Yesterday was a pass day! Definitely not the way I wanted to start the month but...we had a celebration because my son was accepted into a great school. I didn’t go crazy mad - just a few crisps (chips to some of you!) and a couple of glasses of wine over. Anyway, back on it today so all good!
@Dory_42 great to have you and your work stories back. I will think of you when I’m knee deep in spreadsheets tomorrow!
I loved reading all of yesterday’s entries, glad to see so many familiar “faces” and new ones too - welcome if you are new, I hope you find this group as great as I do.11 -

March 2
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? ✅
Attempted a run in my ankle brace and had to stop after a few minutes... injury is not healed enough
I am, however able to walk, which I did both at lunch and after work, and cycle which I also did after work. I miss my treadmill bootcamps, but don’t want to prolong the injury so I guess I will hold off on runs for another little bit.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? ✅ Didn’t even tuck in to the “exercise calories”!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? ✅
@TerriRichardson112 - Thank you for the lovely picture... it has been frigid here for the last day, the flower gives me hope for spring

I don’t know whether to laugh or scream about today...
It started off great! Got my cardio in. I am working in an accounting office doing mostly payrolls but we do tax returns. So this is busy season.
My boss decided he was buying donuts and lunch today. I skipped the donuts and managed to keep things within my calories.
A couple came in to pick up taxes today. After they got home, they called to tell us one of them received a voicemail while they were out that he tested positive for COVID. (I wasn’t exposed directly but why did they come in when they knew they were waiting for test results?)
I came home and decontaminated. I was taking clothes down the stairs to do a load of laundry and ... skipped a step. Nothing broken. Some scrapped skin just under my right knee and on the top of my foot, and what looks like the beginning of a nice bruise halfway down the shin.
Icing tonight. My goals might need to be revised.
But...

What a day! Great job staying within your calories and making healthy choices.
Terrible. They could have waited to pick up their taxes, they have plenty of time. Glad you took safety precautions.
Then the stairs 🤦🏻♀️ What a day! Ok. No more bad luck.
Look how well you did today! Three ✅✅✅ and no passes used. You did beat the day!

My 5 year old is generally disinterested in sharing his snacks with me, but tonight he went an extra step when I went to mindlessly reach for some of his popcorn he grabbed my arm and very seriously said, “your calories can’t handle anymore popcorn”.
Touché, kid. Touché. 😂🤣😂
Pushing how much this amused me aside - this is making me reevaluate how I speak about food and eating healthy in front of him, as well as some of the default self deprecating comments I make. So, something for me to think about tonight as I enjoy my tea and determine which book I’ll be starting with.
I hope everyone had a great day. ❤️14 -

Thoughts for daily calories goalI need to revisit how I am handling my daily calorie goal for maintenance as I am “failing” in that regard as I lost another 3 lbs while “maintaining” during this month. Having two variables of food calories and exercise calories is challenging for me. In the past I have lost and maintained with less significant exercise numbers so it was more a single variable. I do not want to drop back on exercise as I am doing it for overall health and fitness.
Just use MFP to calculate my maintenance calories/day. Nutritional needs are estimated at 1590, and it predicts that with exercise, I would need 1862 for 1 hour exercise for days/week. Average Apple Watch TDEE for February was 2126. Average calories consumed/day for February were 1686. With three pound loss over the month, to maintain, I would have needed an additional 375 calories/day for a total of 2073/calories/day. So, my thought for March is to consider my daily goal, 1590 plus daily exercise, but, for planning sake, I will expect that number to be around 1900 calories.

*** First pass of the month used. Very much worth the treat – Went to Square Grouper and started with a Key Lime Martini with graham cracker rim (sorry @RangerRickL not the pie), shared appetizers of Flash Fried Conch with Ponzu and Wasabi drizzle (amazing!!), and Ahi Tuna and Avocado eggrolls with Asian dipping sauce, then an entrée of Seared Sesame Encrusted Tuna with Jasmine rice and Asian slaw, and finished with a cup of coffee and a shared Strawberry Nutella Bread pudding with warm butter rum sauce. Though I may not make winners circle at the end of March, I fully intend to end a champion.
