    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES (95 min of treadmill and bike)
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? NO
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? NO

    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:

    Date: 1/8
    Exercised?: Yes, PM: Indoor cycle 25 min; Under desk Elliptical (testing before I bring to 86 yr old father) 39 min; 0:38:41 Solo Walk at 14’15” pace for 2.71 miles, avg HR 123 BPM; 4 min mixed planks, 1 min situp (26), 1 min squat (44)
    Calories?: NO, 2605/1480 – 540 exercise (2065 net)
    Tracked?: Yes
    Rings closed?: Yes
    TDEE: 2181

    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.
