I was expecting to see a completely different number on the scale, but funny enough I feel I've accomplished quite a lot in November. This has probably been one of my most consistent months as far as the exercise goes.

So long November! Thank goodness each month is a clean slate. Feels good to be starting fresh.

Just a quick cheer for all of us for hanging in there.

Hip Hip Hurray!

It looks like November rocked us for the most part, instead of the other way around. I know I'll be starting next month with a sore knee, but I'm so over November! Better luck to all of us in December!

No, I didn't hurt myself, Miss Mofia. I slide off more than I fall off. When I feel myself get off balance I usually jump off or slide off if I'm fighting my balance. I need to time myself because I am jogging longer and longer on the Bosu before I lose my balance.

Thanks to you, too, Karen. I really hope next month will be better, but I have confidence that January will be. It's been tough between baking at night and being so tired in the morning to get it all in. Thanks for everyone's support. Guess I needed it more than I realized!

Vantreesta, I agree with miss mofia. For me it's not about the points, but accountability and consistency. It really helps knowing I have to check in each day. I have days when I'm really busy or other days when I just don't feel like working out and the challenge is like a little kick in the butt for me.

Thanks, Miss M. You don't know how much I needed to hear that! I really hope next month will be better.

Hey, Vantreesta,

Just wanted to say that it was more about the points the first couple of months I did this challenge. Now it's more of a self check system and learning from the experiences of others that are also doing the challenge. It really doesn't bother me to lose a point either, but that's no longer my motivation. It's just a little perk that comes with journaling and being a part of a group with similar goals.

Thanks, Gaby. Right now I'm just thinking, okay, it's almost the end of the month, hold on to every point you have left! And yes, I do expect to do better next month. I'm going to think out my goals while we're at the in-laws so I have a better chance of meeting them. I kind of just quickly picked this time. But "after all, tomorrow is anotha day!"

Hope you're feeling better!

Hi girls!

I am catching up with your posts, thanks for the support!

Jane, I hope you find a new and better job soon :)

Orion, hope everything is going good for you.

Carol, sorry to hear you had that bad day.

Miss M, I read about your in laws. Hang in there, it's tough! I was in the sema boat a while ago, not nice at all.

Vannie, don't be so hard on your self! now your motivation can be to do it better next day or next month, you can do it!

Jerz and Mary, you sound super busy, take care and have a happy thanksgiving!

Waves to all of you special women and keep up the good work!

Thanks for the words of encouragement. The fact is that my life tends to run very smoothly and routine, so days like that certainly take me aback. We took care of the driver's license problem with the doc's office, whose manager apologized and said she would change their way of handling those, and the State sent him another letter yesterday saying it would be taken off his record, that they had the necessary form in their possession.

Jane, I just read the posts. I'm sorry you had such a tough time, but happy that things seem to be going better. I had a horrible boss for years and then one day he got fired!! What a change in the office after that.

Gabytopo, hope you are on the mend soon.

Thanks Karen!

They told that me they won't fire him. I told them that I wanted him to work remotely which he does do sometimes. We are a consulting company and the majority of our staff works remotely. It can be done but they said that would never happen. I also asked for another supervisor and they said no to that too. The only people that report to him are Directors and me (Office Administrator) so why can't I report to a Director? I work for a stupid company. Financially they are unstable and have been since before I started. The good thing is that they can't fire me because I have so much documentation on the man (and now on the HR dept) that I could go to the labor board in a second and they would probably shut the whole place down.

Thanks, Karen,

This week is just different in many ways. I had a major craving for a cheeseburger last night, considering that I exercised and ate well all day. I'm also noticing that this usually happens during this time of my cycle. I'm keeping sort of a journal to see how I'm reacting to the BC I'm on. Thank you for your encouragement, I do need it on days like this one ))
