Pass day 3
Did good until after dinner when my daughter informed me of issues she needed me to take care or “right now” for her classes that start tomorrow. I really am the one who needs to do it since she is my dependent. I decided to scarf down a ice cream cone and trail mix while redoing the fafsa I swore I did last winter. I’m annoyed because we don’t qualify anyway it is just a requirement of her school, and I really wished it wasn’t brought to my attention as a issue until now. I did get a lot of physical activity in and tracked everything.5 -

Recently, I keep forgeting to log or completing my entries on MFP and UAC. That 9 days break took away the habit of more than 200 days. It is so much easier not to do things than to do them and also it is so easy to get use to not to do things

I love reading everyone’s NSV!
This would be a pass simply because I did not log. I’m positive I’m under on calories and I got plenty of exercise- lol I fell asleep on the couch at 7pm so our new Sunday obstacle course is a win!!!
I am working on weighing and logging, it was second nature for so long but a few months off and I’m retraining myself. I don’t eat a big variety of foods in general and know my serving sizes but it’s easy to add in calories if I’m not logging. August is my adjustment month.6 -
@dsgoingtodoit "Recognizing the pattern ... I've been tempted in the past after a nice loss...to stop working out as much... stop tracking my food...let the stressors of the day - get in the way of better choices. "
Good for you to recognize that pattern -- I have the same kind of pattern. I get busy and stressed or both, and shove the calories and my health to the back burner (or out the window) -- which derails my health and leads to weight gain. We can retrain ourselves to care, to remember we're worth the effort. 3 -
Pass day 2. Went for a long walk, but then off the rails with eating. I'm disgusted. Back to being disciplined tomorrow.5

Pass day X 3. Didn't exercise, and then went slightly over on calories.

Tracked all - yup
I weighed the bag of mixed nuts to the gram then carried it to eat - usually I weigh a portion in advance- (a bad day - a friend died, on top of worrying I’ll never get to travel again + high heats/rate time of feeling fat) and then weighed the bag after eating. Tracked over 1,000 cals of unsalted nuts, eaten one at a time. Looked at numbers- realized I had some calories left & would have more if I walked. Which I did. Ate modestly a light supper. Pass Day avoided. Spirits elevated the minute I got outside the front door.
My mantra was: food won’t fix it. So I didn’t go over calories, I didn’t eat truly “bad” food. And I didn’t really “let loose” with the food. I paid attention.
Now I know to recite: food won’t fix it, but walking will!!
Calories under -147
Exercised YES! 67 min fast walk after dark

@idmalone You can post late. Lots of team members do. I go back and read their posts once they have posted. Don't worry that you have to take a pass for posting late0
