    So, it's been a few days since I checked in. I have been over in calories. I missed working out yesterday, and today is one of my days off of working out. Tomorrow is a new day, and I am going to plan better for my day!

    Tonight was date night so blew through calories. There was no point in even attempting to log in my food tonight. I know its bad, but I don't feel guilty. I also had a bad night's sleep, so sleep deprivation probably contributed to my opting to make today my chip day (which I didn't stick to just one serving). So, while I lost the pound I gained from Sunday, I suspect it will be revisiting the scale tomorrow morning.

    This challenge really is a challenge this month now that we are starting to entertain more as we get closer to Thanksgiving. I have a dinner guest coming tomorrow night, so I'll have to try to pay attention to how much I serve myself. Its so easy to get distracted and keep taking more without realizing how much I've actually consumed. I don't want to keep gaining and losing the same pound this month, so hopefully tomorrow I'll utilize some self-control and make conscious food choices.

    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 but I'm okay because I burned a decent amount.
    Today I walked my dog before dinner and dragged along my lazy daughter.
    Today I'm checking in an reporting that I am okay with my choices, I did a lot of extra eating here & there but I can't go back!
    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 8: I did 60 mins cardio, crunches, and strength training. I drank 64 ounces of water, ate smething before the four hour maximum between meals, and logged all I ate. I'm still planning my meals in advance, and have started to carry healthy snacks in my handbag. It was a good day.

    Morning all:

    So I went a bit over on calories yesterday. I'm on the road again today for about 8 hours of driving and meetings-brought along a sandwich, almonds and some fruit so hopefully I will do better today. I did meet my goal for water yesterday-seemed like I was thirsty all day long so I drank 5 bottles of water. I had spin class yesterday morning and still jumped on the elliptical last night for about 30 minutes so my legs are tired today. I did 45 minutes on the elliptical but not as hard as pace this morning. Plus I walked to work in the snow/sleet so welcome to winter!

    Hope everyone has a great Wednesday. Keep up the good work!

    I just realized i forgot to check in yesterday, strange.

    Elimay i am totally impressed how you find little things to say to everyone! Great work.
    Not that everyone else isn't encouraging too, but just wanted to compliment you and that.

    Okay day 8: didn't start bad but after the threat from a coworker, i got indian take out with a friend. Lovely, but not great for the calories.
    Drinking went okay, got used to drinking 3 cups of tea at work, so thats helping a little.
    Sleeping enough not a problem, after dinner i went home and went straight to bed.

    Day 9: started okay again, realized i forgot lunch and my bad solution became a candy bar. The craving for chocolate stayed with me, so i ate a lot of minibars when i got home (before dinner). Not to smart.
    Dont have to get really early tomorrow, so sleeping will be okay.
    Drinking, well just got to do better.

    Hope everyone is doing great again!

    Forgot to check-in too, Raven!
    I had to go out and buy some things for work.

    I did okay yesterday, stayed under and excersized (:
    Did the good habits, too.

    Today, I kinda failed xD
    It;s not even noon, and I only have around 200 calories left for the day LOL.
    Oh well, I'll go running later on.

    Think I missed checking in yesterday, but been so tired this week I suppose i just forgot.

    8th - Stayed under on cals and got in a good workout, including starting week 2 of C25K.

    9th - not so good :frown: over on cals caused by bad choices, and it was a rest day so no exercise cals either. Just done 250 ab crunches to help ease my guilt.

    Limiting the caffeine is definitely not going to plan, maybe that was just a step too far and i should choose a different habit.

    Hope everyone is well, and hope you have stopped puking Elimay!

    I didn't workout today, but did stuff around the house so hopefully some of that counts. I logged in everything I ate, and was over but not too badly. If I can get some sleep in tonight, then I anticipate tomorrow being a better day. Hope everyone else had a good day.

    Feel better Elimay! Hope your doctor appointment goes well.

    Thank you I had a good dr app, 3 perscriptions :grumble: But the good thing is I could qualify for a tummy tuck because my extra skin is causing me problems I have a consult in a week or 2 :bigsmile:
