  • OUR QUESTIONS
    My goal: Drop 20 pounds by early spring, and track what I eat.  
    My progress so far (inc. how you did this past week!): I have not been tracking...at all. And I know I'm going over on calories. So bad! I have been eating a ton of fruit, though, and getting a good amount of activity in. My weight is at least holding steady (but that's not the goal). 
    Between now and next Friday, to move closer to that goal, I can: Get back to tracking every day, plain and simple. 

    QOTW
    If you celebrate Thanksgiving, how'd it go? Any high or low points? 
    It was nice, overall. My MIL hosted brunch, then my brother (recently divorced) and his new girlfriend (whom I like!) hosted dinner and it went really well. Low point = Not seeing my younger niece and nephew from DH's side thanks to a silly family feud between DH's mom and DH's brother. Lame, and hope they get over it by Christmas.

  • Goal: reach IVF required goal weight

    Progress: Ive lost 21lbs, 5 more to go. Only lost 1lb this week but considering I celebrated Thanksgiving 4 times- haha, Im ok with the 1lb loss.

    I will continue to eat healthy and try to make food fuel and not comfort and continue to work out.

    Thanksgiving itself was odd- haha. My family celebrated Wednesday, DH's family celebrated Friday, so Thanksgiving was low key and random shopping. It was fun.

     

    Take care ladies!
