    I can't believe I am so far behind in checking in here. Things have been a little crazy busy lately
    and looks like the rest of the week will be the same. I have been eating lunches and dinners out
    and choosing the right foods has been a struggle. I got on the scale and was not happy. It
    has been making me miserable to see those numbers go up. I have to get a handle on this
    and another time of going away again next week for American Thanksgiving and Black Friday
    shopping. Sorry I have been amiss in checking in but I hope things will calm down a bit and
    I can do better.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? NO, Out for lunch and dinner and Christmas shopping.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No, I did only walking so no exercise
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? Had fun with my friend shopping.
    What would I have done differently? Made better choices for lunch and dinner
    What are today's personal goals? Healthy choices, drink my water, No exercise today.



    Mon - 37 min Walking + 15 min biking
    Tues - Christmas shopping, only walking (1.5 miles in steps)
    Wed - Today cleaning my upstairs, no vigorous exercise.

    Hi there! I have been, and will be, MIA for awhile. I have been moving, and now I'm preparing to have some ankle surgery. I'm setting my calorie limit to maintain for the rest of the year, so I won't meet my goal here (unless it is by accident). I wish you all well on your Fall goals, and I will check in again on the Winter thread next year!

    It has been a special Thanksgiving treat to check out all of your posts. A few of us are crazy busy it seems. At least I get a 4 day weekend to catch up with normal life. The one thing I have kept up with was Aquafit and logging except for this Tuesday I had a deadline and last friday I didn't get home til midnight and logged late.

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? No exercise no healthy home cooking.
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? went shopping for healthy Thanksgiving dishes I am bringing to the Family Thanksgiving.
    What would I have done differently? Not much to be done about things until my jobs settle down
    What is today's personal goals? Be as active as possible and eat as best I can at Thanksgiving family gathering. longterm:exercise 6 days a week, healthy food, water

    GW at the end of the Fall I am changing this to maintaining my weight and keeping off the 5 pounds that I am fighting off right now.

    I'm glad you liked the recipe KeriA - I made it again last night so that I would have something handy to eat this week for various meals.
    Goldk - great news at your physical! (not about the colonoscopy -but everything else!)
    I exercised like crazy last week and it seemed to pay off with the scale inching down a bit instead of up over Thanksgiving. I actually did a pretty good job on Thanksgiving day, but then the weekend after was tough and I didn't eat the best. I am hoping it doesn't show up on the scale for my weigh-in tomorrow morning cuz I was very happy to see some downward progress on the day after Thanksgiving.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? no, ate really weird all day
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? went to step, made quiche to help me get back on track
    What would I have done differently? lots of crackers and butter - and didn't need 2 helpings of soup
    What is today's personal goals? check in,taking a rest day for exercise, measure and eat appropriate amounts of protein, carbs and fats
