    @donna25trinity Way to go on conquering that hill today! 🏆

    @lesdarts180 I am inspired by your return to the machines at the gym. I can see you giving yourself a “stern talking to” and sometimes wish you’d come here to Canada and deliver one to me! Keep on keeping on Lesley 💛

    Super to see all three ✅✅✅ Chris and hope you are continuing to heal well. @WhatMeRunning

    @dsgoingtodoit
    I love that Churchill quote and it was a perfect choice for today! "Failure is not fatal and success is not final. It is the courage to continue that counts!" Thank you for sharing that with us today and inspiring me. 🥰

    Wednesday December 1

    So pleased to see all the posts today! Will check back tomorrow on this thread to read further posts regarding December 1.

    As for me, I expect this for today and will report back if anything changes:

    ✅ Tracked all (and was reminded by the post today by @SummerSkier that I need to do more pre-logging for this week and the recurring daily items (2/3 cup milk for my tea; all my vitamins, minerals, and supplements, etc) for all of
    December.

    ✅ Still quite under in calories for today so will need to have some more protein before calling it a day.

    ✅ Exercise - Stepping onto the treadmill for the final steps and exercise of the day. Very icy outside here again today and I destroyed one set of IcyTrax earlier today on the dog walk and had to cut it short. Got two replacement pairs tonight at Costco so there I now have a set PLUS a spare. Talked my husband into having a set too. 🌟

    Wishing everyone a good night/morning/day — wherever you are in the world. 🥰

    @Pammy757 - No worries about the Pass Day. Thanks for showing up! I hope and pray you feel better.

    @Juffelman49 - Honey, sure hope you feel better soon! *hugz*. Never heard of Pahla B Abs. I guess she’s YouTube famous!?

    Closed all my Apple watch rings today

    0 Pass days used

    I had to laugh a bit this morning - was "shopping my closet" and trying on dresses and jeans to find something that fit. Apparently my Apple Watch considers that exercise. I found some dresses and jackets that I don't think I've ever worn that now fit, some even with the tags still on. I was so excited :-)

    “New things that fit that didn’t before” is always such a great feeling! Congrats!

    How exciting Marisa to have your own clothes boutique to shop from 🥰 I have asked my family for an Apple Watch for Christmas so I hope to know what “closing my Apple rings” means and how it can help me. ♥️

    @Jjjcat - I love “killing two birds with one stone”. In your case, walk the dog and get workout/YES!). Great job!

    @Donna25trinity You are well on your way to the winner’s circle again!

    @SummerSkier - What discipline! I’d like to cultivate that Pre-Log Habit, do you do it the night before or day before?

    @Lesdarts180 - “...and gave myself a stern talking to last week…” THAT part made me chuckle! Oh now I know how that “donating to the gym” and you’re not going feels. Glad you showed up today. Let’s finish this month Strong!

    @TerriRichardson112 - YES! Welcome to December. You’re going to do just as amazing as you did last month! Congrats on No passes in November!

    @Healthymumlife - From one mom to another, I love your username. Super cute!

    @Mshawski- Wow! You put in work with those 5 miles. Sometimes, showing up is just half the battle. Oh and those GG finger puppets were PRETTY epic...Just sayin...


    @Tahm42- Great Elliptical Work! I see @WhatMeRunning answered your question, but I wanted to add that being physically active and consistent is the goal, not necessarily the intensity. You must do what’s best for your body and everyone goes through seasons. Go for time, but you can break it (5 min or 10 min increments) if you’re ever not feeling up to it. Take care!

    @Bradkcrew Your hard work IS something to smile about! Three smiles, Let’s do it again tomorrow!

    @Mrs_Hoffer - Good to see you back on the saddle on the first day, even though you are not feeling 100. Hope you start feeling more like yourself soon!

    @BMcC9 - Good to see you starting out in fine fashion! Way to get those steps in!

    @Avvuong - Walking Around Target for Exercise? I’ve totally done that before. Super Fun. Not mad at cha!

    @Dsgoingtodoit - I never heard of the Winston Churchill quote "Failure is not fatal and success is not final. It is the courage to continue that counts!" It’s such a good one. Thanks for sharing. And BTW you were winning in the exercise department today with that triple hitter of Dog walking, Zumba and Weights. Way to Go!


    @Yrc_pr A dance workout video? I wonder what kind of dance? Nevertheless, “Work it!” *high 5*

    @_JeffreyD_ “perfect for December so far” LOVE IT! Soak it in whenever you can. Keep it up!


    @Fossil9078- Way to work and preserve those bones of yours! *see what I did there?*

    @Arc2Arc- Great hike! No scenic Mountains around here in Michigan so I bet that was a sight to see!

    @Enlightenme3 - Congrats on being able to go showing in YOUR OWN closet! That has to feel so good and rewarding! Keep up the good work!

    @LazyBlondeChef- Looks like it was a weights day on Wednesday. Does that mean you’re doing something different on Thursday? Sometimes I like to “Groundhog” a workout if I like it and just do it again!

    Dec 1
    Well, I ended last month strong, but started this month weak.
    Exercise - 15 minutes MommaStrong, 45 minutes walk
    Tracking - Preplanned. We got a takeout Hanukkah feast from a local restaurant, and I tried to estimate what I was going to eat. But then the food came and it was so much food and we decided to save some for later and eat it differently and then the kids wanted something else added to the menu and it just go too chaotic and I gave up on tracking and then did go a bit "hog wild" after that as the feast included dessert too.
    Calories -I had planned for yesterday to be my high calorie day, so I may or may not have been over. Who knows?
    Pass Day 1

    I have today planned and tracked already, and I will be eating lunch outside of my house (which is not usual since I work from home) and it is already packed. That is at my maintenance calorie level, which I had planned to do until Monday when I go back to my weight loss level.

    I am definitely feeling eager to get back into the weight loss swing of things. I think this break has definitely re-energized me for weight loss. My body has been feeling really not great with all this stuff I have been eating!
