@SummerSkier, @dsgoingtodoit, @pamjsa (and perhaps @newbie2143?!) you're all in TX area with no power and my heart goes out to you all!
@MaltedTea , thank you so much for the well wishes, but I am in Canada (Ontario)... I have power and I am used to shovelling snow! Like you, my heart certainly goes out to everyone dealing power and water outages!3 -

Plans for setting calorie goalFor February, I will be joining the others in the group that are here for accountability while maintaining. I am adding 200 calories/day to my January target calories, for a total of 1680. For comparison, MFP stated that my maintenance calories should be 1610. We’ll see how this goes and adjust daily calorie goal if I begin to consistently gain.
Also, I will consider calories a “yes” if either my food is under 1680, or my net is under 1400. Both of those numbers are 200 calories above my January numbers.Date: 2/1

***So though my “exercise” is on the lighter side, before I headed outside at 8:40 PM in 27 degrees, my apple watch said I had already done 602/510 move calories, 49/30 exercise min, 14/12 stand hours, 9,792 steps, 4.4 miles and 138 flights.
Today was also my “second” run. Shorter than my first, but I needed to make sure my second run was a success so there would ever be a third. I did throw in a hill AND the one time I passed my friendly speed detector I sped up and got it to flash a “9”. :P

*** I owe a bunch of responses and will catch up today. At dinner time last night, I made gnocchi but scalded my hand and dropped my iphone into the recently boiling water when I tripped on the dishwasher door while carrying the pot to drain while calling for information to help get my advanced senior parents their COVID vaccinations. Amazingly, saved the gnocchi, iphone works (was in the hot water at least 5 minutes – Kudos to Apple), parents got their appointments, and I after a long evening trying to treat my hand I feel asleep with mega dose of advil and my wrapped hand in a bucket of cold water. This morning, I think it is going to be ok. Still tender, but I think I won’t lose any skin. Last night, I tried to type on the computer but could not, and for my indoor cycling I did it will my hand raised over my head. The cycling increased blood flow made my hand burn like heck. BUT, no Pass day. I am saving those for something I enjoy!!!

*** Made it to Marathon. The last 200 miles took 5 hours, then unloading the SUV I stuffed full because, why not? Boxes are everywhere. Made dinner and at 7:45 headed out for first long walk in a while. Did 5.5 miles. I think I need to acclimate to the temps and humidity in Florida. 75 degrees is not super pleasant for me…..yet. When I left home two days ago, it was 14 degrees. I personally like 58 to a high of 73. Yes, you can ask me why we bought a place in Florida. :P Tomorrow AM, I will step on the scale for my reference point for the next 10+ weeks. My scale here and the one at home are within .2, so it will also tell me how my planning and pre-tracking worked for the trip. Paper expects it to be fine/good.

@SModa61 Is there a reason behind my under-eating? 🤔 It's really poor time management, methinks. So I might have to switch to intermittent fasting (IF) to regiment my eating schedule. Thank you for posing the question I didn't ask myself lol
And biking - of any sort - is positively addictive! Happy trails 🚴♀️
@Beautyofdreams I hope your healthcare team is able to get you on a better treatment plan, pronto. Dizzy spells sound scary
@achagpar and @Bovaryoo My sympathies to your pain issues too 🙏🏿
@newbie2143 thanks for the clarification! Who knew there were so many 🇨🇦 in UAC?
@MadisonMolly2017 Happy to hear any good news about your beloved 🐈

Still picking up the pieces and trying to wind down after a week in survival/panic mode. Stores were cleaned out and are slowly stocking up again, so we're still eating whatever we can find. That makes meal planning difficult, but at least we have water and electricity!
I'm throwing in the towel for the last week of this month. It makes no sense to try to manage my diet when I can't manage what I have in my refrigerator. Hoping to come back strong in March.11 -
