I figured today would be a pass day as my brother is in town to play golf so we went out to dinner with him to a nice Mexican style restaurant. I tried to stay within my calorie limits by making reasonable choices (and even avoided the chips & salsa) but after I entered some of the basics of the dishes as well as the sparking wine I had I was over though not by much. We have no plans for this US holiday weekend so I think I can avoid any more passes for the rest of the month.
I don't think I've learned anything new but I've certainly been reminded that vacations and restaurant meals have been and will continue to be a problem for me in meeting my goals.
@SModa61 Nice walk you got there

🍀Calories under
🍀Tracked all!
🍀Exercise 6,232 steps at altitude
Very happy that my calories are coming in under when I add my snack & dinner at the end of the day. Maintenance seems to be becoming easier. Fingers crossed.
Weighing my food & tracking it is important, but my transition to eating what I feel I need first & then checking calories seems to be progressing.
I think part of it is I’m at peace at my goal weight range & how I look. Took a while, but I’m pretty thrilled!!
What I learned this month?
1. Resting early plantar fasciitis with regular icing & the slower, fewer steps worked. Also-always wearing shoes, snuggly laced.
2. Doctors are amazing.
3. Medical tests sometimes give surprisingly unexpected & 100% healthy results!!!
4. That I truly should worry much less.
5. I’m still growing, learning, developing new interests, friends, & dreams!
6. That creating my own style of art is joyful & effortless & calming & rejuvenating
7. That travel is necessary & nature is vital to my well being!
8. That sequins & beads are magical bits of colored light!
9. That my most important job is gratefulness & keeping perspective.11 -
I haven’t really learnt anything new this month, just been reminded how much I love working towards something so even though competitions are cancelled for at least 6 weeks, I can start working towards the next one and use that as a focus point for my training.8

I came so close to the winners circle but today was a pass. Ah well back on the horse the very next day.
Wat i hve learnt? Wen i hit my goal weight 2 months ago i shld hve just went to maintainance instead of trying to continue to loose weight. Ive also learnt that my timeframe for over eating is once a week on average. Learnt that pass days dnt work for me. Ive started to track all the food i eat even on my bad days instead of just sweeping it under the rug. Lastly ive learnt wat my triggers are. I am still not able to stop the over eating yet but the positive news is i use to overeat daily so once a week is an improvement! Xox8 -
Timely question. Just this day, we did our monthly fly-in lunch. We’ll get as many as 100 people, 30 planes and a few helicopters. I spend a few hours at the grill. When things slow down, I start to graze. I pre-checked calories thinking I could stop in time, but I continued grazing leftovers until I left at the end of the day. As I think it over, perhaps if I had put my food on a plate, actually sat down for a couple minutes and ate a real lunch, the desire to graze could be stopped. That will be next months strategy.
Exercise - not really
Tracked - yes
Under - nope
Pass days used 3/3
With the holiday weekend, a ballgame, and family here, I’ll have to be extra diligent to make it to the winners circle. This is a reminder to be more diligent at the beginning of each month so I don’t get in this predicament at the end,7 -

Reading everyone’s insights was wonderful this morning. This month, I have been reminded that everyone has so much to deal with in their lives. I have also been working on closing the gap between my expectations vs my actual capabilities.
