2 epic fail days for me. grrrrrrr I am really struggling to stay on track.

@2020pinktogo I have a mouse in my house. I feel your pain. I caught one and put it outside last week, but either it found its way back in, or, more likely, there are several in the walls, because the other day I found dead one in my bedroom, courtesy of my cat. ugh. Today was pretty good-- I ate within calories, tracked…

congratulations @lovesretirement ! I had a good day, finally. yes X 3

OK, I feel better today after some pretty low lows in the past few days. I stuck to a better eating day today. I'm already out of the running for February, but I plan to continue posting. Tomorrow, I plan to track, exercise and eat within the calories. Thank you, Rick, for your kind, gentle reminders.

OK, I have to take a pass today. I'm already way off track. But, I have shopped for the week, and I have a plan. Our kids are embarrassed by us, until they realize they are turning into us! This happened with my daughter, now 21. As a preteen and teenager, she was always mortified by the things I do and say, and now, she…

Thank goodness for this group. Thank you, @RangerRickL for being a really kind and effective leader. Today it was snowing on my brisk morning walk. So pretty. workout- yes eat within calories-- barely track- yes

Day 2 went well. I felt extremely productive because I made a large pot of white bean chili for my teaching colleague who had a knee replacement, I took a 30 minute brisk walk, showered and made my lunch to take to work--all before 7am! exercise: yes track: yes stay within calories: yes And this evening I have the pleasure…

Hooray! Finally, a successful day! That feels so good. I tracked, I ate within calories and I exercised. Woohoo! Cheers to all of you. Have a lovely day tomorrow.

OK, I'm all set with a plan for today. I feel confident at this early hour. I'm going to try to stay positive. I'll check in this evening. I hope you all have a great day!

Hi All, nice to be back. I have been struggling hard since November, but I am grateful to have a place to go to stay accountable.

hmmm, the day didn't go as planned. I exercised, but ate too much and didn't track. I am back on track for tomorrow. I am going to formulate a good plan before bed.

@RangerRickL, I love your desert pictures. I had a good day, exercised, tracked and went slightly over, but I was hungry after exercising in the freezing cold. all in all, good day.

exercise: yes tracking: yes calories: yes It's not a resolution, but I have recently decided to stay off of Facebook, because it makes me upset and anxious-- bad for my health.

I exercised in the dark, frigid morning, I tracked, I ate within calories. And it was even Treat Thursday in the teacher's lounge. : ) Have a lovely Friday, everyone.

exercise: yes tracked: yes calories: yes Good day, despite the peril our nation faces. Stay warm!

I have been missing in action. But I am back. I turned 50 and wanted to celebrate (for a week, it turned out...) and then got sick, bla bla bla. But, the point is-- I am here. So today, I ate within my calories, I tracked and I did not get any exercise. So, 2 out of 3. But, I am ON for tomorrow. I have a plan. Stay warm!

First day of winter break (for this teacher). I felt great sleeping in (sort of) and then exercising. I had lunch with friends, but still stayed in the zone. Good day. : ) The best gift is health. And we can really only give it to ourselves.

@MiamiSeoul , I hear you. I turn 50 in a few weeks, and my plan WAS to be in the best shape of my life. Well, apparently, it's not gonna happen on that timeline. However, despite feeling royally angry at myself for striking out (this was the 3rd bad day) for the December Challenge today, I am not going to give up. Just…

I stopped going to the gym (my YMCA) because I found that I was more likely to do exercise outside and with DVD's and streaming services. I am a solitary exerciser, so this works for me. Yesterday and today I exercised, stayed in my limit and logged. With "kids" home, and a full fridge, this is a feat for me. But, success!…

I'm so happy to have both "kids" home right now. (18 and 21) I took a long walk in the snow and ate right and tracked. I am a children's book junkie. I have my favorites from childhood (Blueberries for Sal, Goodnight Moon, The Little Fur Family, among many others) and I have shelves of other amazing picture books, too.…

Much better day today. yes x 3 : )

Utter failure on the calorie consumption yesterday. Strike two. Yikes. I am starting out with a plan and good intentions and hoping that today I make better choices.

Exercise: yes calories: yes Track: yes I am experiencing a lot of anxiety. This usually causes me to eat. I've been meditating, which helps to some degree. I am grateful that I have to be accountable here. Stay warm, people. : )

Exercise, yes 50 minutes ab. workout and fast walk calories: yes Tracking: yes Ok, full disclosure, last night after I checked in here, I had a snack, and thus, went over. So I believe that means I have to take a pass day. Strike 1. On the positive side, though, I lost 1.5 points this week. Inching along, but in the right…

Exercise: brisk walk= 40 min Calories: yes, still having a sweet tooth, though... Tracking: yes I am grateful that what I do for work makes a difference in individual children's lives (teaching). I am blessed to have two healthy, smart, caring, independent adult children. I am lucky to have a boyfriend who adores me,…

exercise: yes 40 min interval training and abs calories: yes. Better than yesterday's sugar consumption, but still not perfect. log: yes

Yes, x 3, but only barely. I need to have a little more commitment to healthful eating tomorrow. Have a lovely weekend, everyone. : )

Exercise: yes-- a beautiful hike in the snowy woods and an abdominal workout= 100 min total calories: just barely. But, yes. I factored in the dark chocolate before consuming it. : ) track: yes I don't remember what I wanted for Xmas. My parents were both parents of Jewish immigrants. I loved the tree and the stockings and…

Exercise: yes, pilates and walk= 50 min Calories: Yes Track: yes I love the winter pic @bocasdelbob . I lived in Alaska on an island, too! No wild horses, though. Just bears. (and other less threatening fauna) I love the winter. I wish we had some snow here. Have a beautiful evening, everyone.

Exercise: yes, 30 min brisk walk (in the dark) Calories: yes Tracking: yes. Good day. I am a little miffed at the scale this morning for not budging, but that's what I get when I try to weigh in too often. Have a great night, everyone. : )
