Exercise: yes, bike ride 25 minutes, cardio 15 minutes.
Tracking: estimating, bit iffy.
Calories: over
Pass days used: 1/3 - but still in the Winners Circle

Took a pass day as planned. The game pie was delicious, the chocolate cake was heavenly!
I did have a stab at tracking and the calories might have been ok if I had been able to exercise more but my arthritis was playing up this afternoon. But as I’ve mentioned before I don’t need to lose weight so a few hundred calories is no big deal.

@MaltedTea Funny you should use the word “stoic” – I caught part of a discussion on the radio earlier this week where stoicism (the original ancient philosophical school) was being discussed and it resonated with me. I have also been reading a book describing some of the teachings of the Dalai Lama, and found that useful.
One of the unexpected effects of the pandemic has been a much greater discussion about mental health, in particular dealing with loss and grief. So many stories even worse than ours. I am working on it.

Just 45 mins of yoga today, calories and tracking good.

February: Level passed. 🤗

I weighed myself after the catostrophic number of calories I ingested yesterday and let’s just say I’m not logging that weight today 😂

I did not lose a ton in February - only 3.5lbs (totally disregarding today’s weigh in which had me losing nothing 😂). Trying to figure out what I did so differently in January since I lost 8lbs in Jan - or if it’s just my body hitting a small plateau. Either way I plan on stepping it up in March. It’s my month! (People abbreviate Maryann down to “Mar” and March down to “Mar” so in my brain it’s always me for the month. Lol. Also clovers are always everywhere and four leaf clover finding is my jam.) Anyhoo - I digress - my point is I figure if it’s “my” month, I should probably kick some booty. I’d like to see the 170’s (186 currently). I think it’s doable!

@lesdarts180 Let's be philosophy nerds together 🤓 I'm circling around the school of thoughts generated by Artistotle's contribution to "first principles"

---|---|---|---
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | Bret Contreras' Strong Curves "At Home Workout" (30), Stretching (15) TOTAL: 45 min
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base + 231
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES
---|---|---|---

Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (40%)? YES | 40%
Pass Days Used: --

Ending the month at my newfound ideal macro spread for the day (40 protein/40 carbs/20 fat), which I hit once before this month. Just find there's less brain fog at this spread and, my word, I could do with less of that in life lol

I typically look at accomplishments every first of the month, but if I'm to think of one now, it's the fact I didn't use a single pass day this month.

See you in March, everyone!

I hope its OK to post a “scale victory”, I will only do it once a month.... my scale victory is that I am down 5 pounds this month! Slow and steady wins the day... see everyone on the March thread!

Tomorrow is my hubby's birthday went out for an early bday dinner with our daughter and son in law.
I ate healthy. But should probably still call it a pass day. Had a few splurges. Not big ones tho .
Congratulations to all the winners.
