Day/Weight/Comment
12/22 …..204.8….. ENDING WEIGHT LAST ROUND
12/23 …..205.0 ….. Not too bad after a late night of baking. Now they are ready to be shared…..served for Christmas…..Eaten . Gotta keep control.
12/24 …..xxxxx ….. I didn’t get to weigh this morning. I woke up to the Septic company banging on my patio door. I quickly got dressed and grabbed my coffee. After days of a mysterious septic problem they found a massive root ball (the largest they had ever seen) just under the tank lid which was blocking anything from going in. After much work they cleared the problem and things are flowing again. Ah... the joys of learning a new house! I am trying to remain grateful for my blessings. I am thrilled (and lucky) they were willing to come out on Christmas Even from 25 miles away! Yesterday consisted of very well-planned meals but there were some cookies…… We’ll see what the scale holds in the morning. Will it whisper or will it shout? More baking today.
12/25 …..205.4 ….. Merry Christmas Everyone! Sharing is Caring so I want to share with everyone that I just concretely found out that making a small saucer of cookies your lunch and skipping all the calories in the normal lunch foods DOES NOT keep you from gaining weight. Up 0.4 in the last two days. It could have been worse, but it should have been better. Moving on…… Our family dinner and gift exchange will be on Sunday when everyone has the day off. I have enjoyed a special Christmas and gift opening morning quietly at home with my son this morning. To all of you..... I hope all people all over the world find health and peace and love today (including self-love) regardless of your location, orientations, nationalities or beliefs.
12/26 …..205.4 ….. Good meals. Bad snacks yesterday. Our family dinner is tomorrow.
12/27 …..203.2 ….. Whoosh! Christmas Dinner today with all my children and grandchildren. I don’t expect today’s weight to last over the next couple of days. However, I did try to do the math and have a good day yesterday to offset the day that is coming today.

Round 136
Please join us! Starting on 12/23 JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS, we will begin Round 136
Anyone can join us at anytime during the round.
Join us! If we stay mindful we can do this, you can do this.
Welcome back past members, welcome new members, let's keep each other accountable for another 10 days!
Here is what you do: Post your daily weight and add little comments along the way of how your day went. Post everyday to let us know how you're doing! Copy and paste the days in your response--tell us how much you lost and other non scale victories (NSV) you'd like to share.
FOR NEWBIES - I find it easiest to copy the dates to a document or note in my device and edit it each morning. Then copy and paste to the message board. MFP will return you to the spot on the board where you left off on your previous visit which is nice to know if you like to scan all of the posts.
Goals
- check in at least every other day
- Participate
- Yoga at least 6 days weekly
- Morning walks at least 5 days weekly

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23 166.8 ~ {Steps 9,822} ~ Watching my grandkids so my main goal today is to get a short walk in this afternoon when it warms up. Also make healthy food choices, I check back later this evening....I decided to make cookies for Santa with my 5 year old granddaughter. After that it went down hill but it was sooo worth it given the the scale spike.
12/24 167.7 ~ {Steps 12,248} ~ We went to my daughters on Christmas Eve, unfortunately I didn’t care about what I ate, 😈😢
12/25 168.7 ~ {Steps 3,587} ~ Nothing exciting unfortunately on Christmas we decide not to cook a whole turkey dinner so we had cheeseburger. No exercising, on the bright side I didn’t eat my emotions, yay for me.
12/26 168 {Steps 11,693} ~ Consistently is the key, late night snacks gets the best of me everytime.
12/27 167.9 {Steps TBD} ~

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.

We ALL have good rounds and bad but that is part of life. Don’t stay away, stay accountable. We don’t judge, we support.-Jpv,2/13/19
What we need to succeed is a sustainable way of eating, not a DIET we go on and off.
This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE.

12/25 MERRY CHRISTMAS!🎄 118.5 Traditional Christmas Eve pizza dinner with family last night. First time to hug DGS#1 since last Christmas. Eating around 7:30 due to DGD#4 working until 7. Today they are coming over for traditional Christmas morn sticky buns which we always had when we opened gifts. Steak dinner today with neighbor.
12/26 118.0 I tried to kill my phone yesterday by knocking over a cup of coffee. It seems to be okay. DGDs #1&2 arrive from Tulsa. I will try to catch up on messages in the next few days.

Round 135 (10): 136.6 to 133.6 (-3.0 lbs)
Goals for this round:
- Continue to do yoga nightly
- Lose 1 lb - just 1!
12/23 - 133.6 - One more round for this year! I will be very happy to see 2020 go. My 5 year old is so excited for Christmas this year, and we are doing what we can to make it joyful for her. Today we’re making and decorating gingerbread people! Luckily, I’m not a huge fan of gingerbread, so less temptation for me to overindulge.
12/24 - 133.6 - And we’ll just keep holding here, I guess. I’d have liked a little bit more of a drop since I don’t plan to weigh-in or really track much tomorrow, but the number is what it is. Had a good day yesterday not eating the gingerbread cookies we made, and we went for a walk to look at lights after dinner. Our little guy got tired of the stroller 3/4ths of the way through, so he got piggyback rides the rest of the way. Good back and shoulder workout for me!
To all who celebrate it in this group, have a wonderful Christmas Eve tonight, and a very Merry Christmas tomorrow!
12/25 -DNW - Merry Christmas!
12/26 - 134.6 - Ok, that could have been much worse. We’ll see where the scale settles out over the next few days. Yesterday was amazing - chaos, but amazing. I let myself enjoy all the treats without tracking and certainly didn’t have time for a morning workout, though I did at least close my Apple Fitness rings by taking the dog for a long walk last night. Today - back to focusing on healthy eating and portion control. I started with only half a cinnamon roll for breakfast instead of a whole one, and 40 minutes of HIIT and strength training.
12/27 - 133.8 - Coming back down, and it’s even TOM which tends to push up the scale for me. I’m still enjoying some of our Christmas treats though - cinnamon rolls in the morning and peppermint cheesecake at night, plus so many cookies in the house - so I’m not expecting to see any major drops before New Years. I’m trying to get into a mental space where maintaining is ok, since the peppermint cheesecake is definitely worth it 😂

Goal: At least 15 minutes of yoga before bed each night
12/23 - Nearly fell asleep on the couch at 10 last night, but managed to do a 10 minute mindfulness video before going to bed early.
12/24 - Finished up all the wrapping last night - didn’t make time for yoga. Not going to happen tonight either, with everything we have to set up for tomorrow.
12/25 - Merry Christmas!
12/26 - Too tired to do anything but collapse last night - definitely got to get back into this habit tonight!
12/27 - 15 minutes of calm yoga before bed puts me in a much better mood for sleep

Between Solstice and Christmas, I have a tradition, I take time to reflect on where I'm at, I try not to judge myself, I don't start any new projects, and I let go of my goals, I just am - for a little while
It's been a really tough year and I might need the whole round to find the stability I want to start 2021 with, so I won't declare any goals for this round but I will still be monitoring my weight, KJ intake, and pre-planning my food (and of course reading all the JGMTD posts!)

The most wonderful day of the year.
12/26 = 90
12/27 = 90.5
Experiment Fail.
I don't feel relaxed, my asthma and digestive issues are out of control... I think I made a mistake in setting my eating plan aside over Christmas, I guess I was still thinking about it as a weight loss goal, or a diet, instead of a change to my lifestyle which supports my health.
I'll do better today.
12/28 = 90
Over kj yesterday but better than the day before, and an improvement in food choices, I'll do better again today, baby steps.
Why is it so hard to build healthy habits and so easy to return to unhealthy ones?
I'll aim to get back to my pre-holiday daily kj intake target by the end of the round.
12/29

01/01 Resolution: Stay within kj range till the March equinox.

IMO its because so much more time has been spent living with the old less healthy habits. Until the better habits become natural, we will be inclined to return to what we did before.
I just did a quick internet search and found this. "It can take anywhere from 18 to 254 days for a person to form a new habit and an average of 66 days for a new behavior to become automatic."

JGM10D Round 136🎄🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
🎄 DECEMBER 🎄
🎄🌟🎅🏻🌟🤶🌟🎅🏻🌟🎄
Looking forward:
You are not stuck at home
You are SAFE at home
One word can change your attitude
☠️One cough can change your life☠️
😷Take care! Stay safe!😷
December focus: improving stamina, strength, flexibility, which may impact the scale
Aims:2020 Focus:JGM10D ~|~ Round 135- Stabilise weight under 150
- Strengthen strategies to reframe the tendency to use unhealthy snack food as a reward/treat.
- Make sure I have prepared healthy snacks available
- Cut down on eating between meals by keeping busy
Never give up! Never give in!
Recent Back Story:- 2018 goal: get back down to 160 ✅
- 2019 goal: proceed down to 150 ✅ with 2 months to spare
- 2020 goal: maintain below 150 dropping slowly down to 145 ✅ Working on it. Strength training has slowed progress, but that’s okay.
- That's a WIN in my book!
- 2020
- Focus: maintenance! I might even manage to lose a bit more ever so slowly.
- (One good thing about Covid is that I don't have to traverse the minefield of family celebration meals.)

THERE ARE NO QUICK FIXES OR SHORTCUTS to achieving permanent change.
REMINDERS: One or two thoughts which might give heart to some of you.Stick with the process. It DOES work! But it does take time, effort, and most of all, patience!- Daily weight fluctuations are normal, and can be as much as 2 lbs a day for no apparent reason.
- A general downward trend is what we are looking for.
- Eating out can cause apparent weight gain because of high sodium levels, but usually goes quickly. Drinking extra water helps with this.
- The human body does not react instantly to what we do to it. Sometimes it can take several days to see results.
- Plateaus are a normal part of the process. The body is consolidating and adapting to your new way of eating/exercising.
- The closer you get to your goal weight, the more difficult it becomes to lose weight, as your body becomes more efficient at using what you feed it.
- When you exercise you build muscle, which takes up less space than fat, so use measurements as well as weight to assess your progress.
- Getting/Staying fit and healthy requires a lifestyle change for most people.

JUST GIVE ME 10 DAYS ~|~ Round 136 (round 68 for me ) I'm in for another round – I need this to help me keep grounded over Christmas! Thank you GrandmaJackie a brilliant champion in these unprecedented & unsettled times, for continuing to set up these challenges.
Female age 62 5' 4” - Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and have gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then; I don't want to gain any more, but would like to get back to my goal weight – I'm working at it – it's a permanent way of life !
Challenge for this round will be to stay under 133 during the festive period and then back into the 132s for the end of the round. I think that is reasonable considering it's Christmas and doable! Stick with good habits; be mindful of what I eat & drink, try to keep it in moderation, keep walking, no binges; remember keeping the 10 days binge free makes such a difference!End of round 69 134.2 lbs

12/23 131.8 – 10.61 walked yesterday incorporating day 1 week 6 C25K in 42.39 mins. 265 calories in credit. Happy Christmas Eve Eve everyone xxx !!
12/24 131 – wow!

Happy Christmas Eve
12/25 133.8 – well that's not a nice Christmas present!! So is this the scale playing with me, the chocolate, pizza, mulled wine or mince pie? Or a combination of both? Oh well, it's Christmas!! And today a rest from exercise, a chance to spend with our families which also means several hours travelling in the car, but the few hours with our grown up children and grandchildren will be precious. 9.88 miles walked yesterday incorporating 20 mins jogging and it didn't feel too bad!!
Happy Christmas to you all and your families, enjoy as best you are able. For those who have lost loved ones at this time I hope you can find peace and comfort in past memories, sending you and all those that have loved ones that are ill hugs and positive thoughts xx.
12/26 134.4 (uhh!) Such a wonderful day yesterday, treasure the memories! Back to tier 3 restrictions today, getting out for a good walk with DH. Enjoy your Boxing Day.
12/27 134 – 9.35 miles walked yesterday. 25 calories over, keeping extra goodies under control as best I can! 5 days to repair the festive damage.
12/28 133.2 – 8.47 miles walked yesterday. Woke up to falling and a covering of snow this morning, will have to rethink my planned exercise for the day, hope to still get out if the snow stops. 374 calories in credit.

Day/Weight/Comment
12/23- 122.4 My husband and I were just talking about how great dinner was last night- all 4 of us in kitchen, experimenting and cooking together. No way on earth know how to track that dinner, but the love and and quality time will be remembered forever. Foresee this as the challenge these next 10 days, will need to find a balance.
12/24- 123.4 I know this is bloat but it still just plays with your mind. My kids made dinner last night, homemade pizza, delicious. And as reported last round ,my cute little neighbor has started a trend in my cul-de-sac- what started as one devious child dropping off cookies has metastasized into everyone now dropping off goodies...So what is a neighbor to do... We made cookies last night to distribute today. Was so proud of myself I think I only had 1 molasses cookie and no chocolate chip- I really feel I deserve to be weighing less as proof of my restraint, but alas.
12/25-122.8
12/26-122.4
12/27-123.0 Hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I ate wonderful food, missed my extended family and enjoyed my immediate family. Hope I have not done to much damage. I received a ham when I volunteered at Salvation Army, opened it up and ground half to make a hash, it was exceptionally salty to taste, and I didn't add any salt. Still delicious served with an egg and leftover brussel sprouts but am exceptionally thirsty and wondering if I am bloated or becoming bloated...Will be interesting to figure this out.
12/28- 121.0 Well did not see this coming- Yeah! Honestly I just jumped off the scale, scared it could be wrong and will not weigh again until tomorrow, I am running with this.We did run out of cookies and treats Saturday night, when I may have finished the last cookie so just removing that temptation could have made the difference.

12/28 - 147.0 - I had a severe migraine yesterday that also ended with sharp pain through my ear. Took an accidental nap when I curled on the couch with a hot corn sack on my ear. Definitely didn't get water and calories in due to that. Water was close, though, as I drank a ton (including having to get out of bed twice to pee!) in the evening. I estimate just barely shy of 64oz. Better now, though still being cautious in case its the start of an ear infection. Fasted 18 hrs. Dinner was on the earlier side so another opportunity for 16+hr fast today. Also TMI should be showing up any day. Wondering if yesterday's weight was a little hormone fluctuation due to that... I'm feeling/looking a bit bloated today and I definitely believe hormones are the cause. No problem, that's normal and will be over by the end of the week (:

Previous Day's Comments12/23 - Surprised I'm not up! Homemade burgers last night and I piled mine HIGH. Couldn't finish it and I was absolutely stuffed. Feeling a bit bloated, too. Tonight is pizza since we are driving out of town to go drive through the light festival. I'll have to watch what I have for lunch and not go overboard with pizza or I'll be seeing the 150s again, no doubt. Fasted 16hrs yesterday. Dinner was late and BF wanted to make french toast for all of us for breakfast. Hopefully its more of a Brunch than breakfast - late dinner pushes my 16hrs to noon today...
12/24 - Bouncy bouncy but glad its bouncing down. Only fasted just shy of 14hrs yesterday (breakfast with kiddos). Today should be better. Pizza was only 1 slice and we finished early. No snacking despite kids snacking all night in front of me. A win! Barely made 75oz water, but I did! Making banana nut bread by request of kids right now. Was requested for me to make my homemade bread for Christmas dinner tonight so I have the dough cooling from the fridge while banana nut bread bakes. 2 loaves of regular, 1 of gluten free for the families that requested. It makes me happy that my bread attempts are so well liked. I love to bake and I love to gift others with my creations so its such a win-win for me. Especially around Christmas - its a gift to me to have been asked to make it! (in love languages, I'm a words of affirmation and this definitely applies and fills my heart).
12/25 - Merry Christmas! That's a late Christmas dinner and needed more water. All good.
12/26 - Christmas lunch/dinner (Linner?) Plus, not enough water again, though better than the day before. Really need to up that. Kids already on the way to their mom's. So quiet in this house now. Need to get my yoga in before I get too distracted and end up not doing it.
12/27 - Um..... what? Maybe delayed bloating? Don't feel/look particularly bloated. Maybe its water weight from finally getting my intake back to 75oz? Fasted 18hrs yesterday. Should easily hit 16hrs, hoping to push it to lunch for 18+, especially with this increase.

12/01 -12/28 -What better way to beat anxiety than yoga. Today I'll try to get some meditative yoga to help me calm down after last night.
12/02 -
Yesterday I got halfway through my yoga workout and the dog started throwing up everywhere. I have a weak stomach so cleaning it had me gagging and running to the bathroom. Ruined the mood. Try again today to make up for it
12/03 -Did get my yoga done yesterday. Yoga With Adriene has her December calendar up so I'm following those videos on the days I can practice. Yesterday was a 10 minute meditation yoga so I decided to get some movement as well by finishing the practice I didn't get to on 12/01. I just started over since it was also a pretty short one.
12/04 -Started my yoga practice but was interrupted with BF waking up earlier than normal. The worst part about having a house a tad too small.
12/05 -I realized I'm behind on YWA calendar. I did the meditation as day 2 instead of day 1! Oops. Hoping a short practice today since I'm not sure plans.
12/06 -Didn't get a practice in and not sure I'll get one in today. Will have to focus on getting them done during the week and give myself slack on weekends since they're always spur of the moment.
12/07 -No yoga. Couldn't even finish making coffee and BF was ready to go. I kind of figured that would happen. Hoping today I'll wake up a little bit more so I can get a practice in, even if its short and sweet.
12/08 -No yoga, work has been crazy busy with meetings. Today is even busier! Almost back to back meetings. It'll be a miracle if I can get yoga in today. The remainder of my work week looks just as bad. Will keep looking for opportunities
12/09 -Managed to squeeze in a really quick practice for gut health yesterday. Not sure I'll get to today, but I'll keep trying to squeeze something in whenever I possibly can!
12/10 -Work got stupid busy so couldn't squeeze in a practice yesterday. Once my 630am meeting is over, I'll hop on the living room TV for practice since BF won't be up until 8 at the very earliest (plus I have an 830 meeting). I'm not as groggy this morning so I think I can push through to hopefully wake me up fully.
12/11 -Right after my meeting I did a quick practice, but it was more of a morning wake up stretch to jolt some energy through you. It worked, I needed a good, over-the-top morning stretch
12/12 -Didn't get a chance to, had to run errands early before the weekend flood of tourists made it in.
12/13 -Got a quick ab yoga workout in and I'm still feeling it today. Whoooa! Need to find a nice simple practice since I'm running on 5-6hrs sleep right now (stupid insomnia) that won't leave me feeling too drained after
12/14 -I didn't get to finish my practice, but I got most of it done, so I'm calling it a success.
12/15 -I was so tired yesterday. Didn't get much sleep last night, either, but going to try for an easy stretch practice just to get some movement in
12/16 -Didn't get one in yesterday. By the time I had any kind of energy, work blew up and I used my energy working.
12/17 -Didn't happen. Was quite groggy and unmotivated yesterday. Sleepy this morning but the frigid cold shocked me awake enough I'm looking up a youtube as soon as I post to try to warm myself up with physical activity.
12/18 -Ugh, I get interrupted right at beginning. Home alone today so definitely can get one in! I really will struggle with kids here so I need to put more effort into making it happen first thing in the morning regardless how sleepy/groggy I am.
12/19 -Very short video, but got something in. Better than nothing.
12/20 -Kids awake before me and on playstation/tv so no way for me to get to my YWA videos. Hopefully, tomorrow and Tuesday I can knock some out since I'll be awake so early for work. Can't imagine anyone but the daughter would be awake THAT early. Even she might not, despite being a morning person. If I can find a place to do it, I will try to sneak one in during the day off my phone -- space is NOT on my side when kids here.
12/21 -Another day I couldn't get a practice in. Nobody awake yet so I'm about to pull up a video on the tv and knock it out. Only working today and tomorrow so I have to figure out how to get them done before kiddos wake up and take over tv Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. They will go home early Saturday so I'll be home alone all day and then back to just BF and I which I can hide in kids room to practice if need be (especially since gifts hidden in her room will be out of my way)
12/22 -I did one! I didn't want to, but I did it. And I'm searching for one to knock out this morning even though I only want to sleep instead. Must. Meet. Goal. Must. Meet. Goal. Must. Meet. Goal.
12/23 -Managed to sneak one in despite my sleepiness. Today is a little more difficult since kids up before me. Will try to get something done, though.
12/24 -Didn't manage to sneak one it. Hopefully in between bread making I can sneak something in today. It'll be short, but its better than nothing!
12/25 -Got a short one done in between baking bread! Wasn't much, but every little bit counts.
12/26 -Didn't get the chance to. Rushed like crazy and then the daughter wouldn't leave my side.
12/27 -Got a nice easy one in. Aiming for repeating it as my hammies are really tight and sore, no idea why.I did get a repeat in yesterday and the hamstring stretch felt amazing. Need to figure out one this morning. Refreshing stretch sounds really good. As does breathwork. YWA announced January she is focusing on breathwork practices for her month-long journey. Definitely will be checking that out. SO CLOSE TO GOAL!

12/23 - 145 - Birthday and Christmas carbs have caught up with me. I'm starting my holiday break from work today and don't have to go back until January 4th. I'm putting in a grocery order for pick up and baking today to get ready for our family Christmas food exchange. We are driving to each other's homes on Friday to drop off our food and presents and then going back home to open them on video call.

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?7 -

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.

12/27 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.

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.4 -

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 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.

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!

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.

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 !4
