March 24 - Day 22/75
❌ Food - Went a bit off track. I missed lunch to go riding with a friend, then dove onto a sandwich and then our power went out, so it was weird supper too. And nuts, seeds, dried fruit a bit too much. Hmmph.
✅ No alcohol no problem
❌✅ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. Slacked on the strength, but a day of rest for the muscles was not a bad idea. Cardio was intense again - snow! Snowshoeing and riding my crazy horse through the deep stuff. He loved it.
✅ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. Odd rabbit holes. Nothing fruitful, but eliminated some things from consideration.
✅ Water - OK
✅ Thoughts - Finally some good winter conditions! Sadly, they won't last...0 -

March 25 - Day 23/75
❌ Food - Went a bit off track again. Missed lunch again, and then picked up something that was not within my plan. Not terrible, but not within plan.
✅ No alcohol no problem
✅ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. Pilates, 10 miles on the exercise bike, down and up my crazy hill in the snow.
✅ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. Articles to get program notes for my April concert going - not diet or exercise-related, but important! And I got my practicing done.
✅ Water - OK
✅ Thoughts - I discussed my next project with another human being today. It was a scrambled bunch of ideas, but it felt great to lay it out and hear some input from someone else.0 -
Day 2️⃣3️⃣ of 7️⃣5️⃣
✅ Exercise: 60 min walk, 30 min resistance training

✅ Water: Gallon
✅ Food: pre-logged yesterday for today and actually stuck to it which is rare for me. I usually stray because my tastebuds want other things the next day. Will continue trying to pre log until it becomes habit.
✅Added Sugar: usual salad dressing today. Unsure why I feel the need to finish all the store bottles first. May try to make a batch of homemade this weekend. Also trying to ration the dried fruits in the pantry that have added sugar so I don’t have a big sugar rush. Today was dried sweetened hibiscus flower 🌺1 -

Definitely falling off the track here. Still sick and not feeling well. Eating is ok, but not perfect. Still not exercising. Hoping I feel better soon and can get back on track.
You need to get well first! Don't worry - keep checking in from time to time, and then get back on plan when you feel better.

March 26 - Day 24/75
✅ Food - Good today! Had a good lunch which makes getting through the rest of the day easier.
✅ No alcohol no problem
✅ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. A wonderful and very vigorous horseback ride out in the snow - probably the last chance to ride in some good snow for this winter. Then a session with my trainer, just getting intro to my new program, but I'll let that count
And finally a walk up my half-mile hill carrying a backpack, two shopping bags and a box - a heavy load! But I made it.
✅ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. Will do so before sleeping tonight.
✅ Water - OK
✅ Thoughts - I enjoyed all the exercise today, even carrying all that stuff from the car to the house. It feels wonderful to be 70 years old and full of energy, able to do the things I want and love to do. I am so grateful to have done good physical upkeep, and to have a body that seems to want to keep going strong.

It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that I l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.
