@SusanElle813 I have to do this too as I am also horrible with eyeballing measurements. Olive oil was a big one for me, but now I use my Misto sprayer instead, such a calorie saver. I find I also need to weigh certain foods like pasta, cheese, chips, nuts, and meats. Before I was weighing food, I was easily having a double if not triple portion of pasta.5

@mshawski and @thabit11 thanks for the support. Maryann, as a former vegan, we may have to talk shop: there's probably some helpful innovations beyond flavored tempeh that happened in the past decade I should know about lol
@transparentenigma When MFP goes rogue, I use the data from my smartwatch. And when THAT goes rogue (like my skipping today), I use historical data from Google Fit. If it's a new exercise/activity, I'll go to Google as the last resort. In short, always have a backup plan to the backup plan when it comes to technology 🤷🏾♀️
@biketheworld You're running a half marathon while on vacation? Definitely sounds like you're better than good to go with healthy lifestyle choices. Have a fun run!
Oh, and I co-sign on @MadisonMolly2017's shared podcast tips, especially the one about prioritizing accommodations with a fridge (or better, a kitchenette).
Before Air BnB existed, that's the only way I would travel as dining out constantly does unpleasant things to my stomach which can mess up a vacation anyway 🥴 I'd to rather shop local and make what I can. If you want to gamify it a bit, you make your version of a local dish then go out to a restaurant and try the professional version.
Apparently, I'm to post as well? lol kk! Here's my late entry...

APRIL 2021 ULTIMATE ACCOUNTABILITY CHALLENGE

October 2, 2020 – 147.8 (-5.2)
September 14, 2020 – 153.0April has arrived and I am sitting here reflecting back on this month. It is the first month since September that I have closed the month with an “up”. That said, an up had to come at some point since at some point one is no longer trying/needing to lose weight, and I had passed my original goal back in January, I believe. The up on its own would be fine, but the habits, or lack thereof, that crept into my March are the concern. So, for the month of April, I will be focusing on returning to preplanning/pre-tracking as much as is possible and to not just thrown in the day it does not go as planned. I know that I know how to re-group and I need to make sure I find the time and energy for that. I want to up my cardio. Yes, I am “group walking” every day which burns calories, but honestly, I could walk at that pace for hours and hours without effort. I need to push myself, here and there, again. I will also be trying to maintain the social aspect of the group walks as well, so juggling all those time commitments will take a little focus. Lastly, I need to return to adding back exercises. I have not planked in a month, and rarely done exercises other than walking, running, or biking. So I need to figure out how to include bodyweight or dumbbell workouts. Here’s to April.April History
