✅ walked in AM🎉 proud of this
✅ tracked All (my amounts were overestimated)
✅ calories
Because I was careful prior to thanksgiving, ALL of my stats were low/normal for the week despite some higher salt/sat fat foods today.
Thrilled.

Yes for 3! SURPRISINGLY!
Family walk and crawling around after Grandbaby. All of that after our seafood feast! Lights are on the tree! and I am happy that the girls are planning the feast at Christmas. We announced today that I (mom) would not be able to cook that one and they really got excited I was asking them for help! I am so glad they are excited. Blessed beyond measure today and everyday.7 -
Today will be a pass day because it’s impossible to log my dinner. Per the Apple health app I walked 20,000+ mi (9.5 miles) today. That’s way more than normal.
Our view this afternoon:

Exercise:
2 good exergame walking sessions, plus other walks for a total of over 11,000 steps by bedtime
Logged: ended up with fitbit granting me 300 exercise-credit calories. Only ate back half of those (don't like leaving THAT big a gap between calories eaten and calories earned. Generally, I try to earn / leave uneatenen ~ 100 fitbit exercise calorie credits. )
Under Goal: as mentioned above, left ~ 150 exercise credits in the pot. Not being in the US, it was more like a "normal day" for me.
Thankful / grateful for- when I came back after a 7.5 month absence, this group was still in existance! (even though I see that @RangerRickL had passed the torch in the meantime)
- some of the familiar names were still here
- I have made new friends with people who found this wonderful virtual support-circle in my absence
- I am lucky enough to work in an environment where management takes 'supporting mental wellness' seriously, and walks the talk when needed.
- that I get to work off-site / have done so steadily from the beginning of the first all-of-Canada Stay in Place order back in March 2020 / and will most likely get to continue doing so right up until I retire at Christmas 2023.

Planned Pass Day. I didn't track, but I'm sure I went over. I also didn't get in my turkey Trot (walk) because it trained all day!
Pass Days Used: 3/3
I have to agree that I've been very blessed in 2021... what a great post Chris! I'm also so very grateful for my "fit family" - each one of you brings something unique and interesting to this group! ❤6 -

Exercise? Yes, but only because I walked the dog twice and had to run up and down the stairs a couple of times before leaving for my daughter's apartment because I kept forgetting things. Hahaha!
Tracking? I'm going to take a no on this one. I put in everything I ate, but I have no idea how much of most of it I ate. I didn't measure or weigh anythinng.
Calories? Way over. I know this because I ate a lot of cookies, breads, and sweets today.
Despite the difficulties of this past year, I can still find things to be grateful for (in no particular order of importance):
* The love of family and friends.
* The discovery and getting to know biological relatives.
* And after hearing some of the stories, I am beyond grateful I was put up for adoption as an infant. I have no idea who my birthmother was or what her family was like, but my birthfather, some of his siblings, and my maternal grandfather are people I think I'm glad I didn't ever have to know. On the other hand, the half-siblings I've met so far and the cousins I've talked to, see to be okay people. And that's a good thing.
* My daughter getting off the ECT treatments even though they didn't help and she's still struggling with her inner demons. Sometimes, now, she laughs with true joy and smiles with pleasure.
* I'm so grateful my son is recuperating from being sick with Covid the past couple of weeks, even if he didn't tell me until he was almost ready to go to the doctor for the follow-up visit that would, if he was okay, allow him to go back to work. He got that clearance, but he's still exhausted and wants to sleep 12-16 or more hours a day. Needless to say, he didn't come home for Thanksgiving today. I'm grateful for that as well. I'd rather he'd stay home and rest instead of risking exhaustion on the freeway. My daughter said that, even if he's been cleared, the way her luck has been running, he'd have one viable, infectious, virus cell left in his body and it would find her. She's probably right.
* I have a job. And it pays fairly well. And I only have 1496 days until my hoped for retirement. But who's counting.
* I'm grateful for all of you. Your progress, or your rare lapses followed by your inevitable recovery and progress again, is so inspirational. One day, I may have more 3 yes days than pass days. This is not that month, but I'm still here and I'm going to stick it out. So... Thank you for the positive role models that each and every one of you are.
Night all!5 -

Exercise - 15 minute MommaStrong Video, 15 minutes pacing the playground while children played
Tracking - Nope
Calories - Over
Planned Pass Day - Pass Day #3. I am hoping to have that be all and be in the Winner's Circle - we'll see!
After eating as I have been, I found that I could not fit all of the feasting I wanted to into my belly. I actually didn't even get to the pumpkin pie! But I thoroughly enjoyed the cooking and eating.
I put in our thanksgiving recipes into the the recipe calculator so that I have an idea of what I am eating when I eat leftovers. I upped my calories to weekend level for today too so that I can enjoy the leftovers moderately. Today is already tracked.
Grateful:
- So grateful that I found this group. I am learning so much from all of you - not just about weight loss, but also about really valuing your health in a world where that is difficult to do. Thank you to all of you.
- Also grateful that my mom could come for Thanksgiving and it seems to be a lovely visit so far - it's a long visit and that doesn't always go well, and we still have 3 days to go. But, the kids and she are different than they were the last time we tried such a long visit several years ago.
- Grateful that my kids are doing better than they were (my older overcoming some real challenges, my younger now a 5 year old instead of little kid), so we can enjoy a relaxed holiday together.

@WhatMeRunning - your opener was truly beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
I had a wonderful thanksgiving and was so focused on my family I didn’t have a chance to go nuts with the food. I’m so grateful we were all there, all healthy. There are too many families with someone missing from the table this year, be it Covid or any one of a number of reasons. I do not take for granted that we had 17 healthy happy people in the house. It was 7 pm before everyone left and I think they would have stayed longer if they didn’t have littles that needed to get home and to bed. I love that my grandkids want to be here and hate to leave. I love that my 3 daughters and their 3 husbands can sit here all day talking and laughing. I love that no one brought up politics! It was a great day and I feel so content.4 -
✅ Exercise - 1 hour of Jazzercise
X Calories - I was slightly over even with exercise adjustment
X Tracking - Yesterday was basically an OMAD situation and I pre-logged and estimated what I ate, but since I didn't weigh anything, really hard to tell
Closed all my Apple watch rings today
5/3 Pass days used4 -
Last night i took a pass as i saw the calories go negative but today I realized I hadn’t actually added the exercise. It’s still over on calories but not that bad. It helped that I only ate about half of the food.

-Good friends Cheryl and Art.
-A stronger, slimmer body that is free from restriction that I can do what I want with.

Exercise – yes
Tracking – yes
Calories – yes
I too have much to be thankful for – a wonderful daughter who has been so strong and supportive this last 2 years. My daughter-in-law, who has become very dear to me. My 4 grandchildren. My sisters and my mum.
The big news item here in the UK is the migrants who risk and lose their lives crossing the Channel every day. 27 died in one boat just a couple of days ago – several from one family. I am thankful that I live in a peaceful, democratic country and have a roof over my head and food in my belly and I don’t have to worry about war.
I’m grateful to the doctor who saved my son’s life two years ago when he suffered a critical intercranial pressure event and almost died. I’m grateful we had 15 extra months with him, with opportunities to talk and laugh – too many people lose loved ones too young to illness, accident, violence etc without the opportunity to say things that they wish they had.

@lesdarts180 My heart goes out to you and all your family. Thankful that you have a supportive family. 💛 I read a few days ago that hip replacement may be on the horizon? I hope it goes well for you and provides needed relief from pain, as well as long term future mobility.0
