    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.

    Okay so got my Christmas shopping done today. Shopped for 5 hours and basically have it all done, plus bought a new tree. Getting it up tomorrow. Presents will be wrapped tomorrow.
    Went over my calories but did a ton of walking today.
    Now if my hubby would give me some ideas so I could get it all done.
    Hope everyone is having an AWESOME weekend. Will be baking cookies tomorrow for my cookie exchange at work. And will try not to eat TOO MANY! As you can see I did not say I will not eat any at all.
    2 days and my son will be home for 2 weeks for Christmas. Cannot wait to give him a BIG hug.
    LOVE YOU ALL!!!

    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! Thanks

    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!

    Good morning,

    Goals check:
    Log calories - yes
    Eat less than burn - yes - just barely
    exercise - yes - walk
    sit-ups - 20 full sit-ups, 30 crunches - My ol' gut isn't as strong as it used to be, but I'm counting this as a goal reached.

    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!!!!

    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 :smile: 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!

    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!
