* I realize that recomp is - for the most part - boring and that I'm okay with not seeing big scale shifts anymore: it means I'm doing it right 🤷🏾♀️4 -
@Hollis100 youtubd link did not work
Oh, no, thanks for telling me. Hopefully, this will work. It's a little 9-minute film about expanding our perspective.

Wonderful reading everyone victories!
For me, I've noticed increased arm strength. Push ups are getting easier as well as all the plank moves.

@RangerRickL Open your Fitbit app and tap on Discover on the bottom left, then go down to Challenges & Adventures and you should see Get Fit Bingo. This is for premium members, I get it free through my insurance, if not, you can be invited to play and can ask up to 100 people. Everyone gets a different card each time. It's a lot of fun. If you want you can friend me Mari S and I'll include you in the next round.

@Dory_42 does your insurance give you points for 7,500 steps a day on Fitbit? Mine pays me a dollar a day then sends me a debit card. I was surprised but happy to receive it.3

A non-scale victory for me this afternoon was 6 trips up the stairs into the attic. I live in a ranch style home so I do not use stairs very often. Just a few months ago one trip up those attic stairs was tough. So it was a pleasant surpise when I did multiple trips, my knees did not hurt and I could tell my balance has improved.5 -
Tracked everything today. Stayed within my calorie range. Exercise - yes. Glad to be back on track.4

Morning treadmill with ten min hill workout. Walking outside in the pm.

My calorie rule for January UACDefining, 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.Date: 1/1

My non-scale victory this month is asking for a Fitbit for my birthday next week (rather than books, the more typical request.) My husband gave it to me today, a few days early, because he could see how committed to tracking I've been this month and wanted to make things easier.7 -
