    MINI CHALLENGE
    DATE: Sunday, December 23, 2018
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercised: No - had a bad headache today. I’m starting to notice a cause and effect relationship between extra insane workouts and next day bad headaches. Apparently I no longer have the crazy workout recovery ability I did when I was 20, who knew?!

    No worries. I think a few have lost track of time. Just weigh in on Saturday the 29th and you will be fine.

    Good job making a cause and effect observation. Now you can alter your workouts accordingly!!

    Just normal fluctuations....not doing anything to aid weight loss right now, unfortunately.

    Enjoy with you family it’s the best Christmas present you can give yourself xoxo

    Thanks, Tami!

    Had my husband's family over today. My father-in-law didn't come because he spent the whole day with his mother. Grandma is at death's door, but will not walk through just yet. Other than that, it went mostly well. I did reheat the turkey too long so the white meat was dry and there is so much food left over!!!!!! And being the host, I really feel like I didn't visit with anyone for any appreciable amount of time. I didn't stuff myself as in year's past so I don't feel terrible, so that's something positive.

    I weigh myself every day and am amazed when whooshes happen. I basically maintained last week, even with doing everything correct. All of a sudden this morning I’m down 4 pounds to 245 since Friday and am officially in the overweight BMI category! Not that BMI is accurate for me, but it’s still nice not to be considered obese anymore :). My goal is to maintain this whoosh until after Christmas.

    Congrats on the whoosh, Mike! Maintaining between now and the New Year would be amazing!!

    MINI CHALLENGE
    DATE: Monday, December 24, 2018
    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Umm... Yes!
    Exercised: Yes - 20 minute walk and an hour of house cleaning.

    Had Christmas Eve dinner with my in laws so kept food super lower calorie until I got there. I was planning on going over but wanted to try, just in case the number was close. And it was! I’m stuffed off salmon, veggies, yams, cauliflower rice, nuts, dinner rolls and butter! :). Even had some small dessert to make it all fit into calorie goal. At this point in the journey no one laughs when I break out the food scale at big meals and grill people on what EXACTLY they used in their recipes :)

    Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and happy holidays in general!

    Well, just trying not to fall asleep between now and midnight Mass. I wish all who celebrate a very blessed Christmas. Enjoy your day with those who are near and dear to you. I will be extremely busy tomorrow, so I'll see you all back here on Boxing Day.

    Merry Christmas!

    You've have shown such progress in your journey that your family knows you are serious. I am not surprised that they are used to you and your food scale!!
