    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a 1 hour and 43 minute slushy trail run.
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

    Yesterday I had freezing rain and slickery trails, today was warmer, so I had slushy/standing water trails. No complaints though, my happy place is out running the trails!

    That was a great question @Ja_Kl. Glad you got your answers from @SModa61 and @MadisonMolly2017 so quickly. Keep 'em coming, y'all!

    ---|---|---|---
    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | Dancing machine 💃🏾 (30) TOTAL: 30 min
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base + 162
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES |
    ---|---|---|---

    Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (min 40%)? NO | 26%

    Based on today's logging, I've decided to aim for at least 30% protein even when I fail to get to 40%. Alas, today both brown Rice Krispy snacks and a portion of a stewed chicken roti were calling my name so...🤷🏾‍♀️

    My calorie rule for January UAC
    Defining, for myself more than anything, what is the definition of my daily calorie goal. For Oct and Nov, I used 1430 and not eating back exercise. December, I raised that to 1480 with no additional calories for exercise. For January, I am going to try a blended rule; either Food calories under 1480, or Net calories (ie Food minus exercise) under 1200. So, if my exercise burns less than 280 on a given day, there is no added calories. BUT, if I exercise more, I have the option additional food OR if I overeat, I have the option of exercising more to not use a pass day. This flexibility was not something I allowed in my previous rounds. Once I exceeded my goal calories, regardless of my exercise burn. Also, I am defining that I am using the MFP estimate for the caloric burn from exercise. I know I could get different numbers elsewhere, but I am going to use only the one source – good or bad.

    I woke up to our first Roomba poopocalypse and got to clean the carpets in my office this morning! Hey, added steps and a great way to lightly exercise on a chilly wet morning. My office carpets are now cleaned, so bonus! Yes, I'm trying to find the bright spot. My husband is less happy, he got to clean the Roomba. 🤢

    I thought that was urban legend and it never really happened. There are reasons I don’t have one of those anymore 😱😱😱
