    Here is my check in for today.

    YES.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
    YES.

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    No feeling well after my pass day yesterday. Ate Italian and had way too many carbs. Lesson learned. Back on track now

    Exercise: yes, I did a long bike ride, then circuit training, and finished off with a few hours of heavy yard work/ fall clean up, planting tulips and lilies, and moving plants. It was invigorating.

    Calories: yes, under goal

    Tracking: yes, everything

    My NSV for this week? I put together an outfit for a holiday party and I love how if looks, now that I've toned up

    @dejavuohlala, I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult today must have been for you. Sending a big hug your way and prayers for peace.

    We ended up having an unexpected guest today so I made a pot of soup and some corn bread and stuck to my calories. It helped that I made it to the gym this morning so I had a little leeway.

    Exercise: Yes, 15 min calisthenics warm-up, 20 min StairMaster and 60 min strength training
    Calories: Yes, about 340 under today
    Tracking: Yes

    Pass day 2 and 3 for Saturday and Sunday. On a get away weekend with a bus load of friends exploring the Niagara on the lake vineyards. No tracking and ate and drank outside my normal habits. Yesterday got a 2.5 mile walk in. Today nothing.

    3 yeses for me today, by the skin of my teeth!

    I did a new workout this morning that was only 10 minutes, so I did another 30 minutes of pilates. I had an engagement session to photograph in the drizzly cold with a load to carry about 2.5 miles. I went to Starbucks to get some sweet warmth. Didn't go over though!

    @dejavuohlala my heart goes out to you. Many virtual hugs.

    It’s 8:30 p.m. in Turrialba, Cartago, Costa Rica. If you check this place out on Google Earth, you might see me waving hello to you.
    As I started reading today’s posts, the room, floor and furniture began to shake. The force intensified so I moved into a door frame. This earthquake did not last more than 30 seconds and it has been followed by one after shock. I was just told it was a 6.7 Richter scale quake. No damage from my position.
    That was a UAC first, for me anyway.
    Today’s less extraordinary report:
    Calories: I did great! I’m really happy that I did so well during a travel day
    Tracking: ok
    Exercise: lots of walking while hauling suitcases behind me. Maybe I get a couple of strength points for lifting my suitcases and my wife’s x many times

    Exercised?: Yes. Walked 1 hour and 20 minutes.
    Calories?: Yes. Thanks to exercise calories, which I rarely use.
    Tracked?: Yes.

    NSV: I logged all my meals this past week (technically, since the challenge started), and I hadn't done that in ages. I feel good about that, but now I know I need to slash my carbs in half. :'(

    @dejavuohlala Sending prayers your way.

    @snowprincess502 I totally understand about the carbs. Whenever I overdo it on carbs, I feel like crap too. I wish I didn't love them so. :D The important thing is that the lesson has been learned.

    Nov. 10, I did everything except exercise.
    Nov. 11 I went over on my calories.
    Today I haven't tracked everything.

    I hope to get back on track.

    @dejavuohlala,

    My post was cut in half. Sorry.

    I wanted to express to you that you're in my thoughts. I cannot even begin to fathom the degree of pain that comes with losing your child.

    Take care of yourself and treasure your daughter's memory.
