Okay, so I’m walking in the desert and since this spring has been a drought, there are not an abundance of cactus flowers. I decided to take a picture of this one. After several angles, I decided that the best view was at ant height. I laid down on the ground and took several shots. I like what I see but I got off the ground a bit bloody. It’s mighty thorny and spiny down there on the ground.3 -

Fantastic photo, Rick. You inspire us all to be OUTDOORS! Hope your back is feeling better if you are down there on the ground. Not always easy getting up and down.
Light snow here, yet again, this morning.2 -
So grateful for the desert flowers as my snow did not melt yesterday and there is more today.5

@trimi1104 wow well done!
@RangerRickL youch!
Exercise: yes
Tracking: no
Calories: a bad day for eating! There was very little hunger eating. There was stress, boredom, impulse, pleasing others, sad, confusing thirst for hunger, and mindless eating. Lots of deadlines coming up, lots of change at home, lots of worries. Tomorrow is a new day and a Monday no less. A day yo yo dieters love to get back on track. I don't want to yo yo. That was my feeling sorry for myself stream of consciousness.5 -
@trimi1104 well done! 1st place - wow.
@am_change I love your list of all the kinds of eating. Those days are annoying but a good rant is helpful -- back in the saddle tomorrow.
A good day yes x 3. TRX etc. workout and well under calories even with a small treat.3 -
I should do this....I can be a procrastinator when it comes to exercise.

Calories: Yes.

My report:
Calories: under enough for maintenance but not enough for weight loss
Tracking: ok
Exercise: easy day walking in the neighborhood2 -
April 7 & 8 Yes to exercise and tracking, but slightly over on calories, so Pass days.
I am trying a new regime for a while to see if it suits me, so am working towards keeping within a weekly calorie goal. This will allow me a bit of flexibility for lunch out, drinks with friends etc., while keeping in overall balance. Obviously this approach is not consistent with being in the Winner's Circle ( and I'm out this month anyway), but will keep checking in if that's OK. I will review in a month and see how this is working.
