It's the 15th of December. We've past Thanksgiving and two weeks of December. Hmm..what lies ahead? Ok, a couple of days of family food-frenzy. But think about this... a couple of days, is not a week; not a month; not a year; and not a lifetime. Check yourself right now and tell me...what non-scale victory should you celebrate because you have been doing lots of things right?
For me, it's that ALL of my clothes fit right. No bunching of my shirts where they transtion into my belt line. Everything is fitting just right. I'm not perfect, but I'm feeling very happy about that. Rick
What about you?

NSV I think I have just moved on. I don't care that the world eats chips and cookies I like eating my fruit for snack and a protein bar for lunch. One of the younger girls was making fun of my eating and there was a lot of people in the break room as it was snowing out so people stayed put. I just looked at her and said I just don't care I eat what I like.
When we get to the end of winter and my clothes are still roomy then we will know I'm still doing ok LOL
ended up with a couple of feet of snow it looks like and some drifting. Hubby is doing the driveway. He was going to wait but when my alarm went off at 5;30 and he goes it's your late day I'm like I have to do the drive way in case I get called in early he grumbled and said I'll do it. "YES" One time I don't have to do it. as he's a 3rd shifter I do it most of the time.3 -
NSV. It has been a long time coming but I finally got my BMI under 25. That is actually a scale victory I guess.
I can wear 36 inch pants now. My wife says that when we got married I was a 34. I kind of don't believe her. I might have been a 34 in the military. I am kind of ok with my body now. I wish I had more upper body bulk but I think for age group I am all right.
The best thing about my life right now is my fitness and mobility. Many of my peers have abandoned that.
Well, they got me to show them what fun looks like.
Fun, I think I am going to go have lunch with Buddy.

NSV the jeans I'm wearing only stay up with a belt and fall right down if I forget and put any weight in the pockets eg my phone. I'll have to get a new pair in the January sale I think.
@2020pinktogo you definitely have the right attitude. I don't know what it is with people and passing comment on others' healthy choices and moreso than unhealthy ones. I said no thanks to a chocolate this week and my 4 family members who were sharing them all started trying to force me to take one.
Exercise: yes, walking
Calories: yes and I cooked again.
Tracking: yes. Even the brie I'd forgotten about til just this second but still had enough calories. Phew!
Hope everyone's enjoyed their day!

My NSV is feeling muscles again in my arms & legs. I can't wait to see them three months from now, six months, nine . . . no matter the speed, progress is progress!

Here is me striking out for December.
I ate 3,000 calories. If I'd got 1,000 exercise cals I would have been ok.
Oops.
Had lunch with Buddy. That little guy, I been trying to think of how to quantify his improvement in strength. The ramps. We got these buildings called portables. All of them have ramps up to them. Buddy didn't used to be able to get up the ramp without me supplementing his effort. So today I am giving Buddy free rein and he wants to go up a ramp but it ain't to our portable. So I let him. So he slugs up that ramp and after about a couple of halfway attempts, he is up there. What's he want to do now? Turn around and come down. Look at him! He is running down that ramp and I ain't holding him! I am in front of him to prevent disaster but he is running down that ramp with a smile on his face bigger than sunshine!
Then what does he want to do? He wants to go back up it! Buddy and I are doing hill repeats!
What a day. I am going to be smiling and laughing inside myself for a good while on the memory of this day.
I wish I had a smart phone. I shoulda got a picture of this.2 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes -- 100 min at gym including 13 miles on bike and doing treadmill work and then doing my 5-min ab and arm apps when I got home. I'm trying to get more strength training in. Someday I'll try out the weight machines at the gym.
