It's Tuesday and I already missed my one workout that I'm allowed to miss each week...determined to hit the rest of them!

Monday I managed a whole 8 min of exercise again...glutes this time...and then went to the award ceremony for the boy child...he got a leadership award...and then I didn't workout when I got home, plus had super interrupted sleep from muscle cramps despite taking my magnesium...ugh...and lucifer's waterfall is still…

I did good with food over the weekend, but the schedule was crazy busy and no workouts were completed.

11/12: 157 11/20: 157.6 11/21: 157.8 11/22: 156.6 11/23: 155.8 11/24: 157.2 11/25: 158.2 11/26: 158.8 11/27: 157.6 11/29: 161 *today* 12/2: 158 12/1 goal: 155 1/1 goal: 152 The water weight is coming off...tomorrow should be the end of the monthly nonsense, so I'm expecting by Thursday or Friday my weight should stabilize…

I think many of us are still active, just not a lot of chatter in this group.

Friday I was good about not eating too much...mostly because all of Thursday's sugar make me super ill...had Friendsgiving for dinner, and that was super fun catching up with everyone! Saturday was too busy to eat much, plus it's Lucifer's Fracking Waterfall...ugh... Sunday...went to a birthday party that didn't offer much…

Exercise, particularly new exercise, triggers a lot of water retention as part of the muscle repair process. Don't worry about the scale. I recommend measurements as an additional metric. Frequently I will see increases on the scale while also seeing reductions in my torso/belly measurements, and it helps to keep me…

Unless you sew your own jeans to fit your body, nothing is going to be 100% perfect in terms of fit. I have had great luck with the Wallflower brand, they run $20-$40 on Amazon. They are not totally consistent on their sizing, but I get the curvy, boot cut, tall with the stretch denim (I think all of them might be stretch…

There's a free 45 day food and exercise plan just for those in your position: military.com/sites/default/files/media/military-fitness/2014/11/stew-smith-45-day-beginner-program.pdf

I did eat and drink way too much yesterday, but I also did workout before the festivities, so I got that going for me!!!

11/12: 157 11/20: 157.6 11/21: 157.8 11/22: 156.6 11/23: 155.8 11/24: 157.2 11/25: 158.2 11/26: 158.8 11/27: 157.6 *today* 11/29: 161 12/1 goal: 155 1/1 goal: 152 Definitely can't get rings on today...between all the holiday foods, even though I was moderate, it's still way more carbs and sweets than I usually eat...plus…

Leangains is carb and calorie cycling...there are some versions that just carb cycle and leave calories stable by reducing fat on high carb days... This is my favorite leangains calculator: https://x-gains.com/MacroCalculator Also, google TKD (Targeted Ketogenic Diet) as that's a common more generic term for basically the…

Wednesday was good-ish...I was good all day and then I had whiskey and rum cake in the evening, so off plan in terms of calories, but whatever, it's the holiday! Thursday I was good about not really eating before the big dinner, and then I really at very small portions of everything and skipped some of the more carby…

February will be 10 years for me...I started logging to make sure I was getting enough protein, and I've missed days here and there, sometimes whole weeks for vacation because the app doesn't ever seem to cooperate on my phone...but, still here, still logging most days...still finding ways to improve my health...I don't…

I'm currently in 3 D&D campaigns...it's getting confusing because they are different editions, but I'll get the hang of it!!!

I am determined to lose 3 lbs this December. I am determined to workout 6 days a week. I am determined to log 6 days a week. I've done the math. I've got the plan (P90X3 + some BBL). I'm determined to be compliant!

I have been good with the workouts this week...tomorrow will be a challenge with the amount of cooking I need to do, but I'm actually going to workout BEFORE I start cooking, and if I'm late getting where I need to be, I would rather do that than miss the workouts.

Oh no, I'm still just below 12...but the pictures are inspiring!

I'm merging 2 of my high calorie days into Thanksgiving...I may or may not track...just depending on how much I eat/drink...we are actually having a late dinner this year, so I will not eat anything before dinner, but will probably have some drinks...all in all I have about 2600 calories set aside, and if I go easy on the…

Last night I got invited to a "Friendsgiving" happening on Friday...I think celebrating with friends is likely to be way more fun than celebrating with family, so I'm super excited!

11/12: 157 11/20: 157.6 11/21: 157.8 11/22: 156.6 11/23: 155.8 11/24: 157.2 11/25: 158.2 11/26: 158.8 *today* 11/27: 157.6 12/1 goal: 155 1/1 goal: 152 Nice to see some of the water weight coming off...it would be really nice to see much more of it gone, but at least today I got my rings on with no issues.

Tuesday was another on target day...food was good...weights were done...walking 10K+...I did have a bout with a couple cookies, but I keyed them and switched up dinner to make it fit...I really have no self control and I do wish my husband wouldn't buy that crap... Oh, and today the rum cake gets delivered...none of that…

I also have 2 of the Nessie ladles and I use them all the time, they are actually quite durable!
