3 x’s yes! Pilates and kickboxing today good on calories.
Every morning I write a task list in my notebook. A fresh brand new page each morning while I drink coffee. My goal is to accomplish those tasks that roll from page to page, day to day undone until they kind of take on a life of their own. It’s usually fairly small tasks that just get pushed aside. But left undone they add up and give me anxiety. So the goal is to not let a task roll forward more than 3 times. Third day on the list, it gets done FIRST.
@rangerrickl I instantly thought “oh that looks like a postage stamp I remember” so I googled it and an Ed Mell painting was used as an Arizona commemorative stamp. Thanks for the artist’s name and now I’m heading down the rabbit hole to learn more about him.7 -

Oh @RangerRickL - Work goals, home goals, family goals, financial goals, physical goals, spiritual and social goals and I could go on. You've opened up a can a worms! I try to narrow the focus to that which is truly important and meaningful in all these areas and work on maintaining a happy balance. Work tends to be the bully in my life and physical goals can easily get pushed out. I'm am fighting hard not to let that happen!!!
Exercise - Yes - Morning swim 1200 meters - exercise first thing so the bully goals don't push it out!
Calories - Yes - getting easier and almost on auto pilot - if I plan ahead
Tracking- Yes - MFP makes it easy.6 -

Jan 4
Exercise yes
Calories yes
Went out with hubby for breakfast. It was fast food.. Hardees. I was horrified at the calories😱...when they put the calorie count beside the choices you just want to run...ending up having half a raisin biscuit and a few potatoe tots from his plate. Even that felt sinful. Had homemade chicken vegtablee soup for lunch For dinner a nice plate of salad and rabbit my husband cooked. So the rest of the day was good. Still under so guess it's still a win.
Tracked yes8 -
Oh, I forgot to comment on my goals.
Pertaining to this challenge:
1.) Get moving more. My resting heart rate was much lower when I was exercising everday and I felt so much better
2.) Be more mindful in my eating. Example: I love cheese the seriously sharp kind. It is a weakness. When I get home I will end up filling the void with a very fattening food. I need accountability.
3.) Participate more in this challenge. Comment more. Read the posts more and try to encourage others as they have done me. To comment and hit the buttons when I feel compelled to.
Main Goal
Stop making excuses and live the life I want to live at this time in my life.8 -
It was hard working day today with cardio and strength. I ate some of my exercise calories.

@Ketch_22
Good luck on your goal! I was told in 2004 by my PT that I would always limp. I credit Dance Dance Revolution as the reason I was able to prove him wrong. I had to just do slow songs and skip the jumps for a long time, but all those lateral movements done as fun instead of therapy worked their magic. I don't even know if that game still exists - our hand-me-down PS2 died a long time ago.8 -
Exercise? Yes! My day was busy and I had a show to go to in the evening (won tickets!) and I thought I would have to take a pass. But, then I said to myself, you have enough time to get on the treadmill if you don't dawdle! And I did it. 30 minutes treadmill, plus grocery shopping and cleaning. Over 10k steps. I even listened to a book while on the treadmill, so I even got my "reading" in.
Within my calorie budget? Yep.
Tracked everything? Sure thing.7 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES (gym)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES4 -
@craigo3154 - it takes some big steps and some small steps. You have now taken the first, most impactful step. One step at a time, one day at a time. You’re doing this.
I keep posting on the wrong date. Being semi retired is causing me to lose track of actual dates.
Monday 2/3
Tracking: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: Yes - 10 min warm up, 20 min cardio, 10 min post stretch
- Golf - 9 holes walk
Went to a luncheon/fundraiser today. I was determined to make good choices. I was fine until someone brought me a second mimosa. I kept dinner light and had enough exercise calories to offset. I would have liked to use the exercise calories towards a deficit but ... the mimosas were quite good.
Tuesday 2/4
Tracking: Yes
Calories: over
Exercise: Yes - Golf - 18 holes cart still lots of walking.
Pass Day 1/3
My goal — to truly comprehend that I’m no longer in my 20s, or 30s, or 40s, and soon, 50s. To accept without any denial that I have had a chronic illness since at least age 14 when I was diagnosed, that limits me physically. To do what I can on days that I can and be thankful for that. To stop beating myself up for what I cannot do physically. To know the difference between using this as an excuse to do nothing and when I really need to stop and listen to my body. To stop blaming myself for my limitations and thinking if I just tried harder I should be able to overcome the limitations. To give myself a hug and all those around me and just live in the present and be thankful for each and every moment.10 -

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No, I was busy, didn't take my own snack to work, and ate some junk in the break room (about 134 calories over, best guess). Lesson learned, I hope -- food prep, food prep, food prep.

I can’t remember if I logged for the 4rth but I ate a late night snack which took me over my limit.
20 exercise? Yes, actually 30 minutes aerobics
