    Did my hour walk over lunch yesterday and psyching myself up for the it again today. Donuts were brought into work this morning and I am resisting hard. Yesterday was crazy for calories. My watch said I burned 850 active between the walk and wrestling with a darn Xmas tree and decorations for two hours. My 4yo was so happy though and is ecstatic to be back on lights duty. He asked where all the presents were lol (I am so behind on wrapping). Ended out the day with a double cheese burger from McDonald’s bc my car battery died and I had a massive headache by the end of the night. So yesterday was a whirlwind. Getting closer to my December goal!

    I guess I'm playing in 208-land this week. I'm hoping with some additional sleep tonight, I might see 207 again tomorrow, but we'll see. I'm also planning to have two cookies (TWO - all to myself) from the bakery tomorrow. This is my treat for working out hard all week, and not caving in to pizza or fast food. It has been salad central here.

    @debbiebyf Welcome to the thread! Yes, December is a tough month, and frankly, it feels like from Halloween through New Year's, it's just tough, period. Candy all over the place, very food-centric months. So congrats on deciding to ramp up during December, and feel free to just do this in whatever way works best for you. We're all here doing the same thing and to help support each other. :)

    @Emkaygirl1 one time I ended up having to shovel out our house during a 3 day blizard while my other half was on business travel. I was burning 2,000-4,000 calories every time I went out to shovel for 2 hour shifts. I ate everything! And I was loving it. It's possibly the best workout ever. Exhausting, but invigorating. I hope you are staying warm and well.

    @HappyDonkey75 I hope you continue to see some improvements with the new injections. Pain-free would be awesome.

    @capewrathultra You can get back on the plan, you know it. Hang in there!

    @kebass01 I hope it's an easier day today!!!

    @canadamarie It's temporary - it will be down tomorrow. <3

    Hello everyone I didn't specifically say something too - I hope your day is going great. Happy Friday!!

    137. Think I might need to check scale battery.
    I didn’t eat any cake at a work do because I wasn’t hungry. That’s a change in eating behaviour for me

    Hosted my holiday party for friends on Thursday and did baking last night with grandkids. Indulged in a hot chocolate chip cookie and didn’t need the extra wine and calories combined with the night before.
    When I’m tired, I have less willpower or mental motivation. But back on track today and will prep chicken to have ready for meals.

    December goal -168

    12/ 1- 172.8- 2.5 walk with hills- knee was not happy
    12/2- 173.9 - Took a day off from working out, too much to do after work
    12/3- 173.9- 30 mins treadmill- Quads/glutes/abs weight training
    12/4- 174.5
    12/5-172.6- arms and chest weights
    12/6 173.7- cardio
    12/7-174.8-shoulder/back weights
    12/8-174.9- 20 min treadmill weighted vest, 20 minute stationary bike, abs
    12/9 174.7


    Not much consistency happening around here other than as soon as I dip below 174 , it won't stick..I'd be lying if I didn't say I am more than frustrated but I have a feeling that I have been in such a calorie deficit for so long it might be causing me some metabolic slow down which can occur. The alternative is just that I am building muscle but hard to say. I may need to go in and get one of those body scans to see if I can sort it out and figure out the right path forward.

    Going to try carb cycling for a few days, starting with last night, had pasta dish with meat. More fruit smoothies and some yams/squash/sweet potatoes for the next few days.

    Yesterday I was on my feet pretty much nonstop getting the tree up , and then some grocery shopping, then back to pulling down more decoration totes. My back and knees were not happy by the end of the day. I need to finish a few more things today.

    Getting there! Saturday I went over my calorie intake by way too much. Hubby brought home a giant burger and then we were going to a friends for a play date/movie night with our 4-5 year olds where they made chicken and dumplings and margaritas so I had to be polite and eat everything hahaha. So i was extra mindful yesterday and stuck with rice and taco meat for dinner. Today is a lazy day so I will have to make sure to walk some laps around the house and do chores to get my active calorie goal in. Miserable outside too…cold and rainy. Happy Sunday!

    Feeling a little frustrated as I’m at my absolute highest ‘warning’ number on the scale. Haven’t been here in a long time but also haven’t really been in a calorie deficit this month.…..today we are supposed to go out for seafood for my wedding anniversary. It’s been one celebration after another since mid November which I’m feeling. I will enjoy but need to get back to planned meals with fresh vegetables every day this week.

    Happy Sunday everyone!

    Anyway, today we have salads. Yes, we had salads yesterday, but also cookies, because sometimes you need cookies. And I will do both the walking and the aerobics today, not just the walking.

    Happy weekend, everyone.

    I've been eating less overall but definitely enjoying some of the cookies I've been baking LOL. Did a spin class and went bowling yesterday. My son is borrowing my car the next couple weeks while theirs gets fixed so I can't get to me weekly strength training. I have to put some reminders on my work calendar to make sure I get in a couple workouts at home.

    Have a great week all!

    This might be cycle related. I'd expect this if I'd overeaten and didn't work out, but I worked out both days this weekend and didn't overdo it. Today I'll be strict and see how it goes tomorrow. But I was shocked enough at the number I went to get a handweight and make sure the scale was accurate. Unfortunately, it is.

    12/8-174.8- 20 min treadmill weighted vest, 20 minute stationary bike, abs
    12/9 173.6

    Friday and Saturday I got well over 11K steps , yesterday it was over 12K. Just doing house stuff and some shopping. I feel like the step count does make a big difference for me when get over 10K consistently, even when I don't workout.

    I would love to see the elusive 172 by the end of the week as a micro goal.

    I think in order to do that I need to set some mid day alarms to walk away from my desk and go step on my treadmill for 10 minutes at a time to rack up those steps this week and see if things continue to trend down.

    Have a great week everyone
