@Dory_42 - glad to hear your negative but still scary. I’m glad you’re taking care. Wednesday, December 2 Tracking: Yes Calories: under but had to eat back most of my exercise calories.

Happy December 1st! Congratulations to all those who made the Winner’s Circle and to all the Champions!

Hello all. My daily appreciations: 1. My family and friends are all healthy and staying safe. 2. I started a meditation practice in August. I am trying to make it a daily. I practiced a daily meditation more than 1/2 the days in November. I love it. My plan is to increase it so that it is an ingrained part of my daily…

I am grateful for: 1. My family zoomed last night and it was so much fun. 2. I did a wonderful 20 minute energy focus meditation first thing this morning. 3. My husband put in a fire pit so we can sit outside and be warm this winter. I will definitely enjoy this as I very rarely leave the house now except to hike in the…

I actually have some sea salt dark choc bark thins. I will eat some pumpkin seeds with them. A bite of each at a time. I’ve only tried the almon one and the sea salt ones. Pretzel sounds good

November 26 Gratitude List 1. Even though my family won’t be together on this Thanksgiving, I spoke with all of them and am grateful everyone is healthy. 2. I slept late this morning. 3. I made pumpkin purée from sugar pumpkins this morning and I am drying the seeds and am going to roast them - love pumpkin seeds.

I love this group. Everyone is so supportive and there is zero judgment. I joined this challenge at the beginning of January of 2020. I’ve lost about 25 pounds since starting. I am eating so much better and I am getting in daily activity. I feel so much better. I decided to try maintenance in May to reset where my body was…

@MadisonMolly2017 - CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is wonderful news! It is an inspiration to see how well you take care of yourself. In fact, you have been inspiring me for many, many months to take care of myself and not take anything for granted. Thank you for such an amazing gift.

My daily appreciations as diaries last night: 1. My son-in-law is starting to truly recover from a medical procedure that had him sidelined for 2 weeks. 2.

I just noticed the same thing. I do TDEE with a small percentage deficit but on heavier activity days I was noticing my watch showing a 500 plus deficit. I started to eat back some of the deficit. Before I started to do this, I too was ravenous the next day and completely drained.

@BMcC9 - great idea. I started journaling 2 weeks ago. I do my daily appreciations at night after dinner so I will post yesterday’s. 1. I have poor upper body strength and have been doing upper body lifting more consistently. I noticed I could lift heavier weights and even caught a glimpse of definition in the mirror. Not…

Friday, November 20 I took an active rest day. Then we got takeout and I tried to track but no idea. So even though probably within the margins, definitely a pass day. The take out was a last minute thing so I didn’t make a conscious decision about what to eat. It really wasn’t even a consideration. I will work on being…

I had tried to meditate in the past and it “never worked” for me. Because of me illness, I was chosen to be in a research study this summer. Part of it required a meditation for at least 20 minutes a day and some minis throughout the day. Before this, I had not known that it takes about 2 weeks of practice in order to…
