That's a relief! I'm happy with maintaining through Thanksgiving week. :) As opposed to past years, this year I ate, but not out of control, and I got right back to plan the next day, which kept things in check pretty well.

    Hi, all. I weighed yesterday morning, but then didn't get here to get it recorded. I'm relieved but not pleased. Essentially, I'm still mucking about in the same old neighborhood. I weighed almost a pound and a half less on Wednesday than I did on Tuesday, so the difference is bound to be water.

    I was an abject (is that a word?) failure at both logging and activity last week. My list of things that I must get done (both personal and work-related) just continues to expand, and I've let myself get into that old habit of thinking that if I just get caught up a little today.... But I know that with my client leaving and the holidays at hand, sacrificing the relatively small amount of time I need for logging and walking is not going to get me ahead of crush of things.

    So yesterday, I made a point to log my food, even though that meant logging from lunch forward at almost 1 a.m. this morning when I finally cried uncle with work and household tasks. My intake, however, was crazy. Hubby made us pulled pork bar-b-que sandwiches with coleslaw for lunch yesterday. Can you say fat/calories/sodium boys and girls? Dinner was pasta and meatballs and although the meatballs were turkey meatballs, I was about 400 calories off course for the day.

    So today, I need to take corrective action. The gingersnaps that have taken me hostage are gone, and my goal for today is focus on vegetables, fruit, and water!

    Sarah, logging food is so bothersome. I actually really hate having to do it. But, it works. Once you get your frequent foods in MyFitnessPal, it gets a little easier.

    Kelly, congratulations on your loss! And it's good to see you here and on the FitBit challenges! Between the challenges and the holiday shopping, my legs are sore, LOL!

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    My weigh in day isn't until Monday, but I thought I'd come see how everyone is doing.

    I agree, logging food is a pain. I usually start off the day really good and by lunch, I forget to do it and I realize the next day. I guess it's just a mindset I need to get into because you're right Sheesh, it does work.

    Sarah - Don't let those gingersnaps get you!

    I'm checking in here because it's so easy, when I'm not feeling good about my nutrition and activity, to just not participate on the board. And when I'm "hiding," it makes it easier for me to not eat well, log, and move.

    So I'm here to confess that I am terrified to weigh this week. My time is being consumed with extra work related to my client's retirement as well our regular year-end work, such as the annual review and update of the agency's website. And this year my holiday tasks include getting ready for guests that will include one person with some serious health and mobility issues. So I'm sitting at my desk for longer hours and then I'm spending my "spare" time doing household and holiday things. And when I'm tired and feeling "stretched," it's also easy for me to allow myself that cookie or that extra helping of something.

    I am so hoping that my walking buddy will be able to meet me tonight. We've not been able to met up in more than a week due to her work schedule, and I need that commitment to another person. Wish commitment to myself were stronger now, but the pull of other things is taking a toll.

    Ugh... just ugh. Although, I'm really not surprised. I was lacking in exercise, eating and boozing at restaurants for the week because I had meetings to attend for work.
    Back at it today though. Already 100% on my tracking and I'm actually thinking about what I'm eating and drinking, and trying to move more... even though I'm stuck at my desk.

    Good idea Sarah. I'm the exact same way when I'm not feeling awesome about my progress. Post away! It'll make you accountable and we all know that you'll get back at it when the time permits. Do your best with the eating and get some walking in when you can... even if it's just steps in place for a few minutes at a time.

    Thanks, Kelly. Sometimes, I feel like a whiner, but it helps to put down what is going on and see what is happening with you guys. And regarding your weigh-in stats, I believe that the absolute most important thing is to weigh and put down whatever the weight is. Through time, I've had to put down some numbers that did not make me happy. But I believe denial is much more dangerous for me than a weigh-in every now and then that I don't like. Bet next week is much better for you. :smile:

    I did make it to the mall last night and we walked 12,349 steps in 98 minutes. I wore a different pair of cross-trainers though, and I got a blister on the edge of one heel. First blister in a long time, and I sure hope it does not act up tonight. I just got a text message from my buddy who is en route to the mall as we speak.

    If possible, work exploded some more today, and I discovered an e-mail I had overlooked that is causing me some anxiety. So I need to get away from this desk. And would you believe that I have bought only one Christmas present thus far? Where the heck are those elves?
