Hi all!
Exercise: Yes. I logged a 64 minute walk, but my Apple Watch only gave me credit for 50 minutes of exercise. Boooo. (Was a little slow in places because of snow and because I was walking with the Hubby who is recovering from a knee injury.)
Calories: Yes
Tracking: Yes
Pass days: All three remain.

Start weight, January 1, 2021: 132.0December 1, 2020 – 135.6
November 6, 2020 – 140.8
October 2, 2020 – 147.8
September, 14, 2020 – 153.0
My calorie rule for January UACDefining, for myself more than anything, what is the definition of my daily calorie goal. For Oct and Nov, I used 1430 and not eating back exercise. December, I raised that to 1480 with no additional calories for exercise. For January, I am going to try a blended rule; either Food calories under 1480, or Net calories (ie Food minus exercise) under 1200. So, if my exercise burns less than 280 on a given day, there is no added calories. BUT, if I exercise more, I have the option additional food OR if I overeat, I have the option of exercising more to not use a pass day. This flexibility was not something I allowed in my previous rounds. Once I exceeded my goal calories, regardless of my exercise burn. Also, I am defining that I am using the MFP estimate for the caloric burn from exercise. I know I could get different numbers elsewhere, but I am going to use only the one source – good or bad.Date: 1/1

Today I did another 45 mins of Dancing to the oldies (but I stayed indoors so as not to scare the neighbors!), and then 60 mins of walking 3.0mph outside (Brrr!) We had our bible study tonight at MY home, so I didn't have time to do any more exercising tonight. Now it's time for BED! Lol.
@donna25trinity I did send @dewit a friend request today, so that I could send her a private message and tell her that she would be MISSED. I believe that she's planning to attend in Feb after all! Yay!!!!!!!
She indicated that several others had told her that she would be missed as well. 💓

Exercise ✔️ 40-minute walk
Calories ✔️
Tracking ✔️
Today was stressful, but instead of stress-eating (my usual response), I decided to go for a walk when I'd finished teaching for the day. I wasn't in the mood to walk at all, and I was moving pretty slowly--but I'm still proud of making that choice. And I'm pretty sure I'll qualify for the winner's circle!
Well done on staying strong whilst stressed. Wat a win!!!1 -

Hands up, I haven't used a Pass Day and hope to be in the Winner's Circle.
Also, I got on the scale today and didn't lose a pound but did lose 4 inches, so I'm happy about that today. Looking forward to February to start weight training. It's been a good month and glad I found this group.
How exciting1 -
@RangerRickL congrats to you and Rose on 48 years of commitment to each other!3

So today was a win because my knees were hurting and I was ready to quit the treadmill after about five minutes but since I already used my three pass days I stuck with it until 23 mins. I expect to be in the winners circle since I don't anticipate taking anymore pass days.3 -

It took me 12 days, but little by little, I got here.
Scale popped up further despite my good work - likely water retention from increase in walking. Focusing on patience.
Will keep with this plan & re-assess the 1st of Feb.

Juuust about! But I made it within the alotted calories. I was hungry all afternoon 🤷♀️ and ate (carbs 🙈). It got better after the workout (tabata + legs&glutes and only 3 more to go, from this 12 week programme 🎉) and in the evening I fought hunger heroically 👍.
I 🙋♀️ hope to make it in the winners circle 🙌. One pass left, as a buffer. 😉
