Lol @RangerRickL that's thoughtful.
Back on track today thank goodness. anyone got any tips on stress eating at work? It's definitely an healing area that needs work for me.
I tracked all my food, stayed within my calories and went walkies on the treadmill. The weather is pretty wintery here and dark early. I like it though, it's snuggly.
Have a great day all

Yes x 3 for the 13th
Got my miles in super early today as I am one of the starters. Yesterday was slow but we had a lot of flooding the road in front of the bank looked like a river. Only good thing was my sister got to deal with my mom and dad s flooding basement.
She said what would you have done she goes I would have called your sister and she would have come. As most of the roads were flooded it would have taken me a long time to get there. I am glad I didn't have to. 6 -
July 14
Exercised?: Yes. Walked 3 Km in 25 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Rest is REALLY important (in fact about to get some sleep )
@Slimpossible007. Sounds like you got the formula just right. (keep it fun)
@trixsey1. Good luck with the 5K run Saturday.
@conchita962. Thank you for the insights into balance and being in the moment. So relevant.
@MyersCrystal. Posted the info on metabolic damage and metabolic adaption in yesterdays thread. Thanks for the question.
@pears734. Keeping it fun and sensible habits are the keys. As you highlighted, you cannot consistently do what you do not enjoy.
@PaisleyFlower. Vending machines are not your friend (and never hold answers). Bring your own snacks to "stress eat" if you need them. I've read whole almonds dusted with cayenne pepper are supposed to be good (protein + aid for digestion). I fidget with a rubik's cube to lower tension.

I thought today would be a pass day for sure, but I managed in the end.
Late last night while packing for a weekend away I had a bad collapse and caught the corner of the coffee table on the way down. Pretty nasty concussion, so today didn't start until midday. Comfort food, but managed to stay in my calories, just. And despite taking it very easy, went for a 20 minute gentle walk around the block. Blergh. Spoonie life.6 -
July 14th
Exercised?: Yes
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Had my usual daily jog 35mins and 30 mins on the cross trainer at a steady pace.
Also did 20 mins of beginner strength training exercises (with weights) and had a nice steady walk with the woofies for 60mins.
The burn this morning worked out at 731 but with the afternoon walk on top its worked out at just over 1000 calories, but this seems excessive since I haven't worked as hard today - I know the MFP is not an exact science, just an estimation, so it's probably less than this.
I've tracked everything and within my limit but used some of my exercise calories today so it makes it 1374 in total today.
@craigo3154 - thanks, I'm really looking forward to the 5K run tomorrow.5 -
I am going to drop this challenge for now as I do not have the energy to exercise. Thank you all for your kind support. I will see you in August.8

I did my 30+ minutes of walking in the woods followed by 90 minutes of lifting at the gym! (But that includes breaks and putting things away etc.)7 -
Aaaaaaah! Holidays -so nice but pass day #4 for me! Good all day then wine and cheese (in Scotland!!!!!) got the better of me.
BUT Maybe better tomorrow...? In any case I'm thinking of you all - it's a bit like bringing friends on holiday -lovely!
@RangerRickL thought of you today as my kids went on a wood craft day with a ranger. They had a great time ,4 -
Oops -pass day #33

@craigo3154 Thank you for the links and insight. I will enjoy perusing the web pages tomorrow.
@Gus130 You definitely have support and friends here. Take care of yourself. We'll all be here cheering for you until you return. A big giant hug going out to you from Oklahoma!
Well, I'm enjoying the challenge of planning meals ahead and keeping my carbs to 45 grams per meal. However, I really blew it for dinner. Had two slices of thin New York style pizza from a little specialty place downtown tonight with hubby. It was delicious, but it put me over my goal by 45 kcals. To top that off I didn't deliberately exercise today...no walk...nada.
July 14---pass #2
Have a great night all!3 -
July 14:
Exercise?: 95 minutes of walking in total today, including a long walk at lunch.
Plank?: Yes. 14 for 14 on that.
Calories?: Yes, with 208 to spare.
Tracked?: Yes, even the glazed donut I shouldn't have had this morning.
Back on track and hoping for a strong weekend. Have a great one, everybody!5 -
Exercise: Yes.
Calories: Yes, even though we ate at Cracker Barrel for dinner, I was very careful with my food choices and separating out food to take home with me. I still had to dip into my exercise calories a little bit, but not by much.
Tracked: Yes.
Rest (particularly sleep) is one of those things I struggle to get enough of. It's so hard to go to bed when there are so many other things distracting me (I know, first world problems). Problem is, as hard as it is to go to bed, if I go too late, it's even harder to get out of bed!4 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes..relaxing 30 minute walk, rest day.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes5 -
July 14: yes x 3,
nothing exciting to report exercise wise just my standard.
did have to use exercise calories today to be under my goal and I'm ok with that. ☺ have only had to use exercise calories twice this month so I think that's good. we celebrated birthdays today at work and the cupcakes from the local bakery looked too good to pass up!! i don't like/eat frosting so i just ate the cake part...it was good but not worth the calories! I should know better...lol! anyway tomorrow is another day6 -
July 14
Yes x3
Worn out from weightlifting yesterday, so slacker today, but got in 20 minutes of dog walking, and lots of running around cleaning.4 -
Tracking can trump temptation: tonight I was at a concert. Late in the evening, although I was not hungry, the ice cream sundae vendor's allure was calling out to me like the Sirens to Ulysses. I stopped and decided to look at MFP on my phone. Nope! Not enough calories of margin, so I did not buy.
Calories: under by a bit
Exercise: Farm activity and outdoors walking8 -
Yes x3. SL 5x5. Cut it close with calories - it was my baby girl's 4th birthday and I couldn't resist a cupcake.5
-
Hope everyone had a good Friday and is looking forward to a GREAT weekend!
Another successful day! My girlfriend and I went to our local farm for fresh produce and then she took me out for lunch. It was very nice to get out and spend some "girl". I love my husband dearly, we are both very independent people though and after being together 24/7 under not the best of circumstances we both need some alone time to do exactly what we WANT not what we need...lol......I got to go to the pool yesterday and out to lunch today woohoo yay me! This afternoon when I got home I was exhausted though and I had to lay down for a nap. I am now 4 weeks past surgery, doing good but a ways to go yet. I was reminded today they said recovery would be 4 months not 4 weeks...lol
Today's results
exercise yes
calories yes (even with going for lunch)
tracking yes
Good Night everyone!

Late check in for yesterday. Can't offer you much help @PaisleyFlower as I gave in to the stress eating yesterday so pass day#2.5
-
I am taking a pass #2 day gladly. I went to one of my best friends house for dinner. My calories for dinner were fine but I had one glass of red wine and dessert so that put me over my calories. Happy day today!5
