Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 390 minutes (or more), about 90 minutes walking and the rest disinfecting the public areas of my workplace because of the virus.
I'm exhausted again, but the whole time I worked on walking meditations, so I'm doing something that's personally meaningful in the middle of an alarming situation.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes6 -
@oldDogBiking Cheers back at you! Hope you enjoyed the Scotch as you celebrated your 800,000 milestone! And yes, that photo shows the huge shadow of the mountain, plus the peace of nature.4

@epangili That's interesting that you set a 20 minute timer and self-evaluated by the satiate scale you showed us, and your craving disappeared.
I'm a sugar fiend. I believe different things work for different people. It works best for me to almost never eat sweets, only fruit. Moderation doesn't work for me -- if I have a small amount of sweets on a regular basis, then I want them all the time. If I don't eat them at all, then I stop wanting them.
Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a lovely more-than-30 minutes stroll on a sunny 15 C day (~ 59 F - practically a tropical heatwave!)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes - upped it by another 50 for this week, and ate MOST of the exercise calories back, but still left less than 40 in the pot.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Days goals met: 24
Pass days used: 1 (unintentional)
(Aiming for only one other Pass day in April - an Intentional Pass for my 32nd wedding anniversary on April 30 - menu all planned including a special dessert that is sitting in the freezer in the meantime ... )

Hollis100 thank you for your insight and encouragement. I've tried restricting sugar but it didn't work for me leading me to more intense cravings and feeling deprived. I'm tapered my sugar tastebuds off my birthday and Easter treats and leftover sweets with just fruit then slowly going back to one small treat a day. Today was one homemade low calorie banana brownie serving no sugar nor sugar substitute and no flour planned after dinner.
Coach, great preplanning! Hope you enjoy your anniversary!4 -

@Bill70sStrong - been there. After surgeries I was so discouraged that I couldn’t just get up and pick up where I left off. My mind was rearing to go but my body was saying “eh, maybe tomorrow.” I started with short walks. To the front door and back. Then to the mailbox and back. Little by little going a bit farther. Some days shorter. It can be discouraging. I am trying to learn how to meditate to help with patience. But I’m growing impatient with it and that’s pretty discouraging. ;-) Be patient and kind to yourself. You will get there. Welcome back!
@Greenminnow - a garden sounds like a lovely idea. I am going to buy seeds today. I plan on doing a raised bed veggie garden. Has to be raised since the dogs trample everything on the ground. I haven’t planted a garden in years but now seems like the perfect time.
@oldDogBiking - congratulations and CHEERS!
