Thank you everyone! I was very happy with my time! On a side note, one of my sons ran too, not because he had any interest but just to be supportive. He went for maybe 6 runs before the race just to be sure he could go the distance and threw down a casual 8:05 pace. Oh to be 24 again....
Exercise:
LOL
Tracking: Yes, although it was interesting trying to come up with calories for a bite of grape popsicle, a bite of pineapple freeze pop, 6 raisins, and two swigs of chocolate milk.
Calories: Yes indeed. Despite my newly acquired fitbit trying to tempt me by adding 1173 exercise calories, I stuck rock solid at 1200. I've still got more fight in me!

Taking a break from walking to see if I can get the final soreness remaining from plantar fasciitis to go away as it has lingered now for too long and only seems noticeably improved after days with no walks. Exercise was only cleaning and stretching, which almost felt like cheating today, but I know it isn't. Going to try some new exercises this week, perhaps those YouTube workouts I mentioned last week.

Yes x3
I'm my experience negative motivations don't last. If I'm losing weight because I feel bad about myself or similar it won't happen. If I'm losing weight to be healthier in the long run and to feel good it's much easier to keep track.6 -
Congratulations @bradkcrew - that is awesome!
Happy Thanksgiving @jamcnewman and to all my neighbors to the north!

FEAR… a word that has many connotations but one that I will at times embrace just because I feel the need to try and make a change for myself.
0/3 pass days. Today I did some spin after returning home from my first mountain bike ride in 4 years a little scared at first that fear piece as I went alone and have not ridden in 4 yrs due to you have heard this before my elbow radial head fracture and then along came COVID after the healing process but today I went over 2 miles on the trail alone no elbow pain either I feel like I am coming back to my old self again!
Tracked and logged and room for a snack 😊8 -
✅✅✅I keep forgetting to add a pass day status: 3 pass days remaining.
Functional strength training class today. Woke up so stiff I could barely bend to touch my shins let alone my toes. Luckily I warmed up enough enroute to the gym and during class warm up that class was fine and the rest of the day had been good. I clearly missed the memo that you’re supposed to feel better and rested when you wake up 😂
I meal prepped this guy for the week in an effort to continue the freggies focused dinner menu. He’s very very good. A tad spicy, but finishing him off with some sour cream - it was delicious.

Self-depreciating rant and dress obsession:I have a work in person meeting in like 4 months that’s sending me into a bit of a spin as my original motivator (via making me feel terrible) to lose weight will be there and I want to be closer to goal than I am. It also means I may be over thinking and over buying dresses an in an effort to find a dress that makes me look kick a** and not like a blob which is what I’m feeling like lately. This is what I landed from thredUP for like $100 total. I’m hoping one of them is THE dress. If you’d like to know exactly how insecure this trip has got me - I may or may not have googled the best colors for blue eyes. 😬 Pinks and blues are a go. The light blue dress on the right is actually a pretty good color match to my eyes (I think my eyes are slightly grayer) so I’m wondering if that one will be too much and maybe they get lost. We’ll see. Fingers crossed one of them makes me look decent.
Thanks for the recipe and for sharing the dress photos Maryann. You will look fabulous and like a boss babe in any of them!

Yes I tracked everything I ate and drank.
I went over my calories by 47!
It’s ok. Sticking with it
I guess I can’t count as exercise, but have been cleaning, moving stuff, and prepping for painting all day.
This is my first pass used
This sounds an awful lot like "exercise" to me! Especially if you did it "all day"!3 -

Yes x3 today and that is HUGE because we had our Thanksgiving dinner and this was originally meant to be a planned pass day. This means I might still be able to swing the Winner's Circle if I manage the rest of my month well. Did I eat all my exercise calories? Yep! Did I eat 1200 calories in 1 meal alone? Yep! Doesn't matter, I'm still following my rules 5

✅ - Exercise 30 minute walk that I wouldn’t have done had it not been for the challenge!
✅ - Calories within budget, even with having dinner out and a beer!
✅ - Tracked everything
