Goals/Day/Comments: I have the same goal which is to work out every day for at least 10-20 minutes and keep track of what I ate. I need to find healthy snacks or side dishes for lunch/dinner. I need to incorporate more veggies in my diet and fruits as well. But I am really lacking in the vegetable department.

I posted a link to allrecipes.com on the What's On Your Mind Today page .... maybe that (and ideas from others) will help with ideas for "sneaking veggies in when I'm not paying attention" strategies. I am not a big "reach for a salad" type either. For a time, I DID become a "veggies in the fruit smoothie" person where the taste of the fruit disguised the taste of the mild veggies (chopped cucumber and celery, maybe spinach) .... and now that I am back to maintenance, and it is High Summer, I might start having more of those again.3 -

@nicadee I have been tracking my weekly average calories for many months now. I’m wondering if I should set a weekly average now (23 months maintenance)
Good to know it works for you!

I live in a small city in Southern Ontario, Canada. Our only daughter just moved out this past school year to attend a university 9 hours away. This leaves my husband, me and an aging cat in our house. I loved Covid as my daughter came home to live with us for about 2 months (an unexpected bonus). She went back though, as her program is a research program and her university lab is open. I now work from home and am loving it.8 -
