It's finaly starting to warm up a little here.
1. Log calories - yes
2. Eat less than burn. hmmmm pretty close - may be over by a smidge
3. Exercise - yes - 1/2 hour walk with the dog.
4. Enjoy holiday - Christmas shopping.
All is well. Today needs to be a good calorie day, so the scale doesn't start to move up.0 -

Hi, I haven't forgotten you all. Sorry for not checking in, just been so busy with work and Christmas concerts this week. Not doing so well with my December goals but I have still been logging my foods everyday - good and bad days. I may just allow myslef to fall off the wagon for the rest of this month and then get back to it on Jan 1st?
Hope everyone else is doing better than me0 -
Elimay- sounds like your having a nice visit. Sammylc- kind of in the same boat. Treat each day as a new one. For me, there are two more weeks before we have holiday company, so I'm holding out that I might be good till then. Today didn't pan out, and we're joining family for dinner tomorrow night. However, I'm not yet ready to give up for the month. Tempted, but still chugging along.0

Happy Friday everyone!
So I pretty much failed at all of my goals today. I am ready to go to be again-10 hour day. Came home and I wanted pizza so that pushed the calories into the red and I have no energy to work out. Only good thing was I got 90 minutes on the bike before heading to work this morning.
My good habit was to work on taking some time for myself..obviously that has not been happening as work is all I think about lately.
Hopefully I can get things back on track tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
Hi all, I am beginning to feel the way everyone else is feeling. I am trying to stay positive and keep going. It is very hard when there is food everywhere. Still logging and drinking water. Everyone morning I wake up with good intentions but by the end of the day I have thrown in the towel. Too bad my clothes are not feeling any looser. I do not want December to be a wash. I find that I really do not want anyone to be disappointed in me. I know I am doing this for myself but you all are my support system and I do not want to disappoint you. Will keep trying.
Elimay loved the song and glad you are getting to spend some quality time with all of your peeps.
Sammylc do not give up, don't EVER give up. (That's what my son says all the time).
Hope everyone else is doing better than me. Love reading everyone's entries. Keep it up, makes me smile.
See you all tomorrow.0 -
I feel so proud of myself for today! I was offered treat after treat, and I refused all of them. I knew I wouldn't have time to exercise, and I didn't want to be over in my calories. I refused two doughnuts, a cookie, a pop, and some candy. Saying no actually feels really empowering! I think I'm going to have to do it more often. I wish I had been abe to squeeze some exercise in, then this day would have been perfect. It was still a good day either way though.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!0 -
I am so proud of you too Anongit That is empowering :bigsmile:
Hang in there everyone !!!!!!!
Hawk eye "ONLY" 90 mins Wow That is awesome.

I did a little work out at my desk yesterday at work it gave me something to do since I wasn't busy. I have gained 2.8lbs since last saturday :frown: I gotta work harder then what I was my calories seem like they are staying in the range they are suppose to be in. I'm hoping I can do some kind of exercise when I get home if I'm not to tired from work. Just sitting at work can be a little boring and makes me tired.
Well I hope everyone has a nice day0 -
Joining late, but this will help me for the rest of the month!
My Goals:
1 : Cardio 30+ minutes at least 2x/week (gotta start somewhere!) and PT 3x/week
2 : Continue to log everything. Been at it for almost 40 days and haven't missed a day yet!
3 : 60+g protein/day
4 : Stay under 1500 net calories 6/7 days per week
...and here's a good one:
5 : When (not if) I give in to temptation, DON'T bag the whole day, week, or month. Acknowledge (log it), put it behind me, and get right back on track.0 -
Logging in for Fri- day 5
400/ 560 oz water
2/7 days stay with in my calories - no over 390
22/28 serv fruits & vegs
215/200 work out mins
65,127/70,000 steps
5/7 days log in everyday good or bad.
I have some good and bad going on here for Friday. Water good, over cals (but made my 80 grams protein), short .5 on f and v. Did a 30 min dog walk and 1.5 hrs. raking leaves, steps 14,197.

Hello Sammy proud of you you had a great day :happy: Thank you you are great too
I reached a huge goal of mine today I am so excited I jogged our whole lake 3.5/8 I can not believe it. I didnt feel like ive made much progress but my goal for 3 months is to workout 30 mins a day is what helped me reach my goal of jogging the whole lake.
I dont think my girls realize how much I have been working out, last night they set me up with the goal of doing our lake jog/ walk 3 or 4 times a week but not push myself it will take time , I did not start out today thinking I was going to do it but once I started I just kept going. I would have never thought at 52 I would become a jogger........... but I am wow.
You dream it you CAN achieve it !!!!!!!!! My girls will be so surprised :bigsmile: They are seriously doughting my ability to be a jogger ,like trying to protect me or something ,they dont say that ,but thats what im thinking by there comments .
Now I am seriously working toward a marathon.0 -
Hello All would like to join in here are my goals
1) to stop eating after 7:30pm this is a big one for me I am a night time snacker
2) go through the massive amounts of papers i have piling up ( this will probably take sometime LOL)
3) to try to cook more I hate to cook both my sisters love it. i will try a recipe either saturday or sunday.
OK that is my goals for December may change how/ when do I report in? somoen please send me a message Thanks
Good luck to everyone.0 -
Happy Saturday everyone!
Much better day today.....had a lot more energy which really helped! I did the bike trainer, walked and did elliptical for 2.5 hours. Hopefully that will help to get the weight moving. I did adjust my weight loss goals and having more calories to work with made it easier to stay in the green. I didn't really cook but I did buy some groceries and plan to cook something tomorrow.
Hope everyone had a great day!0 -
Hi all. Hope everyone is doing well. Trying to get motivated to get some Christmas shopping done. Just do not like the crowds at all. Last year did all of it on the Internet. Did not meet any of my goals today except got in my exercise. Eating was not good, drinking water was not good. No excuses, just having trouble getting it together.
Going to really get on it tomorrow. Beginning of a new week and I have three weeks until the new year. Would like to be down at least 5 pounds by the end of the year.
See you all tomorrow.0 -

LOL, I'm the same way - I refuse to go anywhere near a mall between Thanksgiving and New Years - all those people make me clautrophobic :laugh:0 -
Just got back in town, and I didn't particularly meet any of my goals today, but my calories are in the green, and I stocked up on fresh fruits and veggies and fish on the way home, so I'm set for a fresh start tomorrow! Hope everyone else is having a great weekend!0

Well I didn't do much today. I way over slept today. Didn't wake up until 12. I did do a lot of work around the house and cleaned my car though. Played a lot of NHL Slapshot on wii. I played for about five hours. even with my inactive self today tomorrow should be more active and waking up at an earlier time. :happy:0
-
Thank you Eliminay59 and Clover5!
Today was my first Christmas party. I don't think I did too bad. I was able to control my portions for the most part. I probably should have drank more water, but oh well. I even got a little exercise in. All in all, today wasn't too bad.
Have a great Sunday, everyone!0 -
I didn't track, didn't exercise and probably went over a bit on my calorie goal, but I actually feeling ok about my day. I went to my husband's work party tonight and I made fantastic food choices. The rest of the day was pretty low key. My only food regret was eating on of my kid's quesadillas after I should have been done with lunch. Overall, I had a good day, but I need to get back to tracking and exercising tomorrow. 0

Good Evening Everyone! I have not been able to post from my phone, but the app did help me get through while my computer was fixed. Its here now and I am proud to tell you that I have stayed on track and Im dying to weigh in I have a feeling that its going to reflect my good choices. I have missed two waters over the past three days but that is not terrible, sometimes I feel like if I drink one more thing Im going to burst. LOL. I have been finding new recipes everynight and LOVING IT, so is my family.
Goals for SUNDAY. (Im a huge football fan - Ravens) However, this is going to be the big challenge of the week. See we go to my in-laws and she is an amazing cook but not always the healthiest foods. I mean its like tailgate foods and snacks. She loves me though and is making her veggie soup that is delish. Anyway, Goals -
Do not eat anything that is not diet approved.
Drink all 8 glasses of water
Clean my house before 12 and exercise before RAVENS game
Get Christmas Cards done :O)
Okay, wish everyone a very happy Sunday! Now its off to sleep before the baby wakes up to eat. Family Fun Day TOMORROW and I cant wait.
Best Wishes to everyone!0 -

elimay Go get em!!! :drinker:0 -
Elimay you are such an inspiration. You are AMAZING!!!. Hawkeye you are also an inspiration. Okay, Okay everyone in the challenge inspires me. I love reading everything about all of you.
Today is a new day. I have three weeks to get something going here. I do not want to run in a marathon however, maybe someday. Was never much of an athlete. I just want to be able to walk, and walk, and walk. I think all of the snow has put a damper on my mood. I know I said no more excuses and here I go again. SHEESH!!!
THANK YOU ALL! What a great bunch of people.
Day has begun. Going to get going and start my day.
Talk to you all later.0 -
Wow Elimay - jogging for 58 minutes, that is awesome well done
Didn't manage to get my workout done again this morning but I'm trying not to stress about it, too many other pressures at the moment. Have had a couple of naughty snacks today but just had the best dinner ever - fish finger sandwiches with tomato ketchup and fries - yum yum. Would this be something that you eat in the US? In the UK fish fingers are usually just eaten by kiddies but every now and then I just have to eat some!
Got to go, Elf is about to start on tv and it is my most favourite Xmas film - definitely not acting my age today but who cares!! :laugh:0
