Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    @SModa61 - Sounds like you are being plenty active, cleaning up a full house filled by life is not easy, explains why you are trimming up. Are you thinking of straight up strength training by chance since the target is muscle development?

    @whatmerunning I would love to do pure strength training again. I have done it in the past. Problem with the heavier end of that exercise, is it needs bigger equipment, which either means outfitting a home or joining a facility. Problem with that (and I won't get any pity here), is that we have three homes in different states (mass, maine, florida). So with a gym, in the mass and maine scenario, that means two gyms at the same time payment wise. We go back and forth with an imprecise pattern for 5 months. Could so planet fitness, but I also likely need some refresher guidance. Not sure trainers work in them (they do have staff but unclear about their knowledge). I have dumbells and TRX and can do body weight. Even if I don't go that way, I think I need to focus on "pushing" myself with whatever I do - in the cardio genre that would likely doing the running more often than the fast walking or indoor bike that I have up north (florida I have a spin bike - Maine I have NO equipment and place is small).

    That's where I am at

    I also meant to add a note to @mshawski I did read your post to me the other day and I added it to my notes. I don't think I acknowledged you and now cannot find the original post, but I have already extracted its contents for my word file.

    Class at gym and a whooooole lot of stuff at my mother’s house from gardening to installing window unit air conditioners to hanging clocks. Then home for garden stuff and moving heavy things around the patio. I called it 60 minutes of yard work in my calorie journal, despite being at it for hours, because I’m still unsure how to properly harness the yardwork or house work exercise options. Logging 6 hours of hard labor seems like cheating. I decided an hour would do. I do know my calories burned number today was quite high, and now I need to stretch becuase I feel like I was hit by a truck 😂. I do enjoy the fact that it seems like due to my efforts at the gym I’m equally as able and efficient at moving the heavy things as my husband now. 😎💪🏻

    This increased eating to fight the plateau is weird though and I feel like I’m cheating daily, so I feel like I’m fibbing by not taking a pass day. 😒

    @MaltedTea - I seem to get stuck at like 130 and can’t seem to get over that hump. At least it’s more than I was eating? I’ve got a lot of egg white, cottage cheese, and fake soy sausage and meatballs lined up this week so maybe I’ll hit a higher number. I don’t know how sustainable it is though. What protein powders do you enjoy?

    @SModa61 - No worries at all, but thanks for the note. 🤗
