@craigo3154 and @RangerRickL I’m so sorry to hear about what you’re each currently going through and very inspired and grateful that you’re nevertheless finding the time to support this community.
Jan 13: 3 x yes today. 2/3 pass days used so far. Exercise was PT exercises and 30 min body weight exercises. Tracked everything and currently 180 kcal under. I’m not feeling very hungry and may not eat my exercise calories back today. Tomorrow I’ll have to buy some more fruits and veg, my intake has been slipping to below where I would like to be.3 -
I forgot: I’m not amazing at rewarding myself. Much more likely to focus on my shortcomings than my successes. That said, I plan to go clothes shopping when I reach my goal weight. Because I refused to buy anything new before I shed the extra pounds some of my stuff is starting to look quite worn...2

yes x3 today.
Was under though surprised that 1+ hour of biking and an hour of parkour (logged in Fitbit as gymnastics) plus almost 9k steps (I take my watch off for parkour so sadly it won't count that hour as having any steps even though I can log it after for calories) only gave me 158 Cal according to MFP. Yet in Fitbit it estimated those as a bit over 400 and I have mfp set to lightly active which should be similar to the steps I had today. I know I'd be subtracting the Cals that I'd burn anyway just by being alive during those two hours, but I'm wondering if the Fitbit/ mfp sync is a bit off.
For reward I'm not sure what I do. I like to do various things to enjoy life, but not sure if I count that as necessarily a reward. Though when I reach my weight goal I'm thinking of rewarding myself by making some chocolate chip cookie dough...3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 2 mile treadmill run + 33 minutes of Barre Blend Full Body Blend
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!2 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes - hard back and biceps workout at the gym and I aggravated my tennis elbow. So sick of tennis elbow.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes3 -
Oops, posted today on yesterday. Anyhow, yes x 3, big hike w dog at the beach.
I hadn't realized it, but I really don't reward myself. But, now that you mention it, I'm going to do it, and buy myself a new dress once I reach my goal weight.

Craig...would enjoy learning of your experience in Phuket. We, tentatively, leave for Singapore and a SE Asia cruise in February. Phuket is one of our ports of call. I say, tentatively, only because of the natural occurring phenomena in SE Asia that could disrupt travel plans.craigo3154 wrote: »The last time I can recall had such a situation was on holiday in Phuket in Thailand over 4 years ago (problem is that is an expensive reward).
Very sorry for the disruptions caused by the fires in Australia....and now, concern for the Philippines.
@w8goal4life. Phuket is relaxing. Usually warm weather. Lots of shops and products are generally inexpensive. Plenty of nightlife if that is what you are in to. Accommodation is likewise inexpensive and hospitality is good. Great place to be pampered. Most Thai in Phuket speak decent English too.
The expensive bit is getting there and back (airfare from Australia).

Well, pass day 3 already. Not doing so well in January, but I've been bad for the past 4 months, so I guess I'm just easing back in to the system.
Will be having foot surgery in early February, so it's only going to get worse. Will keep coming back to this group, though, even though I'm out of the winner's circle. I like the community feeling and everyone is so positive and thoughtful! 7 -

@ShareASmile Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Maybe look into chair yoga while you recover?

Reward: I've only used a couple over 4 years - to very good effect - mostly just to turn the ship around when I need an extra incentive.
I want to try encaustic painting, so my reward for getting back to 155 & my healthy habits is being able to purchase the needed supplies. My rewards are often something I would get anyway, but I can use them to my healthy advantage.
In the past, if I didn’t eat out, I’d occasionally let myself use the money I saved at Michael’s or JoAnn’s or I’ll say “ok you can spend $5 at Jo-Ann’s” I get a TON of steps and happily entertain myself as I truck around (like a kid with get allowance) deciding one the best thing!! LOL
