    Didn’t make it to the gym cause we had a two hour drive to go see the Beach Boys immediatly after work. But I did squeeze in a half hour of yardwork before my wife got home.

    Yay for squeezing in some yard work! Were the Beach Boys good?

    They were! Brian Wilson has lived a tough life so the rest of the band had to carry much of the show, but they did it very well

    Tuesday, December 4th

    logged food: yes
    under calories: yes
    exercise: no. We decided we should go see my husband's grandmother instead. She is 94 and finally has decided enough is enough. She is not eating, so it is just a matter of days. Her quality of life has not been great for a few years now (she is in a nursing home). I just can't believe she didn't decide to do this sooner. She has been a widow since 1974, so she and her husband have a lot of catching up to do!!
    steps: 8,553
    water: 10 cups

    Logged food: Yes
    Under calories: Yes
    Exercised: No

    Can’t seem to shake this headache. It’s been a rough week and a half. Macros are a mess, but trying to keep under calories.

    Do whatever you have to to feel better. Is there perhaps a doctor's visit in your near future? Just concerned about you, Mike.

    I get these migraines once in awhile. I usually go to my chiropractor and it helps tremendously. I’ve been doing it this time but my neck keeps going out. The cause is known, the fix just isn’t working as good as it usually does. I went again yesterday and today it is a light headache so just taking it easy and trying to maintain one step closer to normalcy again. Totally felt like leaving the group since i can’t do my exercise or really eat my plan, but figure if I can still keep it under calories, regardless of exercise or macros, then that will be my win for as long as this lasts.

    No, we definitely do not want you to leave! I am glad that the cause is known and it is not something lurking undetected. I am sorry that the usual course of treatment is not working like it should this time. (hugs)

    Mini challenge
    Dec 3
    Tracking: Not on MFP
    Under: Barely lol
    Exercise: Taught 45 minutes of Zumba, then worked out on the NuStep machine for 50 minutes.
    Dec 4:
    Tracking: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Exercise: Taught 45 minutes of Zumba.

    My goal for Dec 5 is to get back on track with IF, get a day of lifting in, and drink way more water.

    Teaching Zumba...that is awesome! I have ever only done Zumba once. I should try it again, as I did like it. If you didn't log your food into MFP on Monday, how did you track it?

    I've logged off and on for 7 years. I'm pretty good at knowing what I ate. I logged the things that I wasn't sure about, then ate things that I was sure of later on. I'm trying to get back on track for actually logging everyday, though. I trust not logging once in a great while, but not on the regular.

    This April, I will have taught Zumba for 2 years! I started in 2016, when I was 260. I got so hooked, that I was going to 5, sometimes 6 classes a week! My instructors became my friends. They talked me into becoming an instructor, so...here I am!

    Mini challenge
    Dec 5
    Tracking: Yes
    Under: Yes
    Exercise: I lifted weights for 45 minutes. I follow the StrongLifts 5x5 program, so my times vary.

    If you're okay, then we're okay. It is definitely better than gaining!! So, what has got to change in your life for you to not be okay with a maintain?

    I do know what you mean about knowing that you are under by what you have eaten without logging it. We get in the habit of eating the same things, so we know what it amounts to, calorie wise. That is so awesome that you followed your passion with Zumba and became an instructor!! You'll have to tell me a little more about StrongLifts. I am interested in finding a weights program that I could do.
