    Well, we have one more day until the postcard challenge is officially over! So get to the gym this morning, take the dog for the walk, drink plenty of water and say no to the holiday cookies that might be lurking around your office. Looking forward to seeing everyone's progress over the last two weeks!

    As for me, I've found it hard to get back into the swing of it after Thanksgiving. I've still been hitting the gym in the morning... but as you can tell by my food tracker... I haven't been keeping tracked! So as I look at my lonely glass of water wondering how it was I enjoyed drinking my 2 liters at work before Thanksgiving and now it just sets there making me fell guilty... I'll reward myself with the first cup of coffee in the morning once it's gone! Small steps, small rewards!

    Don't forget to post your results tomorrow, we have already had one weigh in turned in! Congrats to bkrbabe57! You set a high goal for us and a good start towards our combined goal of 82.6 pounds down!

    Well - Congrats to those of you who stuck with the challenge and will be weighing in tomorrow. Although I didn't participate with you, I did observe you. I weighed in this morning; I lost a total .6 pounds this month. However, my trainer took my measurements this evening and I lost a total of five inches!! I'll take inches any day. I'm going to skip the next challenge because I don't plan on weighing in again until January 1. I'm really focused on doing the plyometrics and resistance training at the gym and losing inches and body fat (down 2% this month). So I wish you all the best of luck and may your Christmas season be blessed by God.

    So I was so good the first week of the challenge... I was down to 250 on Thanksgiving morning! Then by the time the weekend was over up to 253! That was even with hitting the gym Thursday and Saturday morning! Needless to say, I did pull it back down but not as much as I had hoped... 251.4 was this morning's weigh-in.

    Looking forward to reading everyone else's results!
