Goal for the day: Miles whenever I can fit them in.

Hosting a dinner tonight: Thanksgiving dinner is what I am making.

2 miles in so far. I figure I can get a couple of miles in here and there.

Ate very badly yesterday--Christmas goodies at the office, drive-thru lunch, mexican joint last night.

Made it through my run today but it wasn't pleasant. It never is after a bad food day. I have done pretty well today. Tomorrow is a Christmas party tho. It's just killer this time of year- too many temptations!

Tell me about it
Made a Thanksgiving dinner today/tonight(you already know). Ugh. I can just feel the bloat. I will get on the elliptical in about an hour and do at least a mile. Just to give my waistline a fighting chance.

OOOOHHHHHHH !!! I was demonstrating what a plank was tonight and I held a FULL plank, not modified, a whopping 20 seconds!! WOOOOOOOOTTTTTTT!!!!!! The core is getting stronger!

Adding: 3 miles and I am done for the night

I think I should get a freaking star here. I have been such a good girl the last few days since my 20 chocolate covered toffee fiasco. I ate CLEAN for 2 days straight even after going to 2 Christmas dinners and a lunch. Well, I had some home made wine but we all know the ingredients to that so I'm calling it clean too Yesterday, I did a 4 mile run/walk and today I did a 6 mile/run walk outside in the rain in addition to walking an average of 12,000 steps a day for work each day. I saw my ticker saying that I've saved almost 700 FREAKING DOLLARS and I'm not even a month in to this quit yet so I decided to spoil myself. I bought a kick-... blender for making smoothies and I also splurged and bought a home gym It took me a whole bottle of red wine to set the damn thing up but I did it and today, I used it for the first time for 45 minutes before dinner which was a big spinach salad with pears, blueberries, apples, chick peas and some jerk boneless chicken breast. Note to self: If you get a home gym, you have no one to watch and make the time go by faster like you do at a gym so in hindsight, I would have just set it up in my living room off to the side but no, I had to put it in a spare room. After dying of boredom, I went out and bought a flat-screen TV and stand to set up in front of it so I have something to do while working out. There goes all my money saved from not smoking this month

TV really helps with the boredom factor! Congratulations!

Today's Goal: 5 miles, planks (regular ones now that I know I can do them!!) lunges.

 

[76bridget]

That is commitment Serendipity! Congrats!

Waiting until this afternoon to run, the fog is pretty thick here right now. Better safe than sorry..

 

[Iowa Gal]

I did have rye toast with almond butter this morning..it was good

 

[Robino1]

Goal for the day: 6 miles etc...

Throwing out the leftover stuffing. That stuff is killer on the diet

ok, maybe one last dish then it goes! For real!

Goal for the day: getting over this hangover. That is all...

Stuffing is the best thing ever, isn't it? I discovered an old bread machine in my cupboard and I love the fact that you know what is in the bread instead of all the preservatives. You sure need to have a 'cardio' workout to get rid of it though.

hahaha I'm so sorry but I do feel for you. I haven't had a hangover in awhile. Maybe just try a walk.

Ohhhh I feel your pain
Water, tylenol (any pain reliever)
Food

I know I never felt good until later in the day. Bet it was worth it






My Goal for the day accomplished. I'm doing a combination of modified planks and regular ones.

A walk outside, dark sunglasses and fresh air. Clear those cobwebs and toxins

 

[Serendipity_Stables]

Woohoo! I just realized I've made it 4 weeks not smoking today. I did sneak one last week but it tasted like crap and I didn't even finish it. Vaping tastes way better.

 

[Chakris]

Hey Good for you Serendipity!!!

I don't count the glitches either.

This week my little man turns 9 and I just broke a month of not smoking and I thought I'd say that this little dude is the reason I live and breathe and ultimately, why I decided to quit smoking.

My little man is very 'animal' aware from growing up around horses and he's been riding as long as he's been walking. This translates into a young man with a love all animals with hearts beating and he knows that 'everything' has a personality if we choose to seek it out.

Sadly, I've lost this little man to an evil beast called a 'PS4' and he now wanders out of his room for food or the 3-4 hours each day that I make him work tending to horses and getting some exercise before and after school. I am so just kidding but it sounded awesome EVEN for a Canadian eh?

Little man jumps into my room each morning and tells me how many days i've NOT smoked for now and he hugs me and tells me I smell way better.

Happy Birthday Buddy...thanks for being my 'not smoking' cheering squad.

Clomped through my 6 miles elliptical at 6 and 5 today, hey, it's Sunday. Felt good. Hubby got me a fitbit for my birthday (because I asked for one that is, lol) It really does help inspire you and keep you moving.
