Thanks, you're a great motivator
got my workout in. I feel this group has helped me get into the groove, logging seems easier once this kind of commitment has been made! 0 -

No "but" you can do it! Best advice- go in with a plan. Plans are good. 0 -
Down another 1/2 lb. and stayed under my limit. Had a great upper body/cardio workout. Good day0

Stayed under my calorie goal incuding a small treat.
Only did about 30 minutes of my hours worth of exercise because of an unhappy tummy. Hopefully I will be able to make that up tomorrow.0 -
Pre-logging for tomorrow. It is working really well for me to include a cookie or two when I log ahead of time. So far I have not eaten too many treats.0

Confession: I work out 6 days a week. It's just what I do. But Sunday is my off day! Which is good because I could use a recovery day. But it's also going to be the biggest food challenge because we have xmas with the in laws. Will I make my goals? YES. it's not even a question. I made the commitment and I'm going to stick to it. I will do it by carefully planning in advance for tough moments and being prepared to make the right choices. Not to mention getting into the mindset that food or drink are not going to make any moment better in reality. That's just a tall tale our sometimes frantic mind tells us. Onwards!0

Wow!! Sounds like a fun life/job!
I haven't done so well either, I think being so tired makes it the hardest to stay on track. I just keep working at it and moving forward, trying to keep my head in the game!
Oh yes, my life is awesome, mostly because I have a job which is always different and full of fascinating creatures.
When I rest properly, I have the energy to resist temptation and prepare food properly. I know rest days are important and normally schedule them well, but a friend's 40th and an unexpected night shift killed my rest this week, which affected everything! Today is a new day and I have a good plan for the next week!0 -

That's wonderful to hear! Maybe someday I'll be able to say the same. For now though I do experience fascinating creatures, the kind that shop at video game stores.
Having a plan is quite helpful, sounds like you will do just fine!0 -
Yikes! Eating and exercise has been good but hit the margarita's last night. Jose Cuervo light but I think I downed half s bottle! Lol. I don't drink much but enjoy when I do! I will. It drink Amy more until Christmas. I think it negates all of my dieting.....0

Trust me, and remember this: YOU ARE ALL STRONG ENOUGH.
4 days!0 -
1015 and about to close the book on a killer successful weekend! How are you doing?? Hanging in! We go this!0
-
Hanging in there! Did 45 minutes jogging, 45 minutes walking and my Ab Challenge. Came in under my calorie goal and only ate the treats I had planned for in advance!
I will be pre logging for tomorrow before I head to bed.
Only 4 short days to go. Don't give up!0 -
Early Monday morning means time to put in my plans for the week. I know that if I don't train properly, I don't eat properly! Recovered from my exhausting week with a few early to bed and later to rise options and ready for a week of fun. This week I want to get in
- 2-3 BJJ/judo sessions at least
- My final body 20 session
- Try out the roller blades I borrowed
- 2 fitness classes
- 1 weights class
- At least one ocean swim
- Maybe get a run in, esp. if it rains (not too hot then)
Today I will make time to ensure I am stocked up with salad ingredients. With the exception of eating with family during Christmas weekend, I am aiming for super low carb meals. Salad varieties, avocado, eggs and fruit will keep me well fed outside of special meals.0 -
Great job I'm so proud of you. I'm inspired. I'll get this tooCheerios0392 wrote: »Wanted to eat more today but I didn't! Managed 19,000 steps today.

I want to be in a deficit for the next 3 days too. Only 3 days to go for me since Im in the Southern Hemisphere. I got this!

You're killin it!!!! Awesome.0 -
A new day begins! Get after it!0

Weekends are killers on my temptations and when my time is not my own and can't exercise. I tend to plan my day and eat better when I am at work. Mondays are always full of regret and motivation to be better... but then my will power weakens towards Friday. I need to break this endless cycle for the New Year. I have really enjoyed this Christmas Sprint! Thanks for all the posts..makes me feel like I am not alone in the battle :-)0
-
You are definitely not alone in the battle! As I think this thread has proven there are so many of us out there, myself included, that fight a daily mental battle with healthy eating and fitness.
One of the first weapons you have is setting great short term goals which is what this sprint is all about!0 -
Had another good day. Stayed under my calories and said no to Xmas cookies. Great Zumba workout. Down 7 pounds. Yea0
