    @mshawski I would LOVE the idea of having a book club, and weird you mentioned it because I was thinking of doing the same thing this month! I LOVE reading books too! I am currently reading the title SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS by Thomas Erikson, and it is great so far and found out I am the color YELLOW! We ALL have a color, and it helps you communicate better with people if you know what color they are, very INTERESTING! <3

    I looked up SURROUNDED BY IDIOTS by Thomas Erikson, and it seems to be the basis behind a "What Kind of Leader are You?" course I took. The course was very informative (and let me say straight off that people are rarely a PURE colour .... and that your default in good times and your default under stress are not necessarily the same, although certain types do tend to default in certain directions

    The pdf is available on line to download if people DO want to do a book-club thing in the "What's On Your Mind Today": space.

    Exercise: Yes, my regular cardio and a small core exercise routine
    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Yes

    Since this is the March 1 entry, I thought I'd share plans. A few weeks ago I decided to add a gradual increase in steps and meeting the stairs goal my watch sets. So far, I missed that on just 1 day. This month, I want to gradually walk outside and have added a three day a week core exercises routine for base strength.

    Yes, it talks about what you mentioned in the book. I am mostly a yellow, but also a red, and even some blue! It says that people tend to be more one color or two colors, but on the rare occasion can even be three colors! It also states that most people tend to be green. I found it funny that my husband is blue, and I am yellow, and our 2 kids are green. I am a hairdresser, so we work off the color wheel and thought it explains why the kids are green because if you mix a blue and a yellow, you get GREEN! Think a book everyone should read!

    MARCH 2021 UNTIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE

    Start weight, March 1, 2021: 123.2
    March 1, 2021 – 123.2 (-3.0)
    February 1, 2021 - 126.2 (-5.8); Tanita BF scale at 6 am 126.5 and 26%BF
    January 1, 2021 – 132 (-3.6)
    December 1, 2020 – 135.6 (-5.2)
    November 6, 2020 – 140.8 (-7.0)
    October 2, 2020 – 147.8 (-5.2)
    September 14, 2020 – 153.0

    I need to revisit how I am handling my daily calorie goal for maintenance as I am “failing” in that regard as I lost another 3 lbs while “maintaining” during this month. Having two variables of food calories and exercise calories is challenging for me. In the past I have lost and maintained with less significant exercise numbers so it was more a single variable. I do not want to drop back on exercise as I am doing it for overall health and fitness.

    Thoughts for daily calories goal
    Just use MFP to calculate my maintenance calories/day. Nutritional needs are estimated at 1590, and it predicts that with exercise, I would need 1862 for 1 hour exercise for days/week. Average Apple Watch TDEE for February was 2126. Average calories consumed/day for February were 1686. With three pound loss over the month, to maintain, I would have needed an additional 375 calories/day for a total of 2073/calories/day. So, my thought for March is to consider my daily goal, 1590 plus daily exercise, but, for planning sake, I will expect that number to be around 1900 calories.

    March History

    Date: 3/1
    Exercised?: Yes, 1:27:01 group walk at 17’27” pace for 4.98 miles
    Calories?: Yes, 1890/1590 daily + 309 exercise (net 9 cal)
    Tracked?: Yes
    Rings Closed?: Yes, March goal is 27 out of 30 days
    Apple Watch TDEE: Filled in next day/visible in March history spoiler
