To help the group out a bit, I posted into the Challenges board about joining the best challenge on MFP (This one) in December.

Daily messages will keep it on the first page of Challenges (which is how a lot of people find the group).

I plan to be back for December.

Ran for 30 minutes today without any walking! I think that's First for me since kidney donation. Slow, but still a run.
Also had rehab session and physio very happy with progress. Kids class this afternoon. Such fun to help the next generation learn this beautiful art.

Surprised I didn't wake up with more muscle stiffness after rolling yesterday, but not complaining about it.

Food choices not ideal but within limits. I got paid to help my friend at church with admin stuff in left over lindt balls...

Still on track for that circle.

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

27th November
Exercise: Yes, 25 minutes swimming, energetic breast stroke, and lots of walking, well over an hour. Got the kids' St Nicholas presents wrapped and sent off.
Calories: on the dot, but without using any of my exercise calories, about 600!
Tracking: Yes, logged everything.
Finished the active part of the day with a trip to the cinema.
Now sprawled on the sofa with a well-earned 10 cl of Bordeaux and 40g of Tomme de Savoie cheese...

@RangerRickL Love the scenes in the photos again, especially the friendly pig.

Yes to exercise, calories, and tracking.

Pass days: 1/3

I should be in the Winner's Circle for this month.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone who celebrates the holiday.

Hi all, I've been quiet for a few days. I was busy traveling for work. But I still was thinking of the team and did my best within reason, given the fact that I went to Crèpe country. And crêpes are definitely some of my favorite food 🙂

I've walked as much as time allowed, ate consciously and tracked as well as I could. Did go over a few days, but within reason. And got to create quality connections with my new work team.

I got back last night and weighed in this morning to a happy number. I'm now down a total of 15 lbs. I'm very excited about that.

I'm out of the winners circle but definitely feel like a winner being part of this group. Signed up for the month of December. It's definitely going to be a tricky one but I'm up for the challenge!

@RangerRickL beautiful shots. I was in Costa Rica a few years ago. Your pictures are bringing up fond memories.

@Chinkiri where do you live? You seem to be traveling quite a bit in Southern France. I live in Barcelona right now but grew up in Paris.

won't be in winner's circle this month, maybe not next month either but i'd like to make it in jan/fed/march/etc

Nov. 27

hm, i'm thinking pass? well actually yea it's a pass cuz i didn't track my food. i've been so busy preparing thanksgiving meals (and succeeded!) that i never set time for myself to eat a proper meal, just lived off caffeine and water and then had a small plate of leftovers mom brought home and the sweet potato skins (w/ oil on them) leftover from makign sweet potato casserole and then for dinner i made hash and homemade dinner rolls with butter so i may or may not be over my calorie goal but im feeling too tired & overwhelmed right now to figure out how to log all that lol.

was super active today though, on my feet most of the day since 9am (with frequent but short breaks) and definitely snuck in an upper body workout from rolling out pie dough and handkneading bread dough

goodnight, and happy holidays!
