~This Week's Topic: What Your Food Choices Say About You
Unfortunately this week my choices are saying that I'm eating too much junk. I had my cookie exchange last week & basically haven't stopped. No tracking at all this week. I'm giving myself until Christmas & then the tracker is coming back out. Remainder of the cookies have been
given away or put in the freezer.
~This Week’s Routine: Know how you’re going to be active tomorrow.
I plan on doing a Holiday ride on my Peloton. I've been doing well with that this week.
~GHG of the Week: Fruits/vegetables - 5 servings a day
This isn't an issue. I love fruit so that ends up being a snack. I get veggies in there as well but fruit is my go-to.
~What are you having for snack? I was hoping for raspberries but they didn't look good this week. I settled for grapes. I also have
hard boiled eggs if needed. My snacks are foods easy to grab.
I've seen recipes for Chocolate Hummus but never tried it. Has anyone ever eaten it?
Hope everyone has a nice holiday.

- How do you track? And how often?
I track on my phone and do a hit or miss job - which is my entire weight loss problem in a nutshell. When I track everything every day, even if it isn't perfect, I lose weight.
I would like to start tracking paper also. Not as thorough but just a list to glance at.
- Take a look at your tracker for this week. Name one thing that worked well for you and one that didn’t.
Drinking water worked well this week. I tend to drink calories with every meal but making at least one water was a huge help. That and a small snack before dinner.
This Week’s Routine: Know how you’re going to be active tomorrow.
I'll try to stand or walk more. It's going to be a lot of sitting. I can help pick up wrapping paper.
GHG of the Week: Fruits/vegetables - 5 servings a day
I'm trying to get more in, easier at lunch and dinner.
What are you having for snack?
Small portions of Christmas sweets. Chex muddy buddies and zebra popcorn.
I haven't tried chocolate hummus but I think I will. I feel like right now is a bad time with all the snacks but maybe January.
Happy Holidays everyone!

- How do you track? And how often?
I track on paper Points Plus and occasionally on the Weight Watchers app to get my wins. I do my best to track every day, but I have struggled this week with all the Christmas goodies. Usually I pre-track the night before which helps me know what I am going to eat for the next day without standing in front of the refrigerator wondering what to eat.
- Take a look at your tracker for this week. Name one thing that worked well for you and one that didn’t.
What worked well for me this week is that I got back to tracking on Thursday. What did not work well for me is that I did not stick to my plan for Christmas day and just ate whatever I wanted and then ate some more. I really should etch that over-full feeling in to my memory.
This Week’s Routine: Know how you’re going to be active tomorrow. I sit for my job and I have struggled since I started working from home 3 years ago to move more. I am going grocery shopping this evening and whenever possible I will not stroll down the aisles and try not to take anyone out. Lol.
GHG of the Week: Fruits/vegetables - 5 servings a day - I do this every day.
Meal of the Week: Snack
What are you having for snack? Either string cheese or natural almonds

This Week's Topic: What Your Food Choices Say About You The last three weeks my daughter was visiting from the USA. She had special foods she wanted, we drank wine every night (almost) and I am surprised I did not gain more than a few pounds, actually. My journal is out on the table and breakfast has been filled in. Back on track as of today and doing the Veganuary challenge beginning January 1...will combine the two for a month to see what will happen 
- How do you track? And how often? When mentally in the game I track before or just after meals. I have an agenda/diary to record in and also post to MFP (my fitness pal).
The plan is to get back on track with points, ghg's and all the rest AND begin exercising again. Yesterday was a day to recuperate from the 3am drive to the airport and today may be a bit more of the same but tomorrow will see me exercising if even only for a few minutes.
- Take a look at your tracker for this week. Name one thing that worked well for you and one that didn’t. Well: Trying to get in fruit/veg every meal even if the meal was not 100% healthy Not so well: not tracking much at all this last week with daughter here. I *know* I do better tracking and when done honestly the weight comes off and I feel better
This Week’s Routine: Know how you’re going to be active tomorrow. I will be in the basement with the exercise equipment and will get up every hour to walk or lift or use a device for five minutes at a time.
GHG of the Week: Fruits/vegetables - 5 servings a day I challenged myself to have fruit and/or veg at every meal for 100 days and it set up a habit...this morning I thought about the homemade guava jam I put on my peanut butter toast and wondered if it could count as fruit...I will get five in today even if one meal does not have any at all 
Meal of the Week: Snack
What are you having for snack? Not sure...have some popcorn I could make and there are always fruits and vegetables around. Might prepare something to snack on. I also have nuts I could count out...
Recipe of the Week: Chocolate Brownie Batter Hummus (1 PP) simple-nourished-living.com/chocolate-brownie-batter-hummus/ This looks good! I will have to give it a try at some point and perhaps have it with apple slices since they are in season at the moment.
Next Week’s Topic: Setting Goals That Will Get You There Can't wait!
