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

Still here logging and on track with my calories, but no exercise. Not a winner's circle month, but not a terrible month either.3

@Bill70sStrong Congratulations! I know you have missed out on lots of relationship time!4

@reachedmylimit Lots of exercise and Mom only has one birthday per year, so that is a great way to use a Pass day.3

@SModa61 Wow! What a thrill to see your grandson walk for the first time.4

Yes x 33

@MaltedTea I can't argue with the term 'whacky Americans". It's mighty cold and snowy in Chicago too, but it's pretty nice here in Phoenix. We miss the Canadian visitors and snowbirds too!

Pass Day. No fun travelling / examining all day and then being stuck in a hotel room from 6pm ...
Back home today, hopefully back to 'normal'.4
