2/20/2024 - day 74
Traveled back to NY
Due to not being very hungry at all I am way under on calories. I’m sure I’ll make up it for it tomorrow

2/21/2024 - day 75. Gave my feet a rest today and did a lot of manual woodworking. Spent 2 hours cutting and planing some ash beams for my new workbench. I had tried milling some earlier pieces with the machines I have but the dust cleanup , noise and potential hazard outweighed the workout and extra time it takes doing it by hand. Besides I’m not in a rush. When accounting for this exercise my general fitness goals were met for the day.

Took a break and unplugged today. Tomorrow driving up to Brockport to see my older son compete it’s about 7 hours each way. Calories and exercise were fair, ended the day at maintenance.

Travel day - 7 hour ride upstate. Unfortunately I’m over goal and maintenance today, but not by an obscene amount. Still staying clear of very poor food choices. I expect tomorrow to be the same as it will be a 7 hour ride back…

You can do this! There is no better time to focus on YOU!!

2/24/2024 - day 78 - unfortunately a very poor day food wise. Probably the worst since I started in terms of sweets. The travel , some stress with my older guy, along with several hours in the car thinking of my younger guy most likely being so far way … the break from my healthy routines… if all got to me. I understand these kind of days happen from time to time… the key is to make sure it happens very infrequently.

2/25/2024 day 79 - spent my last day doing laundry, some woodworking and then dinner and a play with my parents. Ate over goal but about at maintenance. Was worth it, had a good time. Ready to get back to work tomorrow…

Another good, on target day.
If all continues like this I might be able to retire those suits with 38 inch pants I recently purchased in a few weeks. One pair of pants is already getting a little too loose. 😀

Congratulations! It's been obvious that you've been on a good path, but that underscores it, doesn't it?

Good show!

3/3/2024 - day 86… off day …. are over maintenance, felt unsatisfied the entire day like I could eat 5000 calories and a gallon of ice cream and it wouldn’t fill the hole…
Tomorrow is a new day and a new week.

3/10/2024 - day 93. Both of my sons home - did some woodworking, spent some time with my folks.Came home then had a nice family game night - we broke out the poker chips and enjoyed some Texas style hold-em. Been over 15 years since I broke out those poker chips.. Felt really nice… are a bit above goal but totally worth it.

54ShadesOfBlue · March 12

3/11/2024 day 94 - Ate above maintenance today- I suspect it will be be this way for the entire week my older son is here. It significantly changes the dynamics of the house.

mikeyrowlands · March 12
