Sorry for stranding you here alone, Janatki. I strayed wayward for awhile (maybe I was lost down the bunny trail???? I thought he went thataway!)
Some modification - a la PAV
Tuesday April 19
⭐ Max 2000 calories - aim for 1,500 (1762)
⭐ Min 10,000 - aim for 15,000 steps (12,502)
15 minutes of physio 10 minutes exercise bike
⭐ 10 bunnies a day (14.5)
Adjusted 3 of my goals. Calories - most days 2000 calories is under maintenance so I'm giving myself a low key lower deficit range in the hope it will reduce binging. I'm almost done physio - and really busy lately - so I'll alternate exercises on different days and aim for 15 minutes. That feels less daunting. And if I could manage 10 minutes on that bike I would be happy - though I didn't do it yesterday - I just have to get my bottom on that seat! Again, 10 minutes feels so very manageable!
May more latitude improve my attitude (oh, I just came up with that one and kind of like it! ) 3 -

would be happy if I wasn't eating over the top....2 -
So I have a whole new strategy to achieve a tidier house/garden AND burn more NEAT calories.
I can happily ignore mess, clutter and squalor if I'm engrossed in a good book or frittering away hours on social media, because left to my own devices I'm naturally an indolent and slatternly woman. So, to hold me more accountable, I've drawn up a list of chores that I ought to do much more regularly than I currently do...
The plan is that I need to earn at least one tick per day for the chores...and ideally a bonus tick for the extra flights of stairs.
Day one and I'm doing good
Feel free to nag and slob-shame me if I start to backslide...4 -
But, but, but ⭐⭐⭐s are sooooooo much better than ✔️✅☑️
I mean... we want to avoid ticks, especially American and/or brown 🐹🐹🐹3 -

Monday April 22
⭐Max 2000 calories - aim for 1,700 (1756)
⭐ Min 10,000 - aim for 15,000 steps (10,165)
⭐ 15 minutes of physio
⭐ 10 minutes exercise bike

So...I was just about to go to bed (long day...dopey tired) but this is the closest I've been to a 5 star day since I started back on this crazy thread (thank you, Janatki) so, first, I'm going to go into the back room and get on that freakin' bike for 10 minutes.
I've bumped up my daily calories. Hope this will stop the crazy spinoffs. Today I felt like maybe, just maybe, I'm starting to absorb the slow and steady wins the race mentality. It feels like it is going to take some kind of disassociation but maybe I can do that? Or maybe today's way of thinking is just a fluke.4 -

Tuesday April 26 Max 2000 calories - aim for 1,700 (2163) Maybe just below maintenance! - but required drawing on all available superpowers to pull that off after a compulsive dive from the boat in the late afternoon.
⭐ Min 10,000 - aim for 15,000 steps (10,165)
⭐ 15 minutes of physio
⭐ 10 minutes exercise bike (12 and some really hard pedalling for 2 of those...lol...bunny steps)
⭐ 10 bunnies a day (11)
Brave enough to weigh myself today - I'm stayed within 1kg for the past month. I would like to see a loss - but must say with the bopping around of my CICO I was suprised/relieved to find that I am sort of "maintaining."3 -
Bella - will you please add one more row to your chart?
Either:
Half an hour cleaning in Laurie's house (anywhere!)
or
Kick Laurie's bottom into gear so that she does half an hour cleaning in her house (anywhere!) 2 -
Sorry Laurie, no can do. As you can see, housework is already taking a back seat to gardening...

As it should, Bella!2
