    Good Evening Everyone...

    I've been doing good this week. Still no cardio. But diet is on point, and I did do Leg Day on Friday. I did an extra workout on Thursday and I did some Extra Chest work on Saturday.

    In fact I benched 100 Pound dumbbells for the first time in 17 years and did an instagram video of it for fun!

    Hmmm I also installed a 3 Black and Red Wall Control panels in the exercise room.. (black and red theme of course).... So it's been pretty busy.

    But the reason I'm posting here, is I'm kind of just bored with posting. I think I'm just going to do my own thing from here on out. Maybe I'll post elsewhere from time to time, Especially as I reach some major goals? Or something interesting happening. Along that line. But I'm not so interested in posting on the day to day anymore.

    SO It's been fun, But I would like to excuse myself from the Team. Thank for all the support along the way though. ;)

    Good luck Everyone! :)

    @MJ_Keto
    It’s a brand new week so you can turn things around. How is the running going?

    @Melaniebl2000
    Awesome loss! Has your motivation improving? Did you use any tips the group offered?

    @Poobah1972
    Jonathan, I am sorry to see you go. I am going to miss reading about all your gains with strength training. I hope your back starts improving soon. If you ever want to come back let us know. Wishing you great success on the rest of your weight loss journey.

    @rwood566
    That’s some crazy steps. I need some lessons from you on staying on point with eating.

    @jayenguk
    That sounds like a lot of work. You certainly won’t need the gym this week.

    Steps ❌
    Close Rings ❌

    No exercise yesterday. I did reach my stand and move goal. I think I may have burned more than the 45 I got from the calorie adjustment. We put together my desk for 3 hours and it is not finished. I am sure I burned a few doing that. I am off to the pool for some laps and then cardio/arm workout.

    Question


    We are getting very close to the holidays. Our American teammates have Thanksgiving this Thursday. Christmas is a month after that. What do you see as your biggest struggle this holiday season? In a few days, we will look at ways to help with the obstacles of the holiday season.

    My biggest struggle right now is getting everything done before surgery on the 15th. I am glad I got into the heart of the season early this year. My true struggle will begin on the 16th of December.

    Do a little each day. You don’t want to over stress yourself before surgery. Do you foresee any food struggles during the holidays?

    My biggest struggle will definitely not over eating during the holidays. This year my Mom will be visiting so there will be more eating out. In a 2 week period we will celebrate my granddaughters sweet 16, Christmas Eve, Christmas day, New Year’s Eve and Day. I will not be logging for 2 weeks so I have to practice mindfulness. Sometimes this is easier said than done.

    My biggest struggle this holiday season is to stay on track without logging any food ... I want to see if I can do this on my own for the the rest of November and all of December ... taking a break from Keto ...and I will restart on Jan. 1st ... I want to enjoy Thanksgiving and Christmas and my Birthday at the end of December

    @lindamtuck2018 I am so frightened by the thought of the sensation of hunger after they remove the grapefruit sized lipoma off of my stomach. I am already thinking I will need to be very vigilant with the measuring. I have not felt a hungry sensation for years. I eat on schedule because of that. I won't have that I am stuffed sensation 3 bites in either so I do not know what eating is going to be like on the 16th. Yes I am terrified.
