A bit of a disaster for me today. I managed all my goals but.....decided to do a quick HIIT workout before dinner to compensate for sitting a lot while working today. There was a terrible noise and awful pain and my knee gave way. And gave way four times more in the evening. I’m so upset as I’m such an active person. I’ve slept on it but it is still very painful and I’m reduced to shuffling around the house.
So - I’m off to our local Minor Injuries unit this morning. I will hopefully get some crutches and advice. It kind of means I’m out of the challenge this month unless I can think of some arm exercises but actually keeping to my calories while not exercising is way way way more challenging for me than being able to add lots of exercise calories so I may adapt the challenge to fit my new circumstances.11 -

Hi @fictionreader91,
Treat this as a learning opportunity...analyze what happened the 2 Pass Days & the 2 non-Pass Days. What triggered the calorie overage?
My usual suspects when I do that...
1) not pre-logging my final meal of the day (so I don’t accidentally go over.)
2) too many carbs or fats or salt or low exercise or water or sleep will make me want to eat more.
3) not spreading protein evenly over my meals
4) eating too much a one meal (I’m not good at compensating with another meal.)
5) having a trigger food in the house.7
