Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Yes

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
No. Just consumed too much in the evening

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
No. Stopped tracking in the evening

Just one of those days. Not overly disappointed, it’s been a good week overall

Yes, yes, and yes, a good day!

Thanks for the quote Rick, one of my favorites. My version of it is something like you can't make others any happier than yourself. So if you really want to be a good influence on your kids and loved ones start with yourself...

Ok I missed a few days of reading posts, but it looks like from reading this, that you have a new boyfriend @Dory_42 ?

Hmm, not at that point but I met someone online and he has potential. Still early days and we are taking it slow but enjoying getting to know him.

AKA Pass 2.

I did extremely well until night again. I don't know if my body just needed extra calories. I should have hydrated myself better. There was no excuse, but I think I learned something from this.

@SModa61 You are an inspiration and I deeply appreciate you!

It’s now the “morning after” and I came to my computer with my coffee to update yesterday’s post, and then I see @RangerRickL ‘s kind words, which makes this update all that more important.

So 8:30 last night, kitchen was closed, my remaining Kung Pao Chicken was stored away for today, and my 1/8/21 UAC post was up. All is good, right??

Well, about an hour later, the Kung Pao disappeared (no one is home but me), and when I got up this morning, the house alarm was never set, and below was the state of my cats' feeders. Yes, there should be food bowls inside.

So while I am working on changes in my behaviors that could be deemed inspiring (Thank you, Ranger Rick). The reality is that not every day works out as planned. Today is a new day, and I am ready to move on. Still proud of 95% of my day yesterday where I chose to mindfully “earn” a treat, but I am reminded that the other 5% (leftover Chinese takeout) can still be a trigger for me. All and all, my TDEE vs consumption was only 424 over. Not as bad as I imagined. Thank you tracking habit for making me aware!!

Here is my amended 1/8 posting:

Calories?: NO, 2605/1480 – 540 exercise (2065 net)
Tracked?: Yes
Rings closed?: Yes
TDEE: 2181

Pass #1 used

Yes x 3 for Friday, though barely! It was gonna be a pass day due to some tacos, but I ended up putting the meats on a salad instead, no cheese or sour cream. Was still delicious!

Pass day #2. I tracked and stayed within my calorie budget, but I fell asleep before I could squeeze my workout in. Exercising on work days (Mon-Fri) is my biggest challenge, and 3 out of 5 this past week is a level I'm happy with, UAC rules notwithstanding.

@Mrs_Hoffer YOU GO!!!! Lol I love the mental game of “just get to the corner” now “just get to the red car”
I play that game in my head often!!
Now next time you do it you can also say “I can do this because I’ve done it before!!” It’s a very powerful thing to be able to tell yourself.

lalabank

3x’s yes! Really under on calories which balances my pass day yesterday.
6 mile walk this morning- I started walking to work which I am finding a beautiful balance to a day at the library. It’s really a less then a mile walk to work but I’ve been taking crazy meandering 4-5 mile routes on the way there.
