    Exercised- Yes, Zumba class
    Calories- Yes
    Tracked- Yes

    @BMcC9 Thanks for your reply. Yes! Going to houses makes it hard to track. I avoid the pre meal snacking but the buffet lunch that everyone contributed to and you take bits from everywhere makes it well tricky. With a big family, this comes up regularly.

    @TeresaW1020 That can happen! Halloween candy has a lot to answer for. Be kind to yourself though and thank you for posting it. It helps us help each other to see and feel comfortable about sharing honest experiences. Situations like that is why we are in this group in the first place. 🌻

    Today was a beautiful one here and really energized me. Thanks to 160 minutes of exercise (horses and rowing machine), I was well under allowed calories. Tracked everything. Good day!

    Exercise? Yes, 55 minute walk in village on a dreary, overcast day. I've decided not to log the exercise in my exercise diary. It just gives me an excuse to consume those extra exercise calories I earned. I don't have a regimented heavy exercise routine, so my body won't miss those few extra calories.
    Calories? Within allowance.
    Tracked? Yes, all food consumed is logged.

    Yes x 3, prelogging dinner for the day

    My Halloween trick is that we can only buy candy that I dont like to distribute to kids. That way I'm not tempted with any leftovers. That doesn't help at work, or in public though!

    I have a new personal trainer at 6:00 a.m. on Monday mornings. Her name is Chrissy and she is a competitive bodybuilder. I told her that she and I are just the opposite. I only exercise because I want to be fit for life...my life. Today was my second Monday with her, so she was not so cautious about whether I was going to have a heart attack on her watch.
    Exercise: 57 minutes of cardio/strength
    Tracking: ok
    Calories: under by 400 cal.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
    Yes. Track workout in the morning

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
    Yes by a couple hundred calories

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

    I want to finish the month strong and one way I’m going to try is to up my steps for this week. I usually average about 11k a day but this week I’m going to try to log over 100,000. That’ll take upping it by over 3k some days. I’ll let you know how it goes.
    Day 1/7 16367 steps/100k goal
