    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. I have not stopped at 1500 calories in soooo long.
    2. I have however stuck to walking my dog!! 2 walks a day almost everyday.
    3. I am checking in saying that my day was okay, even though I just wanted to eat, and now my night is horrible and I want to scream & yell. Oh wait, I did that, and then there were tears....
    4. I honestly don't feel ike I deserve a day off. I eat way too much!

    Sorry to be crabby and grumpy and woe is me. I honestly hope everyone else had a delightful day.

    Elimay? Surely you have good things to say!!

    Got in 40 minutes of cardio. My eating habits were good until I couldn't tune out the bag of chips calling me. Oh, and the cookies my daughter asked me to bake...otherwise I was good. :)

    Hi there.

    Slightly better day, only the one snack. But I only have 65 cals left and I'm sure I will want something else to eat before bed (it's just 7pm here), perhaps I should just go to bed now and then i can't be tempted! Did my usual amount of walking but still don't have the energy for a proper workout.

    Well, it's our last day of November tomorrow, need to decide on my goals for December.

    Lstnlondry - hope you're feeling better, sometimes a little scream helps :wink:

    Here's my update:

    1. Holy Cow I stopped at 1500!!
    2.Only 1 dogwalk today as I decorated my house all foggy morning in my PJs!!
    3. I am checking in saying that I had a good day afterall. There are a couple of kinks within the home, trying to get college apps in, someone is slipping in grades, etc.
    4. I honestly don't feel ike I deserve a day off. I eat way too much! (still)

    I think I am better today than yesterday.

    Happy Tuesday everyone!

    So here's how my day went....

    Ended up working out over 2 hours today between the spin bike, a long walk and time on the elliptical. I had honestly not planned to do that much today but when I added up all my calories today I was in the red big time (stupid end of the month work craziness had me running and munching) so I "punished" myself to get back in the green with time on the elliptical. My legs are very tired right now.

    Drank almost 80 oz of water today so that was good.

    Didn't cook again tonight.....had eggs.

    Hope everyone has a great last day of November!

    Hi All! I've enjoyed the challenge and reading everyone else's posts- Thanks Elimay. Looking forward to December.

    Well, today started off good when I went on the scale. I've lost 2.2 lbs this month (with constant ups and downs). Of course, due to significant sleep deprivation during the night, I kind of threw out any thoughtful eating for the day. But I always have tomorrow and the new month. Clean slate, right?! :) My goal is to be more consistent in December, and try to succumb less to temptation. Good luck to everyone.
