@bisonpitcher Some on this forum have alluded to the fact luck has nothing to do with our daily outcome, but rather a conscious awareness and diligence/perseverance is what determines our success or lack thereof. Your approach for exercise at the hotel is commendable. Like you, though, travel seems to always interrupt my tracking and better food choices. I always miss the mark when traveling...and sometimes several months in a row, but I also always have UAC to "come home" to. So glad you are with us on this journey. Instead of luck, I will add my best wishes for your work travel days.1

Exercised - for sure, a ton!
Tracked everything - yes, I have learned that what gets measured gets accomplished & desired changes can happen
Stayed within/below my calorie goal? Yes!
Was a good day.
Excellent point! I prelog my food for the day each morning for just this reason. Occasionally, I have to go back and make modifications, but not often.

@bisonpitcher Good luck on your trip. I have one coming iup in 10 days a ND it will be a challenge ... although, fortunately, I think I will have a bit more control than you. Consider making good choices a victory, even if a day doesn't fall within your plan!2

Not a good start to the year but tomorrow is a new day. I Just have to be focused and determined. Everything in moderation!
I can see from your "Posts: 5" number that you are very new to MFP in general. Be sure to read the helpful detailed information that @RangerRickL will be posting at the top of each daily thread. You are still in the "learning to log / report" phase, so don't be concerned ... just keep at it.
And (just a thought), maybe include a self-encouraging rider about "no - but missed it closer today" to help yourself feel you ARE making progress in these early habit-forming days.
Hint: "20 minutes of exercise" can include NEAT activities like "dancing around to the radio" or "made extra trips to and from the car bringing in one bag of groceries at a time" . The 20 minutes doesn't HAVE to be all together. Doesn't HAVE to be "20 minutes formal exercise".2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 50 minutes on my mini-trampoline
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
As mentioned in the "What's on your mind?" thread, I took a base-line Body Fat % reading today .... watch for more variation in my "type of exercise" reporting starting Jan 3 ....
