Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    Pass Day #3 for me, still sick. Hopeful for tomorrow though.

    @w8goal4life I've only clicked on your first link so far, but I LOVE it! Thank you!

    As to staying motivated to exercise, I'm most enthusiastic about exercise when I see performance improvements, and least enthusiastic when I've plateaued, or worse, gone backwards.

    I wish I had advice on how to avoid fitness plateaus and setbacks, but all I have learned is how to handle them without too much frustration. Generally, if it's unpleasant because it feels too hard, I make it easier.

    Going to have to use that strategy over the next few weeks as my lungs recover from this illness :lol:

    Exercise: Yes. 45 minute walk.
    Calories:Yes, under
    Tracked:Yes
    It sounds pessimistic, but, in part, fear keeps me motivated; I remind myself of the physical and mental downsides of not exercising. But, I also think of the joy I feel in being fit enough to do the things I love.

    Yes to all 3. The only thing to keep me motivated to exercise the last few days is this group! Feeling a bit under the weather but I made it through.

    This has to be my first pass day. I logged everything and worked out for 30 minutes, but my daughter and I went out for Thai food tonight, so went a couple hundred calories over my allotment. We had a wonderful visit together though!!!

    Thank you @w8goal4life for the video suggestions! I am always on the lookout for good You Tube workouts, and the Yoga one looks really good. Can’t wait to try it! Thank you!
