Did not weigh in yesterday or today but will tomorrow. Somewhat stressful week with a death in the extended family and daughter in law's car getting totaled instead of being fixable. On the upside someone brought us some cookies and there we not good. No worries about overindulging in those LOL. Happy Friday all!

No meetings on my work calendar today so I just added a lunch hour session. Weird thing yesterday, the chex mix I had for lunch (holiday indulgence) gave me…

Had a great spin class yesterday then bowling last night. My activity level had drastically fallen off so this was a good return. Strength training at lunch today. Food remains good overall and I'm allowing myself a cookie from the batches I'm baking.

Did a spin class and went bowling yesterday. My son is borrowing my car the next couple weeks while theirs gets fixed so I can't get to me weekly…

CW 169 Dec GW 165 UGW 150 Strength training at lunch yesterday but last night's yoga class got cancelled. Work schedule is very light the rest of the month so will try to fit in a Leslie Sansone indoor walk today. Forgot to log my food yesterday so will go back and enter it now so I can see what tweaks are needed today :)

I managed pretty well the past week and am back to 169. A potentially serious health issue has cropped up unfortunately, so I'm a bit in limbo for the time being. Will take measurements today to see what if anything has changed in the past 3 months.

November will be all about... The Basics: Staying under carbs Staying under calories Logging and measuring Getting in exercise/movement Keeping an eye on electrolyte levels (noticed a big difference in how I felt yesterday after fixing this) Getting enough water Planning ahead Weight goal aiming for -4lb. I was close at…

I was prepared with veggies and hummus but still indulged in the stupid potato chips. Mondays are my double workout day and I'm off the rest of the week so I should be able to get…

Nov starting weight 172 Current weight 169 Was sore for two days but now good to go. Might walk laps in the pool at our gym.

Got 90% of the laundry done, did dishes and made vegan ricotta for my daughter in law's stuffed shells. If hubby feels up to hitting the gym after work, I may try some walking…

Ran into a couple things last week causing me to discontinue by trainer's challenge. However I did get to strength and yoga classes yesterday. Will see if I can come up with my own daily challenge starting tomorrow (pretty sore today LOL). Weight is steadily coming down in small amounts which I prefer.

@Emkaygirl1 I'm waiting for my Fitbit to bite the dust as well. Not sure what I'll replace it with. @HappyDonkey75 My gym has a pool, I was thinking about just walking laps. Had my strength training yesterday and yoga class last night. Sore today as expected but feeling great.

Nov SW - 172 Nov 6th - 171 Nov 9th - 170.5 Nov 13th-172 Nov 15th-171.5 Nov 17th-169.5 First time back below 170 in 5 years. Really glad I found this thread, I didn't realize how much I needed to see what others are struggling with and accomplishing.

Nov SW - 172 Nov 6th - 171 Nov 9th - 170.5 Nov 13th-172 Nov 15th-171.5 @HappyDonkey75 Yes, I just made out my Thanksgiving menu plan and ingredient list :) Two of our guests are vegan and one is gluten free so I have my work cut out for me :)

Nov SW - 172 Nov 6th - 171 Nov 9th - 170.5 Nov 13th-172 I def ate way more than intended yesterday, having a little anxiety about a test tomorrow. Plus I was bored at work. Overslept 30 min this morning as well and I'm a little out of sorts. Should be fixable with some coffee shortly. I am up and dressed and taking that as…

Strength class yesterday then out to dinner with old friends last night. Only ordered some chicken pot stickers and no alcohol. Got in two round of the trainer challenge, will do two more today. Supposed to be Day 1 10 incline pushups, 20 squats and a 30 second plank then add 1/1/5 sec each day. Today will be 'day 3 and…

@rileysowner excellent news! I tried jogging a couple years ago but tweaked my left knee and popped an IT band. I keep getting C25K reminders on my phone so maybe I will check out IBX running, sounds interesting. Going to start my trainer's challenge right now and put it on my white board. I'll have to do five days of…

Nov SW - 172 Nov 6th - 171 Nov 9th - 170.5 Cleaned out a walking closet yesterday and put it back together today. Not a workout but it was movement and am tossing 3 bags of garbage. Bowling tonight then strength class tomorrow.

Still 170.5 and still have not done my challenge yet. But I did clean out two closets this week!

Nov SW - 172 Nov 6th - 171 My last meeting of the day turned into me giving a 90 minute demo to a group of 6 via video chat. It was fine but not what I was expecting. Stress level was up but I did not turn to food after. A step in the right direction. Today may be the last really nice day out until spring so I'll either…

Nov SW - 172 Nov 5th - 170.5 Had my weekly strength training class on lunch yesterday but yoga was cancelled last night. Can't say I wasn't glad, was not in the right head space. Today is better. Did a load a laundry before starting work and coffee is ready. Long day with a couple meetings on deck.

My trainer asked us all to join her in a daily challenge this month and I haven't done it yet!!!! I am currently being a slacker and need to break out of it. Getting on the scale right now to motivate me-ok, better than I expected at 170.5. Writing the challenge on my white board and putting a couple alarms on y phone to…

Have been with MFP for what feels like 20 years and looking for a more active group to join. Highest weight 205 (2015 post chemo) Lowest weight 162 (2002) Current weight 172 My ideal goal is 150 but honestly I'd be happy with 160.

I had a great month September and got complacent, made bad choices in October. So for me... November will be all about...

@rileysowner Now you need a professional meat slicer :> Your leftovers would make a nice bone broth. Winterizing our camper this weekend and I'm making a list of all my other small projects that I need to get going on. Top of the list is reorganizing the furniture in my home office and guest room. So many little steps…

Hubby and I had a very active camping weekend with lots a walking and an unintentional climb up & down a mountain. Let's just say the trail map was very deceiving. Rain kind of spoiled the end but we packed up quickly during a brief dry stretch. I totally agree with not wanting to go out in the dark and cold. Rest is your…

@baconslave Oh my, you really have been hit hard all around. You're due for an upswing in all things. Sending you a big ole heaping of good vibes for healing you and your community. I just got done with a stressful work project that put my life on hold for 3 weeks. Ready to begin with a fresh start today and was expecting…
