Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yep, 75 minutes on the spin bike, followed by a 60 minute Barre class in the morning, at my fitness center, then 90 minutes strength training, 30 minutes on the Concept 2 rowing machine, and finished up with another 45 minutes on the spin bike this evening at home.

We just got a Concept 2 a few weeks ago! I get bored after like 15 min tops. Anything special you do for workouts that you’d be willing to share? My hubs used to be a rower so he just happily rows for a straight 30 minutes and my brain can’t handle that. Lol.4 -
Over by about the same amount of calories that I would have burned, had I worked out... 🤷♀️ I need to get my act together, not so happy about my workout routine so far this month...

The only act you need to get together is your emoji game @dewit. I miss your super colorful posts lol
Kudos @SModa61 for your perfect week! 🥳 You also inspired me to get outside this morning for a 4km out and back "coffee run" after saying you went out in cold weather. When I converted Fahrenheit to Celcius, we had the same temperature so I had no more excuses to stay inside.

I was planning on taking a pass day today because of the SuperBowl. I was actually really excited about that, since it meant I didn't have to exercise.
But then I did my weekly weigh-in this morning and saw that I'd lost a pound. My goal is .5 per week--the weight loss needs to be slow if it's going to be sustainable, and I am TIRED of losing this same 10-15 pounds over and over again. The biggest loss I've had was .7 since I started using MFP again. Last Sunday, I recorded a very disappointing .3 loss. So a full pound in one week was a pretty big deal.
I didn't want to blow it, but I also wanted to enjoy the SuperBowl with my husband and son. So I decided to exercise as usual (45 minute walk) and track my calories, even if I wasn't going to stay in budget. As it turned out, I didn't track every cookie and potato chip, which is why I'm still calling this a pass day. But I did stick to my no eating after 7 p.m. rule.
So. This is pass day #1, but it was the smartest pass day I can imagine taking. Certainly much better than the totally-off-the-chain day I had planned for myself.11 -

Nothing special really. I just crank up some hard rock/metal on the stereo and go at it. I agree it can be pretty boring ( lol ), but I'm like your hubs, I like to row. I need to do more of it! Would it be possible to watch tv or listen to a podcast, radio, music, while you row? Such a great overall workout, but definitely not everyone's cup of tea.4 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
yes. I had forgotten because Sunday is usually a rest day for me, so I ended up setting a timer and jogging in place for 20 minutes while watching Outlander
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Yes, with a little leftover
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
yes
2 pass days left. Yesterday was my daughter's birthday, so I took a pass day.4 -
@pamsja Well done! Quoting you, "the smartest pass day that I can imagine taking." It is so important that you avoided a cheat day which is usually a complete loss of control. You are doing great!!5

I don't follow any specific sports, but Rose loves to watch the Big Games. Since we did not party with anyone, our calories were not a problem.
Exercise: Early morning active stretching. I keep adding new stretches. This week it was a shoulder rotation that I saw on a horse training video. Later in the day, at least 37 minutes walking. Horse activity too.
Tracking: probably the first Super Bowl Sunday that I was well below my calorie limit.4 -
