    It was hard getting my steps in today as I was so tired, but I did it with the help of dancing to a Fred Astaire film which I'm hoping will count as my exercise for the day. I usually do a fitness DVD each day but decided not to attempt one.

    After another night of getting up 3 times I surprisingly wasn't so tired so I did a 30 minute walking video and feel quite good

    Tracked: yes
    Under: no
    Exercised: yes - 50 minutes walking

    Congratulations @prehistoricmoongoddess on your loss this week! Also, I love the dancing to Fred Astaire!

    Today I am going to focus on increasing my protein % to hopefully curb some of my snacking.

    TOM arrived and I fell victim to gourmet cookies at the store(buy one get one free sale) I feel like I failed today(despite being under), but I think I am still in a good place for Friday's weigh in... we'll see!

    @daffygirl88 thanks for asking. No luck getting into my dr office but I am feeling a little better. I got some extra sleep the past few nights, and I think its helping. I just have to make it through the next week, before my vacation starts... I'm hoping to continue to get some good sleep and just keep an eye on how I feel.

    @prehistoricmoongoddess fabulous work this month! What a great way to end the month!!! Keep up the awesome work! :smiley:

    Still getting my exercise in, just haven’t been posting daily for the accountability challenge. I was down 2 lbs from last week (Still up for the month) this morning so there is hope

    Good evening all!
    I need your help!
    I’m going away on Monday for 4 nights with a friend - we’ve booked a cottage by the sea with a hot tub... I’m so excited! But... it’ll be an eating and drinking holiday - I’ve not really been drinking while I’ve been eating healthy (I’ve bought 2 bottles of JD and a few bottles of Diet Coke - so I feel okay with that side.
    Food wise I’m a bit 🤯 - I obviously want to let my hair down a bit but I don’t want to revert to my usual ‘binge eating’ so I’m currently in the middle of an online shop to take things that are ‘not bad’ - any ideas?? We don’t really want to be cooking meals but I don’t want to be eating out all the time either!! Any ideas of things to buy that require little prep and won’t be too damaging!?

    What do you think? 🥰

    Hi, guys. I have bitten off more than I can chew.... Having an early Thanksgiving dinner at my house on Sunday and stressing a lot. Plus, we made plans tomorrow night to go out to dinner with friends!!! I am taking this week off (way off!!). Please transfer my weight over on Saturday, and I will see you all back here on Monday.

    Thursday 24th

    Logged food yes
    Under calories yes
    Exercise yes,

    Steps 7966

    Water intake 500mls

    Had less than 5 hrs sleep last night. Exercised ok in the morning and had breakfast ok. I ate again early in the afternoon but after eating I took a swig of water and all of a sudden my stomach was doing somersaults and I was in pain the rest of the afternoon.

    Rested all evening and I have taken no more food. Managed to get a few more steps in, but not what I usually do.

    Hoping a better 24 hours is to come.

    @HASWLRS - Enjoy your time on break :) Life's too short not to enjoy time with friends and family <3

    @knlizght - Instead of restricting your self on your vacation, what about smaller portions and still enjoy what others are eating? For snacks can you take cut up veggies, or maybe hard boiled eggs...Skinny pop popcorn? Pinterest is my best friend when trying to find suggestions for food ideas. I hope you have a great time away!
