    Hello friends!

    We have 10 days to get to Christmas Eve. After that things are going to get tough eating-wise for a bit.

    So why not use the 10 days between then and now to make some real progress!

    I am committing to log my food on my fitness pal and hit my daily goal every day until Christmas Eve morning, and work out at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes.

    Want to join me? You can do anything for 10 days!!

    Count me in

    How are we doing? It's been a rough day for me, tough time at work and all I want is beer and pizza. But I'm not gonna do it! Must resist!

    I hope you managed, some days are just so much tougher than others!

    I'm halfway through the day (in Australia) but I strained something in my back this morning... Nooooo! I'm trying to think of how I can still exercise :( challenges...

    I did all my exercise today, weights (legs) and day 15 of a 30 day Ab Challenge. A little over an hour together.

    It's 8:30 PM here and I am 10 calories UNDER my goal. I'm going to go brush my teeth early if I am tempted to eat something else.

    I will get my meals logged for tomorrow and stick to the plan. I will be baking cookies tomorrow so I will include a couple in my calories.

    Have a great day tomorrow everyone. We can do this together! Only 8 days to go!

    So tomorrow is my rest day and also used to be my cheat day. I'm going to eat really well at breakfast and lunch, but I'm scared that I might be having hard ciders for dinner. But I'm really going to try not to do that. #thestruggleisreal

    You can do it! Just remember it's not something you need to make it a good night. And think about how much better you'll feel the next morning! Advice: prepare ahead of time to take on that roadblock before you get to that moment. You'll be in a much better position to make a good decision! Just 8 days to go!

    Or.. can you make it just 1 drink mixed with sparkling water or diet soda of some sort so it fits into your goals.

    Dont go into battle without a plan!

    I think this is a thread that you can just join right in. Post here.

    Do you know how to add the thread to your favorites list?

    Scroll to the top and on the right side there is a little star. Click it and it will turn yellow. Then the tread will be saved in your favorites so you can check in often.

    WELCOME TO MFP!
