We leave Thursday to spend Christmas in North Carolina with my parents. I’m looking forward to the cooler weather, we’re still running the air conditioner here in Florida.6 -

I am definitely feeling the December doldrums. I am struggling to get on my mat every morning. It's kind of funny. I will do everything but. However, I know I feel better after I am done, so I have been making myself and you know what...it feels better. Why is it so hard to do the things that we know are good for self care?
I had a good scream session before I began my Pilates. I know. Not for everyone, but it felt good to let off some non-directed steam. Just so tired of this pandemic seemingly never ending. OHHHHHHHmacron! Just be the end of it. Although, I am not kidding myself. No one in my house will feel relieved until I can get my granddaughter immunized so she has protection too. Plus, darkness and December. But, it was just a moment and I know my life is good. So many awful things going on in peoples' lives. I appreciate how lucky I am, but feel the weight of all that so many people in this world are going through. So, after I screamed a bit, I practiced gratitude naming all the things I am grateful for. It sure helps change the mindset. I am a fortunate person. I have a home, food, health, love. What more can someone ask for? We can often find ourselves wrapped up in all we have to do and things we think we need and I totally understand that. But, if you need this reminder, remember to take a moment today and scream (if you need to) and then be grateful for all that is good in your life.
I am grateful for all of you even if I have been a little MIA. Just getting things done. Not being perfect, but doing the best I can for December.
Have a wonderful day my friends. I am wishing you all the best!!

The stress, hormones, and trying to get all the work done before holidays is catching up to me.6 -
Dilemma. My weigh in is tomorrow morning, but I’ll also do a 25 mile bike ride first thing.
Do I eat to lose weight or to have energy?
Rhetorical question. 🙄😂2 -

Wow! I missed a whole day there - I had a better time than I thought I would going to the big city and spending the night before seeing my daughter and her boyfriend off to the airport very early this morning. Then I went back to bed, and had a chance to play a bit of music with a friend before driving home. The snow we are now getting was polite enough to wait for me to get home. Hoping for a good 15 cm (6 inches) tonight
OK. Now that they are gone, the eating of all the things and the partying take a week completely OFF. As of tomorrow, I shall behave. I'm looking forward to feeling back to normal!
Just a few more weigh-ins to submit before tallies (in about 12 hours) -

😁 I knew I was on track for a little loss! I’m already working on next years challenge since I completely ignored this year.4 -
12/17 exercise:
6638 steps + 30 minutes Peloton + 10 minutes strength
12/18 exercise:
10368 steps + 40 minutes Peloton
The weather has been bitterly cold to the point it's not safe to take my dog out and therefore depending on circumstances I've been finding it easier not to take myself out. As I don't have a treadmill I was missing getting my steps but got some good suggestions to try walking in place during TV shows so I'll be using that technique.
Yesterday we had one day of relief from the cold so I took advantage and got much more steps than usual lately. Also did my FTP test on the Peloton and my average output improved quite a bit which tells me my training has been working! Love that.
Lots of prep for Christmas going on here. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!2 -

Our December Week Two Results are in! Click on the link below to check them out!
Here's a sneak peek of how your team did...

The overall results show this was clearly not the most weight-loss focused week for most people, so an extra congrats to @MandiSaysHey @graceojo999 and especially to @happimess01 for hitting the leaderboard two weeks in a row!
Realize a leaderboard loss isn't the only measure of success and for a lot of folks December can be about maintaining or minimizing gain.
Whatever your goals, however you're doing - know that you'll all be on my mind as we get through these next couple weeks!6 -
