    Green- nope!
    Exercise- nada!
    6/21 (not bad!)
    The day caught up with me too! Busy busy!! My husband's out of town for work (seriously- what company sends you to MN in December for a week in the midst of the holidays!?) so I've been doing double-duty. Basketball game for my stepson last night. I say no exercise, but I feel like I've been running all day. I was also just super hungry! One of those days I guess.

    Sounds like you guys are right there w/me!

    There was no time to exercise today, but I plan to do something tomorrow. Thankfully, I'm not as tempted to eat all the junk I use to. That certainly helps with keeping my weight down.

    Stick with it ladies. You've got this!!!

    Okay I thought I was going to get some exercise in, but like @jenthibert, I was too busy to do it. I would like to think tomorrow is going to be more promising as it relates to exercise, but that'll depend on if I can wake up a little early tomorrow. I'm planning to go to bed within the hour and that should help me I guess. I'll let you know what happens.

    12/9 Chevy green, no exercise
    12/10 green, yes exercise
    Streak 11 (1st 10 day complete)
    Green 10/25
    Exercise 5/15

    My husband dragged me to the gym last night. He was going to lift with no spotter if I didn't go.

    Today is corporate Christmas lunch. I don't know what it will look like calorie-wise.

    And finally, the Grinch found his heart: Effective Monday, no OT until next year.

    @jenthibert once things calm down you'll have to share what you've been doing for merry coremas. I love the name!

    Exercise today? Yes 7/20

    3.7 miles, treadmill. Ran 3 then walked to cool down. Decided to get my steps in so I picked up the pace for a bit til I hit 12,000 steps. And I've kept up with the Merry Core-mas exercises.

    @MelissaPhippsFeagins, glad you're off ot for a little while!

    @Laughter_Girl, how was the early morning exercise? I have a really hard time getting up. I'm awake and know I should just get it done but...

    Weekend at a long swim meet. Kid has to be on deck at 6:45 tomorrow morning for the early session and if he qualifies we go back tomorrow night. Repeat Sunday. I just keep telling myself that I'll miss this.

    4.3 miles outside, first time in awhile. A little under 41 minutes.

    Rest of the day was spent plopped on a bleacher at a swim meet. My son made it back to finals in two of his three events and placed 6th overall in one of them!

    Hard to stay green at these things and I didn't.

    Day 2 at the swim meet. Big guy had best times in all but one event and made it back for finals both days. Another "last" on our senior year calendar.

    3 swim meets coming up this week. Yikes

    I'm back folks!!! I went to Miami for the weekend to do the Serena Williams (absolutely love her) Live Ultimate Run. I had a blast, but I'm really exhausted now. My girls and I probably got about 10 hours of sleep total this weekend. Ha! I was able to exercise though, but I ate everything that wasn't bolted down. I'm back on track somewhat today. :)

    I'll chat more tomorrow. @MelissaPhippsFeagins I hope you're feeling better as far as the headache. @jenthibert Enjoy the swim meets!!! @bbinoa You'll be running soon, but in the meantime, continue moving. Way to push it despite the setback!

    @Laughter_Girl - my headache is better. I am still allergic to poinsettias and evergreens. I won't feel 100% until after Christmas. It's okay. I am used to it.

    Yesterday was the Cub Scout Christmas party. I have three Mondays off from it. I think I will try to get to Monday night yoga classes to keep myself on track.
