    Day 6: Welcome back DeeBear! Glad to hear your leg is healing well. I know from experience I can't have a free day because I get too free with my eating. I did cardio and crunches, drank water, ate my planned meals and logged everything. After dinner I had a piece of my daughter's homemade cake - unplanned - and logged it. I kept it to a very small slice, a lot smaller than I would normally have eaten. I'm looking forward to the second week of the November challenge!

    Thanks everyone for reacting.
    Reporting for day 7 (and the first week):
    - drinking better (if i count my tea)
    - calories just in the green
    - did yoga (more then in october)
    - went to bed early just as planned and catched up on some sleep.

    So not to shabby, i can do better but a good start of the new week.

    Good luck everyone in the new week!

    Hey guys, not had a great few days really but only to be expected as I was away for the weekend. Been snacking all day, so I've gone over on my cals and far too tired to do any exercise. Hoping to be back on track tomorrow, starting with a decent cardio workout as soon as I get up.

    Rage cleaned my entire studio apt this morning.
    But then had a few slices of pizza when my boyfriend brought it home after school.
    Ah, well. Still in my calorie limit for today, with lots to spare!

    Keep up the great work guys! I know we can do it! :flowerforyou:

    Sorry you had to use rage as your motivation100zrr, but amused to read the phrase "rage cleaned". Good outlet for anger.

    Today was better. Got in 25 minutes of cardio this morning, and am under calories. I calculated a little more cardio later in the day when I hand-grated some potatoes for dinner (there was an actual category for cooking). Assuming I don't get tempted by joining my husband when he gets home to eat, then I am done for the day and did well. And yesterday's over-indulgence (just about doubled my daily allotment) added a pound, but figure going back to normal eating will get rid of it just as quickly (I hope).

    Under calories.
    Walked/ran for 35 minutes.
    Turned down my husband's offer to pick up ice cream for dessert tonight and had popcorn instead.
    Drank water, but not as much as I should have.
    Pretty good day.:happy:

    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 haven't mastered taking a day off of exercise yet!

    Today I ate a bit over my calories because it didn't start out so great !!
    Today I didn't walk my dog after dinner but I took care of MYSELF and went to the gym.
    Today I'm checking in an reporting that I turned it around today, I planned on jumping back in bed after a 2nd breakfast!
    Today I can't think of a day this week that should be a "rest day".
    I hope everyone else had a good day today!! Elimay? How'd you do??

    I WILL make November a great month !!!!!!!!!!!

    Day 7: I'm grateful today that I can think of all of you and be motivated to eat well. I chose not to have cake with dinner and by doing so met all my goals today. I'm learning to ask myself what do I want more: to get to my goal weight and maintain it, or the temporary pleasure of sweets. This challenge is making me conscious that I do have a choice. I figure there'll be some not so good days, but I'll take it one day at a time.

    Wow, just when I thought I could eat your cake-you go & mention "what do I want more"? and I remember that I need to ask the same question. Thank you

    Today started off really well, I weighed in and was down 2.2 for the week hooray! But then I ate a big breakfast, went out to lunch, and had a root beer float after dinner. I might have to make Monday a cheat day because my husband is off work and we usually go out...I didn't do as bad as most Mondays though, so that's good. I'll be back into it tomorrow!!

    Sorry I missed checking in for a few days.....I set myself for a rotten week at work and feel wiped out. I am on the road nonstop for visits with clients. I want to eat when I am in the car so I have to fight myself not to graze all day. And water is fun as I don't like to use the bathrooms at my clients homes and if I stop at a gas station I feel like i need to buy something.

    I jumped on the bike last night out of necessity to get under my daily calorie total after I added everything up...I really need to try and plan ahead more and stick to it.

    Looks like everyone is having a great month--keep up the good work!
