Pass Day. Sick in bed all day.
Exercise: No
Calories: No
Tracked: No
(2/3 passes used)
Will admit I'm discouraged to be starting the 4th day and have already used 2 pass days. Trying to not feel like giving up. But it's hard.3 -

Words of wisdom to you from one of our long-time veterans, @KrazyTwinMomma , and anyone else having a rough start .... (italics for emphasis by me)craigo3154 wrote: Β»Tracking has slipped and I need to get back into that habit. I usually log weight and breakfast (714 day streak on MFP). I stay mindful of everything I eat for the day. Most days I get 20 mins activity (today was a 5km walk).
So today is a yes x 3 for me. Monday was yes x 2 (tracking short) and Tuesday was a yes x 2 (tracking also short). So pass x 2 for me this month (so far).
Intention is to spend at least 15mins reading and posting.
My goal this month is not to make circle. If I do it's a bonus, but not my aim.
My goal is to stay engaged here and try each day to adhere to the goals of the group.
I've noticed a number of people regretfully posting that they have pass days already. Should not be a regret.
If a pass day is unplanned, learn from it, forgive yourself and treat tomorrow as a new day.
If a pass day is planned, celebrate it.
I look forward to reading others posts tomorrow.
Read RangerRickL's start every morning. craigo3154 is usually right near the top too (he checks in from Australia)
Making it through on 3 passes means 90% on target ... but Life HAPPENS!
If you are still posting on April 30, no matter HOW many passes got used, you WIN! You have started to develop an ingrained accountability habit. At that point, sign up for May, and aim to "beat your Personal Best"3 -
