    Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a great week! Nice job Istpaul :flowerforyou:

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? Yes - even without exercise.
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? Didn't set any
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? stayed under on calories w/out exercise. Got back fro Vegas on Friday night - kept my eating under control at the conference (food wasn't that great). I didn't have any dessert the entire time (unless lots of kettle one counts...LOL) Much to my surprise I didn't gain any weight (this is a first...LOL)
    What would I have done differently? more water - beef stew for dinner had a lot of sodium in it
    What is today's personal goals? ELLIPTICAL FOR 60 MINS!!!!

    Thanks girls! I really needed to see some progress on the scale to get through this week with lots of food temptations!

    Goldk - so the question is ... did you come back from Vegas with any extra $$$?

    I'm not a hardcore black friday shopper ... a friend and I usually try to meet after the early morning rush and before the all day shoppers get there later morning ... so we usually try to squeeze in a couple of hours when it is the least busy.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals?yes - since I am upping my calorie range to 1700-1900
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? yes
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? made mostly good food choices - didn't stop and get the chips and dip I felt like since I was feeling sorry for myself since I am sick with ear infections.
    What would I have done differently? could have made a better choice for dinner than a baked potato - even if it was small
    What is today's personal goals? stay under calories and eat in balance the rest of the day, hopefully fit in step today, but it is iffy with still feeling sick and hopefully closing on our refinance this afternoon

    Mon - 60 minutes - no step - sick
    Tues - 60 minutes step?
    Wed - 60 minutes bodypump or 60 minutes step
    Thurs - need to check out Turkey Jam at the Y and see if I can fit it in before Thanksgiving lunch
    Fri - walking - Black Friday shopping
    Sat - 60 minutes step
    Sun - walk at farm

However - 5 days in Vegas is wayyyy tooooo long... LOL

    Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a great weekend.

    I am ready to start back to losing some weight. I have somehow managed to stay the same weight for a couple months... and I am actually very happy that I have not gained. But, now it is time to be serious, again.
    I hope you all had a nice weekend.
    I hope that I can stay in town for a while.
