    I saw this scene yesterday and it looked like “fall foliage on fire” in coastal Maine.

    I like to see beauty in the simple things. This is Canadian Thistle as it’s seeds take wing.

    Yes x3 today. How do other people find the weekend - harder or easier to meet the three goals than weekdays?

    It's easier usually because I got so much training to do I can eat almost anything and it will fit. But I get lazy about tracking, that's the problem.

    Yes x 3.

    It varies. A quiet weekend that I'm in control of I find easier than a week day but when socialising and eating out or at friends at the weekend I find harder.

    Being retired, it's all like a weekend!! I'm pretty disciplined so I just keep plugging along. As I've said before on here, I think being a bachelor, no family, makes it easier for me to stay on track with my food choices.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a 60 minute Barre class.
    Did I stay within my calorie budget today? Yes

    Another long day at the office. Again, to office before dawn, back to hotel after dusk. Hooray for weekends.

    Exercised?: Yes (20km morning / 10km evening - yes 30km)
    Calories?: Yes (under by a ridiculous margin with all the walking)
    Tracked?: Yes

    Visited the Las Ventas (tour), Parque del Ritrio, passed the Real Jardin Botanico, via San Miguel (back for dinner round 10:00pm), Plaza Mayor and Puerta del Sol.

    Plan to visit the Royal palace tomorrow, Real Jardin Botanico, Mueso del Prado and maybe a bull fight at Las Ventas in the evening (as it is a part of Spanish culture). Try make the most of Madrid while I am here.

    Will have to post some photos tomorrow.

    Yes..    Cardio
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?    Yes
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?  Yes

    Pre planned pass day today. Went to a party and i knew it would be difficult to track all the ingredients.  I stuck to healthy choices so no harm!
    Weekends are only sometimes a little difficult because I do more eating out or at parties and it's just more time consuming to track.

    A good day! 20 minutes rowing machine, 20 minutes strength, 45 minutes barn chores. Food and tracking ok in spite of delicious vegetable samosas from the last farmer's market of the season.

    This was our last true vacation day as tomorrow will be spent in getting back home to the Chicago metro area. We live on a farm at the western edge of the metropolitan area.
    Today, we traveled north along the coast of Maine to see the sea and the fall foliage.
    Exercise: 35 minutes of active stretches; push up intervals for a total of 142 push-ups; morning walking at 3.5 mph for 45 minutes
    Tracking: good
    Regarding weekends vs weekdays: it’s easier for me on weekdays because their are less celebratory eating situations

    Today was the Head of the Ohio rowing regatta. I raced as 7 seat in an eight. 5K race plus 5+K setup and return to boathouse. Carry boat to launch and back was longer than usual due to event. Also island was off limits to parking, so I drove to my office and rode my bicycle 5K to the boathouse, and back afterwards. And after the ride in, I continued to warm up for the race with several sets of *kitten*-to-grass bodyweight squats. So in total about 2-3 hours, 10K rowing and 10K biking. Rain held off until the last K of the bicycle ride. All in all, a fun day!
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, easily.
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. 30 mins on mini-trampoline after everyone went home
    Did I stay within my calorie budget? Yes - see success strategy below
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes. Even snitches.

    I started pre-logging by working backwards - every thing in the Thanksgiving Turkey Feast at supper tonight - then worked around the rest. I'm gonna be where I want to be calorie wise today.

    And the plan WORKED! I ended up JUST under my pre-exercise MFP recommended calories and barely over on the recommended fat macro. Everything else in the green. THEN I did 30 mins of mini-trampoline (too late at night to be interested in eating them back)
