active--have a sinus headache so not feeling super ambitious. I'm working on setting goals for 2021 today, as is the rest of the world, I suppose:) I was lucky enough to get Dose #1 of the Pfizer vaccine last week--excited to maybe hopefully see the world getting back to some sort of "normal" in the coming months!!! (shot wasn't bad, had sore arm for a couple days, but nothing terrible)

If it helps any, it took me about 6-7 months with this group before I started showing any progress. During that 6 months, I read, researched, got ideas and understood my body - what worked, what didn't. What foods had what impact. Found some success. Then I took time off from the group for a few months and gained it back (I went from ~164 to ~143. Left the group and went back up to ~155!). Been back with the group regularly for about 4 months and only in the last 2.5-3 weeks shown any progress. Be patient, don't give up! We will support you 10000000%
Also, be kind to yourself. It is a learning process, I think. You can do it, my friend
Thank you so much--I really needed this encouragement today!! It means more than I can say

Goals for this round:
- Continue to do yoga nightly
- Lose 1 lb - just 1!
12/23 - 133.6 - One more round for this year! I will be very happy to see 2020 go. My 5 year old is so excited for Christmas this year, and we are doing what we can to make it joyful for her. Today we’re making and decorating gingerbread people! Luckily, I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread, so less temptation for me to overindulge.
12/24 - 133.6 - And we’ll just keep holding here, I guess. I’d have liked a little bit more of a drop since I don’t plan to weigh-in or really track much tomorrow, but the number is what it is. Had a good day yesterday not eating the gingerbread cookies we made, and we went for a walk to look at lights after dinner. Our little guy got tired of the stroller 3/4ths of the way through, so he got piggyback rides the rest of the way. Good back and shoulder workout for me!
To all who celebrate it in this group, have a wonderful Christmas Eve tonight, and a very Merry Christmas tomorrow!
12/25 -DNW - Merry Christmas!
12/26 - 134.6 - Ok, that could have been much worse. We’ll see where the scale settles out over the next few days. Yesterday was amazing - chaos, but amazing. I let myself enjoy all the treats without tracking and certainly didn’t have time for a morning workout, though I did at least close my Apple Fitness rings by taking the dog for a long walk last night. Today - back to focusing on healthy eating and portion control. I started with only half a cinnamon roll for breakfast instead of a whole one, and 40 minutes of HIIT and strength training.
12/27 - 133.8 - Coming back down, and it’s even TOM which tends to push up the scale for me. I’m still enjoying some of our Christmas treats though - cinnamon rolls in the morning and peppermint cheesecake at night, plus so many cookies in the house - so I’m not expecting to see any major drops before New Years. I’m trying to get into a mental space where maintaining is ok, since the peppermint cheesecake is definitely worth it 😂
12/28 - 134.2 - Got a good dance and strength workout in this morning - I’m loving Apple Fitness+. I’m almost back on track now with my meal prep and tracking: I’ve got breakfast (strawberry banana overnight oats and a hard boiled egg) and lunch (chicken and wild rice soup) all set for the week, plus homemade granola bars for my snack. I do have one more serving of peppermint cheesecake left tonight - and I will enjoy every crumb before returning my focus to maintaining a solid deficit the rest of this week.
12/29 - 134.2 - Was hoping the scale would go down a little, but it’s ok. I did a solid 45 minutes of Ring Fit this morning, and we took the kids for a walk too. I’m back to having one little treat each day, and I’ll be freezing some of the remaining cookies/treats to remove the temptation.
12/30 - 133.6 - OMG, I tried Beat Saber on our PS VR last night. SO MUCH FUN! But I am certainly feeling it in my bad knee today (tore it up playing soccer in high school) so I may need to find a brace if I want to play it again. Worked out this morning and will stick to my meal plan today!
12/31 - 133.2 - Ending the year on my lowest weight yet! I also dragged out my old scale and weighed myself on it (it had me at 165 when I started this journey back at the beginning of September; I replaced it since it only did half-pound increments) and it said I was 135 - so based on that I’m declaring that I’m 30 lbs down this year! 😂. Ordered out last night; got a shrimp teriyaki bowl with greens, brown rice, edamame and broccoli, so I don’t think the calories were super high but I’m sure the sodium was. Doing a fondue and some appetizers tonight - I plan to aim for maintenance again. Maybe I can convince my husband to play Beat Saber until midnight.
01/01
Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night
12/23 - Nearly fell asleep on the couch at 10 last night, but managed to do a 10 minute mindfulness video before going to bed early.
12/24 - Finished up all the wrapping last night - didn’t make time for yoga. Not going to happen tonight either, with everything we have to set up for tomorrow.
12/25 - Merry Christmas!
12/26 - Too tired to do anything but collapse last night - definitely got to get back into this habit tonight!
12/27 - 15 minutes of calm yoga before bed puts me in a much better mood for sleep
12/28 - 20 minutes of yoga
12/29 - Neck and back were really sore last night, so I did a yoga program intended to help loosen them up.
12/30 - Played Beat Saber instead of yoga.
12/31 - 20 minute yoga program on Apple Fitness +
I’m surprised how much I struggled with this challenge - I frequently had to force myself to take the time to do it. Still thinking on what I want to do for the January challenge.9 -

Another goal: Actually check-in each day and weigh daily.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23 I think I’m going to take this round as a check in round and not focus on weighing. My husband and I decided that New Year’s weekend, we’ll do a 2 day fast to kind of reset and refocus what we want to get from the new year. We’ll also take a 2-day break from our phones and the internet. We did this once a couple years ago and it was challenging but so worth it. I’ll fill my time with reading, coloring, meditating, stretching and yoga.
12/24 Merry Christmas Eve everyone! Today will be a day of baking and indulging a little bit. I plan on making my father in law a batch of whole grain ginger molasses cookies, chocolate brownie/meringue cookies for my sister in law, and key lime pie for my mother in law, husband and me. Then, I am also planning to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast tomorrow morning for my husband and me. I got the cinnamon roll recipe from my aunt who makes them every holiday for breakfast. 30 years later and I’m finally trying it out for myself! So, we shall see how that goes 😊. I’m going to try and eat light today because I know I’ll be sampling the goodies as I make them.
12/25 Did not post.
12/26 Good morning everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas if you celebrate it. My husband and I had a nice quiet morning eating the cinnamon rolls I made (they came out delicious!) and munching on a bit of key lime pie as well. Then, around 1 we headed to my in laws to swap gifts and goodies on the porch. After, we headed home to eat and then, open presents virtually. I do have some sweet treats to finish up but after that, I’ll enjoy the healthier food we have in the fridge. The one good thing about Christmas dinner is that it’s a lot lighter than Thanksgiving. She made a pot roast with carrots and onions, some ravioli with meatballs and sauce, mashed potatoes and green peas. I think I feel like its lighter at least because I can portion it easily and it’s food I’m less likely to eat a lot of. I’m not sure what’s on the agenda for today except some straightening up around the house and laundry. Looking forward to a chill couple of days. I do plan on jumping on the bike later this morning to burn a few of the sweets off lol.
12/27 Did not post.
12/28 Felt really tired yesterday and had to adventure to the vet with our kitty. I think the three days of unhealthyish eating really hit me. Going from eating pretty healthy to blehck a few days really made me realize how much food effects your energy levels. For the first time I think ever, I finished a bike ride on Saturday and thought that I could have lived without it because it just felt so hard and unenjoyable/ I was super tired afterwards. I’m feeling a little different today and did some yoga to start my morning. Today, the food will be much healthier and I’m looking forward to feeling better because of it.
12/29 118.8 I’m hoping this is because of where I’m at in my cycle. Not a fan of that high of a number. This week I should be able to weigh daily because my husband is waking up earlier and not trying to go back to sleep and then next week he starts his clinical fieldwork. I did some reflecting on this number at the end of my yoga routine this morning and I decided that I’m ready to release this weight. I remember thinking back in October when I was right around 112 and wondering if I was getting too little. I don’t think I was, it was just a place that I wasn’t used to so it felt weird to me. I think I just have to get back there and get used to it. In November, my birthday hit, and my weight went up from there because of way too many indulgences for too many weekends in a row. I’m looking forward to the present and future with the holiday indulgences now behind us. I’m ready to change my mindset and think of it as releasing weight…that way it has a lower chance of coming back, right? Whelp, that’s my take on things this morning. Have a happy Tuesday!
12/30 117.4 Yesterday’s food was pretty good, except for me realizing there was like a quarter cup of sweetened condensed milk left in the fridge which I proceeded to eat with a spoon after my breakfast (luckily it fit within my calories for the day) because I didn’t want it in the fridge anymore…but I didn’t want to throw it away either because it was a really good brand and it’s so yummy. I truly think I’m addicted to sugar and just can’t have stuff like that in the house. The good thing is that I typically don’t have that stuff in the house and if I have any sort of baked goods they are a “healthier” version of the original.
Breakfast yesterday was 2 slices of Dave’s killer 21 seeds and grains toast with butter on one slice and cream cheese of the other slice plus an egg. Then, I had the sweetened condensed milk as my last hurrah of sweets in the house/didn’t want to throw it out. Ugh, although it did taste delicious. Dinner was bone in chicken thighs baked on top of white sweet potatoes and beets.
Today will be 2 slices of that toast with butter on one slice and macadamia nut butter on the other, one of the left over chicken thighs, and an apple. Then, dinner will be potentially more leftover chicken thighs, collard greens, maybe carrots, and whole wheat cous cous.
12/31 117.6 It’s been a good day and my food has been solid so far. I have homemade meatballs planned for dinner with sauce and whole wheat pasta. I got the cookbook “Pasta Grannies” for Christmas and it has gotten me in the mood to make meatballs and sauce from scratch. So that’ll be my food adventure tonight. The good thing about it is that there will be leftovers for tomorrow.
Also, the collards I made for dinner last night went over pretty well with my husband…he actually said they were edible and he normally doesn’t eat cooked greens on their own…so I’m taking it as a win! Happy New Year!
01/01
12/23 I just did a 30 minute Christmas pop spin bike workout and my husband and I plan on going for a walk at a local nature reservation this afternoon.
12/24 Did a 25 minute yoga video this morning and had fun trying crow pose. I also realized my body and core are stronger than I thought because I did this side plank variation where you balance on one leg and grab your free knee with your hand. I thought I was going to fall during it but managed not to! I might give myself a break from the spin bike today…not quite sure. I know I could use the extra burn from it though. Maybe in between baking I can squeeze a ride in?
12/25 Did not post and didn’t do any activity.
12/26 Started my morning with a 30 minute HIIT Vinyasa flow yoga video. It was surprisingly more intense than I thought it would be, which was fun. I broke a bit of a sweat at one point 😊. I plan on attempting a 60 spin bike ride later this morning.
12/27 Didn’t do any activity.
12/28 Started my day with a 20 minute yoga video designed to help wake you up and get you ready for the day. I plan on doing a 20 or 30 minute bike ride later on today.
12/29 35 minute yoga video this morning and want to do a 30 minute spin bike workout during my lunch today.
12/30 I managed to do a 30 minute bike ride yesterday along with a morning yoga and a yoga routine for anxiety after my day of work. This morning I did a 20 minute little bit of everything yoga video and plan to do a 45 minute spin bike workout later (it’s s new one and the music looked really fun which is why I’m motivated to do the 45 minute ride). It really is crazy how much longer a 45 minute ride feels compared to the 30 or 20ish minute ones.
12/31 Started my day with a 40 minute rainy day yoga video. Then, during my lunch I did a 20 minute Arianna Grande themed spin workout. My husband and I are also planning to go for a little hike in the Blue Hills this afternoon. I’m excited for that because I haven’t explored those trails yet.
I have officially hit my goal for this exercise challenge. I think over the past month or however long we've been doing it, I have either done yoga 5-6 days a week maybe every day one of the weeks (not completely sure) and I have also done the spin bike anywhere from 4 to 5 and maybe 6 times in one of the weeks. I loved this challenge and looking forward to the next goals challenge for January 2021! Still thinking about what I want to set for that. I'm sure it'll be spin and yoga-related along with a few other things.

12/23 - 145 - Birthday and Christmas carbs have caught up with me. I'm starting my holiday break from work today and don't have to go back until January 4th. I'm putting in a grocery order for pick up and baking today to get ready for our family Christmas food exchange. We are driving to each other's homes on Friday to drop off our food and presents and then going back home to open them on video call.

12/24 160.0- just joining! Excited to follow the progress within this group. After I get my exercise in, I will be spending the day preparing a family Christmas Eve meal for tonight. Plan to mindfully enjoy it.

12/29 -160.2. I’ve been consistently getting my workouts in, and not eating terribly (plenty of room for improvement though lol) but I’m not worrying too much about it over the holidays.
12/30- 159.6. Lots of exercise yesterday as I finished my workout then took the Christmas tree down.
12/31- 157.6 whoosh! Hope it sticks as it’s the first significant dip of the week. Downloaded an app to remind me to drink more water. I LOVE coffee and sip on it all day everyday. Time to scale that back and actually drink a glass of water now and then.

2021!

SW = 195.7/88.8
CW = 198.8/90.2
Day/Weight/Comment12/23 = 88.8
Merry Christmas Eve Eve,
I declare today Gingerbread fest!
12/24 = 88.7
Christmas Eve! This is not a drill!
12/25 = 89
The most wonderful day of the year.
12/26 = 90
12/27 = 90.5
Experiment Fail.
I don't feel relaxed, my asthma and digestive issues are out of control... I think I made a mistake in setting my eating plan aside over Christmas, I guess I was still thinking about it as a weight loss goal, or a diet, instead of a change to my lifestyle which supports my health.
I'll do better today.
12/28 = 90 Halfway
Over kj yesterday but better than the day before, and an improvement in food choices, I'll do better again today, baby steps.
Why is it so hard to build healthy habits and so easy to return to unhealthy ones?
I'll aim to get back to my pre-holiday daily kj intake target by the end of the round.
12/29 = 90
Inching closer day by day
Aim for today <6000kj.
12/30 = 89.5
Aim for today <5500kj.
12/31 = 89.5
NYE!
Two of my four chicks have started trying to crow today!
so it seems my first project for 2021 will be building a rooster pen (or four LOL)
Aim for today <5000kj
01/01 =90.2 HAPPY NEW YEAR!
I don't even know why I set a kj goal yesterday, it's not like I didn't know I was going to ignore it... LOL Next time I'll try and be more realistic.
*sigh* Whelp, the only thing to do is focus on the day ahead of me, drink lots of water to help with the mountain of salty food yesterday and try for <5000kj again
New Years Resolution: Stay <4500kj till the March equinox.

I have officially hit my goal for this exercise challenge. I think over the past month or however long we've been doing it, I have either done yoga 5-6 days a week maybe every day one of the weeks (not completely sure) and I have also done the spin bike anywhere from 4 to 5 and maybe 6 times in one of the weeks. I loved this challenge and looking forward to the next goals challenge for January 2021! Still thinking about what I want to set for that. I'm sure it'll be spin and yoga-related along with a few other things.
Congratulations on making your goal! Your yoga and spin sessions have been inspirational—SO consistent! Looking forward to seeing what you choose for January. Happy New Year!2 -
On the 20th of October 2020 I was 220/100kg (had been for well over a year)
I made a goal for the 1st Jan: onederland
and while I had my up's (and up's) this round, I've made that goal
So now to make another wildly optimistic goal
20th March: under 176.3/80
The 70's are a number I don't know if my scale can even go to
but I didn't believe in onderland either so what do I know, I'll leave it to science and keep my self-doubt out of it
