@lesdarts180 I am so sorry to hear about what you and your family are going through. Praying for your son’s swift return home.
@RangerRickL Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I took pass day number 3 today..... two passes in three days! I have been rebelling a bit against my routine. I feel like garbage today from the excessive intake. Back to healthy habits tomorrow.
Doubtful I will be in the winners’ circle this month, but getting back on track will be a win for me.

@lesdarts180 I hope your son is able to leave the hospital soon to be with you all.
Today, I got my first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and have my 2nd dose scheduled. Happy because I can't wait to visit my family in Atlanta this summer. I took it pretty light today with a walk and scenic spin. Calories under (just) and tracked.4 -

Well under my calorie budget because yesterday's Covid vaccine has left me feeling pretty crummy today. Woke up with chills and fever in the night (I was shivering so hard, I woke up my husband!) Tylenol helped a lot. I haven't moved much today--just taking it easy and letting my body figure this out.7

MARCH 2021 ULTIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE
Start weight, March 1, 2021: 123.2March 1, 2021 – 123.2 (-3.0)
February 1, 2021 - 126.2 (-5.8); Tanita BF scale at 6 am 126.5 and 26%BF
January 1, 2021 – 132 (-3.6)
December 1, 2020 – 135.6 (-5.2)
November 6, 2020 – 140.8 (-7.0)
October 2, 2020 – 147.8 (-5.2)
September 14, 2020 – 153.0
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.

*** So while I have already gone negative on my passes and out of the winner’s circle, I am caught up with all my check-ins and though my formal tracking has been off, I have survived these past 4 days. Tuesday was 123.2, then went out to dinner and jumped to 125.2, had another off day and increased to 125.6, but this morning I am 123.8 and I do not mind that. It is 3:17 PM as I type this comment, and I just finished tracking where I am at for the day, so that I can finish strong today. Exercise has not been a daily issue lately. Tracking and total calories have been my challenge. My final post will go up later tonight once the kitchen is closed.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | 12k steps (??), Stretching (20) TOTAL: 20+ min
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | *Base + 92

* NOTE: Not counting any of the calories from 12,256 steps and only half the stretching calories
Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (40%)? NO | 30%
Pass Days Used: --Since my 40 lb KB is taking some getting used to, I've worked out my expected progression using a drop set approach with my 25 lb KB. However, I ended off the first week and then started the second week by advancing my workout progressions faster than expected.
The calendar has been adjusted as of MAR082021 to reflect that I may end up doing 8 sessions with only the 40 lb KB (not just 3, as laid out in the original plan). Still aiming for a 30 min PR by month-end.
The number in yellow indicates the number of minutes taken to complete the workout that day
