Belatedly, checking in yes x34

I walked the pup for almost 3 miles in the morning, and went swimming at a friend’s house for her birthday. It was a small group of people (well under the group size in our state).
I tracked everything but just barely went over in my allotted calories so that will be Pass Day 1/3 for me. Well worth it!6 -
Almost made it, but a piece of banana cake last evening pushed me over the calorie benchmark. It was a quiet 4th here...just hubby and me and the cat. Neighborhood fireworks ended rather early which was good as it allowed the cat to come out of hiding and allowed me to get some sleep.4

Yes, yes, and yes. It was a good day.4

Pass Day #1
Exercise - Yes - nice 5 mile run felt good! Two months ago I couldn't manage a 1 mile run!
Tracked - No. Started out well early in the day, but later I had a few drinks and measuring/counting went out the window.
Calories - Nope! After those few drinks (which have a lot of calories themselves), judgment also went out the window. Pizza, chips, even a cupcake!
This was not a pass day done right, but it was fun, I was with friends, I enjoyed treats I rarely have, and I learned that more than 1 serving of alcohol means prett turning a day into a pass day.8 -

Important insight - gained early in the month. A "lessons learned and voiced" Pass Day is just as valuable in the long run as a "pass day done right" ....3 -

We are looking at practicing perseverance, not perfection ... so so easy on yourself! No matter what happens over the course of the whole month, by paying attention via reporting you are discovering and refining potential strategies for "next time" that a similar situation is coming up.
Life Happens. National holiday month and birthday month at the same time is a once-a-year thing.
I had two back-to-back "not even special" days early last month, and made it through in the end. RangerRick doesn't even manage it every single month.3 -
Pass day #1 for the fourth! Had ice cream, Mac and cheese, hot dog, and the bun! Also liberal with some breakfast foods. One day to give all foods a pass, since that's all we could do lol. Still got out and walked around alot too3

Life Happens. Persistence and over-all trends should be your over-all perspective. In one-month-at-a-time chunks. With an eye to discovering what would be long-term realistic for you and your situation.
Celebration events are still to be celebrated (something that you PLAN to use or potentially use a pass day for )
Frantic times and sick-days or injuries may happen to throw you out of your successful routine (unintentional, unplanned pass days)
By continuing to check in with us, you have a way to own your choices - discover habitual trends you didn't even know you were doing - and come to realize that one unintentional bad day doesn't have to turn into a string of them.
Hang in there!1
