425 push-ups, 1 hr interval training and 1 hr yoga; Portion control; Day 28
I guess the excitement of turkey day got me so pumped up for class yesterday that I’m sore like a b……. 
I’m so glad it’s all over now. It was exhausting and fun. After eating all that food I wanted to sleep but could’t. There were way to many guests around for that. It’s been a while since we played board games and card games. Just like old times we broke out Yahtzee and UNO. The new UNO cards are different. What the heck is a +4? - that’s not from my childhood.
Lazy day for us. We’re just going to sleep in and relax. I have to start getting my push-ups in and tally till I get to the magic number. Then it’s off the to gym for some free weights and yoga.
I am very proud of myself. I ate light all day. I didn’t have time to go to Rod’s moms house. I was too busy cooking here. So he brought a big plate for me. I haven’t touched it yet because I was so busy last night. I at one plate of everything but in small portions. Then I had 3 pieces of pie - which is my reward for everything.
Compared to past T-day, this is the least I ate. Eating at 6pm made a big difference. Usually we eat mid-day then eat and eat again all evening. I think I’ll stick with this next year as well. I ate food all day but light and lots of water. So when it was time for the big feast, I didn’t feel too hungry and gorged.
Honestly, I don’t think I would of controlled my eating if I didn’t have a place to hold accountable for my actions. Knowing that I have to face Buddyslim made it easier to stay focus. hehe
I’ve always exercised on T-day, that’s not new. What’s new is the eating. Wow, didn’t think I would have that much will power and self control.
10:45am update - already got in 1/2 my push-ups. Going to push the limit and do 400. Wish me luck! Oh, no girlie push-ups for me - has to be the regular ones or won’t do them at all.
4:45pm Final tally! 425 push-ups! Made the 300+++++ 125 more! That’s what I’m talking about! So I changed my title to reflect my progress! This is the most I’ve done since I started adding push-ups to my routine. Now it’s off to the gym.
I have not played UNO since 1st grade. Have fun at the gym today. You are amazing!
Great effort yesterday! I ate two plates. 1 more then I wanted but oh well. I am going for a walk soon.
I think it ate my comment AGAIN!

Your so right about the buddyslim accountability (I cant spell plus I am pooped)When I hear about your acheivements at the gym. It motivates me to think I will get there too.
Thank You,

No rest girl? Just kidding! I can only do 20 push-ups. Great job.
I think my computer just ate my comment. Where did it go?

Good job on your eating woman! Congrats for not grazing, gorging, or any of those other evil “g” words! BTW where was my call? LOL
Great work Nancy! I know I cooked, tons of fresh food, healthy food, but only had one small plate, and dessert…believe it or not was a cup of coffe, with 2 tsp of sugar!…Just didn’t fel like eating at all yesterday…but exercise, no way man..I barely had time to breathe, but we both know , exercise isn’t my favorite….lol
11:30am - 160 push-ups in. Whoo hoo - I’m going for 400 today. Gonna change the title too. Can do them!
You are PURE inspiration girl
So glad you had an awesome day! I love the games…thats why we try to get in a family game night every month, cause its a good time for all.
Got my connection back (for now anyway) so hopefully I’ll be here more again.
Thanks so much Nancy for your encouragement and support…always checking in on me, youre a sweetheart!
Love ya!
Awesome chica!!! It’s funny because you said that compared to other Turkey days you didn’t eat as much—I found the same to be true for me this year too!! Awesome, it shows were are making big LIFETIME improvements!! Last night I was craving chocolate after all my guests left, so I broke open a box of Thin Mints chocolate cookies and it hit the spot. I had four little cookies and stopped, put the box away—-out of site, out of mind! In the past, I would’ve had the entire box in one sitting!! I think, like you, the fact that we’re working out helps us stay on point with the food intake, subcosnciously perhaps, we don’t want to UNDO what we’ve accomplished through our workouts!
I am so proud of you Nancy!! You continue to inspire me and from looking at the amount of comments you receive, I know there are MANY who gather much strength and inspiration from you!! Hey, I just thought about the title of my next blog!!!
Love you chica!
2pm 300 push-ups in!
2:15pm 300 push-ups down! Ok, maybe I can even do more then 400……..????
LOL at doing more than 400!!

Very proud of the work you do girl…you know, you really are inspiring…like cookie says…we just love ya!!
