I was absolutely convinced that this was going to be a pass day. It wasn't!
My exercise was working in the garden an hour or so. I had a relatively late breakfast that was higher calorie than usual and we had planned a dinner that I knew packed a huge number of calories, brandied shrimp. Mom and I allow ourselves a half pound of shrimp each with that dish because it tastes so good. I also allowed myself several glasses of wine. When all was said and done, I was surprised to see that I was still under on calories.
Then only downside is that even though I slept all night, eating a lot of rich food that late and having the wine meant that the sleep wasn't really restful. But ohhhh did it taste good. LOL3 -

We get 300 + days of sunshine here, but today was one of the other 60. Grey, cold (well, relatively) and wet, reminiscent of London, UK, or Northern Netherlands or (worst) Brussels, Belgium. Any Belgians on UAC?2 -

Man alive, what a GREAT life Bandit has 🐎
@Chinkiri If I say I like Belgian dark chocolate does that count?
I was outside on this day, putzing around my neighborhood trying to find a soft surface to skip on (reason: middle-aged knees 🤷🏾♀️), and ended up in an elementary schoolyard. They had a snakes 'n chutes game painted onto the concrete so even though I didn't get the softer surface I was looking for, I got to play while skipping

Maddie, I was thinking about "MaybeIveGotthis?" and my small experience in maintenance has been that it's NEVER the same. It's good to go on stretches for a month at a time trying things but it's also really important to realize that just like in losing, what might have worked in year 1 or 3 might not work in yr 2 or 4 so we have to be flexible in our approach and willing to adapt. It's why I never really am able to explain "what is success" in maintenance because it is of course also quite individual. If what you are currently doing works that is perfect, but if at some point it no longer works due to whatever reason, it's not a failure, it's just a change.3 -
Start weight, April 1, 2021: 124.6April 1, 2021 – 124.6 (+1.4)Thoughts and Goals for April:
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 – 153.0April has arrived and I am sitting here reflecting back on this month. It is the first month since September that I have closed the month with an “up”. That said, an up had to come at some point since at some point one is no longer trying/needing to lose weight, and I had passed my original goal back in January, I believe. The up on its own would be fine, but the habits, or lack thereof, that crept into my March are the concern. So, for the month of April, I will be focusing on returning to preplanning/pre-tracking as much as is possible and to not just thrown in the day it does not go as planned. I know that I know how to re-group and I need to make sure I find the time and energy for that. I want to up my cardio. Yes, I am “group walking” every day which burns calories, but honestly, I could walk at that pace for hours and hours without effort. I need to push myself, here and there, again. I will also be trying to maintain the social aspect of the group walks as well, so juggling all those time commitments will take a little focus. Lastly, I need to return to adding back exercises. I have not planked in a month, and rarely done exercises other than walking, running, or biking. So I need to figure out how to include bodyweight or dumbbell workouts. Here’s to April.April History

*** Sitting here as I write this, I have to wonder if posting my thoughts here this morning helped me to frame and get through the day. This morning, I did actually expect today to be a pass day, despite the slight optimism I expressed in my post. Ten minutes later, I decided to track a tentative day – carrot cake, stuffed shells and all. When I got done, I saw that even with every food included I could meet my calorie goals for the day. Portion control was the key. The plan was 90% accurate and the other 10% was adjusted on the fly. When I added something, I took something else away (sorry salad :P ). I enjoyed Easter with no pass today. The success feels good!

Apple Watch TDEE: updated the following day – see spoiler
*** Had an interesting moment today that I hope will help me to understand the benefit of what was accomplished these 6 months. Today, I got home from a short grocery shopping including two bottles of wine to bring to friends on Sunday. I hate using the elevator at the building so I take the two flights to our condo. I carried all the groceries at once, from the car, through the parking and up the two flights. Not hard, but I could feel the difference. As an experiment, I walked directly to the scale when I got in our unit to see how high a combined weight I now was. I was still almost 9 lbs less that what I weighed in September, and almost 24 lbs less than my high in 2001. Hopefully experiments like this will help me keep focus, and keep my maintenance going. Yo-yo-ing has been my tendancy.

*** what a difference a day makes. So interesting seeing yesterday’s comment in light of how today went. Day started well by entering another 5K race and did well. Then guests failed to show on time and failed to communicate and threw off the days good intensions. Had been pre-tracked but that all got thrown away as the day evolved and I could not rapidly re-group.
Passes remaining: 0

@SModa61 Guests fail to show on time and don't communicate. That does make me angry too!0
