    Slept in again woke up with a sinus headache. Did 2 miles and now off to work switched outfits too. Yesterday was so busy so today I am wearing slacks and not a dress. I'm in drive thru they can only see the top part of me anyway. ;) Til later!

    Welcome back @aeshippers. I missed your intensity and commitment!
    I am off to a good start. An excellent high protein breakfast (cottage cheese rules).

    I was told not to do any physical activity tomorrow for my test this thursday but I'll be sure to keep my calories under and track.

    @SimonsChange. Let me second that. No Wednesday workout. Make it a pass day and even go slightly over on calories (make sure you hit protein goal, but lighter on the fats). Fuel the body so it's ready for Thursday.

    (Like a pro boxer chowing down on pasta after the pre-fight weigh-in. Carbo loading).

    On Thursday only light meals or snacks (if at all) before the test. Do not want to be digesting food while testing. Pre-test eating should be protein with carbohydrate (and minimal fats) - faster to digest and therefore provides quicker energy. Fine to do test fasted if you are adequately fuelled from the day before (and do feel the need to eat).

    This is trying to get optimum performance, not weight loss (or management). Different goals, different rules.

    Best of luck.

    Calories: I was unusually low on calories today. I actually forgot that I had not eaten any lunch until I got the hypoglycemic nausea about 3:30 pm. Then I ate a Kind bar.
    Exercise: 15 minutes preparation for movement stretches and then 45 minutes of cardio/strength intervals. Jump rope cycles between pushup intervals.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, but only just. After staying in boarding for a night, the dogs did not fare well and didn’t want to walk their usual 3 miles. We walked 2 miles and I worked, which sometimes feels like a workout.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. I am very happy with my food choices and calories today

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
