@eyesopennow my husband's favorite thing to do is smoke food on the grill. We have 3 grills. 1 gas grill, 1 smoker and 1 is half gas half smoker. He has the ridiculous setup outside and when it's the nice weather there are tables added to this scene.

@Navydaddjtc my steps should be all caught up.

I did my Zumba class and went for a nice long, cold walk today. It's cold here in New Hampshire. I went food shopping yesterday and did some meal prepping today. I plan on getting up early tomorrow, fingers crossed. If not I will work out when I get home.

@amsandos nice day! Although I hope 95 calories is a typo. Nice loss too! Do you want to log your weekly steps too?
@Mandi5512 congratulations on being the 3rd highest with pounds lost! Great job!!! Idk how I missed you on there! Looks you had a great day Sunday too!
@ljdanny sounds like a good day and a good plan for the week
@cassiegetsfit2013 Good restraint with not arguing with your Aunt. That wouldn’t do any good. You are doing so well, maybe she will start learning from you. Keep doing what you are doing. You have been doing awesome!
@lenka1 that is a big milestone! I have a ways to go before I get to that point. I know I have it in me, I just have to get there! You had another good day! You have been doing awesome!
@Lyssysho26 now I have to know about the shower! Lol! Sounds like a nice weekend!

Congrats to the Team for doing so great last week! Let's do it again!

My weekend flew by! It was so busy that logging and yoga got overlooked a bit. I didn't log Saturday, but didn't overeat so think it was close. Yesterday I was over about 200 calories. What I really missed was my yoga! Making time for it today! Back to my routine.

@sleepymom5 Your Christmas decorations look really nice! I just love the feeling of a home decorated for Christmas!

I will catch up with the posts today. Have a great Monday and week everyone!

T.E.A.M. Pledge

Sticking with this pledge. Usually exercise isn't too hard for me to fit in. With everything going on, I am having trouble fitting it in.

Today, every act matters. Every small step I take to reach my goal is a step towards a healthier body. My goal for today is to:

I will exercise for at least 45 min and reach my 10k steps.

These are the small steps I have taken to make the day successful:

I will exercise before I get involved in anything else
I will make sure I get at least 500 an hour today.
I will do a walking tape if I notice I drop off in steps too far

Had a good day yesterday. Got all mine prep cooking done. I made chicken tortilla soup, salsa verde chicken enchiladas, veggie bags, deli rolls, homemade good for you ice cream sandwiches, and enough chopped up vegetables for a stir fry at some point during the week.My refrigerator is stocked and ready for a great week.

@pacsnc6 just a small gain. Probably water. Keep going you got this.

@lennoncpa I need that sign too!

@phoebe112476 good job on that yoga. I know it makes me feel better too.

@sleepymom5 great job staying on track yesterday. Impressive string. Remember consistency builds momentum.

@Mrsbell8well I have done that a million times. Makes me so angry.

@nstephenson01 you know I was just asking myself that almost exact same thing yesterday. Why is it so hard to take the weight off but so easy to put it back on. I don't understand except that it is the way it is and move on.

@ljdanny I love walks in the cold! It's a mind set. Perfect for meditation cause everything else is frozen!!

@Mandi5512 you are right weekdays are so much easier.

@lenka1 it certainly is a state of mind. Keep telling yourself that being at your goal will taste a whole lot better than that 10 minutes of eating that cookie. It is absolutely true.

@CassieGetsFit2013 first off congrats on winning the weight loss challenge last week! You are doing awesome girl. Look at you weighing your food. That is amazing be proud of yourself. I understand what you're saying though about people that are trying to help but really don't understand what you're doing. You just keep doing you girl you are very important you're the most important person in your life.

Okay team wait no more. I do not have a actual computer all week. I am doing this from my phone. So I am hoping that I talked to everybody. And if not it wasn't intentional. I look forward to our continued progress this week. My office is shut down because we are getting new flooring and new paint on the walls. So I've got no computers no phones no nothing and I'm sitting here in an empty office. My boss has decided that he was going to use this week as a vacation. So I will be here all week with the contractors. Wish me luck! I'll catch up with you later

@sleepymom5 here are my step counts for the week. I am not sure from what date you want them, so I will list since 12/1:

12/1: 10,179
12/2: 18,907
12/3: 15,796
12/4: 11,284
12/5: 14,255
12/6: 12,289
12/7: 13,471
12/8: 11,808
12/9: 10,318

The gym is open, so my counts should be higher this week!

Happy Monday everyone. I survived the weekend without gaining weight. Now isn't that a shame that instead of enjoying my weekend I have to dread letting my eating get out of control!!! Maybe someday it will be automatic since I'm trying to pick up new goals each month. I'm still perfect with not eating any sweets and that is really hard! It seems like especially this time of year - everywhere I go people are bringing Christmas Cookies and I am spending more time in the mall where the smells of all the different food kiosks are driving me crazy. But I have not given in so I am very proud of myself. The portion control is definitely taking a lot of work and focus and I'm still not sure if I'm doing it perfect. Its not like with sweets where you either eat them or you don't. With portions its so easy to round up. The hunger drives me crazy too - but I'm using veggies to combat that. So then I wonder - well did I go over on my portion of veggies and is that a bad thing!?!? So its a constant struggle but hopefully I am learning something as I go along here. You'd think at the age of 63 that I would have learned something about eating by now! I feel like I've been on a diet my whole life. My mother was on Weight Watchers when it first came out in the early 60's. I remember some of the weird tasting concoctions she would make and let us try! Weight Watchers has evolved along with the times and I have a couple of friends who are doing great with the program and counting points instead of calories. Anyways, I'm not sure why I got off on that tangent but I am wishing everyone a great Monday!
