I'm excited for progress, but also disappointed from a neck/shoulder/back muscle sprain that has kept me sedentary for 6 days and could affect me for a week or more! UGH!
My goals are simple for the month -
CW 137.2
GW 136
Fitness goal - once it is safe, get into a schedule with strength training every other day and cardio when I want to watch Netflix (while I'm on my bike). Also, create an exercise plan for the 3-6 nights away for Christmas.

Well this is surprising! I decided to change my daily calories down to a little over my estimated basal (to be safe) and I make sure I eat 1-100 calories more than that minimum, whether I exercise or not. I'm going to be doing cardio to get back into exercise and continue to let my neck/shoulder/back heal, but I'm glad to get back on my bike! Strength training will begin hardcore like it used to be after another week or two probably, and I'll bring my weights to holiday!

12/5/16 119# (actually measured a week prior)
GW 120# (this is my maintenance)
Today's weight: 121#
I'm bloated and cranky! I haven't made my goals that I said I would. UGH!
Today is a new day and I'm already drinking water and skipping that extra cup of coffee today. I brought a salad lunch today and I think I will take the yoga mat tot the scout Christmas party tonight in hopes of avoiding the sweets!!!1 -

My goal is to lose 5 lbs during December instead of the typical gaining of 5 lbs.
SW: 139.5 LBS
GW: 134.5 LBS
Eating low carb, high protein foods and working out at bootcamp 4-5 X per week. Let's rock this Christmas season!1 -
Was a very bad week for me, it was bitter cold the past 2 weeks and I was eating too much and not exercising. And it showed on the scales, time to get my butt in gear and my mouth in neutral lol

Lol, I did say I planned to gain weight this week... and I did! *shrugs* Good luck to everyone (including me) on next week! Let's do our best, but not beat ourselves up.

We learn something even on the bad days / weeks. All of it moves us forward even if we can't see it yet. We "will" get there!2 -

Update - I am now 134 after having much difficulty between my food allergies, intolerances, and preferences during my 5 day stay with family. It was such a hassle to prepare even half the food I needed, and I think if I did it differently I would plan a bit differently next time to make sure I eat enough. I don't consider this a positive milestone and I actually hope to get above 135 by the new year so I can continue a healthy weight loss journey.2 -

It's my check-in day again. I have reached lower than this, but since this was my weight today, I'll add my December 26th weight as: 135.2.
I honestly still think I'll hit my end-of-month goal. My weight had dipped under 134 a couple of days ago. I think I'm currently experiencing some bloating.

Well, getting back into good habits can be difficult. I took a break and ate wayyy too much! It's ok though. I'll lose it soon enough. Still, I'm unhappy about having made a goal and then appearing to ignore it. Happily, just New Years Eve to go and then back to getting serious.

To maintain my current weight is tough. Consistency is reassuring.
Happy New Year to everyone!

I forgot to enter my weight on the 23rd but i did have it recorded so it is correct. I did manage to drop for that check in but the final one won't be as kind. I am up at this point but not as much as other years and still have a couple of days to go. At this point I feel not too bad considering how much I ate over the past 5 days

So I am really sucking with this "project" here with you guys. I finally got to run the other day since my broken foot. I hope to remember to measure tomorrow and I'll update y'all. Hope you have a great New Year! We will crush our goals/resolutions!!1

Final - 134.8
I'm glad I gained a little after the holiday stress and now I know I can comfortably lose 2lb per month, which helps me realize my goals for the future.1 -
Goal weight was 133 and final weight for 2016 is 133.4. I'm not even disappointed with that. I'm hoping to lose 4 pounds in January!1
