    Well, I stayed at the same weight. More evidence for me that I cannot skip tracking or exercise.
    This is the one place where I want to be a LOSER.

    No gain is always a victory in my book.
    A friend of mine said this last week when my weight stayed the same. :D
    I'm up 0.6. :(

    Good day!!! I (slowly) jogged 6 miles and stayed under my calorie limit.
    Hope you don't get what the grand kids had.

    Son called today to tell me they tested positive for covid. I have 15 people coming for Tgiving. Or maybe I dont….. will start testing every day and see what unfolds.

    I am impressed with six miles Randi. Well done!! I confess I didnt exercise or track today. I have been so tired I ended up slugging in my chair

    So far so good with the covid testing. Hope we can stay neg for Tgiving
    Another no tracking day. Sometimes I have to take a worthless bum day.

    Sometimes I have to take a worthless bum day it easy and not put so much pressure on myself.
    There, I fixed it for you. Fingers remain crossed that you stay well. I remember you had Covid when I joined this group, and it took you some time to get your energy back.
    Today was good for me. I was a little over on calories, but I did a ridiculous amount of exercise. I'm going to try an AARP barre exercise class tomorrow. I have no idea what that will be like.

    Negative covid test but runny nose and scratchy throat. Loading up on zicam and airborne. Fingers crossed.

    Cooking cooking cooking. Made cornbread and french bread to tear up for the oyster dressing.
    Two pumpkin pies.
    Getting ready to devil some eggs.
    Will make fruit salad and rolls tomorrow. My husband does the turkey, dressing, green beans, mashed potatoes. And gravy. We will have a houseful.

    I so admire your exercise work ethic Randi. Thanks for the encouragement

    Have a great Thanksgiving, Cat. We are going to my husband's sister's house. I'm the only vegetarian, so instead of bringing a vegetarian entree, I'm going to bring a protein smoothie and drink that with my plate of vegetables. It worked for me last Thanksgiving and allowed me to stay on track. She doesn't have desserts that I like, so that's a bonus. I'll just have to get all my exercise in during the morning.
    Today was another good day. :)

    Counting my blessings and trying again tomorrow

    You didn't have time to track! I'm glad you were able to have a great holiday.
    Thanksgiving went well for me. It's much easier for vegetarians! :D

    Hey Randi, I was vegan for a while when I went on The McDougal Plan to get my blood pressure under control. The mechanics of the diet were not hard to follow, but this little gal who grew up on a cow farm really missed her hamburgers. We ate them for breakfast when I was a kid! My brother still runs the farm, so there is never a shortage of beef around here. I gave up trying to fight it and gave in to taking BP meds.

    I was never a meat lover so giving it up hasn't bothered me one bit. I would have a hard time not eating yogurt, eggs, and cheese, though, so I haven't tried veganism. My older daughter is vegan. She and her vegan boyfriend will be with us for Christmas, so I will have to brush up on my vegan cooking skills!
    I didn't track today because some days I JUST DON'T WANT TO! In spite of that, I think calories were probably okay.

    My daughter was vegan for 5 years, until she decided to try to get pregnant and her doc didnt approve. My old standbys were baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon, steamed kale with a drizzle of oil snd lemon juice, baked butternut squash, roasted brussels sprouts, and colcannon without the cheese. One or two of these at each meal with a salad and she never complained.

    I went over on calories. We went out for Indian food for dinner. It was delicious. I hope you did better than I did. :)

    I had a salt bloat today, so I didn't bother getting weighed. I knew it would just make me mad! :D I had to skimp on exercise today because I didn't sleep well and was just exhausted. Food was okay. It will be an early night for me.zp907hcmlsfu.jpg

    We are doing our annual trip for Christmas fun….Scottish Christmas parade, nighttime boat parade of lights on the river, shopping and our favorite five star restaurants. There will be lots of walking but no tracking.
    Starting Monday,I am planning a big reform.

    Good morning. Ann, it is nice to have you back. I am so sorry to hear about what you have been going through and hope that your husband gets diagnosed and treated soon.
    My only complaint is my weight which is slowly but surely drifting upward.Today, I am up 1.9 pounds since my last weigh in. :(
