@Mrs_Hoffer Thank you for the instructions! I had seen @Summerskier place pictures between spoilers and find it quite practical.
@RangerRickL I have signed up for the March challenge. 8 -
@RangerRickL signed up for challenge.
@oh_jackie yes - first I put the pictures up then I click the down arrow on the PPh icon in the formatting section (on my computer) when I have the links highlighted. Saves space on the pages for sure!
Interesting to see what flora survived and what did not. Some of the same types also it depended on location also I guess. My hyacinth survived buried under ice and snow for a week LOL. My paperwhites which were about to bloom are wilted down to the bulbs. Maybe they will have a second try. It's 74 degrees today. A little better than the 6 last week. wow. Still under boil water notice but things are slowly returning to normal. I hope the groceries will be stocked up within a couple days. I have started getting delivery on some Amazon items which have been delayed over a week. And work is back up and running also. YEAH!
Cheering me through the whole ordeal was an Amaryllis which a friend had sent me. The bright spot in a sea of frozen darkness. Apparently I signed up for the Feb 21 Arctic Survival course and did not know it. jeez....

Feeling pretty stoked today. NSV: I was shopping an online sale at Anthropologie and a found a top I loved that was 50% off. They only had it left in a petite small. I went ahead and ordered it and figured I'd be able to wear it in a few months since it's a fitted style. It arrived today and fit perfectly! Last year this time, I was wearing an XL.

Plans for setting calorie goalFor February, I will be joining the others in the group that are here for accountability while maintaining. I am adding 200 calories/day to my January target calories, for a total of 1680. For comparison, MFP stated that my maintenance calories should be 1610. We’ll see how this goes and adjust daily calorie goal if I begin to consistently gain.
Also, I will consider calories a “yes” if either my food is under 1680, or my net is under 1400. Both of those numbers are 200 calories above my January numbers.Date: 2/1

***So though my “exercise” is on the lighter side, before I headed outside at 8:40 PM in 27 degrees, my apple watch said I had already done 602/510 move calories, 49/30 exercise min, 14/12 stand hours, 9,792 steps, 4.4 miles and 138 flights.
Today was also my “second” run. Shorter than my first, but I needed to make sure my second run was a success so there would ever be a third. I did throw in a hill AND the one time I passed my friendly speed detector I sped up and got it to flash a “9”. :P

*** I owe a bunch of responses and will catch up today. At dinner time last night, I made gnocchi but scalded my hand and dropped my iphone into the recently boiling water when I tripped on the dishwasher door while carrying the pot to drain while calling for information to help get my advanced senior parents their COVID vaccinations. Amazingly, saved the gnocchi, iphone works (was in the hot water at least 5 minutes – Kudos to Apple), parents got their appointments, and I after a long evening trying to treat my hand I feel asleep with mega dose of advil and my wrapped hand in a bucket of cold water. This morning, I think it is going to be ok. Still tender, but I think I won’t lose any skin. Last night, I tried to type on the computer but could not, and for my indoor cycling I did it will my hand raised over my head. The cycling increased blood flow made my hand burn like heck. BUT, no Pass day. I am saving those for something I enjoy!!!

*** Made it to Marathon. The last 200 miles took 5 hours, then unloading the SUV I stuffed full because, why not? Boxes are everywhere. Made dinner and at 7:45 headed out for first long walk in a while. Did 5.5 miles. I think I need to acclimate to the temps and humidity in Florida. 75 degrees is not super pleasant for me…..yet. When I left home two days ago, it was 14 degrees. I personally like 58 to a high of 73. Yes, you can ask me why we bought a place in Florida. :P Tomorrow AM, I will step on the scale for my reference point for the next 10+ weeks. My scale here and the one at home are within .2, so it will also tell me how my planning and pre-tracking worked for the trip. Paper expects it to be fine/good.

Yes, yes, and yes, it was a good day.
No pass days yet, I am feeling optimistic about the WC this month.
Signed up for March, but am not sure I can make the WC next month. I have a week's vacation planned, mostly in New Orleans, hard to resist the calories in that food! And getting exercise there will be tough. No matter the challenge is important to me, and will help even if I don't make the WC. March will make my first year, I started in April last year.7 -
Yes x 34

Yes x3
Today was one of those days where being in the UAC already changed my habits from what I was doing a week ago. Since I had pre-logged my dinner I realized that instead of having half a leftover sub for lunch, I could only do 1/4, and it would be wise to sub carrots and Greek yogurt dip for chips. Due to planning, I was able to get it all to fit, and since I skipped wine again tonight, I treated myself to a bit of (measured) dark chocolate and peanut butter with my nighttime tea since I now had the space for it!
Exercise was a short walk, a longer walk, and 25 min bodyweight exercises.11 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 3 mile treadmill run + 34 minute strength this morning; and 57 minute cardio dance class this afternoon
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!4 -
Well... just like all the other past attempts with MFP, I didn't stick with logging. I think I missed the last 5 days. I'm not sure why I always do that. In the past I logged for years straight on a different site. There's really no reason I should keep falling off.
BUT the good news is, I'm back after only 5 days instead of 5 months! I think this group helped with that. I joined the March challenge group and hopefully actually being in the challenge will help me stick with it! Wish me luck!
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES - 35 min of lower body strength.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES
