    Trying to get motivated to get some Christmas shopping done. Just do not like the crowds at all. Last year did all of it on the Internet.

    LOL, I'm the same way - I refuse to go anywhere near a mall between Thanksgiving and New Years - all those people make me clautrophobic :laugh:

    Just got back in town, and I didn't particularly meet any of my goals today, but my calories are in the green, and I stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies and fish on the way home, so I'm set for a fresh start tomorrow! Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!

I played for about five hours. even with my inactive self today tomorrow should be more active and waking up at an earlier time. :happy:

    Thank you Eliminay59 and Clover5!

    Today was my first Christmas party. I don't think I did too bad. I was able to control my portions for the most part. I probably should have drank more water, but oh well. I even got a little exercise in. All in all, today wasn't too bad.

    Have a great Sunday, everyone!

    I didn't track, didn't exercise and probably went over a bit on my calorie goal, but I actually feeling ok about my day. I went to my husband's work party tonight and I made fantastic food choices. The rest of the day was pretty low key. My only food regret was eating on of my kid's quesadillas after I should have been done with lunch. Overall, I had a good day, but I need to get back to tracking and exercising tomorrow. :)

    Good Evening Everyone! I have not been able to post from my phone, but the app did help me get through while my computer was fixed. Its here now and I am proud to tell you that I have stayed on track and Im dying to weigh in I have a feeling that its going to reflect my good choices. I have missed two waters over the past three days but that is not terrible, sometimes I feel like if I drink one more thing Im going to burst. LOL. I have been finding new recipes everynight and LOVING IT, so is my family.

    Goals for SUNDAY. (Im a huge football fan - Ravens) However, this is going to be the big challenge of the week. See we go to my in-laws and she is an amazing cook but not always the healthiest foods. I mean its like tailgate foods and snacks. She loves me though and is making her veggie soup that is delish. Anyway, Goals -

    Do not eat anything that is not diet approved.
    Drink all 8 glasses of water
    Clean my house before 12 and exercise before RAVENS game
    Get Christmas Cards done :O)

    Okay, wish everyone a very happy Sunday! Now its off to sleep before the baby wakes up to eat. Family Fun Day TOMORROW and I cant wait.

    Best Wishes to everyone!

    Elimay you are such an inspiration. You are AMAZING!!!. Hawkeye you are also an inspiration. Okay, Okay everyone in the challenge inspires me. I love reading everything about all of you.
    Today is a new day. I have three weeks to get something going here. I do not want to run in a marathon however, maybe someday. Was never much of an athlete. I just want to be able to walk, and walk, and walk. I think all of the snow has put a damper on my mood. I know I said no more excuses and here I go again. SHEESH!!!

    THANK YOU ALL! What a great bunch of people.

    Day has begun. Going to get going and start my day.

    Talk to you all later.

    Wow Elimay - jogging for 58 minutes, that is awesome well done

    Didn't manage to get my workout done again this morning but I'm trying not to stress about it, too many other pressures at the moment. Have had a couple of naughty snacks today but just had the best dinner ever - fish finger sandwiches with tomato ketchup and fries - yum yum. Would this be something that you eat in the US? In the UK fish fingers are usually just eaten by kiddies but every now and then I just have to eat some!

    Got to go, Elf is about to start on tv and it is my most favourite Xmas film - definitely not acting my age today but who cares!! :laugh:

    Hey Gang!

    First....I cooked. that's twice this month! I made beef and broccoli which was surprisingly not too bad. Have left overs for the three more meals. Stayed in the green on my calories again today.

    Worked out for a couple of hours between the bike and a walk. I also did a bunch of push ups, sit ups, etc for my strength training.

    The scale is still not moving....except for going up. I'm trying to not let it bug me but it does annoy me.

    I was good and got all my gifts wrapped and ready to be shipped out. Now I need to tackle the cards and the family letter. I have about 150 cards to write out as I send to all of my consumers along with family/friends. Guess I should work on that for a bit tonight.

    Hope everyone had a great weekend! Keep up the good work!

    Everyone is doing so well! I'm so proud of all of you!

    My day went well. I was too chicken to go outside for a run. It was cold out. It's okay though. I stayed in the green for my calories, although just barely. I also got plenty of water. I'm beginning to get more consistent in my healthy habits. I'm very glad.

    I hope everyone has a terrific Monday!

    It was a great day with the fam, Im so blessed with my family and my inlaw family! Ravens Feast was a breeze - not once did I feel like I needed that JUNK. I was able to get my house cleaned and workout in before the game today :O)

    Glad everyone is doing so well!!!!! This GROUP ROCKS!!!!

    Tomorrow I have the following goals.

    WATER 8x - Still cant seem to get that last one in I feel like im floating already have 1/2 of my seventh one left. I do drink organic green tea 3x a day as well (for the diet Im on) so I think that pushes me over board.

    Exercise - Bump up to 20 this week - I am running all day long but a solid workout is needed. Plus baby is starting to get on a better schedule so that will help me increase my workouts.

    Gather photos to send to video man - who is puttig final touches on our video from almost a year ago.

    Have a wonderful day everyone and great start to a new week!

    Hello everyone,

    I have found my solution to my not hungry problem and not wanting to not eat something. I have had in my house for a while some slim fast and right size smoothie mixes and decided when i am not hungry i am going to just drink one of them so i at least get some nutrition in me. And they are both chocolate and taste great! :happy:

    So i had a bit of a break down with food this weekend though. I had season fries and Mott sticks and almost a whole small pizza. :sad: i really will have to work to get back into my normal good work out schedule.

    This weeks goals are:
    1. Water water water...lots of water!
    2. More fruits and veggies
    3. Work out harder and longer
    4. No junk food

    Confidence and determination...that is key! Must stay focused on the goal at hand! :smile:

    Best of luck everyone! :happy:
