Okay - I did my December weigh in today and I was up over goal for the first time. Three pounds over in fact. I have next week to weigh in one more time before we leave for vacation and hopefully get back within range. I've definitely just been getting by for the last 3 months, without exercising or journaling and getting lucky. Well, I'm back to tracking today! Luckily my exercise routine is at least starting again after being on a 3 month hiatus. I went back to spin class for the first time since early October last Sunday and plan to go again this Sunday. I also started doing some strength training and will hope to get in some additional cardio this week. I think because I know longer have my mornings free it's been easier to make an excuse to skip workouts in lieu of meeting someone for lunch or running errands since my DS is only in school 12:40-3:10.
We leave on Friday for a 2 week adventure - we are driving to Florida with lots of stops along the way and on the way back. Should be fun.
This has been a very quiet challenge - we're only on Page 2! Hope everyone is hanging in there during this busy time.
-Beth

Hi all! Yes we sure are quiet but it's a busy time of year... I didn't go to WI for the last 2 weeks due to to holiday stuff ... I'm going this Wed. though to get that number...and think about how much it's going to go down after January 1! And get the new WW guidelines and info too, I've heard things have changed, just a little. Beth - have a great time on vacation!! Everyone - happy holidays!

OK...I went to my meeting last night, I had missed 2 weeks! I missed everyone. I am (only) up .8 since weighing in on 11/28! I thought that was pretty good, I feel/look like bleah. I surely expected to weigh more. So...I got my number now, I will go to my meeting the day after Christmas and continue on my journey.... back to goal.This has been the quietest challenge ever but I hope Beth will start another one for the New Year in which will all participate lots and lots! ;D Have a wonderful Christmas to all who celebrate!! I will check in in between Christmas and New Year's!

Greetings all - how are the holiday preparations going?
We are on our way driving down to Florida. Our first stop was in Louisville and now we're in Atlanta. Tomorrow we will hit Orlando and spend the day at Kennedy Space Center before heading down to Ft. Lauderdale. We are having a great time.
I weighed in write before we left and had only lost .4 from the week beofre so I was a little bummed because I had a great week and worked out a lot but I think it being TOM had something to do with that. On the hotel scale this mroning I was down a pound from that which is good, although who knows if that scale is accurate.
Anyway, we are having a great time and I hope everyone else is too.
-Beth

Hi everyone,
I'm one of the ones who has been MIA; I am sorry! I have not stepped on the scale but I'm sure it is up, up, up. However I'm not really that upset about it, just gathering up some determination to get back to goal. Since it's been winter break, I've stepped up the exercise a little -- did some weights yesterday (yowza, I'm sore) and actually went for a 3-mile run this morning. The only exercise I've had for the past couple of months has been walking the dog, so I was happy to see that I could still run! Other than that, I'm enjoying special holiday foods and not really worrying too much. I do want to get back into my skinny pants, but even more than that I want to stop obsessing over food and just enjoy life. So until the holidays are over, that will be my focus, then back to Core on January 2.

Wishing everyone a healthy and happy New Year!Today is the first day of my "getting back to a routine" ! Eating better, exercising more. Going to WI tonight, getting "the number" and moving onward (and downward)! Hope a new challenge is pending and can't wait to hear from you all more often in 2008! ;D
