Exercised?: Yes (5km walk in 40 mins - hills).
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Work from home again today.
Not much else to report.
@RangerRickL. Well under today, so less than 3 or less pass days this month (irrespective of tomorrow). Thank you for the vote of confidence yesterday. So count me in for circle.
My story for this month is ridiculous amounts of travel and insane workload. However, through all that kept tracking, remained active and weight still at ideal for my height (estimate 10% body fat).
Happy Halloween to all for tomorrow.3 -
Congrats to all of those who plan to achieve Winner's Circle this month. I will not be part of the circle due to extensive travel. @craigo3154 I don't know how you keep up with your workload, required travel, family and commitments. You are an exemplary model of discipline. My continued praises to your wife for her newly discovered self-discipline. Your approach to her weight loss journey is commendable.
A shout out, as well, to all participants who attempted this challenge and continued with participation and logging even after the requisite pass days were exceeded, or failed to achieve Winner's Circle for other circumstances. While we did not achieve "Winner's Circle," we have a "Winning Circle of Friends."
A number of our group members have been challenged this month with illness, injury or loss minimally including:
@BobWw2017
@jan110144

@MadisonMolly2017

@trimi1104
Wishing everyone strength, healing and success for November. Looking forward to participating with all of you. Kindest regards.5 -

Great day! Awesome gym session to start with, morning yin yoga with my friends. A busy day at work that ended slightly early so I could get a shower in before Jiu Jitsu (because howling gales mean that feeding fish smoothie to stranded seals is a messy process and no one would roll with me without a shower!)
Ate well and came in 2 calories below my lower limit with everything tracked.
Stepped on the scale this evening and very happy to see I have dropped below 70kg. Now to lose the weight of my gi (1.5kg with belt) before comp. Definitely find that keeping calories between 1800 and 2000 is better fuel for my schedule.5 -
3 x Yes
Best wishes to all who entered this months challenge, even if you didn't enter the winners circle in my opinion the very fact that you are here logging and keeping yourself accountable makes everyone involved worthy competitors ~ see you all next month3 -
Yes x 3
There is a whole bowl of candy in my house and I am NOT going to eat it all!!3 -
Calories -well under
Tracked -yes
Exercise - usually not an issue, but challenging today as my cold leaves me feeling really draggy. Managed to get 40 minutes of oretty low intensity riding in, so all is good.
One more day to go. Will buy my trick or treat candy on the way home and give everything left to the last kids before I turn off the porch light (lucky kids!!) Fottinately, the rain is due to stop mid-day so all looks good for the goblins in the evening.3 -
