January 9, 2019:
EXERCISE: Yes. 35 minute walk on my lunch break, plus doing the laundry included a lot of walking to and from the laundromat and a small amount of lifting. Garmin watch says 577 active calories today (MFP calls it 495 from the sync) so that's quite a bit for not having a really focused workout today.
CALORIES: Yes. 2020 target; 2082 (134g protein) consumed - 495 burned = 1587 net.
TRACKED: Yes. I got a new food scale for my desk at work and measured everything. Turns out, I use even less coffee creamer than I had been guessing!5 -

Nothing better than a scale. I've always been tempted to buy one for traveling...but then thought it might be overkill to be weighing and measuring everything on a cruise! I, religiously, use one at home everyday, though.

Yes x3. Tried out some new recipes with lentils today. Even managed to sneak them into the broccoli cauliflower soup I made for supper. The kids and hubby were oblivious.
Did upper body supersets and my arms were jello afterwards. So glad to be a part of this group of winners!5 -

Jan. 9
Exercise: 2.5 hours of coaching ( hitting ground balls, fly balls etc.)
Calories: Yes. I normally use net calories for goal. My calories off my Garmin still wont upload to the site because of tech issues from MFP (still has me at 451 steps all day when my watch had me at over 7000). But my gross calories were under my net calorie goal, so I'm going to call this a yes.
Tracked: Yes.2 -
Exercise: Yes, 60 min circuit/strength training lower body focus. Then had a 60 min walk/zombie jog with my daughter.
Calories: Yes, right on
Tracking: Yes
What is a zombie 🧟♀️ jog? Maybe I missed it earlier but I’m picturing you two acting like zombies, moaning about brains and dragging your feet as you jog.

Hello to all you winners!!
Yes x 3
I was still a little sore from all that skiing yesterday but got in upper body weights and core for about 40 min and then moderate bike for 30 min. Felt good.
I walk a fine line between measuring my food to count the calories/nutrients, and not being too obsessive about it. I don’t have a food scale but I do measure (well, usually). I don’t eat meat, but can see where a scale would would be particularly important for that. Does anyone think a scale is better than measuring spoons and cups for other things?

I’m a big fan of using my scale for just about everything even my veggies (I track carbs). The only things I don’t use the scale for are things like salad dressing, sour cream or mayo or powdery things like finely grated Parmesan, spices or cocoa powder. Those get measured by the spoons or cups.
We actually have 2 scales in the kitchen and a large collection of measuring tools. It took some time to adjust but it’s 2nd nature now for both of us to measure everything. I also now have a very good sense of exactly what an ounce of most things I eat looks like, I feel like I can track pretty accurate away from home because I weigh everything at home.3
