Dec. 26th

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, way under actually!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?yes

Looks like I'm out. I can't muster the energy to even take my dog for a walk today. I spent a big chunk of the day with my dying cousin in his hospital room and even though I came home and took an hour nap with every intention of going to my circuit class tonight, I just can't seem to work up the energy for it.

On the bright side I made it through Christmas and all the preceding parties and whatnot. I give this challenge all the credit in the world for persuading me to stay on task through November and December. I've lost 12 pounds since Nov. 1st and it's highly unlikely that would have happened without this challenge. I plan on being back Jan. 1.

You're all MFP rock stars! Keep up the good work!

Did I exercise for 20+ minutes? Yes

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? 25th - yes, 26th - no. Sorry to say that the 26th got away from me. However, I really want to thank you for this challenge. It made me mindful of staying within my calorie range, and I even lost 2 lbs during it (which is amazing given the time of year). Hopefully, I can keep this mind set through the new year.
