UUUmmmmmmm .... a late-delivery Christmas present arrived for me today - a BOOK (that I have never read before - a rarity in this house - by a most favorite classic author ) .... so the ante just went up on the "So far, so good .... so long as I don't crack a book " part 5 -
exercise - yes afternoon walk

Exercise- Yes, 75 minute yoga class
Calories- Yes, under by 47 and I ate like a hungry beast all day, made good choices. I am ravenous today after 2 super low appetite days I would normally not worry and eat a few extra but I’m sticking to the challenge. It’s a recovery day so I don’t want to add another workout. Lol it’s ok that I’ll go to bed early to stop myself from eating more.
Tracking- Yes, everything weighed, measured and logged.7 -

Ooops Just realized I forgot to track something. Adding that in I am over calories so pass #1.6 -
Yes x 3 today.
I do agree with CICO but I also agree that not all calories are the same. I once knew a girl that lived on gin and candy bars. She was very thin but incredibly unhealthy. I am on WW but totally believe in CICO because even though a food is zero points doesn't mean that it doesn't have calories. I know lots of people who have really struggled over that simple little fact. I try to eat as healthy as I can with a high emphasis on protein, veggies, complex carbs, and some fruit. Of course, there is always room for wine and chocolate.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes .. Cardio and full body
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
I am big on CICO..Quality calories and Macros. For me it makes a difference in my success.
Interesting thing happened at dinner tonight. A friend tried to convince me to go to an all you can eat buffet and said I looked good, that I didn't need to stick to my calorie budget today. He said I was crazy to have the kind of goals I have. I had to remember that if someone is calling me crazy then I know I'm living up to my full potential! I did not go to the buffet.12 -
Exercise: 50 mins HIIT/strength with Leslie Sansone video, 20 mins yoga + 60 mins walking after dinner. 11237 steps
Under Calories: By a long margin. Lol!
Tracked: Yes
I practice CICO, but also appreciate the benefits of balancing macros, choosing 'quality' food for the majority of my intake, and adequate hydration.6 -

January 4, 2019:
EXERCISE: Yes. 3 mile run in 27 minutes. Getting faster at the same heart rate as my fitness improves. It feels good to be getting back to normal. Plus about 5 miles of total walking today.
CALORIES: Yes. 2020 target; 2353 consumed - 571 burned = 1782 net.
TRACKED: Yes. Even turned down a free cookie at lunch. But, post run, ate a lot of carbs at dinner and so I'm not too happy about that.
Which brings me to the question of CICO. I'm a firm believer in CICO, but I find that I'm at my healthiest when I consistently both stay under on calories AND hit my protein target. So, today I was still under my calories, but not in a quality way. But I think that's okay on a Friday night.
