December 11, Friday Exercised: Yes (30 minutes walking) Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes 0 passes used An example of a day where I would have certainly exceeded my daily calories if I were not logging.

Walking and gardening. Starting to get into weight training.

I'm 62, mother of two grown sons and recently divorced (March 3rd) after 30 years of marriage. I gained a good bit of weight going through that process and currently have about 45 pounds to lose to get to goal weight. (I was previously about 10 to 15 pounds from goal weight.) My focus for losing the weight is re-developing…

Thursday, December 10 Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes (30 minutes walking) Goals/Comments: Friday's goal is all about house cleaning. Fun times! :#

Heather and Machka - Thanks for the helpful tips for including more veggies and fruit. This is how I’m trying to eat. I enjoy it, but find that I’m still needing to more purposefully create the daily habits involved. Today is my errand day. I have a wonderful Thursday source for local, fresh milk and eggs. I will also make…

How exciting for her to participate in trips to other countries! I'm familiar with Johnson Ferry. They have many outreach programs that benefit, not just the congregants, but the community in general. Jordan currently plays primarily at Mountain West Church in Stone Mountain. Something that I didn't understand about…

He can play whatever is needed. But his main thing is as a professional Praise Musician guitarist.

December 8, Tuesday Exercised: Yes Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes 0 passes used Moved everything to the garage that is to be donated, stored off-site or trashed. Now I will start cleaning and staging the house. Still have a little painting to do. But it will be nice having everything else done.

@jillsmith8297 Someone's probably already noticed this, but it looks like the Gutbusters team is missing a week 5 on the December Spreadsheet. :o

@Butterfly_Ninja3 - It's crazy that people can be so rude. I guess they lead frustrating lives and it just comes out on the person that happens to be in front of them. I have personally gotten a bit spoiled with shopping online this year! (Thanks for the reminder for why this is the best option!) But when I do go out, I…

M in Oz - Your Christmas Menu inspires me. Heather UK - Enjoyed reading your ‘Year in Review’ post! Today, I look forward to moving the last of my son's recording studio stuff into storage before we list the house for sell. Will also be moving a bit a garage stuff out too. Should be an active day. As a musician, though, I…

@intrinsicat - LOVE the painting!

December 7, Monday Exercised: Yes (walking & weights) Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes 0 passes used Today's a good example of why this challenge is great. It was an in-home office day for me and I only thought to do exercise because I would need to make this post tonight! :)

@donna25trinity Beautiful picture! Would love to just insert myself into it. B)

December 6, Sunday Exercised: Yes Calories: Yes Tracked: Yes 0 passes used What do you do to encourage yourself to get enough sleep? I know that without enough sleep, I will spend the day fighting cravings and will have trouble staying focused on the things that I need to accomplish. I have learned to keep my room dark and…

Sunday, December 6 Track: Yes Calories: Yes Exercise: Yes Goals/Comments: A very pleasant Sunday. My MFP goals are to get 3 yeses each day in the mini challenge and to stick to mostly whole foods. My non-MFP goal: is to get the painting finished in my house, get everything to off-site storage that needs to go to storage,…

Mon, Dec 7 Username: WThyme Weigh in week: December Week 2 Weigh in day: Monday Previous Week's weight: 180.5 Todays Weight: 176 So, today's loss was surprisingly good. At least one of those pounds was expected last week. It showed up the day after my Monday weigh-in. A second one of those pounds showed up unexpectedly…

@beastfield314 What a nice older brother. Your kids must love their uncle bunches! It certainly makes for fun exercise.

Sunday is my day to get up super early. My youngest son is a Praise Musician and has to be on site at church super early to set up. I like to get up and make sure he has coffee and see him on his way. I was excited that, today, I was actually able to go back to sleep for a bit after he left. So my Sunday should go much…

Congrats Gutbusters for our 3rd place win this week! :) Also, within our team: Way to go @Beastfield314 @Shabna80 and @Butterfly_Ninja3 for your top 3 team percentage losses! :D

Best wishes and prayers for your interview on Sunday. :)
