    I'm starting November a bit up from my last October weight, but I think I'm ok with it. Have had a hard time saying no to treat this Halloween and the weekend came with many costume parties that I let myself indulge at. But I did my boot camp class this morning and I know that I will make it down again sooner or later so I'm letting it roll off my back...

    Starting weight...

    My October challenge turned out well even though I was visiting family for over a week. Cookies everywhere, and I still managed to lose.
    I'm doing Wednesday weigh-in:
    Nov. 2: 162 lb.

    Decided I've had enough of this cough/sore throat crap (it's been a week) and I can't get in as a new patient at my hubbys' docs til JAN! So I went to a Walgreens Take Care Clinic today.. I have broncitis and strep :/ Bleh. That sucks cause I really wanted to go to Zumba tonight. Oh well, rest and soup and no work tomorrow per docs orders..

    @ BrunetteWife - Hope you feel better!

    I survived the Halloween weekend without eating one piece of candy! I'm so proud of myself...mini Snickers are my downfall.

    Happy Wednesday, All!!

    :happy: Day 2 check-in. No exercise to speak of today but my foods have been

    mostly raw and lots of water so feelin' good about that. My goal for

    tomorrow is 90 minutes of combined cardio & weights and stick to my

    raw foods as much as possible. Lots & lots of water. I have started back

    on organic vegetable broth in the evening along with tea. I think I need to try

    and get more sleep and will set the priority up to 8 hours at least 3 nights a week:wink:

    What are your priorities this week? Wanna share? Have a happy Thursday all!:bigsmile:

    My challenge to myself is to get back to the gym this weekend. As it's the only practical source of exercise for me at the moment I really need to make the time to get there. There was a time a few years ago when I was going 4 or 5 times a week but alas that fell by the wayside. So, fellow MFPers, I am posting this in the hope that public accountability will spur me on.

    Quick update on my Strep and Bronchitis.. I have meds and no longer contagious. So I've been cleared to go back to work/gym/etc. Not feeling 100%, but I'm slowly getting there.

    I'm back to 138.5. I was that a week ago but the Halloween weekend put me back up to 142. After eating healthy and exercising for the past 4 days most of the weight came off. I'm sure a lot of it was water weight but I'm happy to have this challenge to focus on eating well and having enough of a deficit to lose a pound a week. I have a Thanksgiving dinner next week for my son's hockey team. Then, I'll be in Boston after that and then Thanksgiving dinner the next week. Yikes. One day at a time---but I think I need to take advantage of days that I don't have much going on and exercise more and eat healthy stuff.
    Good luck to everyone!!! Love hearing about people's progress.

    People have begun bringing in their leftover Halloween candy into work. Big bowls worth are everywhere I turn.

    How rude & cruel of them! Don't they know some of us are trying to lose weight!?!?!...:wink:

    Well this is day 3 of the Nov. lose 5 pound challenge and so far I am doing ok. Have stuck with my excercise regimen and have done really well with my diet. Just home from work now and I am so sleepy, really wanting to skip the exercise tonight but I know I have to do it! Will resume my 30DS tonight as I had to put it on hold the last couple of days due to an injured toe (which ended up only being bruised badly and not broken). So it will be treadmill and Jillian for me tonight! Good luck to all who are participating :-)

    Weigh in this morning-- 175 lbs. Not sure what day of the week i want to weigh in. I think i will start doing it on Thursdays. I hate the Monday/tues. weigh-in when u were not your best all weekend. I'm sure some of you can understand lol.
    Question how often do we weigh in for a monthly challenge? Just at the end of the month or wat?
    If anyone wants a friend i'm new here and need some so feel free to add me.
    I find that a good day to weigh in is Friday....after a good week of working out and before a possible "bad" weekend ;)
