I didn't go out for Thanskgiving, just made some Trader Joe's turkey, stuffing, gravy, and mashed potatoes. So I was easily able to keep calories under control.
I have been sick since Tuesday, finally feeling like a human this morning, so exercise has been lax. Walking up and down the stairs feels like a 5k this week. haha.0 -
ok, so i did ok at thanksgiving yesterday (well, bad for me, good for a "normal" person)....
i had duck and ham and potatoes and lasagna and bread and sausage and pumpkin pie and apple pie.....
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
i only got a tiny serving of each different thing, so even though i didn't count calories, i don't think i went over 1800 all day, which is what i was allowed to have anyway :bigsmile:
i also made sure to get lots of fruits and veggies, too :flowerforyou:
oh, and my cousin called me "gaunt"....i thought it was funny
hope everyone else had a happy thanksgiving!!!0 -
Thanksgiving was a blast! Good company, GREAT food, and even a little exercise. While we waited for lunch, my cousin and I played tennis. then I played withbnmy other cousin twister.
Half a plate of veggies, rest covered with thanksgiving goodness. Only one plate and I was full. Now I have leftovers to parcel out the rest of the week.
Today is black friday, so tree, decorating, and cleaning are in store. Have a good one!0 -
Sounds like my American Ravenclaws had a good Thanksgiving! Awesome!
I'm going to start my Christmas Shopping now. I have a few things already but I really need to get down to it. I need to do my Christmas cards too...this time of year is so busy!
I hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
I had to go out shopping in today's crowds, not for Christmas - but for supplies for a science lab. :noway: Its crazy out there today! UGHHH!! At least our recent challenges have shown me that I CAN park at the back of the lot and do the walking! :laugh:0

Christmas tree is decorated! Feeling good, although I think I twisted my knee playing tennis the other day. Gravel is not good for the body.
Tomorrow I have zumba. Have a good night!0 -
- sorry Ravenclaws but it looks like I'm out. I broke my ankle (in 2 different places) on my run yesterday morning. Trying the whole caste thing but doctor said be prepared for surgery . . . so that's even longer . . . I'm really trying NOT to go to a bad place in my mind- but this REALLY sucks!!!!
I hope that you are not in pain and that you heal soon.

Weighing in today at 152 - up half a pound. I seem to have hit a plateau - I'm gaining and losing the same 1 or 2 pounds each week. :ohwell: I guess in light of my Thanksgiving feast, half a pound is not too bad.
Food: 3
Exercise: 0 (no exercise for the week after surgery)
Spirit: 7
OWLs: 10
House Points: 135
December goal: 150 - AGAIN!! This has been my goal since September! I WILL see 150 by the end of the year!! Its just 2 pounds away - I know I can do this!0 -
Whew, I've been all out of sorts lately. And while I'm sure it did nothing good for my weight loss, I totally enjoyed my Thanksgiving without a thought of anything else. My only real goal is to stay under 230 by the end of the month (yay 20s! don't remember ever being in the 20s).
I've gotta get my brain back on the challenges, though, or else I'll lose my steam, and we just can't have that.0 -
Oh, yeah. Goals.
Goal weight for end of December: 320
BTW- had parsnip leek soup the other day. Man that was good stuff! Never had either, but together they were wonderful. Strongly recommend.0 -
Week 4 results:
Weight: 143.5 no change... which is really disappointing since I was sick all week.
House Points: 80
Owls: 11
My goal for December, I'm going to go with 140.0 -
Hello Revenclaw, I'm here for my daily check-in
I feel like I've been neglecting all of you, it is just a busy time of year. I did manage to go to Aquafitness this morning before we had to go help out my husband's father with a few things.
And now to get Christmas Cards underway!

Reporting in for the week. Since I'm on maintenance my goal is to stay in between 130-135 now. Two days after Thanksgiving and now on my TOM I'm still hitting the scale at 132.4, so I stayed in my range and was able to indulge.
I'm not going to report any OWLs this week....I didn't seem to have time to keep track.
However I will post House Points for the Quidditch Match.
