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!!!

*** Completed 1400+ miles of driving and got to MIL’s florida home for the night. Leaving again in the morning. Walked her neighborhood after dark with my led arm bands and thought my “strolling” sneakers would cut it. They did not. Cut walk short. Those were my only shoes I packed for the road trip. Will remember next time to bring another option.

*** 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.

@MadisonMolly2017
So sorry for your loss! I know your house is going to be lonely for a while! You were blessed to have your fur baby for so many years. It doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye though.4 -
Pass day x3 for Tuesday, cause I couldn't accurately track takeout thai food. Also, due to cadbury mini-eggs, bah humbug
But, yes x 3 for Wednesday. The kitchen is closed for the night and I'm about to head out to play some tennis. Cardio blast time! Gonna fight to stay on track so I make the circle this month.5 -
Yes, yes, and yes.
I got the covid vaccine this morning and assumed I would not be able to exercise. Not so, its been 12 hours now and I am feeling no effect - no soreness in the arm, no symptoms of anything. So I did a good workout. No pass days yet, and with just 3 days left in the month I think I am in the Winners Circle! Feels good.8 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes today? No. Spent the afternoon walking around shopping with my mom. Tried on summer clothes. Last year at this time, I was wearing 2x tops and 18w pants(snug). This year I can wear M tops and size 8 pants. It just seems surreal.
Calories? Yes. Under.
Logged? Yes.

Thank you, @clutterqueen. Your comments helped. 😘3 -
Good news/bad news.
Good: Another 3 YES day. Going to bed earlier is helping to keep me under calorie budget the next day.
Bad news: approaching a 2-week plateau and I’m getting frustrated.5 -

@MadisonMolly2017 So sorry for your loss, but you can take comfort from knowing that you did the right thing at the end.
I try to read everyone's posts but it can be hard to catch up and remember all the stories. I'm rooting for you all even if I don't mention you by name.
Thank you @lesdarts180. I really appreciate you message. We do feel great that we placed her needs above ours for a long, long time. Very happy she is no longer stoically suffering. 😘3 -
