I finally stepped back on the scale for the first time after the end of the last challenge. I did not too well with eating over the last two weeks I thought, but the scale thought otherwise. I lost half a pound since then. Very happy about this as I tried to balance out my not so good choices but just did not get back into the tracking of all my food (which I find is essential for weight loss). So now I have a huge motivation to really get back into tracking, exercising and eating within my calorie range! Hopefully I can make one or two pounds disappear before Christmas!!
Great job with a little loss even when you weren't tracking! That is a good sign the healthy lifestyle thing is becoming second nature.
So, yesterday I ran 20 miles. It was a lonnnnnnng 20 miles. By the end I alternated between weeping, yelling at Mike and telling him this was his stupid idea, and contemplating what would happen if I just laid down in the middle of the park. My glutes were hurting so much during the walk breaks that I ran the last 1.2 miles without breaks--very, very slowly. For some reason walking was killing me at the end. But I finished it and I am feeling ok today. Part of the problem--went out too fast at the beginning, and then paid for it at the end. But I would rather re-learn that lesson now than at the marathon in January.
Today I am on a little junk binge--not good--in an attempt to eat back all 2000 calories that I burned off yesterday. Actually I am not doing that bad, but I do need to reign it in. I am back in the 140s in my maintain range and I would like to keep it like that!
Congratulations on your long run, Rose! That Mickey medal will be yours before you know it! And congratulations on being back in your maintain range.
I finally got a run in! It's only been weeks and weeks. Just 1.5 miles, but it was good. And the dog, who was very, very dopey from his mole removal a couple days ago went with me and seems to be back to normal. We called him a big black Bambi when we got him home from the vet because he just couldn't seem to get his legs to do what he wanted.
Glad that you got your run in, Linda, especially in this soggy, windy weather! Glad that dog is feeling better, too.
And thank you for hosting the exercise challenge!
Quick hi as we drive back from Massachusetts, family party.
Ate way to many carbs! And mindless eating, that's what I get for having the fruit tray in front of me. Must say I was pleased with the kids, DD was the only one who asked for dessert and she just had one small square of chocolate then went back to the fruit.
I'm still full from lunch and we ate at 2 so I'm probably going to just have a cup of tea and head to bed.
Must must must make a menu this week and stick to it. We've been throwing to many meals together last minute or relying on the Little Caesars $5 pizza deal. Curse you Pizza! Pizza!
Had one sip of soda today, DD's cup was over flowing and it was going to spill. Didn't even realize I did it til it was in my mouth. Spit that out in the trash can! Blech! It was soooo nasty! Part of me feels like I cheated but since I spit it out I'm counting it as still 1 year and 1 month since I had soda.
Yay! Almost home! Will touch base later.

Nah, one sip that you spit out doesn't count, Buffy. Glad that you had a nice week-end!
Working today and heading to Boston tomorrow. My Dad is scheduled for surgery to remove his tumor and I will be there to spend the day with my Mom. Heading out at 5am and not sure when I will be home. DH is away, but will return tomorrow afternoon in time to pick up the kids at school. But I am cancelling DS's eye dr. appointment to keep things simple. And DH will have to take DD to swim in the evening, unless I arrange a carpool today.
Sending you and your family oodles of good thoughts, prayers, and pixie dust, Pamela.
Glad that your DS is okay, too. Sounds like maybe it was cross-contamination since everything had been working so well for so long.
You could absolutely do a half marathon! If you are thinking about training for a Disney race may I suggest Princess 2014? mikamah will be celebrating her 50th birthday and a bunch of us BL folks are going. We call it Princesspalooza 2014. Always room for more princesses.
Unofficial QOTD: How much holiday shopping have you done? Are you finished? Is is wrapped?
Bonus unofficial QOTD: Do you like wrapping or are you more a "throw-it-in-a-gift-bag and good-enough" person??
My shopping is done. Not because I am so organized but because we have a moratorium on gifts at our house due to saving money for our cruise this summer. I did get a couple of token gifts for under the tree. I will wrap them later. And my two out of town gifts are cash so I will send those this week. It's nice to have my Christmas chores done early so I can enjoy the season.
We have a few things bought (The ds's and their gf's are all getting banks that I ordered from DW after we got back. Ds1 is Indianna Jones MIckey and ds2 is getting Luke Skywalker Mickey and dh is getting Buzz Lightyear. All the girls are getting the castle with characters since most of us are really not princesses) We got ds's mostly gf cards to movies and restaurants. They are both working and can buy themselves anything they want.
Pam I hope your father's surgery goes well.
Off to stretch my back
I love the bank idea, Dona. Hope your back feels better!
Just plugging away here so I shall leave you with another thought from my friends at sparkpeople.com
