Thanksgiving Wed & Thurs I had gluten-free brownies, which had excessive calories & carbs, but no dairy or gluten. Other than that, I did well. I was also invited to a "vegetarian thanksgiving" on Friday. I had a stuffing w/rice but no gluten, and otherwise ate primally. Probably extra calories though. My birthday was also on Friday (51!), and I pretty much didn't celebrate. We will be celebrating on Wednesday December 11. We'll have steak w/veggies, and I will have an ale and some sort of fruit. No cake, pie, etc.
I was able to attend the Finnish Independence Day celebration on Sunday and only ate the walnuts I had brought. No karelia pies, christmas stars, pulla, gingerbread snaps.
I still have to make a concerted effort to cut down on the "desserts" even if they are apples & yogurt, just to cut down the calories for now. Maybe a few days a week, not every day. I am still following the plan that was getting the losses in August-September, but maybe I was walking a little more, and maybe I wasn't eating as many carrots/apples/extra yogurt.
My "planksgiving" challenge is slowly progressing, my longest plank was 55 seconds on Friday. As for the "work up to chinups/pullups", I haven't done any more than the first time, I was so sore and used it as an excuse and didn't do it again. I have to keep at it.
