Motivation was basically I'm getting older and I wanted to have visible abs for once in my life.

It really depends. If I'm going somewhere during the weekend, I will most likely consume more calories compared to the week. And during these cold months I found myself in the kitchen baking or making something every weekend. But come summer time, I'll probably be outside away from the kitchen burning calories and…

My breakfast tends to vary from 150-250 calories. Probably for the next month or so it will be at 250 as I work through several boxes of instant breakfast that I found in the back of the cupboard.

Trusty sidekick.

I ended up maintaining until about Boxing Day, since then I've probably been above maintenance every day since. Yes, I have gained some weight, probably way more than I wanted to thanks to my sweet tooth, but I don't really regret it since it's nice to just be able to relax and enjoy one's self, even if only for several…

I'm sure I'm probably up a couple of pounds if I decide to step on the scale today. Unlike in years prior where I put on 5-10lbs, at least this year I'm exercising and balancing things out with some days in a deficit and others where I just indulge. Still have New Year's to get through before I step on the scale to see…

Before: Oh, I'll just have a little bit of that and walk away. During: WHY CAN'T I STOP!??!?! After: Time to add in some extra cardio to burn off a portion of what I ate. Probably going to be another maintenance week.

I think my stomach can be considered a cookie factory this week.
-
The answer for me is, it depends. For the most part, I will try to not eat them back at all since I just want to reach my weight loss goal. But right now with all the extra food during the holidays, I am eating them back so that I can enjoy this time of the year without going crazy. Although today I'm probably not going to…

I got on the scale this morning and I've been hovering around maintenance for the last 2 weeks. Still plenty of dinners and gatherings to go before I can declare the holidays over. For now, I'm satisfied with myself, but after tonight's big dinner, tomorrow is going to be a day of extra exercise and sticking to my deficit…

For the last couple of weeks I've been doing about 5-6 miles of HIIT per day on the treadmill. I run at an incline of 10% with 3.5mph as my walking stride and 7mph for my sprints.

I like to put vinegar and BBQ spices on mine.

SW: 121lbs CW: 119.6lbs Numbers went up at least a pound since the previous weigh in but that's not surprising considering all the extra food finding its way into my mouth now. My next weigh in is probably only going to be 3 weeks from now as the holidays are filled with too many social gatherings filled with food and…

Yes I am surprised by some of my recent pictures and I never thought I could look the way I currently do. Although some choice angles and lighting make some of them look way better than if I stare directly at myself in the mirror.

I made myself a festive smoothie with eggnog, strawberries and a bit of spiced rum. Gotta say, it was pretty good.
-
I tend to try and find something on here that has a similar description and then double the portion size to be on the safe side.
-
I guess from here on out until about January 9th, I'm just going to try and do my best since trying to avoid additional food is getting impossible. For the most part, I will aim to try and stay at some kind of a deficit thanks to additional exercise, but I'll be happy if I walk away from the holidays having only gained a…

I've slowly began to raise the amount of calories I'm allowing myself to eat during the month of December. Starting this week I've raised it by 250 calories and starting this weekend I'll just go to around maintenance for at least 3 weeks before plunging back down to my original deficit as I try to lose my last few pounds.…

For this challenge: SW: 121lbs CW: 119lbs Though I saw my weight go down all the way to 118.2lbs on Sunday, I'll wait until next week to record it at that if the festive foods this week don't negate it.
-
Between a couple of weekends baking treats that required sampling of the product and having gone to 3 parties already, I've not forced myself to push anything away. I've over indulged several times but have still managed to lose a little bit of weight along the way. My resolve was to simply up my cardio for December and it…

Always milk for me when it comes to protein shakes.

I passed a kidney stone a couple years ago and I'm certain I will probably pass another one again in the near future. Can't say it's a pleasant experience, especially when bed ridden for an entire week, shifting in every position possible to try and get some relief. The only comfort I ever truly found was taking warm…
-
I tend to weigh myself when I get up and then before I go to bed at night. However I will only record my weight on Sundays.
-
It's probably going to be the same old boring Christmas turkey, potatoes, tourtiere and salad. I keep trying to talk people into spicing things up with a pot luck Christmas, but no one seems keen on it. Although I think I will make some deviled eggs and bring them along.
-
I was craving an apple/cinnamon pastry today.
-
I've already indulged at a couple of Christmas parties and have no regrets. When someone goes to the trouble of making some gelato and warm apple crisp for their party, I can in no way say no to such great food. Nor can I say no to second and thirds. Maybe to fourths I can say no, but those three other times, I had to…

My goal for the month of December is at the worst, to simply put on a couple of pounds. At the best, I'll maintain or lose a pound or two. For the most part in December, I am still sticking as close to my chosen deficit as much as possible while upping the amount of cardio I do on a weekly basis. Already I've been to a…

I've managed to lose a mid-size microwave.

Signing up for this challenge too. SW: 121lbs GW: 115lbs My goal is to try and get lean enough to rid myself of the remaining fat on my stomach. Hopefully Christmas won't be too terrible on me.
