Pass day today. I got plenty of walking exercise but tracking has been abandoned for the day.
I had planned to have a pass day but the plan was scrapped. It’s a long story but I’m at home – which wasn’t the plan. I was supposed to be sitting in the bar after spending the afternoon by the pool (and possibly in it), having had a delicious dinner in the buffet restaurant. Instead of which I’m at home having had a late lunch in a local pub after a very early breakfast. I haven’t finished eating yet today but I haven’t got the energy to try to work out the calories in what I’ve eaten. As I’m going to be at home for the rest of the month, I can afford a pass day today.
Here’s the story should you care to read itWe had a fortnight holiday booked in Lanzarote – in an all-inclusive hotel. However, my boyfriend/partner hates flying and it’s been over two years since we last flew anywhere. We were going abroad 3 or even 4 times a year. He didn’t like it but he did manage to get on the plane. This time he realised that we were probably going to be on a Boeing Max (the plane that had two disastrous accidents a couple of years ago) and it just completely took him out. He was getting more and more anxious, he told me a few weeks ago that he was worried and didn’t know if he could do it.
So yesterday we made the journey to the airport and booked into the hotel. He was in a real state but was torn about the whole issue. This morning we got up early (5 am) had breakfast and walked up to the airport. We got to the front of the check in queue and he couldn’t go though with it.
We then had a tedious long cold wait around the airport to catch a return bus. Finally got home about noon. So, I shall be home now not away on holiday. (I didn’t want to go on my own)

Exercise ✅ [10 min run + 5 min stretch + > 20 min walk]5 -
Jeez @lesdarts180 that's very hard. I don't travel a lot either because of the animals but I also don't like going alone. I have but not preferred. Too bad you could not have gotten some perflight valium for your partner.

on the negative aspect of laughter - anyone else but me sometimes get the hiccups if they laugh too hard? I know it makes me look younger because the lines on my face get stretched. Not sure about all the benefits listed but it is nice to have a good laugh and I do enjoy being around folks who have some humor.6 -
Laughing has always been important to me, and has proven quite critical. Most of my life I truly enjoyed helping others laugh, I had a gift of humor, and would sometimes spend weeks waiting to drop some gift I came up with at just the right moment. I'm a lot more reclusive now due to the special needs required to keep my immediate family together, but humor is often the only thing that saves us mentally. My kids have inherited my gift of humor which never fails to be... interesting, at a bare minimum at least! 😳 Their senses of humor are quite interesting, as are all of their senses for that matter thanks to that whole autism thing.10

Posting for yesterday and today - both pass days because tracking has been abandoned as we’ve had a big family weekend - my daughter made her confirmation yesterday so a party last night - lots of prep, lots of work, lots of family around. So so so tired today but had to keep going - for lunch at my sister in laws house. I’ve not eaten indulgently but I’ve not had the headspace to track or think too hard about my food choices. Looking forward to a return to the routine tomorrow!
@lesdarts180 I feel for you. Anxiety is heightened when you’re not pushed to do something regularly, how thoroughly stressful and miserable for you both. A friend of mine has a partner with similar limitations (left the airport because they were on an American a Airlines flight (it was a code share with the airline he’d booked with) and felt it was a terrorist target!). They have found Valium very useful!

Have had a great weekend. Between having my granddaughter with out her parents was complete joy and getting ready for Thursday with the whole clan here my heart is complete. I know I will enjoy Lilith more as she grows. Eating has been great. Exercise abundant. Elliptical, walking and chasing a toddler.8 -
Thanks for the good wishes on my feeling crappy over the COVID booster. Nearly back to normal now :-)
Yesterday 3xyes. I managed to go for an hour walk on a cold but sunny afternoon. Really nice
Today - 3xyes. I went for a lovely hike around and up a hill called Shutlingsloe. The weather started off fantastic and it lasted all day. Just a shame it is getting dark so quickly now.
1 Pass day

Feeling good. Hoping to be cleared for weights this week from the surgery, will know on Tuesday. Not sure my foot is ready to start walking next week (from the plantar fasciitis) but I am hopeful for perhaps the week of December 1st if I continue with no discomfort each morning (7 days straight now).6 -
21st
* Still h've a cold and lots of endometriosis pain so forced myself to do 20 min stretching.
* Way under calories.
* Tracked every BLT.
My endometriosis pain had disappeared after the birth of bub 18mths ago but unfortunately it came back with a vengeance this w/e. Disappointed that it is back and may hve to look at cutting down on animal products, sugar and gluten in the near future to help with the pain. The thought of hving to restrict myself from these foods makes me sad as I really love them but I know it will more than likely help with the inflamation and pain.
I'll jump on later to catch up on ur posts. Hve a great day and night. Xo7 -

@victorious55 I will give that video a try. I am not much of a stretcher but I have been trying to add some.
Exercise: Surprisingly nice weather so I got out for a 4 mile run.
Tracking: I went out to dinner tonight and although I threw some numbers into the tracker it could be off by 500 calories either way. I will post a pic and I would love to hear what others would estimate.
Calories: Well, I made it official today. After a 33 week/68 pound journey I decided to join the maintenance ranks. I figured I would just dive in, so I went out to eat. No scale. No measuring cups. Nothing more than a guess really for the tracker, but even estimating around 1000 calories, I was still under 1800 for the day which should have snuck in under my TDEE according to my fitbit. Hopefully!
Anyway, it was a big step for me to eat something "unregulated," and I feel okay with it.

November 21st.
Did I exercise? No not really. Just a little stretching and rest. Right quad is irritated. Going up and down stairs is hard.
Yes to the other 2.
This is my final pass.
I will keep posting and reading comments. I am bummed that I have an injury but I have to take care of it.
