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!
Passes remaining: 26 -
❌ did not exercise
❌ did not come close to my goal.
❌ did not accurately track everything that I ate and drank (estimated)
Well, it’s day four and I haven’t hit my calorie goal once. Today I consumed double what my goal is. Tomorrow I am getting back on track.
Pass days left ZERO5 -
Not enough exercise today to count.
Not for lack of wanting to, and I did do some work around the house early on but just got too tired to continue. May have pushed the recovery thing a bit too hard the last couple of days. So a pass day. I did eat well and log, so all is not lost...6 -

🌿🍀🍃
With the scale decreasing, and my wt in my maintenance range, I decided to give myself 500 extra calories for Easter - still no sugar - and came in using only 388.
1 hr 56 minute hike, 500’ elevation, burning 90 more calories than my average
So net +300 😃4
