Daily Check In - Winter 13/14

Oh, Goldk! Best of luck getting thru the Colonoscopy Prep... I am supposed to have one, but don't wanna! - not even scheduled yet.

Thanks for starting the new Winter thread. When you can, I hope you will let us know the date of the final "Winter" check in. I will set my goal at that time. My official start weight for the Winter Thread is 140 pounds. If I even get into the 130s at all and maintain that during this Winter thread... that will be lowest that I've weighed in a few years!!! So, just 1 pound of loss and being maintained will be a huge milestone for me!

I really appreciate these Daily Check-in threads. Thank you so very much for doing them. Although, I did not meet my goal, I lost 5 pounds in the Fall Daily Check In. You and all who participate have helped me so much. 5 pounds is a big loss for me!

Is your husband starting to show any improvement? w, if I would only stick to my plan & quit binging!!!

Best of luck to all who join in the Winter Daily Check In!!!!

Hello! I kind of want to introduce myself and get involved with a support and accountability group. I am 26 years old and I just got engaged in November. I have been working out and would like to get involved. I have lost 2 pant sizes so far, but have only lost 3 pounds. I have gained muscle and toned up though.

I am doing a mixture of Turbo Fire, Focus T25, P90x, and Cathe Kick Max work outs. I am so proud of myself for starting working out and sticking with it!!! I never had the motivation until now, but working out has helped me become more confident and happy with myself.

I am so excited to see future results and see how far I can push myself!!

Goldk - I'm glad your husband is home, I hope he keeps doing better. I know exactly what you mean about it feeling good to get back to the Y ... it seems like my last 2 weeks have been absolutely crazy, and not done yet ... but I get to the Y whenever I can and I feel sane again.
I didn't have the best willpower over Christmas, cookies really got to me - but other than the cookies I did really well and saw some small losses on the scale - so super happy with that. New Year's Eve tomorrow to deal with, and then I go to New York this weekend with my daughter for 4 days! I think I will have a hard time there with food. I'm excited to go, but also kind of looking forward to after the trip when things can get back to my normal routine.

Did you stay within your nutritional goals? I didn't track, but I think I did ok.
Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? didn't set one
What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? made quiche and protein shakes for the next few days
What would I have done differently? I ate too many carbs - hot chocolate, and some crackers, and ate too late

We head to Florida for 6 - 8 weeks on Sunday so will be away from the "busyness" and routine and will be doing a lot more walking and relaxing so should have no excuse to not get healthier!

Happy New Year!
