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!

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.

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

10/11-11/27

[matt_H]

Wow, Charms! That is awesome

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!

[Charms]

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

[matt_H]

Just one more day to go!

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

[Charms]

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

[Eliana]

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.
= food plan, = food plan & exercise
