    It's too early for me to be able to call out a favorite NSV this month. (I usually go to bed pretty early and not everyone has posted), but there are several very good ones. If you haven't had a chance to read them for this month, please do so. I think you'll be inspired! :love:

    I will be putting this in the "what's on your mind today?" thread too. What might be the motivation behind the actions of 4 main types of food pushers. (you would know best the most-likely re people in your own circle. From the MFP blogs / articles page.

    https://blog.myfitnesspal.com/types-of-food-pushers-during-the-holidays-and-how-to-respond/

    For the "trying to show love via food / I'm stuffed now but can you pack me a slice to take home for later" scenario .... there is nothing to say WHICH "waist vs waste" container it went into once you got home ..... ;)

    * 45 min jog, walk & stretch.
    *Meditation and journaling
    * Under calories
    * Tracked every blt
    * Monitored sugars and finally under!

    After almost 3 months at maintaince I h've decided I want to loose another 3.2 kgs. The last few weeks I hve been kinda doing maintaince and kinda doing weight loss and I think restricting and not hving a clear plan with goals, time frames etc has been making me overeat. I intend to do it very slow and steady so I dnt trigger my binge eating!! Fingers crossed xo

    @donna25trinity

    You’ve got this Donna! 🌟 Super insight into what YOU need to do for you now. Looking forward to encouraging you on your success!

    The NSVs posted on yesterday’s entry were the best and most inspiring I have seen. What a wonderful feeling of celebration with everyone. Thank you to each of you who shared. 💛

    Thursday December 16

    I too can’t believe we are at the halfway point in December. 😳 Don’t get me wrong — time passing quickly is a good thing when we are in challenging experiences. 🎄

    ✅ Tracked it all — but SO frustrated with MFP and the absence of reliable data exchange. Goodness knows how much I am leaving in the bank today but I KNOW I am not over

    ✅ Calories

    ✅ Exercise - Had a 20 minute indoor walk this morning. It is -28C with the windchill right now 🥶). I just finished an additional 30 minutes on the treadmill (while watching The Great Canadian Baking Challenge: irony defined)….

    Hope you feel so much better tomorrow @taurie and that your surgical recovery stay in the hospital is successful @tahm42

    Using my 3rd pass day today as I didn't get in any intentional exercise. Got the Pfizer booster this morning so decided to take it easy. I did manage to get 8000+ steps, mainly because I had some shopping I needed to do. Arm sore and starting to feel a little yucky this evening. Temp is 99.5 right now and I'm having the chills so will probably go up higher. Hope I get a decent night's sleep tonight!

    Tracked - Yes
    Within calories - Yes

    This cold weather is brutal eh @jamcnewman ... I got outside too this morning but it's scary cold tonight.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 23 minutes walking, 35 minutes Peloton.. short on my step goal due to aforementioned cold and lack of drive to make up for it in other ways.. will see if I muster up the energy for anything more :)
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes

    Exercise: o:) steps were extra-EXTRA LLLLOOOOOWWWW today (the book was sooooooo good!) However I DID get in 25 minutes on the exercise bike before midnight (only let MPF count it as "1 min / 6 cals").
    Logged: o:) All logged
    In Range: o:) both food AND exercise were a bit on the light side (did I mention how good my book was? No eduational value at all. Definitely a "self-care day") But enough that MFP isn't "mad at me for under eating"

    Pass Day 8. Much the same story as the day before. I had a field day and planned too much food for the day. And then needed to stop and use a bathroom so had to buy something and bought a hot chocolate and drank it and it was delicious. And I'm up another 0.8 pounds. It is amazing how quickly they can come back these days!

    Exercise: 15 minute MommaStrong workout, probably 45 minutes of walking
    Tracking: I did track the whole day
    Calories: Over

    I am not eating any takeout for takeout Friday today, so that should help. My wife and kids are getting takeout from a restaurant that does not particularly tempt me and I will eat delicious food we have in the house.

    I am also inspired by all the NSVs yesterday and also by everyone getting their boosters. I still need to do that.

    I'm hoping that by the time you read this, you both are feeling much better! :mask:


    @jamcnewman and @ashleycarole86
    it's dangerously cold..... I don't know how you do it living so far north! Brrrrr! I'm such a wimp this winter.... we've had 2 days in the 50's and I've gone out for a short walk... but other than that, it's been the dreadmill. Lol.

    @Arc2Arc wow, walking in a snowstorm! You should've shared some pics with us! (those of us, like me, who don't want to go out into the C.O.L.D. :lol: But seriously, kudos to you!!!
