@fatbambi2017 I had to look up Shrove Tuesday. Here in the USA, our Roman Catholic son-in-law refers to this day by the rather vulgar, Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday. Best wishes to you!4

@calvin20874 Swimming! I am envious! Are swimming pools open near you or do you live in a warm climate and you have your own? I love swimming, but public pools have been closed for months now ...

FEBRUARY 2021 ULTIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE

October 2, 2020 – 147.8 (-5.2)
September, 14, 2020 – 153.0
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!!!

*** Completed 1400+ miles of driving and got to MIL’s florida home for the night. Leaving again in the morning. Walked her neighborhood after dark with my led arm bands and thought my “strolling” sneakers would cut it. They did not. Cut walk short. Those were my only shoes I packed for the road trip. Will remember next time to bring another option.

*** 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.

Used an old technique of going upstairs (away from food) at night. It worked. I was tired & sleepy, not hungry.
Our cat is hanging in. Her food, water are next to our bed & she seemed to enjoy having me around. She’s eating & drinking a ton, and sleeping most of the rest of the time. Still purring

Fell behind - but caught up two days of posts.
I love this group! Even if I disappear for a day or two, I still feel connected and accountable.
My NSV - today we ordered lunch from a local deli that is so wonderful. Their dessert special was key lime pie which is my absolute, no-doubt-about-it, hands down, favorite dessert. So what did I order - I ordered ONE HALF of my favorite sandwich and NO pie. I felt satisfied and perfectly happy.8 -

@alligatorob MFP is very glitchy. The app works okay on my cell phone, but I use my Surface laptop to do everything else. BTW: this is the second time that I wrote this post, the first time, MFP shut down.
