Surprisingly, I was way under my calorie limit today. That will not be true tomorrow.
Tracking: good
Exercise: I did an hour of farm chores and at least 60 minutes of active stretching. My back is slowly relaxing and it is far more flexible. I am still feel rather fragile in that if I move too far and/or too fast...my left lumbar area shoots me a message.4 -
One hour treadmill run, apparently it made up for the cookies we baked for Santa because I'm not over for the day! I am a yes x3 for today.
I am most definitely using my 2nd pass day of the month tomorrow.
A very merry Christmas to all.3 -

I’ve always known that handling meals away from home would be my biggest challenge.
Combine that with a personal goal of making maintenance easy - over a year - so its not a continual at-risk stressor.
So at the right time, a coach in another app mentioned that some others have had success having half the food they order boxed up prior to beginning to eat.
Of course we’ve all heard this, but my attitude was always “no way, unwilling & unable to do that”
Not this time! I’ve practiced and solidified so many habits. I’m ready to do this one.
Not this time! I’m ready to be successful with non-home meals.
Not this time! I’m tired of being queasy after eating to much at non-home meals.
I took step 1 today. I had two meals with family in restaurants & I did not get it boxed, but I did shoot for 1/2 of the servings. I ate 1/2* at BF.
When I logged calories & all macros were perfect.
I ate 5/8* at L.
When I logged calories & all macros were perfect.
* I modified my approach. I can eat up to 100% of Steamed veg, lean protein sources, incl dairy. I am very good at eating the right Amy of protein for my body.
* Everything else is 1/2.
I will never finish a restaurant meal again (until the next day.) This is thrilling & gives me back so much more control!
This change should make it easier since my CI is greater than CO by only 25.5 calories per day over the past 51 weeks.3 -

Merry Christmas everyone! I managed yesterday and last night without taking my 3rd pass day. I cooked a prime rib but kept the sides light and no wine or alcohol. I ate very light earlier in the day and was surprised my calories came in just over 1200!
I'm taking my 3rd pass day today as we're snacking most of the day and having turkey tonight.

I'm doing well in the food choices and quantity but not on exercise, but my job is active and I'm very busy at this time of the year so I'm not stressing about that. Had a half day today so watched star wars with dad and brother, who is in town for a week or so. Then dinner with the family.2
