November challenge !!!!!!!!!!!! : >

Happy Monday!

1-drank over 64 oz of water today...all those free water bottles are finally getting some use!
2-track all my calories honestly.-yep. I changed up my numbers and lowered my calories trying to get things moving again. Let's hope it works.
3-didn't spin today but I did 60 minutes on the elliptical.
4-cook a meal-sorta. I zapped a chicken breast in the microwave and made a taco. When I am eating for the rest of the week, I am going to try and eat at the table rather than in the family room.

Keep up the good work!

Good morning!

I'm still here.. just not committing. Todays gonna be a better day.

Elimay Congrats on finishing the 30 day Shred and sticking with it.

Keep er going everyone!

I unfortunately have fallen off the wagon. Since its only a few days until Thanksgiving, I probably won't get back to being good until afterwards, rather than keep making up excuses. Realistically, we'll be eating leftovers for a day or two, so by the weekend I hope to start being better. Sunday will start off a new week, and I suspect that's when I'll be back. I definitely want to do the December challenge, too. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

The rules........

1 . My first couple goals will include staying at 1500 calories or so, drinking 128 oz of water & exercising 2 times a day..

2. 1 Good Habit will be to eat dinner early enough to take a walk afterwards.

3. I will try to check in everyday !!!! good or bad .

4. I have mastered taking a day off of exercise!

Here's my update since Friday:
1. I went over in calories each day as I am on a mini vacation.
2. No dogwalks but I did do LOTs of walking without her!
3. I'm checking in today to say that I enjoyed the last couple of days which were filled with an amusement park with famly & a trip to the beach with my kids. I tried to find a balance between eating big & exercising.
4. I was very wrong when I thought today would be my rest day! I don't even know if I will take one in the near future! I will be running a race on Thanksgiving morning & may even take my dog out after dinner! (With the hopes of coming back to eat leftovers!)

I AM making November a great month !!!!!!!!!!!
How did you do Elimay??

WE'RE DOING THIS CHALLENGERS!! Elimay, you are doing awesome as well!!

Wow...here we are the day for Turkey day. This month has just flown by!

1-drank 74 oz of water yesterday. I have been better at drinking water while I am working out-tend to forget about it.
2-yesterday was a 45 minute spin class. Since we are off till next week, the instructor kept us out of the saddle more so my legs are tired!
3-watch my calories. Yep I was 1 calorie under for the day. I'm hungry since I cut my calories down to 1200 per day (plus the exercise calories).
4-cook a meal. Nope, last night I just had an egg and muffin. Was feeling lazy and tired.

Hope everyone has a great deal and keep up the hard work....everyone is doing awesome!

Thinking about the december challenge, because doing it together is better.
But not sure yet. December is such a crappy month, pff.

But okay. Today bad eating pattern. Forgot to have breakfast and lunch were sandwiches with brie and tuna salad from the catering.
Only had 5 cups of water, so wont make that goal.
Second day that i didn't take a real lunch break and tomorrow probably the same. Pffff.
But okay at least stayed in the green!

Have a nice day tomorrow!

You remind me that I am thankful for BRIE. Also, we all have to survive December so it makes sense to check in & do this together!! Good OR bad!! have a great rest of your day Raven!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends. I have to admit I don't really fully understand what Thanksgiving is, other than it involves a turkey and lots of other food!!!

Still not feeling great so I'm glad I haven't exercised for the last couple of days as I would be feeling worse. I have managed to get a little walking done to and from school/work. Eaten pretty well today, although the pasty was not a good choice (almost 500 cals and not very nice tasting).

Hope you are all having a good day

Okay so today was not a good food choice day for me. Let's just say it was a very FREE day!! However I did go for a walk for the first time since my ankle surgery and it felt WONDERFUL!!!. Plan on doing that again real soon. Beautiful weather here in Nebraska, 66 degrees. Only thing that was missing today was my son, who lives in New York City and was not able to come home, but he did Skype me and we talked for about 45 minutes. Thankful for all my MFP friends and all the support and love from all of you. Going to kick my butt into high gear and hope to be 10 pounds down by Christmas. Hopefully all of you had an awesome day also.

Energy levels still flagging, think I may need some vitamin supplements. Was planning to get back to exercising tomorrow but maybe a few more days off is needed. :yawn:

Hope everyone was able to enjoy Thanksgiving. Congrats on the walk Deebear. Well, I'm craving salad and fruit so I think my carefree and overindulgent eating of the past few days is over. Tomorrow I intend to track my liquid intake and eat better. Goodnight!

Hey Gang!

I think I am finally coming out of my food coma from Thanksgiving.....I pretty much broke all the rules over the last 2 days so I am trying to get back on track for the rest of the weekend. Only plus was I did get in at least an hour of cardio every day.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and survived Black Friday!
