    Let's be thinking about our goals for January as we move into a new year. There are lots of 30-day challenges out there, or you can create your own or continue with a previous fitness goal and track it here. The "goal" is to train together to meet our own individual needs because we are all in such different places in our journeys. This is not a competition between group members, but a way to encourage each other to strive toward our own fitness targets. Who is up for the challenge?

    I'm in! Need to brainstorm ideas for myself that are challenging but definitely doable.

    12/23 177.4 I am not eating the way I should. I was in the groove before Mom’s unexpected illness and death, but now, I’ve not worked my way back to that state of mind yet. Lots of cooking and baking to do the next two days, so I’m just hoping not to blow too much of my progress. I’m doing an IF today, so I’m hoping that will help get me centered again.
    12/24 178 UGH! I almost didn’t come on to post this today. But I am here despite my reluctance, so that’s an NSV, isn’t it? I had sushi and wonton soup for dinner and didn’t realize until afterwards just how much sodium there is in that!! If I drink lots of water today and be mindful about what I eat, perhaps I can send this the other direction tomorrow. That would be a small win, so let’s go for that! It's pouring rain today, so any exercise I get in will have to be indoors. You know what? The more I sit here and think about what to type, the madder I get at this number. Let's see where that takes me today!!!
    12/25 177.6 is a small victory for me! Merry Christmas! I hope it signals a mindset shift. We had 3 inches of snow yesterday afternoon/evening which has given us a rare thing here in the South—a WHITE CHRISTMAS! It’s all still here this morning, and it is so very beautiful!
    12/26 177.6 Wow! Wasn’t expecting that, even though I did try to keep things managed yesterday! I did enjoy breakfast and late lunch on Christmas. But that was the last meal, only had a couple nibbles late in the day, and drank lots of water. High yesterday was 25 degrees. Brrr. That’s COLD for here. All our snow is still hanging around. Not sure how my northern friends stand this stuff ALL winter. Blessings to you all!
    12/27 179.0 Whoa! This is totally unexpected except for the fact that I could NOT get enough water yesterday and even asked my husband if he put a lot of salt on the steaks. My food choices were definitely not this bad yesterday. I supposed it could be some of the Christmas stuff just now showing up, but I hope it’s water. I leave today to go back to my Dad’s to spend the week.
    12/28 No scales…totally forgot to grab my scales before I left home. Scrounged around here at Dad’s house and found an old scale, but I have to buy one of those little round, flat batteries for it today.

    12/23 6-mile hike in the Smokies—Geez that felt SO good!!! Those mountains are good for my soul!
    12/24 1.3 mile walk with pup and stroller yesterday afternoon.
    12/25 10-mile exercise bike session followed by lots of additional steps for the day
    12/26 10.5 mile exercise bike ride
    12/27 10.7 mile exercise bike ride; will take a quick ride before I get ready this morning so I can meet the bike goal I set for the challenge.
    12/28 5 mile exercise bike ride to MEET MY BIKING GOAL for the challenge! Also did 2.82 mile walk after driving to NC

    Total toward 100 mile goal walked by 12/31 (since 11/14)= 75.06 WALK
    Total Bike Miles toward Goal: 105.13 BIKE GOAL ACHIEVED!!!

    Kick 2020 to the Curb Goal: 3-30 min exercise bike workouts per week= 105 miles by Jan. 1 in addition to the walking goal I'm already working on.
    May do another 5K walk on or around Jan. 1, too, and just see if I can beat my Turkey Trot time. When I set those goals, I had no idea how much time I would spend sitting at my mother’s bedside, so I most likely won’t meet them now. It’ll be ok. I just need to work back up to getting in more movement every day now.

    Day/Weight/Comment
    12/23: 177.5
    12/24: 177.2 Will definitely see an spike up on the scale tomorrow. I've pre-logged my Christmas breakfast & dinner and I'm over by 1000 calories and that's just eating small, mindful portions and no snacking. It's my favorite meal of the year, so I will enjoy it and scale right back down the next day. My annual Cookie Exchange was not held this year because of Covid, so at least there are not a million delicious homemade cookies in the house. I've only made my husband's and daughter's favorites, and those don't tempt me! The weather is supposed to be miserably windy & heavy rain the next 2 days, so won't be able to get a run in to offset these extra calories but hope to walk on the treadmill (I can't run on a treadmill, find it miserable). Looking forward to a very happy Christmas with my husband & daughter & sending good cheer to all who are celebrating!
    12/25: DNW, did not track calories, did not log....had a lovely, lovely day with my little family!
    12/26: 177.4 Don't think this is an accurate number as I weighed in very late this morning (actually afternoon) and think my holiday extra calories are in limbo and haven't shown up on the scale yet. Going to go try to outrun them and get a few miles in outside today! Totally okay if the scale jumps up tomorrow, still will be 5 days to get everything back under control before this round ends!
    12/27: 178.1 There's that holiday uptick I was expecting. But it was another late weight in, so this number still might not be accurate and go up again tomorrow. Got in a good run yesterday, was a beautiful if cold day, and enjoyed spending time with the family watching movies and still enjoying some delicious holiday foods (in moderation). The plan for today is a strength workout and a long fast/OMAD.
    12/28: 179.4 This is my 1st weigh-in at my normal morning time since Christmas Eve, this seems about right for the expected holiday fluctuation. Now I have 4 more weigh-ins to get it back down. Have a run planned for today & its expected to be in the 40's which will make it a nice one! But need to check the weather for the rest of the week to see when to do my New Year's 5K, I think New Years Day is supposed to be bad weather.

    I've only been averaging about 1 run a week since Thanksgiving, but this little challenge kept me at least doing that! I'm in for the January one, whatever that may be:)

    I went a little, but not too, crazy on my BD yesterday — pizza, cake, wine. 🥳 We do have leftover pizza for lunch, but I’ll have salad & yogurt for dinner, so should be ok. I’ve done no baking this year, though I will make a mince pie tomorrow because, hey, it’s Christmas and we need some traditional treat! And I LOVE mince (meat), with no actual meat. Luckily, DH is not a big sweets eater so he doesn’t mind that I didn’t fill the kitchen with goodies this year.

    12/24 - 182 - 1539
    Lots of salt yesterday. Lots of water today! I’m baking my one and only baked goody this morning — mince pie — and the house smells fabulous! Otherwise, we’re planning a very quiet Eve and Day, zooming our UU evening service of light, hope, and music, and reading Christmas-gift books. For all who celebrate, wishing you Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza— Peace to all!

    12/25 - 182.4 - 1674
    Merry Christmas! My mincemeat pie came out gorgeous — I’d share for real if I could, but this is the best I can do.
    Wishing you peace, joy, health, and love.

    12/26 - 184 - 1901
    Ho ho ho! I ate happily yesterday, and enjoyed everything. The high yesterday was 16F with a 1F windchill, so no walk, but a lovely day to curl up with a new book and a cup of tea.

    I had a bit of a pig out yesterday. We ordered out for lunch and pretty much nibbled the rest of the day — no real junk, but more sodium than usual, I think. I feel waterlogged. It’ll be fine. Now we return to our regularly scheduled program. 🖥

    High-calories week, but that was expected. I still feel bloated, so I’ll try for lots more water today. This week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is odd in the best of times, and this year it’s especially weird! I’m thinking of stringing lights around my office to cheerful things up pending spring. Maybe I’ll leave the tree up until April or so as well! Wishing you a peaceful, hopeful final week of this uproar of a year.

    Let's be thinking about our goals for January as we move into a new year. There are lots of 30-day challenges out there, or you can create your own or continue with a previous fitness goal and track it here. The "goal" is to train together to meet our own individual needs because we are all in such different places in our journeys. This is not a competition between group members, but a way to encourage each other to strive toward our own fitness targets. Who is up for the challenge?

    Yes, I’m in, too. I need to think about my goals/plans, but I know I’ll be aiming for small behavioral targets rather than grandiose changes. Thanks for creating the lovely banner, @UTMom81 !
