I also got some baking done and, yes, I ate some of the cookies. The rest are now in the freezer under a bag of frozen veggies and that's where they will stay until Christmas!

Afternoon all!
I seem to be dropping in and out of MFP with posting but thankfully I am able to log all my food and exercise on my phone so it makes it so much easier. Work Christmas party tonight so that should be fun. It's almost the end of the day here. I've had such a busy few days and feel like I've lost all motivation to do anymore work for the day! Goals for today...
1. Drinks tons of water.
2. Training before work *done*
3. Be productive at work.
4. Be confident with the clothes I am wearing tonight.
5. I know I'm going over on cals so enjoy it and don't stress too much!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes - made me feel very special!! Made me chuckle when I read all your lovely posts but actually it was my friend's birthday
Mine is in September!!
Hope you're all having a great day!!0 -
@Nam - haha Well it's nice to feel special...I couldn't tell, only knew that it was someone's birthday. Have fun at your holiday party! I missed mine being on vacation, but I didn't miss all the money I would have spent on a dress, hair, nails and a hotel bill. So I really think it worked in my favor.
1) Get home safely with people driving on the road in the snow around me
Yeah, that's the most important thing...I'll stick with that. Right now I am debating on working from home or staying.0 -

Hi All,
I've been doing pretty badly this week, I wake up each day deciding that today I am back on track and then it all goes out the window pretty quickly. I've been fretting also because Christmas is coming up and if the food is there I find it very difficult not to eat it. However as of today there is one week until Christmas and that, is loads of time. So I'm going to stop beating myself up and instead do what I can. Maybe the problem (aside from will power) is that I'm bored and its time to mix it up a bit. So with that in mind today's goals are all going to be around new things:
1. Try the next level of 30 day shred and try a new exercise.
2. Buy something healthy that I haven't tried before at the supermarket
3. Put together a new work out play list.
4. Most of all enjoy it. If this is a change of life style, I want it to be a change to having more fun.
Hope you're all having a great weekend.
See you later.

So those were my goals for Thursday and did pretty well on all of them. The xmas party was great fun and it felt great to have lots of compliments. I haven't seen at lot of people at my firm for ages (because they work at a different office) so that was nice. A little too much booze or rather I think it has more of an effect because I have barely been drinking. Anyway it was good fun although it has thrown me off the last couple of days. More of the same next week so I really have to try and train as much as possible.
I had to go to Court this morning and left there at 12pm and got home at 6pm. The journey is normally about 30 mins so it was a complete nightmare. There was basically a snow blizzard and our stupid council didn't think to grit the roads even though everyone has been talking about this snowfall prediction for ages.
Anyway enough rambling and onto weekend goals (even though it's a little late).
1. Sunday training hopefully Body Attack if the class is running.
2. Water water water.
3. I know I will be going over today but only by about 100 cals so must make sure I stay under on Sunday.
4. Rest on Sunday after training to get over the ridiculously busy week last week and to prepare for this week coming up.
5. If the snow let's up and the roads are driveable then try and get out to do some xmas shopping.
Hope you're all having a great weekend and enjoying the festive season!0 -
Haven't been posting daily but I have been sticking with the Couch to 5K program. Finished week 2 yesterday and will start week 3 Monday. Took the dog for a long trudge through the snow today. She actually gave up and went back to the house but I finished the loop around the lake.
Have been doing pretty good on water intake and logging my food. Only bad thing is the Christmas cookies I made last Thursday keep calling me!
Hopefully I'm still on track to lose another 5 or 6 pounds for the month of December.0
