May 3: ✅✅❌ (slightly more than 10,000 steps on the day - despite a grey and rainy day - all food logged, but only just over cals despite a wopping 6 extra fitbit activity calories earned)
Monthly total:
✅✅ ❌5 -
What a beautiful morning!
Exercise - ✅ 12,000+ steps, 6.5 miles. Treadmill after work, outdoor walk after dinner, and a round of weights.
Logging - ✅ I’m always surprised at the calories in wine - it’s so water-like, isn’t it?
Calories - ✅ with just 12 to spare. I usually allow myself to use my exercise points. I’ve been pretty successful so far with them. But I’m in my last 10 pounds to my new goal, and kinda stuck. So I may change my thinking on that for a while.
Still 1/3 Pass Day for that box of butter cookies on Sunday.
Bonus - the cookie pound is gone this morning.4 -

My husband always takes him for his final walk around midnight and will be able to do that just as we get home. First time trying out this arrangement. 🤞🏻 @Winner_in_Life
Thanks Ashley! We are very proud of her. 🥰 @ashleycarole86
It's a pity. He would fit perfectly 😊2 -

Really tough day for me yesterday... caught a nasty stomach virus that my toddler had over the weekend. I logged my food (2 crackers and a half a cup of chicken noodle soup
). But no chance in exercising.
Feeling MUCH better today and am hopeful to be able to keep up with the challenge!!

Daily Check-In Date:
Did I track everything? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie range of 1300 -1611? Yes calories were 1375
If calories were over for the day, was the difference walked off before bed?
How many miles on Treadmill today? 1.41 miles
Treadmill Days are Mon thru Fri and Sat & Sun Off
Active for 20 minutes on Sat & Sun
Progression of weekly 1.5-to-2-pound lost goal: 2.2
Did I drink my daily water goal? No - 4 out of 7 bottles
Pass Day Count: 0/3
Last Month Pass Day Count: Skipped April so that would be 30
May Goals: After the emoji is the progress on each goal.
Track calories immediately after each meal 💙 I set the notifications up for this in the app so once the habit is built up again I will remove this from my goal list.
Cook at home - eat out twice a month 💙 Aiming for 2 Fridays out of the month
Use my food scale to measure everything. 💙 Started making my dinner plate last night without measuring so I put everything back and then measured. Just need to build up the habit again.
Use my ramekins for measuring individual servings to learn and control correct portion sizes for me and my son. 💙 I am in the habit of not cooking leftovers so I am still working on this one
Learn there are no "good" and "bad" foods and I am not on a diet anymore 💙 I have this drilled deep in my brain so this will take a while to unlearn - all food is ok if it is within my calorie range
No more starting and stopping because I am not on a diet anymore. 💙 No more diets. Period.
Learn how to have a healthy lifestyle that is sustainable for the rest of my life 💙 Track, Food Scale and Portion Control, Exercise, and well-balanced meals. Not-so-healthy foods are ok once in a while.
Fine-tune meals to get within calorie range 💙 Breakfast is planned out. Lunch is next. Dinner will be open for whatever using the remaining calories.
Learn that going over calorie range for a meal or a day is not a "failed diet for the month". 💙 This is a new one for me and I think a mental game-changer once I fully grasp this concept.
If calories are over for that day, need to walk them off before bed. 💙 This is new as well. I am trying to replace my "diet mindset" with a "healthy weight management mindset". It is not the end of the world if I go over my calories for a meal because I can walk off the extra calories before bed.
Use fewer pass days in May than I did in April
Get back on my treadmill
<End of Check-In Post>
Yesterday I got a late start on my day. The past few days I have been on MFP alot reading articles, posting, and working out my calorie setup in MFP. So yesterday my mind was telling me I don't have time to get on the treadmill today because I have alot to do on my to-do list, and I should try again for tomorrow. Of course, this was the same convo on Monday, which resulted with no treadmill on Monday. I am proud of myself because I forced myself to get on the treadmill yesterday knowing I have a lot to do which all of it didn't get completed. So on today's page in my planner, I am finishing up yesterday's to-do as well. Changing my habits and rearranging my schedule to allow for treadmill time is something I must do. My health and health goals are important to me. Of course, I am running behind again this morning - I think the solution is going to be just getting up earlier - but I will get on the treadmill today because I need to develop this habit in my routine.
@Caroline_slowandsteady You are doing a great job!
Ok, off to the treadmill 1 down and 3 more to go!! Hope everyone has a good Wednesday!3 -

Gardened and planted tomatoes and Japanese egg plant. Marigolds were also planted to keep the bugs off. Discovered that my garden is full of ants so the sevens dust came out big time. Hoping the ants leave and my veggies grow well.
Love eggplant fried with parmesan. 2 -
