    @minstrelofsarcasm Congrats!!! That’s a lot of hard work! Will you be working out of a local gym or doing it freelance?

    ...

    Non-Scale Victory - I realized yesterday that my dress pants felt looser. Up to this point I’ve lost all the weight (15 pounds total) in my face and boobs with zero change to my waist and hip measurements. It had been 3 weeks since I’d measured, and I’ve been lazier with the food and had only lost 2 lbs in the last 3 weeks. Well….I may have only lost 2 lbs in 3 weeks, but I lost 1.5” around the waist and an inch on my hips! 😁

    @sydditt -

    First, congrats on the NSV! Actually feeling the changes makes such a difference when it comes to motivation, doesn't it? So happy for you!

    As for what I'll be doing with the certification, I'm not sure yet. I'm not quitting my day job, but I definitely have the bandwidth to teach a couple group fitness classes or design a weekly workout program independently if I choose to. Originally, my plan was to become a coach at my local F45, but I am keeping my options open until my life calms down a bit after the holidays. Life decisions are not a December thing.

    What are you favorite workouts, and do you all have indoor equipment to workout on? I’m struggling with the short days!

    I completely forgot to respond to this.

    I've been a bit all over the place when it comes to working out. I started in boutique fitness studios: CycleBar, OrangeTheory, F45, SPENGA... I still go from time to time, but now I'm mostly in a standard gym and split my time 60/40 between resistance and cardio training of my own design. I've also got a personal trainer who helps me push myself.

    During the onset of the pandemic, I acquired a bunch of indoor equipment so I could get a workout in from home. I have a couple yoga mats, a foam roller, a set of dumbbells, two (three?) sets of resistance bands, and a kettlebell. There's a LOT that you can do with the basics.

    @minstrelofsarcasm and @melaniedscott please change my weigh in day to Saturday. I had been doing Sunday. My logical math brain keeps feeling confused with a Sunday weigh in day 😂😆 as far as how our ‘weeks’ for losing weight go.
    Thanks!

    @daria0919 - You got it! You may weigh in on this coming Saturday if you'd like - it will replace the update you provided this past Sunday - otherwise your first official weigh-in for December is December 9th.

    I don't think I did my weight check in this week. It has been very busy at work and home. I have my work Christmas party tonight. Its bowling, I'm not sure if I will be able to bowl. I am in so much from my back down through my left leg. I am getting a shot in my back on Thursday. Hoping it helps but not hopeful. I would love to start walking again.

    It has been snowing and I was working from home yesterday so only went out for a short walk to the shops. I did carry two heavy bags home but that was about all regarding exercise and waking. I didn't eat all that much during the day but had lasagna and ½ a garlic baguette for dinner and then had red wine, crispy snack things and jelly sweets in the evening.

    Thank goodness for telework. Friday, I managed to actually get 5k steps in, mostly because my husband came downstairs and forced me to go for a walk with him! When I telework I can sleep in a half hour later, get a 20 min spin in, shower and still be at my computer on time.

    Last night we went out for a nice dinner and had a bottle of red wine. Oh my aching head this morning! I’ve practically stopped drinking during the week. I drink really dry reds, but even they’ve started tasting too sweet and cloying. I love going wine tasting, and sharing a glass with my husband and friends. I guess I really don’t need the empty carbs right now, but I still feel a little sad.
