Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
This is a weird NSV, especially considering my background. I was literally bed ridden for years because of chronic pain. The last year-and-a-half I gained enough strength to work up to using an exercise bike, weights, and this year the stair treadmill. Now that the gym is closed I've been doing a lot of YouTube workouts but they have to be low impact because of my chronic pain issues/back problems. It's a frustrating one but all the low impact is mainly for beginners so I'm having to add weights and do stuff to make them harder. I don't have heavy weights and did heavy with legs at the gym and I'm struggling to get good leg workouts (arms are wimpy and do ok with extra sets). I NEVER would've thought I'd be in decent enough shape to ever be more than a beginner nevermind someone who works out every day and can complete these things!
Many of the articles I have been reading a lot about resistance bands for the legs. Many levels of resistance are out there and it is something you can order online.
Inspiring story - keep up the great work.7 -

Exercise? Yes, one of those low impact videos that @Katmary71 was saying are now too easy for her! Not for me though.....I don't know how many times I stopped that thing to get my breathing back under control!
Logged? No.
Under? No way.
It was my birthday and my son was in charge of making my birthday dinner. It was wonderful
(salmon, jasmine rice, sauteed vegetables, bruschetta bread, cheesecake for dessert), and I enjoyed every bite! He did slice the top of his pinky off using a very sharp vegetable peeler and had to go to the ER to get stitches to stop the bleeding, so it was memorable as well!!

Exercise, Calories, Tracking Yes, No Yes
NSV Because I have been so inconsistent due to the current circumstances, I think the victory for me is being here and reading what everyone else has posted. It motivates me to move forward and keep with it.5 -
Wednesday, 4/15
Tracking: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: Yes, nice walk. Needed a rest.
Pass days to date - 1
NSV - I’m not sure this is truly an NSV but being in this challenge is keeping me from completely going off the rails. Thank you all. I have tracked everything each day this month. Others - I am less out of breath as I do physical activity. My lungs suffer from my meds but I am beginning to think that my physical activity efforts are helping. Also, my pants fit me well which is both a good and bad thing. I’ve lost 16 pounds since November - they are the same pants! What did I look like in them 16 pounds ago? <shudder>6 -
@Hollis100, thank you very much! He is still in bed, so I hope that means that the pain wasn't too bad and he was able to sleep. The one good thing about this pandemic? People are not going to ER's unless they feel they absolutely have to, so he did not have to spend hours there, waiting his turn.4

Happy birthday @HASWLRS
Intentional pass day. Great day celebrating my daughters birthday.
NSV is that I didn’t go overboard despite knowing I was taking a pass. Sometimes I throw in the towel when I know I’m going to be over calories and end up binging.8 -
Yes x3
NSVs:
1) It's halfway through the month and I only have one pass day! This hasn't been true since November!
2) I've logged for 100+ days in a row (I am supposed to be on a trip to Europe right now so would be taking the week off were I on vacation, so might as well take the silver lining that instead I got to hit 100!)6 -
Yes x 32

@loopydo2017, your daughter has a great birthday, I see! Thank you for the wishes and good for you for not throwing in the towel when you knew you were going to be over. I, on the other hand, did eat more than I really wanted, because I knew it was on over day. I'll have to be more aware of that next time.3

@HASWLRS. Happy birthday. Hope it was a memorable day for other reasons too.April 15th

I hope your son is fine now. Finger injuries can be painful for a while.

@craigo3154, it was memorable also because both boys were home. Next year at this time, one will be living in a house with two room mates very nearby, but the other one will be in the Czech Republic.4

Happy birthday! You have such a sweet and loving son - loves you so much he bled for you... I hope he heals fast and not traumatized. I had a similar incident with a mandolin and haven't used one since...3 -

@RangerRickL, yes, it is definitely a little on the macabre side of birthday greetings, but I like it in this case! Thank you!1 -

Thank you, ladies! Yes, he's a good son, but he's also a walking billboard for injuries resulting from accidents! It all started when he was 8 and fell off his bike and had to have pins put in. Since then, he's had stitches in his head from cracking it on cement steps goofing around at the arena, he broke his knuckle, taking a swing at his buddy's helmet in the dressing room, he broke his ankle drunkenly stumbling down some steps on St. Patrick's Day two years ago and last New Year's Eve he was attacked by a dog walking home from a party and had to have stitches in his arm. Okay, the last one wasn't an accident, but it was one more time he had to have stitches!
