The brownies were a little too good. Mom and I finished them tonight, which put me over a bit. Was under most of the week so I'm not super worried about it. Have a Dr apt tomorrow about the knee, fingers crossed. Will find out then what my weight is too.

Sorry you arwnt feeling well. The brownies were pretty good.

How did it for with the kiddos today? Did you survive?

And yes, we have got this!!

Grab a ball and take those kids for a little 3 on 3 tomorrow. What day do you end the week on? I end mine on Sundays so you have one more day to finish strong by my count! Remember this is not a 100 yard dash it's a marathon so it isn't how you start its how you finish.

I have found that safeway selects fudgecicles work well for those ice cream cravings. They are just 100 calories so they usually fit. My wife has 1,000 more calories per day to work with, so I feel your pain in going over because of hamburgers. Tonight I came in so short I can have a brownie, so she is in the kitchen…

Tiny bit over tonight but not enough to worry about. The wife and dog are out at mom's for the weekend to visit. Which is good cause I was missing them. Glad to see your messages are posting again Jess!

Now your messages for today have come through. Lol technology

Jess, get your butt back in here and start posting again!

Jess, don't make me go all sticker creepy and start messaging and harassing you until you post. Your last post was 2 days ago and I promised you a butt kicking. I will give you until tonight to post and tell us how skiing went and what you have been doing and then I will start stalking. :wink:

Another day under my calories! 2,800 steps on a broken toe and a sprained knee too. I am sadly ready for a nap.

Going to have to give up this challenge for now I think. 90% sure I have broken my toe to go with my knee. I think January is over for me.

Why is it so hard to get enough water when you are not at home?

Don't know where the rest of my post went. Lol calories are good again today and while her bathtub hates me my,mothers scale is my new bff, it says I am down 7lb in the last week. Lol. Going to wait to log that until I double check it on my own scale to be sure. But for now it's fun.

Jess, how is it you go skiing and I injure my foot?

Somehow I have managed to come in under my calories the last two days even with all the chaos.

Just 800 steps today. Sigh life has conspired to keep me in a chair today. My whole leg is swollen now. Never mind mom needing help.

Much better on the water today.

Mom is doing well today. Will be staying at her place for the next couple of weeks. Diet is all screwed up again today. But that is just life right? Trying to remember that it isn't about what I did one day but the sun of all 7 days in a week.

Spent all day at ER with mom so very short on water today.

I hear you on having a craving day. My mom called me this morning. She was laying in her driveway in the pouring rain. Got her to the emergency room. All before my first cup of coffee. Sigh she is fine, dislocated elbow and a sprained wrist. But I made due with dried fruit and a snickers bar with pizza when I finally got…

Well, so much for my plans for a walk. My mom took a bad fall so I racked up 2,500 steps pacing at the emergency room instead. She needs someone with her for a few days so will have to get creative about getting in my walking for a bit.

Not as good today, spent the whole day doing homework at a local coffee shop. So guess who is over cafinated and under watered? Yup, you guessed it...me.

Thanks, tonight it is almost twice it's normal size. Hoping for normal tomorrow. Guess I am too old to break dance. Lol

I took a day to rest my knee and now it is swollen even worse. Lol. That will teach me to either a) think I can wrestle with the floor and win. Or b) spend a whole day doing homework. But I am still under calories so it is all good.

I fell and smashed my knee at Christmas and for some reason it wants to swell and not bend right today. So I am going to take a day of rest and get back to it tomorrow, see if that helps.

There is a difference between being nice and recognizing that to err for a bday is human. To err for 2 days will get your *kitten* kicked.

I am finding it easier to use a quart jar and a straw instead of a glass. lol Just have to be sure I empty it twice and I am at 64 oz. Which I have already done today! So much easier than trying to track it by the cup.

:) It is easy to lose track of one little conversation. Don't be too hard on yourself. Today is a whole new day.

I am sorry to hear about your loved one, that is such a hard way to spend the holidays. Take care of yourself and prayers for your family.
