Good day everyone - hope it's going well

kfunk6113 - yes I try to keep my normal day cals under 1200 (which I have more than not. The weekend was bad for cheese - yikes).

I have been working out for min 30 max 45 min almost every night. It feels good to be back into that mode. I used to work out for an hour every night but I have been out of that routine for years. I'm feeling better about my body.

I wore my bikini to the beach yesterday and I didn't feel as self conscience as I did the last time. Mind you I am down 6 lbs since I last wore it .... I've lost some of the belly fat I had from my work outs - yeah!

today:

SW: 160
GW: 155
CW: 154 (steady for the last week)

Keep up the good work everyone

wanttochange ~ That's awesome you feel better in your bikini. Don't think I'll ever wear one but I will look forward to being more confident when I go to the beach, especially since we go all the time in the summer.

ophelia ~ Great weighin yesterday. So close to Onederland!

momtopands ~ Great job!

Joe ~ You should be proud. Good for you.

slimmer me ~ You're doing great.

Kfunk ~ Hope you make it into that new decade by months end.

ophelia Nice drop, you are very close to onederland!! Great job winning your diet bet!! What were your winnings for the last one that you won? I have meant to ask you this for weeks and keep forgetting.. what ever happened with your gallbladder, did you have surgery or did the symptoms resolve on their own? I hope your hour long elliptical went well!! I did not work out last night, so much to do at home after work, but I did set myself up tonight so that there are NO excuses.. I will do it!!

ange82much Hi, its nice to see you over here! I love these challenges, hopefully you will feel the same!

wantochange That is awesome that you have been working out regularly again! What do you usually do? I can't wait to get down to where you are! That is so cool that you were able to rock your bikini without feeling self conscious! Total NSV!!

toomanydimples Nice whoosh!! That's great that IF is working so well for you!! I am excited to push back by window to see if I notice a difference!

kelijpa and joe Waving Hi!!

ange82much: It is definitely fascinating to watch the cycles of the body and learn what effects it in what ways, and I agree that it is encouraging to know that - if you just stay consistent - it will eventually catch back up with you on the scales. We'd be glad to have you join us any time!

TooManyDimples: Nice whoosh...I am glad that IF seems to be working out for you!

kfunk: I got about $45 dollars back from my last one, so $15 on top of what I'd bet. It's not a huge money grab, but it is a great incentive for me to not lose my initial money and then whatever I get back on top is just icing on the metaphorical cake...lol. I'll let you know what I get back from each of this month's DietBets if I can maintain the loss for this one and win the other one, as well. The first one ends next week, but the second one doesn't end until February 7th, I think. I'll keep you posted. And, I ended up having to get my gallbladder removed back in July! That all happened during my little hiatus from 3FC and contributed to me making excuses to take a longer break...then ended up not coming back until the end of September! Whoops. That was a big mistake, but I'm glad to have the gallbladder out (no issues since!) and to be back, obviously. And, I did get in the workout last night, thankfully. I will make sure to do my workout again tonight, since you're already set up and ready to do yours today, as well.

momtopands: Yes, TOM will definitely mess with you! I'm sure it will be gone in no time once that is all over.

Slimmer Me: I have no doubts that February will be a strong month for you after this one!

flower1: Thank you, I can't wait...I really hope to hit it soon! And, keep your chin up and keep at it, and all your efforts will pay off. You're still making progress, and that is a good thing.

----------------------------------------------------

No change today, but I will gladly take that over a bump back up after a mini-whoosh. I did my hour on the elliptical last night, but - again - only finished one big bottle of water (2.2 L), so going to try my best to get in that second one today.

flower Thank you!!!

ophelia $15 bucks on top of what you put in is pretty darn good!! I might go check out the site to see if there is something I have a shot at winning!! I lose slower these days, but it might be the motivation I need to cut out the cheat days I have been having on the weekends! So glad that you had the surgery and it went well with no issues!! Great job getting your workout in. Me on the other hand, not so great. UGH, I am the worst!!! I procrastinated and dealt with organizing the paper mess that was invading my countertops. That took a long time then I deep cleaned the kitchen... oye. I am promising myself that I will workout on Saturday and Sunday no matter what. I wont be home tonight until after 10 and I know I wont do it that late.
