Exercise: ✔️ 20 minute HIIT ride on stationary bike, 15 minute core workout
Calories: ✔️
Tracking: ✔️
I was completely delighted to see that I'd lost another .6 of a pound at my weigh in this morning! Really wasn't expecting that, after two pass days last week. My 20 year old self would have been so frustrated by the slow progress I'm making, but my 57 year old self understands the commitment required to maintain a steady pace.9 -

Sincerely cheering for each of you hanging in there for this month! Stay focused. You are doing really well!
I'm still going to be posting, but I'm out of the circle - not even sure when I fell - but ...it's the journey I'm on! Moving forward - onward!
Over on calories
Might get to exercise tonight - but haven't so far.

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

All three pass days remain.
I’m shooting for a perfect month because I really want to prove to myself that I can do it. 1 week left to go. The colder weather isn’t helping, so I have to get creative with cardio indoors since our treadmill is still broken. Perhaps I’ll venture onto the forums and see what people have in the way of treadmill opinions for when we get around to replacing it.
I hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday.6 -

Woke up this morning to a good cover of snow. The family went off to enjoy the hills with friends while I did some indoor cardio and tidied up. The snow was virtually all gone by early afternoon when I drove home. Saying goodbye to my son was hard - very emotional for both of us. We went on two good long walks while I was there but we walked slowly and stopped to take in the views. He struggles to keep up with his 4 year-old daughter and I'm the one who plays tag with her.
I'm home now so back to the bike rides and the stricter tracking and calories.
I am sure that saying goodbye to your son was hard! My 23-year-old son decided when he was 21 that he would live with his girlfriend in Tampa, Florida! He packed up his whole car and drove from Illinois alone and straight through the 22 hours to get there! He did not tell us he had planned on doing this until 2 days prior; he was living with us too! One of the hardest years, the year he was gone and so far away! Happy to report, though, he came back home after a year and brought her with him! This I love!
Here they are together, holding my new Granddaughter on Friday! Proud Aunt and Uncle! They look so young, though, and it freaks me out! I was 3 years younger than my son is now when I married my husband! Did we really look this young?

Pass day 4. Got out of routine with all the craziness of last week so time to get it all back under control. Scale is still happy as I didn’t overdo anything too much and I’ve kept active.5
