A successful day even though I had a couple of treats. A good Jiu Jitsu class this morning and then a walk to the shops in the howling gale. Coffee with coach and his family after class and an afternoon of watching series with my cat who has been missing his brother Jack.5

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | Walking 'n errands (30), TOTAL: 30 min
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base + 65
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES |
---|---|---|---
* NOTE: Only counting half the walking calories
Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (min 40%)? YES | 40%
Pass Days Used: (JAN07)(JAN12)
Not sure I've ever logged this early but it's a total rest day and I'm busy doing my hair while binge-watching anything and everything that streams online.
In other news: today's "walk 'n errands" had to be done in -13°C (or around 9°F for you wacky Americans). That meant doubling up on pants so as not to freeze. So I grabbed a pair of last summer's size 30 "skinny jeans" but doubted that I could wear gym leggings underneath.
Not only could I, but I needed a belt 😲
I also tried on my "goal jeans" (a dramatic flared pair from Guess) earlier this week because I was bored. They are size 27, fit a charm but will soon need belting as well unless I can get this recomp under better control.
So I guess my jeans collection is my achievement?! 🤷🏾♀️

Exercise, yes, 10 mins cardio workout and a long walk, very muddy and hilly. Walking was at a 4 year-olds pace mixed with tag and chase grandma up the hill 😄
I took a photo but I can't load it.
Tracked as best I could with estimates.

Spent most of the day feeling very cold and under the weather so took a rest day, lounged around and watched Netflix. Feeling lots better tonight so looking forward to a more active day tomorrow!6 -
@MaltedTea That is awesome about the jeans!! I also am in awe at your protein intake for the day!
My quads were still sore from the weights workout 2 days ago, so it was another easier day for me (45 min yoga, 15 low impact spin).
I normally don't worry about my macros and focus only my calories. However, that is going to be one of my new focus areas, so I really tried to keep it balanced today. This is probably the best my pie chart has ever looked! I went a little over on fat but actually ate more protein than carbs.
Yes, yes, yes.5 -
So great to be back with my fitness instructors and friends for actual in person classes. Limited size/socially distanced still, but we're together!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, a 60 minute Core Power Vinyasa Flow Yoga class, immediately followed by a 45 minute Mind Body Connect class, and a 45 minute Simply Stretch class.

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
