11/20-11/24 :)

day 8 of 13 :)

I'm going to cut and paste this entry from my blog:

Everything went right for a change. I didn’t have to worry about Thanksgiving dinner and I was able to eat perfectly healthy food that I love and was way under my calorie limit. I feel full and satisfied and really happy that I did not have a setback. :)

The best news that I have is that I saw a night time weigh in number that leads me to believe that I could be into a new low weight in the morning! Nothing is definite until the morning, but if I lose my typical 4 to 5 pounds overnight than I’ll be there.

This morning I ran a 4 mile race and felt strong. I could have ran much further and I made excellent time. I’m really starting to love running and feeling accomplished at this.

I have to remember this feeling. I have to remember how good it feels to be doing the right thing.

Congratulations on a great day Matt!

I too had a perfect on plan day that I'm feeling really good about :)

10/11 - 11/25 :)

11-25 :)

Hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!

so day 9 out of 13 (just 4 more days to go this month). I shall give it a smiley face :)

This morning was a slightly lower weight for the first time in a while. I might see another new weight in the morning. I hope to finish the rest of this month OP!

Great job Matt! That is wonderful!

My weigh-ins are always in the morning too. I don't even bother stepping on the scale throughout the day.

New decade this morning!!! 21 pounds gone!!!

Now that's something to smile about :D

10/11-11/27 :)

Wow, Charms! That is awesome :) :carrot:

Today was another good day for me! My weight this morning was another new low. I'll update my signature in the morning if the loss is still there. I jogged a bit today and generally had a good all around.

10 of 13...Just 3 more days to go!

I can't believe it will be December in three days!

Yesterday was so busy I forgot to stop in and say I stayed on plan all day.

Today is going great too. Exercise is done and I have a pot of home made turkey soup on the stove that smells heavenly!

10/11 - 11/27 :)

yesterday was borderline on the calories for me. I had a huge lunch that was probably 1500 calories or so (Indian food). I think I ended up with 2300 calories for the day (right around my maintenance RMR level). I did end up walking for like 5 miles or so, so I think I should have burned off some of it to still be under my calorie mark. Today, I will not eat so much.

Ok, I'm jumping in again. I am ramping up the work these next 4 weeks, so this fits perfect.

Welcome back Eliana!

Good day for me yesterday. PMS hit in a big way. I think I'll avoid the scale for a week LOL

Just one more day to go!

Today was much better than Sunday. I was probably around 1800 calories and I jogged 4 miles.

:)

I was worried about yesterday because I didn't feel well and wanted to nibble. But I had made a huge pot of turkey soup the night before and had some of that as a snack which got me through the day.

Still on plan :)

I thought I might put it in print here exactly what my "plan" is. LOL! My plan is mostly exercise related, with a little emphasis on food. My food emphasis is on the time of it. I want to eat a snack PRE workout instead of my usual working out on an empty stomach. I'm also going back to six mini meals instead of tiny snacks and bigger meals. I'm front loading calories and cutting myself off after dinner.

For exercise: Up at 4:40 AM, BLECH!
M/W/F: 45 minutes cardio (elliptical/stair climber), 45 minute spin class
T/TH: 45 minutes cardio (running), 45 minutes lifting
All evenings: Walk at an incline an hour or so while watching TV.
Saturdays: body lifting class and spin class, 1 hr 45 minutes total

OK, I'm back. Staying OP is my only option to know how I'm doing for now as my scale completely quit. :?:

I was not OP for three days last week over Thanksgiving and a family birthday.

Yeeha! Halfway point!

I'm still shocked that tomorrow begins December!

I am still going strong. Would like to up my exercise a bit next month. We'll see how my GI system and lungs take it.

10/11 - 11/30 :)

I'm on day 41 of being On Plan. Just checking in. I'm going for the second 30 right now.

Last day of the month was good for me! I've fluctuated up a little bit in weight due to some sodium water retention from a big meal on Sunday (but I was still under my calories). Today was great food wise, but I didn't really exercise. Tomorrow I should do some running again and hope to do 3 or 4 miles.

:)

BTW, since some people started another 30 days on this thread, lets just keep this one going so that people don't get confused. You can start your 30 days at any point! My new 30 days will start on December 1st. I won't be able to check in for a couple of days this weekend as I'll be out of town.

Have a good trip Matt!

I'm beginning to see an amusing pattern with my plan. I lose a pound the day AFTER weigh in :rofl:

As long as the weight keeps coming off I don't care which day it falls on :)

1Dec :D

Day 1! December 1st :)

Twas a good day. Was under my calories and ended up running a couple of miles. The scale is still up (and has been for several days now) but its just a matter of time before my body catches back up.

My goal in these 30 days is to hit 180. It would be a great Christmas present to myself!

I was well under my calories and I did walk about 4 miles. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I didn't run tonight, but it is SO COLD and I just don't have the proper cold weather running gear. I need to go to the running store and get some proper cold weather running clothes.

Miss you all :hug:
