    12/23/23 - day 15: over goal but under maintenance, due to a ‘date night’ dinner.
    Felt more motivated to do things in general. Cleaned up my shop, and took the first steps in building a new workbench.
    I always feel better when starting a new project..

    12/26/2023 - day 18- back on track, food came on on goal. Feeling a that small post Xmas letdown. Have another travel car trip tomorrow to see more family and then new years, so one more week of ‘celebrating’ then things should get much easier logging and exercise wise.

    You're doing a smart thing, knowing your maintenance number. As you know, anything under maintenance (even if over goal) is still an expected fat loss. Once you have 4-6 weeks of experience data (calorie intake, weight lost), you'll know whether the maintenance calorie estimate is valid for you or not, and can adjust if necessary.

    You're doing well so far, IMO. Keep up the goodness!

    Day travel day - kept to my plan in spite of 6 hours in the car. Just two more holiday challenges left before an extended calm period. I have a strong sense of optimism that this new year will be a very good one in meeting my health goals.

    Ate above goal but below maintenance - I gave myself a little slack as I turned 54 today.

    Day 23 - New Year’s Eve - my last over maintenance for a while…. I know the holidays haven’t been perfect, but better than if uncontrolled.

    Day 24 -
    Weighed in -209 lbs no change from last week. Also measured my waist. 44 inches…
    Not so bad considering the remainder of travel and celebrations.
    Food was below goal. Got some physical activity in my shop as well.

    1/2/24 - Day 25. A very good day. Food was under control. Well under goal.
    Went to the gym and took one of those boot camp workout classes.
    It was a little humbling, but fun and challenging.

    First day back in the office after my vacation and I really feel mentally strong, confident, in control and optimistic!

    So…so far so good for 2024….

    1/3/24 - another strong day. Hit my calorie goals. A bit sore from the exercise class last night - I may just relax for the rest of the evening.
