Dream2play, I bet you had fun sparring! It's HARD work. I especially enjoy when my opponent is larger than me. It's such a great challenge!
My day was mediocre at best. I went out for dinner and had Mexican food. I probably didn't make the best decisions. However, tomorrow is a new day. I'm very much looking forward to it.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!0 -

Hawkeyegal - what is hamburger casserole?? I am intrigued.
A potluck staple in my neck of the woods: .hamburger, green beans, cream of mushroom soup topped with tater tots.
I will try and type up some of the ideas from the class when I can keep my eyes open.
Had another 12 hour day of work-7 of that in the car. I had left a ton of paperwork for our assistant to type while I was out but she was feeling tired/stressed and took off early. That means I have to go in even earlier on Monday to try and get the information entered-it is for two guys that will be homeless at the end of the month. Needless to say, my only exercise was the bike trainer before work. By the time I got home I just wanted to crash. I was over on calories. So not a great deal in terms of my goals. This is exactly why I said I need to find time for myself cause right now I am actually sitting here feeling very guilty that I did not try and do more today.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Dont feel guilty just relax ,sounds like you need it :happy: Have a great weekend . I cant think to much about your casserol it sounds yummy

Hi all
stayed under cals today but still no exercise.
Had a great night out last night, bowling was fun even though we were all so bad at it. Tapas at my friend's restaurant was absolutely gorgeous and I ate way too much. In fact my tummy was so full there was no room left for beer and so came home fairly sober, great for today as no hangover, yay.
Not weighed myself for a few weeks, might give it a try tomorrow but I don't think I'm gonna like what I see!!
Hawkeyegal - thanks for telling me what hamburger casserole is, now I just need to know what tater tots are!! We may speak the same language but so many things are different across the water.
Deebear - hope you got all your shopping done. I've just a few more bits to get tomorrow and then I'm done apart from the food shop.0 -
Well, I went a little over on my calories today, but did do my workout so I feel good about that. I will do my 50 situps before I go to bed

Checking in for Saturday and it Looks like everyone had a great day!
I picked up a HRM on ebay that came today so I will be curious to see how close my calorie burn is to what MFP says. Hoping that it will help to get things back on track. So for my work out today I got time on the trainer and went out for a walk. I also did one strength training video. Also....did 150 sit ups and 75 push ups for another challenge.
Went over on my calories-hadn't been hungry all day and then it hit me tonight and I went overboard.
Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
Oh...love the little mini challenges! Thanks0 -
Today went pretty well. I went over on my calories, but only because I had a hot chocolate from McDonalds. I think I deserved it though. I stood outside for five hours ringing bells for Salvation Army. It was freezing! I tried drinking a lot of water, but I was having some trouble. I'm not really sure why, it was just hard to drink it. I didn't get to run like I expected, because hunters decided that they wanted to go hunting on my property. I did manage to get in a great workout though. I think I'll definitely feel it tomorrow. I also did the 50 sit ups, plus some!
Everyone have a great day!0 -

Good morning everyone I have a busy day but I feel really good . Yesterday it came up in red that I didnt eat enough calories, but I felt good about it, I wasnt hungry. Im trying really hard to do kind of southbeach eating program. I do so much better when I have fewer carbs ,Im addicted to carbs :frown: so if im carefull with the kind of carbs its easier for me.
Have an awesome day everyone :flowerforyou: Im going to do my sit ups again today :happy:0 -
Hi December Challengers
under on cals today, although what I've eaten wasn't really very healthy. Must get back on track, I'm sure its the lack of fruit and veg that is causing my low energy levels. Cleaned the whole house today so that was my exercise, going to do some abdominal crunches now instead of your sit ups Elimay if thats ok? I prefer them and will aim to do around 300.
2 days left at work and then off for 8 - yippee!!!!0 -
Forgot to say - I'm in for power knees tomorrow 0
-
good job sammy of course crunches are ok . 300 wow you are good : > Power knees tomorow will be good ,I saw a girl do them on u tube it was a good worout : > I now I feel aweful when I eat bad, but good for you staying under calorie. Did you notice the potatoe tots on my profile pic I put it on there just for you :bigsmile:
8 days off, that is great happy for you !!!!!!!0 -
Hey Gang:
Started using my HRM today.....was really surprised as I burned a lot less calories than MFP listed. That might explain why I have been stuck for so long as I have been eating back my exercise calories. Going to start using the HRM instead for the calories burned. For today, I did the bike trainer and went out for a walk (can't beat the nice weather-it was in the 40s) and did a strength training dvd.
Went over on my calories today-made pasta. So good on one goal not so good on the other I have got to do better at planning my meals as I had about 300 fewer calories to work with.
I finally finished up my xmas cards--woo hoo. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.
I'm in for the challenge tomorrow!
Hope everyone had a great week!0 -
Hi everyone! I am ecstatic today. I managed to exercise as much as I planned, stayed well within my calories, and got my daily dose of water! Finally, I was able to do all three! I weighed in today and lost six pounds since the last time I weighed myself. I'm so glad, only one more pound lost and I'll be out of the overweight range!
I'll be game for the power knees challenge! It sounds like fun!
Everyone have a great day tomorrow!0 -
Good job on sit ups and good day :happy: What is EOD ? Sorry about your cleaner :frown: I hate when things like that happen.
Have a great tommorow.
Thanks! EOD=EVERY OTHER DAY. ;0)
HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL DAY!0 -
Not feeling well but managed to stay on track and get exercise in. Going to bed after game so hopefully I can sleep off this bug! I'm in for Mondays challenge!0
