Exercise: ✅ 1 mile walk, 5 mile run
Calories: ✅
Tracking: ✅
I made it through day one of house guests on plan! Yippee! The calories from the 5 mile run helped, but I also prelogged everything and stuck to what I logged. I did the same thing for tomorrow - when I plan on making a batch of those jalapeño and cheddar scones - so sticking to the one I logged ahead of time will be the trick!

While walking the cats this morning I was listening a Food Code podcast. Had some points and content I've never heard before. Not sure what I think, and curious about what others may think.
https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-food-code/more-exercise-doesnt-always-70pwA25jMqB/
That book I talked about last week THE OBESITY CODE talked about this very thing. The author, Dr. Jason Fung, said that "Losing weight is 95% WHAT we eat and approx 5% exercise... and while we need to exercise for various reasons, weight loss is not one of them." Like @Winner_in_Life said earlier on this very thread: "Working out is great for improving fitness, but weight loss happens in the kitchen” I'll finish listening to this podcast tonight, but I wanted to stop and say that I've definitely been over-doing it when it comes to exercise.

Taking a pass day today--I didn't track calories carefully (probably okay, but I can't be sure) and I was too exhausted from the week to think about a dedicated workout. I ran a lot of errands that involved a lot of walking--but, again, I can't be sure.
@lacatgirl those plateaus are the WORST! So disheartening. I've never found a way to break through other than waiting them out.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Exercise was just a couple of hours of yard work, but it felt good. The Dr today told me it would be ok, so I did it. Dr also told me that the hernias were worse and took longer and more work than expected. He said he was not surprised my recovery has been slow, but I am recovering. Too many pass days to make the WC this month, but my consolation is that I have been eating well, logging and doing what exercise I can. Not a bad month so far!7 -
Thanks, @RangerRickL I really needed this post! April will be a hard month, just like March. I don't want to get astray from my healthier lifestyle, but today is my third pass day, and I can see more of them in the near future. I'm facing so much pressure and stress, have so many things to do! I'm almost forced to give up dieting and exercising.
I truly hope I don't give up just yet! right now I'm thinking of changing my daily planning when I eat and exercise, maybe this will help me find the time. I will also stop cooking and eat with the family, it will be harder to measure the calories, but I'll always choose the highest possibility. I'm only going to eat one meal, the rest is sort of snaking ( yogurt, coffee...etc) so it will be okay I guess. I will be happy as long as I lose some this month and gain nothing!
goodnight to you all, hope you have a better April than me.
@thabit11
If it is too difficult & you feel like giving up... & you are feeling a lot of “stress & pressure, please consider increasing your daily calorie goal to a total that will let you maintain your current weight.
Then, as things become less stressful, you can then choose a new goal.

Squeaked through another day! 25 minutes walking, stayed under calories - just- and tracked, fairly late, but quite sure I didn't forget anything.
A lot of us seem to be having a difficult time. We're here to support each other!
