@dsgoingtodoit Glad to see you back. Sorry about the heart attack, but glad that your mom has recovered well. Glad your previous time in the UAC helped you to best take care of yourself.
@thabit11 I'll be curious about your experiment.
@theresam787 Rough starts happen, but it sounds like you have the right mindset going forward. Last month I had 18 passes, but that was better than 31.
@dory_42 and @summerskier Hope tomorrow has you both feeling better post vaccine.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!

I wanted something chocolate all day long. And my sweet hubby picked me up a small container of Rebel's Keto Triple Chocolate Ice Cream (my fav!) So after dinner I was able to have a small portion and still come in under my calorie goal. Also, in April I'm not eating ANY of my exercise calories.6 -

3 x Yes today, but just barely on calories. My husband decided to make a batch of homemade ice cream today because it's already that time of year in south Texas. Highs in the 90s for the rest of this week! ☀️
I managed to get in 30 minutes of cardio exercise even though I was in no mood. Fortunately, that later helped offset the ice cream.
