I wish sleeping counted as exercise as I would be racking up lots of hours. My cough is pretty well under control, I just have to stay on top of my puffers. I am going to rest again today and hoping tomorrow I am back on my game. Please keep your fingers crossed that this passes as we start moving on Monday. I am off to have a nap and will check in later for weights. No test results yet.

I’ve been busy with the kid’s doing Christmas stuff and definitely ate too many cookies. Good news is that I had my fill and I am officially done with them. My weight was up a little today but I had a big salty meal last night and I wasn’t surprised.
I went for a 4 mile hike today to compensate. I think I pushed it a little too much though after donating blood on Tuesday. The hike was rated as moderate because the trail went to the summit of one of the foothills. It kicked my butt and really had my heart going causing a little dizziness. But I pushed through it and made it to the ridge and felt a sense of accomplishment. The view was amazing and it was just a nice afternoon with just me and the hubby.
I am all ready for tomorrow and grateful that I didn’t have to do the whole Santa thing now that my daughter is 11. It made Christmas so much easier this year, especially not having to deal with that bleeping elf on the shelf.
I just checked my email before bed and got a great surprise. I am now eligible for the coronavirus vaccine and can schedule my dose. I was under the impression that my phase wouldn’t be done until January. So, I’m glad things are moving faster. I hope all of you get the opportunity soon too. How is it working in your countries? Speaking of C-19, @lindamtuck2018 I hope you feel better soon and your test comes back negative.
My oldest is 10 and I am surprised she still believes, mostly happy about it. But the stupid elf, I stuck ours in a jar for 14 days with a mask to quarantine and then after that he only moved every few days.
Congrats on your date to get the vaccine!
That’s too funny. We watched a bunch of videos yesterday of her talking to the elf. She was mortified but I loved it. That elf was a pain in the dupa but it was a labor of love. I let the kids decorate this year she still put out the little tree and prominently displayed the elf and its reindeer pet. So, even though she no longer believes, I know some great memories were created and there’s still a special place in her heart for “Snowflake”. It was all worth it 💗
Last year I suspected she no longer believes and she told me so shortly after Christmas. She was afraid to tell me because she wouldn’t get any presents if she didn’t believe so she waited until after to be sure 😂

I was very surprised on the scale this morning. I ate on plan for christmas but didn't want to limit myself too much because I wanted to try everything I made plus the meal my parents made. So while nothing I ate was terrible, I logged everything and was a few hundred calories over what I usually eat in a day. I guess the rest of the week evened everything out? Regardless, I'm happy!

Linda I am so sorry to read this. I have heard that it is vital to do what you can to combat inflammation. Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C, and even turmeric is helpful. I hope you get over it fast. You have my thoughts and prayers.0 -

Woke up at my lightest weight this year on Christmas day. Despite this, overshot my calories with cookies and a slice of pecan pie. Expected to be a few pounds heavier this morning but gained less than a pound. Have a feeling that it will catch up with me tomorrow because it is weigh in day.
Below zero windchills have passed through so will be able to get outside again. Gym won't reopen until December 28th so looking forward to that. Thought that my shoes were fitting looser so measured my feet today and found the right foot went down 1 1/2 sizes and the left foot went down a size. The weird things that our bodies do when we lose weight.
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas or Boxing day.
@lindamtuck2018 so sorry that you have covid. Wishing you a speedy recovery so that you can enjoy the move and your new home.2 -
Hello lovelies! Happy boxing day! I'm here, and I am not going to fall asleep while reading messages tonight- nope, definitely not!!! I think the excitement of santa's visit made me sleepy!! haha
I'm going to start daily check ins again come January. Working on this time management thing. But I have not gone over calories, and kept with my water intake. I haven't, however, done any workouts yet. I just need to get myself into it- maybe tomorrow. If I am up early enough lol.
I can't believe this time next week it will be 2021!!!!4 -

Doing ok so far this week no big weight spikes. Been some lazy days which I don’t love because I feel like I can easily just turn into a blob but there is really nothing to do. I have worked out both days. Going to try to gather my energy to work through meal pl for the week and food shop.
Hoping those that aren’t feeling well start to feel better soon!!!2 -

Weigh In Day: Sunday

I really didn't want to weigh-in today. I blew it over the holiday and the scale really shows it today. I still ended up below the 25lb mark to finish the month and I am confident that I will be below 180 by 12/31 to finish the year in the 170s. I was close to the 177 mark this week before Christmas so all hope is not completely lost. I still think is possible to get to that goal by 12/31 if I really focus this week to stick to my macros and water goal. I am sure there are at least a pound or two of fluid from all of the excess sodium and lack of water this week.
Wishing everyone better weigh-ins this week and looking forward to crushing my goals in 2021!7 -
