Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Y (walked doggie for 45min and boy is it cold outside)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Y (1200=1500, ate 1236 calories today)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Y logged all, drank 8-8oz glasses of water.
I will do step 4 (encourage others), I am very busy and don't have time to read all the posts, I wish I did, I do read some, and have commented a little. The other night I went through and comment a lot, but then my computer crashed and I lost all the comments and time it took to replay to all.
Again today, I have been super busy and really don't have time to read all posts. I hit and missed them. (so sorry),
So I will encourage everyone. You all are doing a fantastic job. Even if you didn't quite hit your goals for today, don't look at it as failure, but as a leaning lesson. It is those failures that make us understand what we need to change to do a better job tomorrow. I know we all will give it our best shot again tomorrow and I know all of you can and will be able to hit your goals. I believe in you all. I KNOW you can do it!!!!2 -
@trixsey1 totally know how unplanned days go! I had several work projects last weekend and was flying by the seat of my pants!
@sniksniks in my jam packed days I have an insulated lunch box with lots of healthy snacks that I can eat quickly. I do eat while I drive all the time (not sure I should admit that). On those days I usually know I will have an unplanned meal that’s higher in calories so I try to save at least a third of my calories for it and make wise choices when I can.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Walked 15k steps. Tried to run but my knees were sore, so I stopped and walked. One thing I have learned in my old age is if it hurts just stop, injury is much worse than taking it easy for a day or two.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Yes.

This is pass day number two for me.
Exercise-just standing up ringing handbells, chimes and using mallets for an hour again and tonight we moved our tables into the sanctuary
Tracking-yes, gotta add that small snickers bar someone gave me this morning, but it won't put me over

Every night, I hope I encourage everyone by pressing one of the buttons...inspiring, like, woo, etc. I try to select one for everybody.
Wednesday's are busy days for me and I might need to join the early risers next week to get my exercise in. Off to add my Snickers!4 -
