    Goldk - I'm glad your husband is home, I hope he keeps doing better. I know exactly what you mean about it feeling good to get back to the Y ... it seems like my last 2 weeks have been absolutely crazy, and not done yet ... but I get to the Y whenever I can and I feel sane again.
    I didn't have the best willpower over Christmas, cookies really got to me - but other than the cookies I did really well and saw some small losses on the scale - so super happy with that. New Year's Eve tomorrow to deal with, and then I go to New York this weekend with my daughter for 4 days! I think I will have a hard time there with food. I'm excited to go, but also kind of looking forward to after the trip when things can get back to my normal routine.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? I didn't track, but I think I did ok.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? didn't set one
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? made quiche and protein shakes for the next few days
    What would I have done differently? I ate too many carbs - hot chocolate, and some crackers, and ate too late
    What is today's personal goals? stay under in calories & already did step and body pump at the Y


    Sun- rest day
    Mon - 45 min step & 30 min body pump
    Tues - 60 min step
    Wed - rest
    Thurs - 60 min step & 30 min body pump
    Fri - 60 min step
    Sat - On my way to New York! probably get in quite a bit of walking once we get there

    It was great to read all of the updates from everybody! Wishing you all good health and happy hearts in the new year. We head to Florida for 6 - 8 weeks on Sunday so will be away from the "busyness" and routine and will be doing a lot more walking and relaxing so should have no excuse to not get healthier!

    Hi Everyone! My ankle surgery went well last month, and I have been cleared by physical therapy to get back on the stationary bike (gradually). I also hope to slowly build up time on walks. I hated not exercising (though I did some arm stretching and sit-ups, not enough to log), and I'm glad to be back on the check-in!

    Happy New Year!!!

    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? First five minutes on the stationary bike since surgery
    What would I have done differently? More fruits and veggies
    What are today's personal goals? Go light on the treats in the break room at work (YES, they are STILL there!!!) and do some time on the stationary bike at PT today

    Goal weight at the end of Winter check-in (3/19?)- 155 (my ultimate goal)

    Mon - none
