    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!

    Yay for resisting!
    I ended up having a soda which I'd hoped to skip. Been having it more lately working the store. All it does is makes me want more sugar. But I did pass on pizza my husband offered me, so that was a good thing. Rather slow at the store, with little sleep the 4 and a half hours will be challenging for me. But still aiming to keep my calorie goal on target.

    Fail yesterday, 200+ calories over, but today my back is ok and I've got my workout in: 5km run should ensure I'll stay under today..!

    How's everyone doing?? The hardest part of the day for me is coming up. Early evening! We got this.

    Anyone want to share their exercise for the day? I did a 30 minute high intensity strength workout from the men's health program called "anarchy"

    Sounds like an awesome idea. I'll start even if it is late. Dec 16 - I did 45 min MMA fitness and 60 min BJJ. I actually didn't eat enough today, and what I did eat wasn't the best, but we went to a chicken takeout place and instead of get potato I got grilled veg as I am trying to stay low carb to cut weight for competition.

    I am working tonight so there is no food here to tempt me, but sadly also no good food that I could eat to meet the minimum requirement. The odd day like this won't kill me and I will be back to eating properly tomorrow!

    I slept in today - oopsie - so no morning exercise today but went to the skate park last night and going to 'off season training' today. We'll probably play Roller hockey or something fun like that :)

    Planning on going for a crossfit session tomorrow morning before work. *setting alarm right now*

    Well done on your high intensity workout today - my favourite type of workout!

    I came home from work and ate a lean dinner and did 1/2 of an insanity workout. Now I'm relaxing. Burned 400 calories @ work too going up the stairs. Feeling hopeful

    Nice job everyone! Our relatives will love the kind of energy we'll all have come Christmas from 10 days of living a healthy lifestyle. Who knows, we may love it so much it'll be worth keepin' on once those presents are unwrapped and a day of eggnog is consumed ;)

    So, last night I burned my hand pretty badly by grabbing a hot pot. Duh!?! I have about 4 inches worth of blisters on my thumb and forefinger.

    I took a hour long brisk walk instead of my scheduled weight lifting. I am within my calorie goal including 2 very yummy homemade gingerbread cookies.

    I hope everyone has a good, solid plan for tomorrow. Take the time to set yourselves up for success. You are worth it and the 7 more days of our commitment is going to just breeze by!

    Yes great idea - I think this might be necessary! ;)

    Of course there is the tried and true...pick the very best piece or two and log it! The duct tape hurts so much when you have to get it off!

    I baked 14 dozen cookies today and had 2 with a cup of black coffee! Hello! Awesome!

    I love this thread y'all are awesome. Definitely needed the motivation tonight. I only got my 15 minutes of yoga in this morning before starting a hectic work day. Already set my alarm for an early morning weight lifting, stair climbing Cardio blast followed by hot sauna.

    We can do this!
