Just a quick check in tonight since I still have papers to grade. Had a nice day, did some shopping and took a very cold bike ride this morning. My friend and I lasted all of 3 miles before we turned around to head back to the warm cars. It was colder outside than we thought for a ride. We have decided that if the sun is…

NK- Thanks for the advice on weigh in days, it is a good perspective to keep in mind. Robin I am good for keeping the challenge going. I would also encourage everyone to up their exercise level or intensity in December. That way we can burn off some extra calories.

LA-Welcome. Sorry your life is in chaos right now but it will get better. I can tell you from experience I spent between 6 months to a year hovering between 200-210 and it would change daily. So I understand your frustration. My best advice is to keep up with your eating plan, maybe reduce your calories or increase your…

Skinny and Barbara-I loved reading the Scarlet Letter in high school and have read it a few times since then. Christi- I don't have many suggestions for 1200 calories a day, except protein. Are you eating back your exercise calories? Have a great weekend.

The ticker changes are not working. It appears that you still need to go to the ticker page and copy the BBC code and past it into the reply.

Checking out to see if the ticker will show up on the forum page.

Well it was a lack luster day in what I accomplished. No exercise today due to a birthday party for my niece, hard to believe she is 1 year old. I did manage to get the papers graded today. Tomorrow I will hit the gym and maybe rake leaves in the morning.

The weather will also be a factor so I hope it is NOT freezing temps. When in June is the relay? L2T- I also wear Brooks-ghost Oasics GT and New…

cblue- An olympic triathlon is great. I will work up to that at some point. I was talking to my trainer tonight about the swim meet and we discussing what it would be like to swim for 1 hour or longer without stopping. I have a ways to go before I am comfortable swimming a mile without stopping and resting. That is why I…

I really enjoyed climbing tonight, it felt great to be back on the wall. My arms may be screaming at me tomorrow but it was a good workout. It was a busy day and the kids were crazy- full moon I guess. Hope they calm down soon. I will catch up with everyone tomorrow.

tlh- I am surprised that your kids had school on election day since they use the schools to vote. The reasoning behind it is the safety of the children since they can't keep predators out of the buildings to vote or those who might do harm to others. Goals- I have managed to eat under calories however, I have been eating…

bapcarrier- welcome. The new recipes look like great idea. Have you considered using one day on the weekend to cook your meals and just put them in the freezer to use throughout the week. This makes avoiding the fast food places easier to avoid. Some fast food places also sell salads, which tend to be healthier (grilled…
