December 13
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Today was challenging; had to turn down chocolate that I wanted in order to stay within budget, and had to exercise when it was the last thing I wanted to do!

Tracking: Yes.
Calories: Yes.
Exercise: Yes. Chipped away at my exercise ring all day. It only shows 20 mins, but it was definitely over an hour. I really need to get this thing recalibrated!

Another fun day!
It's the end of the year accounting and meetings, plus final tallies on the business. You cannot manage what you don't measure...sounds a lot like "Tracking".
Anyway, Calories: okay since I was under by more than 400
Exercise: I overdid the treadmill pace and the ankle and foot are swollen. I got my minutes in though
Tracking: good.6 -
Yes x3 for me! Woo!
My partner and I usually go on holiday together in January rather than giving presents. This year we can't travel so I am thinking of getting him a sunrise hot air balloon flight instead.5 -

It is always board games for our family! We always pick a joint one that we want, and sneak in extras for each other under the Christmas tree anyway This year it's Azul and some mini-expansions for Carcassonne.
@w8goal4life I can't take a picture of it atm, but my favourite item is a musical Christmas tin that I've had since childhood. It is a Christmas-themed cookie tin with a wind-up mechanism that plays carols and other traditional melodies. Mine does Holy Night. I don't know how popular those are in the US. They used to be quite common where I live, nowadays they are mostly nice nostalgic items that you can get online or in a second-hand store. Mine looks very similar to this:

Exercise - Yes - cross country run
Calories - Yes
Tracking - Yes
I am totally chuffed. I used to be quite fit but I broke my foot/ankle cross country running a couple of years ago. It has given me loads of problems and spent most of a year and a half on crutches. Last night was the first proper cross country run I've done since my accident. I am totally unfit now but just to be able to move slowly up and down some frost covered hills was fantastic. Chuffed to bits. I just need to keep careful so it doesn't happen again :-)6 -
Exercise - Yes
Calories - Unfortunately slightly over so no
Tracking - Yes

Dec. 12 +13
Pass #2+ #3 I think?
no exercise, binged, and didnt rly track the binge
on the 12th i found out I gained 8lb for some reason (i woke up that morning super bloated and my pants barely fit and i think it was just water weight or something) and it upset me so much cuz i thought i was making progress and it was really disappointing. but instead of being logical and mindful by staying calm and not letting this affect me, i felt so defeated it seemed it didn't matter what crap I ate (i also didnt get to eat enough from 10am-8pm, so being starved and exhausted while doing groceries didn't help pass by the temptation to pick out all the junk food i want smh)
not sure where the weight gain came from but i think it was mostly water weight from a period ?? did i eat too many calories the past week on accident and didnt realize or remember?? oh bother
then on the 13th i was burnt out and depressed & guilty and there wasn't really any healthy food in the house (which is my fault for buying so many munchies) to eat so i justspent all day eating junk food & laying around. not even yoga. but we got more groceries that night and it's all my healthy stuff so i go back on track the 14th like nothing happened
I'm mailing my best friend a big package for Christmas
it's my first time doing something like that in our 4-5year long friendship, but I feel like it's super important I do something so kind for her this christmas cuz I think she needs it. She's had a rough past couple of years and it seems the holidays right now are bringing her down so I just wanna give her something special and maybe she'll start to cheer up a little I'm gonna bake her some molasses-chocolate chip Blondies with a caramel-toffee topping, and I'm sending her some makeup and bath salts and snacks. I hope she loves it 5 -
@harvest_bounty So very nice to have a Christmas music box since childhood. I'm sure you treasure the memories of those musical moments!1

Yes x 3
Hubby isn’t a gift giver, so over the years, we have not really exchanged gifts. But as I look back, we have enhanced & improved each other’s lives in many ways throughout the year: a better office chair for him, an Echo that turns on & off our lights - now with a song (!), spontaneous flowers from grocery store, and I’m gently helping him organize/purge office papers, old electronics, & the garage! Even labeled the refrigerator drawers (LOL) & set up one area for all our office supplies! He had really enjoyed being able to get jobs done more quickly by knowing right where to find his tools or needed item! ♥️

@molly3210 best wishes for a successful surgery and quick recovery
Thank you so much!0 -
Yes for everything.
I was tempted to hop on the scale to see how much progress I've made, but I think I'm going to hold off and weigh myself later. Weighing myself shifts the focus off of health onto the number on the scale REAL quick.1
