Day 5, Week 1 Holiday Cruise to Lose!

(leaving this portion the same as we all need the reminders as T-Day gets closer, LOL) Welp, Turkey Day is upon us! Go ahead and indulge a little. Make sure you drink A LOT of water and try to make the bigger portions on your plates the healthy stuff like turkey without the skin and salad. Then take a little of each of the temptations that you just cannot live without! Make sure one meal is a splurge but not the rest! (well for those of you you have to attend more than one, you will just have to make up for it in other ways! ;))


Commence interesting times, LOL. I will be driving for 6 hours today. So I cut back a little on my breakfast calories because there wil be at least one meal on the road. I need to be inhaling water because of the salt I will probably be eating :) I am looking forward to this trip. It will be challenging a little with diet and exercise, but Mom always has healthy choices and Dave is paacking up the Wii to take with us, so should not be horrific :) The hardest thing will be hitting my month end goals while I am at Mom's for my business. I don't suppose I have any volunteers here? ROFL! Actually I would not because I like the personal touch and the computer is just not a good subsititute for face to face relationships :) But it will be a fun break from my day j.o.b. and seeing mybrothers kids is rejuvenating!

Calories yesterday were good. On the low end of "normal" as I intended. Water Intake was good. Got in 45 minutes on the Wii fit that only leaves 155 for the rest of the week! Wish me luck LOL

Old Man Scale: Back to my low point despite TOM hanging out on the couch. So I think I will hit my goal of 240 by Sunday btu will be hard to tell. I am fairly certain Mom's scale is a bit kinder than the Old Man so I guess I will have to use my weigh-in Monday morning to see. That makes T-Day a little scary, LOL!

High goal: 235 by the 1st of December. 5.5 from now. Definitely a s..t...r...e...t...c...h, esp with Turkey day in the mix, but we shall see ;) This looks doubtful now, BUT I WILL hit 240 by Monday despite turkey Day! ;)

Have a safe drive, and a wonderful visit! Do you think it's some cruel twist of fate that the first "official" weigh in for our Cruise challenge is the Friday after Thanksgiving? I'm betting many will use their pre-Thanksgiving weight! :)

Six hours? Long time in the car. Be careful and enjoy your Thanksgiving trip!
