    Track: Yes
    Calories: No
    Exercise: Yes (🧘‍♂️51 min;🤽‍♂️123 min;🚶‍♂️3 mi/67 min;👣15,441 steps)
    Goals/Day/Comments: Plenty of exercise and I was still under on calories, barely. But I think Garmin's estimates of my activity calories is inflated, so I'm thinking I probably consumed more than I burned.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Way under. I think I didn't eat too much because I'm nervous about a job interview tomorrow.
    Exercise: Unfortunately, none. Stress really does a number on me.

    Does anyone have any advice on how to stay on a good diet and exercise schedule when you feel paralyzed by stress? 🤔

    No real good de-stressing advice here.. matter of fact I eat when I’m stressed but I’m also over- active so maybe that cross-cancels itself out? 🤷🏻‍♀️
    In all those times I never “not” exercise, whether it’s 20 minutes, 10 minutes or even 5 minutes I always get it in, reason being; I made it such an every day thing that it feels weird when I don’t. This might be where I can give advice..

    My first question to you is: What is your exercise outlet?
    Next question: Is it easily accessible?
    For me, I scrutinized those questions and started putting my sneakers on right when I got up in the morning, that simple act allowed me to immediately respond right when I thought of exercising, and it made it more difficult to talk myself out of it. “Why would I not, I’m all ready!!” I got in the habit of doing it every day(very small amounts at first, like 5 minutes tops!!) It became my identity though, I became someone who worked out every day.

    So, when things settle for you I would suggest you to do a little self-assessment and figure out your answers to those questions…

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes - under
    Exercise: Yes - 40 min walk, + 3 games of bowling (make/up games), 13,005 steps!
    Goals/Day/Comments: I am tired today, hoping that I can sleep in a bit tomorrow! Lately I have really dreaded getting on the scale monster... but kinda looking forward to my weigh-in day tomorrow. I have really been sticking to the plan this week, hoping for a loss.

    Bowling again tonight, which usually means a couple of adult beverages and fried junk... then after getting home another pour and more junk. Then I pay the price when I step on the scale the next morning, it has been ugly lately. Not this time though, I am coming prepared and with a plan! I am bringing cut-up veggies / light ranch, & grapes to share with the team, so I won't be tempted to go to the snack bar. I am also going to limit myself to 1 glass of wine or a light beer, club soda with lemon and plain water! I will also keep it clean when I get home. Keeping in my mind, that I want to see a loss on the scale in the morning. I will check back in with you all tomorrow. o:)

    I hope that you all have a wonderful weekend! Happy Easter and Passover to all who are celebrating!

    Comments: It seems my energy lately has been ebbing and flowing. For the last two days, it's been ebbing - maybe it'll start flowing again tomorrow.
