Green, yes
Exercise, no
Total 13/21

Today was definitely a challenge, but I stayed green! Retirement lunch out for a coworker at a restaurant with very few decent choices. Did my research w their nutrition info beforehand though and stuck to it! Tomorrow is my office holiday party so already planning it'll be red. Too difficult to try to figure out everyone's homemade dishes.

    Office holiday party potluck style. I have no idea what I ate calorie-wise. I really didn't do too bad, except for some cake. Will just assume it's red and move on. Missed my little lunchtime bike rides in the gym I've been doing. Back at it tomorrow!

    Green today? Yes 15/25
    Streak: 3 days
    Exercise today? Yes 9/20

    20 minutes on the treadmill, 1 minute comfortable pace, 1 minute fast. The difference between the two became less and less - working on my treadmill speed. I'm faster outside than when I run outside.

    Swim meet 3 of 4 tomorrow. Looking forward to Sunday.

    Green: Yes, No, Yes, No, & No
    Goal: 13/26 (It's not enough days in the month to reach this goal, but I'll try to keep all but 2 of the days green for the remaining of the month.)
    Exercise: No, Yes, No, No, Yes
    Exercise Goal: 10/21 (If I exercise every day I can still make this goal.)

    Ladies, I've really been MIA. I'm so sorry. Who knew December could be so hectic??? I'm not even working, and it's still super busy. I've eaten too much on more days than not, and my exercise has taken a backseat too. Granted, I was sick most of last week, but I'm done with that excuse. Effective tomorrow, I'm back on track all the way around. My body is missing it's normal routine.

    @jenthibert Congratulations on getting all your shopping done! I'm jealous. I haven't put a dent in my shopping list. Ha!!!
    @MelissaPhippsFeagins Hope you had a great weekend! The foam roller sounds like a hit. I probably need to ask santa for one of those. Let me know how you like it.
    @bbinoa I hope a wonderful weekend made up for the hectic day you had Friday.

    @Laughter_Girl, I was getting panicky about Christmas shopping. Only things I had were my amazon and llbean orders and a partial list. I'm working until noon on Christmas Eve. Due to a vision issue I don't drive more than a few miles from home after dark (and it's dark EARLY!) and the area I needed to get to is definitely not in my comfort zone /driving area. Yesterday was it!

    My husband and I need to shop for our gift. We're getting a new camera so we can capture all the senior year activities on more than our phones.

    12/19 & 12/20 - green 20/25
    STREAK: 20 2of 2 ten days complete a 5 day streak to go
    Exercise no. & yes 9/15

    My second 10 day streak was saved by Daughter not wanting cake for her birthday. She has a cold and "why waste calories if they don't even taste good."

    Hang in there, everybody. The goal this week for me is maintenance. It's Feagins birth week!!! (one down, two to go then Christmas.)

    Red and red. No exercise either.
    Ughhhhh!!!
    13/21 and holding. At this point I'll be happy to get half my days this month green.
    Cookie making and eating. Super yummy, but I feel yucky. This week is hectic too. Will try to get a workout in Monday but Tuesday is filled with appts and another lunch out, Wednesday is a class party. At least I'm in good company! You guys sound as crazy as me!
