    Exercised?: Yes!! Walked my kitten Buffy for 25 minutes, burned 126 cal [iWatch, UA Record]
    Calories?: Yes [MFP] 1391/1400 cal
    Tracked?: Yes [MFP]

    (Out of March Winner’s Circle, dealing with shingles, still tracking away!)

    I took Buffy outside for her first leash walk. I’ve been working with her inside for awhile! She did great.

    Oh my, that brings back memories. I had 2 cats I walked on a leash. Well, technically, one cat. The other one was more like a drag from one point to the next ... any time you would try to walk, she would lay down.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Leg Day! 60 minutes of lower body strength this morning; 1.5 mile treadmill walk after work.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!

    @strongscarlet That is so awesome! And Buffy is adorable. My first cat Sarah (she passed a few years ago) loved to be taken out on the harness for walks. It's amazing how some cats absolutely love it, and some cannot stand it. LOL

    @ScarletBegonias27 Good for you getting it done old school!

    @Kwinnero I hope you enjoyed your day no matter if you took a Pass Day or not. Like the wise @BMcC9 and @jan110144 said, taking a Pass Day isn't a failure. I've learned that after my first month, and I just try to use them wisely. And honestly, having UAC does make me take a moment to ask do I really need that before I put it in my mouth. You'll do great no matter what happens this one day!

    Redeemed myself after yesterday ... too bad I can't retro-apply some of the exercise time ... :D

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Actually ordered and started the Dynamic Dance-based core work .... once I get past the short instructional sections and into the 30 sets, it's gonna really make itself felt! ~10 of that plus 1hr 14 minute jogging on mini-trampoline.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, and well over

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!

    Exercise walked for 45 minutes
    Calories yes used 9 calories of my exercise calories. I know they say you should eat back your exercise calories but I would be stuffed.
    Tracked yes

    Yes all 3.
    Banana pancakes for pancake day. First time I made them. Not bad. But how do you stop them sticking and not having so dark.

    I can’t figure out why. I’m happy, making art & seeing fruends. I think it may simply be that my body does not handle sugar well. It begins small & then I find myself eating fewer fruits/veg & more & more sugary items. .

    This is definitely true for me. I can eat lots of sugar via fruits, but eat refined sugar puts me on a very bad path. The only good thing now is that I know to get right back on plan and call on discipline for a couple of days. After that, everything falls back in place. The good news is that eating fruit seems to curb other sugar cravings

    @astroamy Here is a link to the Angkor Wat virtual run, if you are interested. I enjoyed it. You can use a treadmill, elliptical...or just exercise as you watch to fulfill the UAC exercise requirement for the day.

    Oh I love banana pancakes!! I forgot how they do turn out dark, I had that trouble too but it's been a long time! I would suggest a lil more olive oil in the pan, or Pam spray. Now I'm going to have to make banana pancakes this weekend for my grandkids!!

    1 Pass Day
    Exercise? Yes, 25 minutes on the elliptical
    Calories? Yes, I was pushing it close at the end, but because I did not want a pass day is why I was able to stop myself ;)
    Tracking? Yes, even the 5 marshmallows I stuffed to satisfy my late night sweet tooth.

    @KCJen hang in there, it will be worth it when you get that degree ;)
    @w8goal4life that virtual run is really cool! It looks like you are using that from youtube. I'm going to have to do some exploring.

    Yes x 3 for Tuesday
    Had my first cardio boot camp session in months...modified for my knee of course. Even so, it whipped me and it felt great to sweat. Never thought I'd be someone who enjoyed this type of thing :D

    Good for you! It is interesting how exercise starts out as a "have to" and ends up as a "want to". (With the exception of planks... still have not reached that point that I "want" to do planks!)
