I worked hard in the evening because my eating was not so great during the day and I wanted to earn my place in the Winters Circle π. Thank you, @RangerRickL for adding me!
I finished Heather bobertson's 12 week program! π This one was "epic" and I did have to pause for 30s extra at some point (she leaves only 15s of rest), to then see to my surprise that it was the last exercise!
Ready to move on to the next program and determined to change my schedule. I slept too little again this month, mostly because of stress @work.
I'll try to make the last day of Jan a good one, to have some momentum for February π.3 -

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 β good or bad.Date: 1/1

*** So for my first time, I am giving myself a gift and allowing myself to count unstructured exercise ( ie no plan and no timers running). I have been lifting and moving boxes all day after starting by shoveling the access for my MILβs movers. Back to her condo tomorrow. Could I do 20 minutes of formal exercise? Yes, but I have a couple hours of prep for tomorrow still to do tonight and for today, that is the priority. Will be there 4 out of the next 5 days, and then hopefully after that I can get my own home back in order. :P

I, too, my friend, started this month allowing myself to count " activity," which I do, ALL day, as counted towards my formal exercise! We both are at the point, and we are close to our goal weight! We no longer need to push that hard towards formal exercise, but rather keep tracking and moving our bodies daily! Good for you and, yea, for us!1 -
