I absolutely agree with your post about attitude. I've been working really hard to change my internal monologs over the last year it so to try to be kinder to myself. It makes a difference.
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? No (I won't end up in the winners circle due to not being able to exercise on tough migraine days. But I'd still like to follow along.)

Work has been very busy. But managed yesx3 days over last 3 days. Sat: 39 min walking: sun: over 2 hours cleaning home. Today: 20+mins dancing. I’ve been slipping up on sweet snacks which caused me to restrict dinners to stay under budget. Have to tackle this.
Thanks for the reminder, Rick. Yes, a can-do attitude is a must to drive us each day one step closer to our goals. Not all days are going to be great but we can always pick ourselves back up and can-do!5 -
@lalabank You are welcome anytime! You are a part of the team!

Exercise: I have been riding horses since I was 23. I ride often and sometimes for many miles, but, I have never really developed flexibility at the slow trot. For the last 2.5 months, I have been focusing on relaxing my back and applying the active stretching techniques that I have been using for my lumbar spine. Today, for the first time, I was able to feel the horse's side-to-side movement and flex in rhythm with the horse. It was good for me and the horse was happy too. 45 minutes stretching and 45 minutes riding
Calories: way under my limit
Tracking: good6 -
Pass Day #3
Tracked - Yes
Calories - Yes
Exercise - Nope. Second sedentary day in a row.
I guess I'm in a rut? But I'm content in this rut. My foot is healing and I'm preparing for an upcoming boards exam followed by some big life changes. It feels like I'm doing the right thing for myself right now. Obviously this is not sustainable long-term, but for now, I think I'll happily call this nice little rut my home.6 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - 15 minutes of upper back pilates with resistance band before I even had my morning coffee - plus lots of exergame AND evening walk (very brisk at the end .... there was this coyote ... I kid you not!)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes well under - not eating most of the fitbit exercise credits and it is still 2 hrs till midnight.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Days goals met: 10
Pass days used: 0

Yes x 3
I have noticed i have been very successful now that I have more reasonable goals. I find that it is easier to not allow myself to eat unplanned food and wait between meals and scheduled snacks now that I am not constantly hungry. I have also already noticed some improvement in my tummy. Yay I am proud of myself today☺️7 -
Yes, x's 3...but yeah..had to throw some candy away that I KNEW when I bought it for my kids...that it was going to be too hard for me to pass up...and THEN...stuff happened to make me allow myself to stress eat a little of it...(cherry sours for those wondering...delicious little demons) Then...I started working out with my zoom zumba instructor...and realized...those HAVE to go.
Pass days left: 2Hey everyone! I’m jumping in late this month after taking a few months away from MFP. Nice to see so many of you keeping on.
It’s only one yes for me today- plenty of exercise. 4hrs of gardening and an hour of backyard kickboxing with my workout crew.
I just decided to set my calories and start tracking again this evening.
Welcome back, and I like that idea...backyard kickboxing ...fun idea.3 -
