    Okay so today was not a good food choice day for me. Let's just say it was a very FREE day!! However I did go for a walk for the first time since my ankle surgery and it felt WONDERFUL!!!. Plan on doing that again real soon. Beautiful weather here in Nebraska, 66 degrees. Only thing that was missing today was my son, who lives in New York City and was not able to come home, but he did Skype me and we talked for about 45 minutes. Thankful for all my MFP friends and all the support and love from all of you. Going to kick my butt into high gear and hope to be 10 pounds down by Christmas. Hopefully all of you had an awesome day also.

    Hope everyone was able to enjoy Thanksgiving. Congrats on the walk Deebear. Well, I'm craving salad and fruit so I think my carefree and overindulgent eating of the past few days is over. Tomorrow I intend to track my liquid intake and eat better. Goodnight!

    The rules........

    1 . My first couple goals will include staying at 1500 calories or so, drinking 128 oz of water & exercising 2 times a day..

    2. 1 Good Habit will be to eat dinner early enough to take a walk afterwards.

    3. I will try to check in everyday !!!! good or bad .

    4. I have mastered taking a day off of exercise!

    Here's my update since Friday:
    1.Well, I have pretty much gone over calories lately, we will just say that!
    2. Today I walked my dog once and not at all yesterday so she isn't happy with me!!
    3. I'm checking in today to say that I enjoyed my Thanksgiving and everyone around me but I am very comfortable eatingTOO MUCH & exercising daily. (somethings gonna give)
    4. I really really don't see a rest day in my near future.

    I AM trying to make November a great month but somehow it's ending the way October did! I am not getting ahead!
    How did you do Elimay??

    WE'RE DOING THIS CHALLENGERS!! Elimay, you are doing awesome as well!!

    Hey Gang!

    I think I am finally coming out of my food coma from Thanksgiving.....I pretty much broke all the rules over the last 2 days so I am trying to get back on track for the rest of the weekend. Only plus was I did get in at least an hour of cardio every day.

    Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and survived Black Friday!

    Hey Elimay, gorgeous new photo.

    Gone way over on cals today - and I do mean way over. That prediction thing when you complete your diary says that I'll be putting back on 3 lbs if I carry on!!! Can't be having that, need to sort myself out. Was helping out at a kiddies birthday party so pizza, cakes and wine, not good. Going to try to start my day with a workout tomorrow and then try my hardest to eat healthier.

    Hope the rest of you are doing much better than me, I'm sure that you are :smile:

    I was better today, although not perfect. Picked up some veggies to enjoy tomorrow. Will try to log food in again tomorrow, and may even hop on the scale. Seems like baby steps, but something is better than nothing.

    Finally a good day!

    1-Drank 65 oz of water
    2-spent 45 minutes doing intervals on the elliptical and did one last turn with the mower picking up leaves. My legs are spent at this point.
    3-record food intake-yep and I was under calories. First time in days!
    4-cook-yeah not so much. It was still left overs from Tgiving. Only about 1 more day and then the fridge will be clear of that.

    Hope the final few days of November go well for everyone! Keep up the good work!

    Drank a lot of water, made healthy food choices during the day, and didn't eat any potato chips today. Tomorrow I intend to go to the gym. Looks like I'm getting back on track. Also. I'm finding if I start the day with a large glass of water (and then coffee), I'm more likely to keep up with the water intake. who knew it would be so hard to drink enough water during the day?!
