    Did I follow my diet today? uh...um..Red Robin, YUM!!!
    Did I drink enough water? um.....almost!

    Abs: (any ab work and how much) not today
    Challenge completed? Challenge starts 12/1!!
    Did I take my vitamin? Yes before bed
    How do I feel about my day? Welp today we cleaned up the house a bit. I'm so happy that I've been keeping u with keeping it cleaning because it was just vac-ing and wiping down things, did some laundry, and decorated the inside of the house! Seriously, I have the best little one year old on the planet. She checked out all the decorations on her level (stockings) and decided she would just leave them alone! ::swipes head:: wooooo! Then my bro in law, sister in law and niece come over and we went out to Reb Robin to celebrate them being pregnant! yay!! Their oldest daughter is 12 (had her young) but they are wanting to have more kids! I'm so excited for them! It makes me think even more about losing weight for when I have baby number 2. I want to be stronger, fitter, and healthy! I had a very healthy pregnancy with my daughter but I don't want to push my luck. This news really helped me refocus!

    Oh yeah if u can wait till u have ur almost dream body or dream body, u will be able to bounce back after giving birth. Plus breastfeeding and walking or biking and the pound u gained while prego will drop off and ur tummy will go down alot too. Ive had friends do this and its amazing how good they look after only giving birth a few weeks ago. They had pics on fb so other mothers to be or friends that r going to have kids have a heads up. So cant wait to have kids of my own but i probably have another year to wait then ill join u in the picking up and trying to juggle a very busy life with a kid. Don;t know how u do it but Im sure u will have tips for me :P lol

    Did I follow my diet today? Almost- too much sweets and sodium. I REALLY need to re-examine what I eat and find a way to fix this.
    Did I drink enough water? a few glasses shy
    Cardio: (what and how long) I got my walk in, and did my hundred jumping jacks
    Abs: (any ab work and how much) no
    Challenge completed? YES (my boy friend seemed very amused watching me do that)
    Did I take my vitamin? Yes
    How do I feel about my day? I worked today. ALL day I have been totally exhausted, even though I got 8 hours of sleep, and a nap in this after noon before going to the office. I just could not wake up today. I am off again for the next 3 days, so hopefully I can catch up on rest and get more house work done :)

    Did I follow my diet today? yes, just over on sugar
    Did I drink enough water? plenty
    Cardio: (what and how long) some general cleaning/decorating
    Abs: (any ab work and how much) no
    Challenge completed? no, I got home past 7 pm so had dinner right after that, my belly was too full to jump around! I promise to make it up tomorrow!
    Did I take my vitamin? Yes before bed as usual!
    How do I feel about my day? just a LONG Monday. It was a very busy day at work today and I didn't get to finish everything I needed to. I was able to decorate my office though!! I also got to set up a train around our Christmas Tree!! (part of the reason I was late getting home) I stopped at my dad's to pick up track, a transformer, and he had me borrow a train set so he can check mine out and see if it's working ok. The baby thought it was awesome but wanted to touch it SO bad, but, she can't! She did pretty good just watching it though! Our tree is in a room that is gated off from her and the dogs so I won't have to worry about it. I'm bummed I didn't get to the challenge, but I will do it tomorrow.

    How do I feel about my day? I got a ton done again today. My power walk was due to having to rush from a parking meter to the school board office and back before my 30 minute parking meter ran out. I made it, out of breath, but I made it :) I also had to go to the optometrist and get my glasses adjusted because I have lost just enough weight in my face they are falling off. I finished my night out at the bar with my guy watching him and his crew do some stand up comedy. I made my drinks fit in my calorie limit this time too :)

    How do I feel about my day? I was just exhausted today for some reason (well I have been going to bed late the past few days). It just caught up to me and we were so snugglie on the couch! Also I don't even know if I could have done the challenge, my legs were killing me!! I was thinking of substitution the 100 jumping jax for 100 abs since my legs are not cooperating.

    Did I follow my diet today? I was way under cal today, but I have some great tips from great friends on my wall on how to prevent this in the future.
    Did I drink enough water?I had a ton of water today
    Cardio: (what and how long) I walked for over an hour
    Abs: (any ab work and how much) Yep, The challenge planks
    Challenge completed? I found today that I will have to alter part of the challenge. I have very weak arms due to surgery and still have restrictions on what I can and cannot do. I got 2 burpees in and realized they were a terrible idea, so I added some extra planks. I will have to find something else to do for the pushups on day 7 as well. I might use small hand weights for that day. And My GOSH do my shins burn! All this jumping is not something they are used to! haha
    Did I take my vitamin? Before bed.
    How do I feel about my day? I feel great about my day. Just worked, avoiding snacking. One of the ladies brought in doughnuts, which I passed up. A few months ago I would have had 2 or 3. But when I got to the end of my day and saw how low my calorie count was, I was wishing for a doughnut haha. I will figure the food part of this out eventually. And I am glad I am under instead of way over. I can learn to eat more of the right food, but would be sad if I still had to give up what I love.

    Abs: (any ab work and how much) nope
    Challenge completed? my legs were fine today but my back is still screwed up so I couldn't do it. I was sad mad! I took some ibuprofen and flexerol to no avail.

    Did I take my vitamin? Yes before bed
    How do I feel about my day? It's Friday, yay! One day closer to Christmas. I'm hoping the weather cooperates with me so I can get on the roof and put up the last of the Christmas lights! It was a good day at work. Very VERY busy but good. People are really starting to notice my weight loss, especially my legs, and my face! lol That makes me feel so much more motivated because I know I'm getting back to my "old" self that I haven't seen in a decade or more!

    How do I feel about my day? I got to go to a movie with the boyfriend, and that was a ton of fun. We saw "Kill Your Darlings". But I feel like a goober for falling and hurting my knees. If the swelling is down tomorrow, I will start back on the challenge. For now I am limited to walking and planking.

I like never drink alcohol anymore, jeez, one Mike's hard and I'm hot and feeling buzzed. It was fun running around with the kids, there were so many kids! And there was a little boy 2 months older than my daughter and they had so much fun together. I have to work Sunday which sux because I want to go to Chain of light with my hubby and kiddo (holiday celebration in town). I'll figure something out though!!

I can't believe Christmas is going to come so soon! So much left to do. It's pretty clear who's making out good this year, totally the baby! LOL, I guess that's how it goes! I'm hoping my back get's better soon....but this big storm coming is NOT helping my situation (damn arthritis)...
