Oddly, I wrote what I ate on sticky notes &’put them in my pocket. Usually I enter them after eating the meal. So I went to look how I’d done & the day was blank!!!! What?!
So I fished them out of my pocket & entered them. I was fine❣️

The person who helps with our yard was here today while I was at work. After cleaning up one of the bedding areas to prepare for him this weekend, it really looks good. He can do in a day what would take me a month of evenings and weekends. I am glad we found him.3 -
Another day of recovery without exercise... My second pass day this month.
I did stay on track with calories and logged so not a terrible day. Recovery from the surgery is slower and more painful than I had expected, but I am recovering.5 -

The commit and focus part of decide-commit-focus-succeed is the hardest part... but it’s the only way to get from decide to succeed. Thanks for this challenge that helps us with that part!6 -
@biketheworld Right back at you: it's great to read your updates too! As for us Canadians, we're slowly infiltrating the UAC lol
@eimscd Welcome to you! As you can see, everyone is super warm. You'll love it here!
@lesdarts180 It's so nice to hear that friends and family will be able to gather around your son, albeit differently, before the burial. You're often in my thoughts.

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!

*** Finished yesterday with “success feels good” and had a total crash day after my entertaining was over. Ate badly and slept a ton.
Most interesting thing though is looking at the difference in TDEE.
