Yesx3 ready for another swim tomorrow!

Good day despite frustrations. Morning run was terrible and I actually gave up and walked home. Ate badly yesterday and gassed out. Need to eat before I train! I know this but haven't been doing it, so to was a good reminder.
Stood in the queue for over an hour to get a refund for an account that is finally closed and stopped by to visit my volunteer. She is autistic and missing the snakes badly. She had got me a mask so I picked it up and updated her on all the funny happenings with the animals recently. Then home to do a bunch of meal prep for my next work shift starting tomorrow.
The weather turned miserable and I wasn't really keen for Jiu Jitsu but my housemate was (normally one of us is, which means we rarely miss class). Coach was on his own so he used us to demonstrate the moves. Tricky to figure out what he means but between us we got it quite quickly. Turned out to be a great class and I'm glad I did it. Then a fun yoga session (fun because the instructor makes us laugh, even if it is tough) before supper.
Tomorrow is going to be cold and wet so I'll do some shoulder and wrist rehab instead of running. I'll get wet at work anyway but at least the sun will be up then.
I'm finding that many of my meals are becoming more plant based, although I do enjoy meat when I have it. Today was only bacon in my soup. Tomorrow's plan doesn't include meat at this stage.
All food logged and under calories.
Still on track for that circle...

Yes times three

Exercise? Yes, walking and an on-line yoga class.

Logged? To a point. Under? No. I was again too hungry today. Something else disappointed/frustrated me, and the result was I gave in to that hunger. Not so thoughtfully this time....

I can't wait to get my new phone....I was definitely too far under my calories last week. Hopefully today's little binge will make the deficit a little smaller and keep in the "yes" circle for the rest of May, even though I will not be in the Winner's Circle.

4 Pass Days Used

I am deeply appreciative of all the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for us. I am forever indebted to them and their parents, spouses, children, siblings, family and friends.



Monday, 5/25

Tracking: Yes
Calories: under
Exercise: Yes, cycle - 60 minutes, mow lawn with push mower around apple trees, slopes (tractor
leaning over on the slopes scares me too much and new tractor tires only have air in them —
need to get the tires filled) and front yard - 2 hours

I felt I was pushing too hard on my rides so I strapped on a heart rate monitor to check. I was. I started heart rate training today. I’m just going to keep it in zone 2 (out of 5) for as many months as it takes to keep it in check while increasing output.

Pass days to date - 3

@TerriRichardson112 you always inspire me with your cheerful, practical approach to life

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes, a peaceful hour walk in the nearby national park. The stars were out when I got home. This was a rest day for me.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

Yes x3
10k steps and 25 min calisthenics.
Had a delicious grilled cheese that was simple to prepare. Put fig jam on, then sauteed sweet peppers glazed in balsamic, then cheese. Delicious paired with a side salad.

Yes, yes, and yes.

It was a good day.

Happy Memorial Day to those who served, and their supportive families!
