Yes x 3 It is always board games for our family! We always pick a joint one that we want, and sneak in extras for each other under the Christmas tree anyway :) This year it's Azul and some mini-expansions for Carcassonne. @w8goal4life I can't take a picture of it atm, but my favourite item is a musical Christmas tin that…

Yes x 3, it's been really enjoyable to get in a bit of extra exercise every single day, even when it's dark and cold outside. Hopefully by the end of this month I will form a new habit!

Yes x 3, the exercise part is much less of a problem than I thought but I am just barely squeaking by calorie-wise. Holiday month.. @FitAndLean_5738 haha, I know the feeling all too well! That's what I did when studying as well. A nice, long walk or a swim after hours and hours of frustration, and sometimes a new idea…

Date: December 8th Yes x 3 Had a very busy weekend but managed my exercise and tracking goals, in no small part thanks to this group! I had to adjust my expectations to maintenance as opposed to dropping a couple of pounds before Christmas but my BMI is in the lower range of healthy already and am a-ok with the status quo…

Weekend, FINALLY :smiley: Date: December 7th, Yes x 3! I had great difficulty getting out of bed early yesterday morning but one pass is enough for now, so I did it anyway! I am trying to save the two I have left for the holidays, when not going overboard or even just accurately counting calories in someone else's…

Yesterday was.. blegh :( I went to the gym in the morning but felt way under the weather all day. Ate way too much for lunch and coffee only for dinner so overall calories probably stayed in check but I just didn't have the energy to track. Pass. At least I was finally able to sleep well at night and today I feel better…

w8goal4life's bread making bulletin is very nice indeed! I am looking through it and it is like being transported back in time. We make a lot of traditional rye sourdough breads (and pancakes.. and crackers.. and whatever else you have to make when you don't want to waste the discards of the starter) around my neck of the…

@w8goal4life how nice :) Thanks!

The meal sounds heavenly, @w8goal4life ! I really crave brightly coloured soups like this as well when it starts to get cold and dark out. We have been having a very similar sort of thing for dinner the past few days, carrot, ginger, and sweet potato with some red lentils and a sprinkle of garam masala chucked in. Your…

Date: December 4th Exercise: Yes, a quick morning session and lots and lots of walking throughout the day Calories: Yes. It was very hard to stay within limits as I had no chance to eat breakfast or lunch, and by dinnertime I was ravenous and there was catering.. I made sure to drink lots of water before eating, filled my…

Date: December 3rd Yay, I really feel like having a daily sign-in and reading about everyone else's effort helps a lot! Exercised?: Yes, normally I would bum around for a bit and read the news on non-gym mornings, but the daily challenge meant that I spent the time doing yoga! Then I headed out earlier for an extra walk. I…

Date: December 2nd Exercised?: Was busy all day with preparations and hosting guests, so a vigorous clean of the place had to do :) Calories?: Yes Tracked?: Yes. A bit too heavy on the snack foods today, but not too awful overall. As long as calories are on track, I'll take it as a win!
-
First check-in! Date: December 1st Exercised?: Yes, gym in the morning and a lengthy walk to and around a local-ish Christmas market! The food smells were amazing but I had budgeted for a spiced wine and enjoyed the heck out of it :blush: Calories?: Yes Tracked?: Yes. I've been eyeballing my food for a long time with a…

Hi everyone! I'm new here as well. I have used MFP on an off for calorie tracking before but it had never occurred to me to check out the community! Very excited to have found you guys, this challenge sounds like just what I need! I have gotten a bit too comfortable with my diet lately and want to lose a few stubborn…
