    Just curious...do we want another exercise challenge for January?

    Whether it be a challenge or some other exercise component, I certainly need reasons to keep myself moving when it is so cold, and slippery roads. So I am game for suggestions.

    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 …..xxxxx …..

    12/28 …..xxxxx …..

    12/29 …..xxxxx …..

    12/30 …..xxxxx …..

    12/31 …..xxxxx …..

    My goal is to Dance for 20 minutes per day to increase my calorie burn.
    Dec 01 – Danced 20 minutes and my was it harder than last time!
    Dec 02 – Danced my heart out for 20 minutes.
    Dec 03 – No dancing. Paperwork and wrapping presents.
    Dec 04 – Danced for 20 minutes to mostly classic rock.
    Dec 05 – Danced for about 22 minutes to a nice mix of music.
    Dec 06 – Lots of movement but no dancing due to workmen here all day and continued unpacking.
    Dec 07 – More workers here and no dancing. However, if you count going up and down stairs for hours as exercise, I got in my fair share!
    Dec 08 – Danced about 8 minutes. Better than nothing I suppose.
    Dec 09 – 20 minutes of dancing and it knocked the wind out of me. Slower songs next time until I get used to it again!
    Dec 10 – No dancing. All working around the house and sitting…sitting…sitting while shopping online. No stores in my rural area!
    Dec 11 – Danced 20 minutes and even sang to the songs!
    Dec 12 – No Dancing. Not enough movement. Online shopping again!
    Dec 13 – Danced for about 14 minutes.
    Dec 14 – I didn’t dance. A friend was over until very late last night who ran errands with me all day. Donuts & coffee did not help the scale.
    Dec15 – Danced about 12 minutes. But I got a LOT of unpacking and orgainizing done. And I am all caught up on the wrapping until Amazon visits me tomorrow.
    Dec 16 – No Dancing. Went on errands and then my friend came over.
    Dec 17 – 20 minutes of dancing.
    Dec 18 – No dancing. All travel and car sitting yesterday until almost midnight!
    Dec 19 – No dancing. Wrapped all day the presents from my Christmas haul.
    Dec 20 – No dancing because a workman was here most of the day and evening. But I got in LOTS of housecleaning!
    Dec 21 – Two very slow workmen here yesterday. Left at 9:30 pm No dancing but I tried to stay fairly active organizing.
    Dec 22 – 10 minutes.
    Dec 23 – 20 minutes of dancing. A little ticked off to see some of my songs have been removed from the free alexa musical list!
    Dec 24 – Nope. Company all day. It must be the holidays!
    Dec 25 – 15 minutes of dancing madness.

    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!

    Day/Weight/Comment

    12/23 131.8 – 10.61 walked yesterday incorporating day 1 week 6 C25K in 42.39 mins. 265 calories in credit. Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone xxx !!

    exercise.png

    12/24 131 – wow! This is a new low for this year, last time I was this low was June 2019. 10.43 miles walked yesterday including day 2 week 6 C25K in 41.59 mins; 2 x 10 mins jogging with 3 mins recovery time in between, tomorrow is 25 mins run straight off!! no way yet; I intend doing 2 x 11 mins with 2 mins recovery inbetween – I have to build up to 25!! 303 calories in credit. Happy Christmas Eve
    12/25 133.8 – well that's not a nice Christmas present!! So is this the scale playing with me, the chocolate, pizza, mulled wine or mince pie? Or a combination of both? Oh well, it's Christmas!! And today a rest from exercise, a chance to spend with our families which also means several hours travelling in the car, but the few hours with our grown up children and grandchildren will be precious. 9.88 miles walked yesterday incorporating 20 mins jogging and it didn't feel too bad!!
    Happy Christmas to you all and your families, enjoy as best you are able. For those who have lost loved ones at this time I hope you can find peace and comfort in past memories, sending you and all those that have loved ones that are ill hugs and positive thoughts xx.
    12/26 134.4 (uhh!) Such a wonderful day yesterday, treasure the memories ! Back to tier 3 restrictions today, getting out for a good walk with DH today. Enjoy your Boxing Day.
    12/27 134 – 9.35 miles walked yesterday. 25 calories over, keeping extra goodies under control as best I can! 5 days to repair the festive damage.

    Just curious...do we want another exercise challenge for January?

    I've thought about this before I replied; originally I was going to stop running (or should I say jogging) after I completed my 5K 50ypyopbqhzh.png, I was hating the running and so was my knee, but a challenge is a challenge and I persevered !! Then I started to see the benefit of metabolism increasing and seeing the results in body changing, furthermore, as I'm progressing I'm finding that the actual running whilst I'm doing it is not that bad? Still can't say I enjoy it, but it sorta gets addictive? I've certainly missed it since Christmas day (DH home all & everyday from then until 4th Jan), think I might have to try getting out for an hour on my own to fit some in. I can't believe that I'm saying this as I've always considered myself not to be a runner!!
    I can't visualize me running more than 5K (when I eventually achieve that!) (but never say never especially in the light of this revelation!!), but cuz I like the results, I do intend keeping the running up 2-3 times per week. I never thought at the age of 62 I would be changing my opinion of running! Thank you @UTMom81for this new perspective of exercise and my life.
    So the answer is if you do decide to go ahead with a new challenge, yes I will participate and I know it will help to give me the added incentive together with seeing the benefits of keeping at it, but at this moment I don't think I will be stretching myself to run a greater distance.
