@snowshoe072 - “life does have a way of throwing a curve ball we can either move or get hit, I prefer to keep moving.” Wow this is such a good analogy! You’re brilliant.
My curve ball was yesterday. Woke at 3 am unable to get back to sleep because my brain was chugging out “to do” lists for work. At 4:30 I gave up trying and got up, which did give me time to do a Classical Stretch workout, badly needed after the strength workout the day before. Then at a daughters house at 6:30 am to watch her kids until 9 (this was unplanned). Then after work went to a bar/restaurant to run a trivia game with another daughter. I didn’t get home until 9:30. Made some poor food choices mostly because I didn’t plan well. Ended up about 200 cals over, which actually isn’t too bad. I was tempted to make another bad choice late at night but remembered what @RangerRickL said about pass days not being an excuse to completely blow it, plus knowing how much I’d regret it in morning.

Yes x 3. Took a long walk and did a 20 minute core workout to compensate for the total lack of exercise yesterday. It felt good to get out of the house and let my brain take a break from worrying. My sweet dog seems to be on the road to recovery, thank goodness. I appreciate all the well wishes.
Also, I turned in my final grades this morning and put this horrible academic year to bed! Still some long days of meetings to get through, but I'll make it.
So glad to hear that the pup is doing better!1 -
Posting "the morning after".
Yesterday finished well. Headed out after dark (my favorite time if I am going to add any running) and did a mostly run, 4 miles. Tracked and planned well. 3 x yes Not taking a 4th pass....yet!
@lesdarts180 Yes, we need to live each day to our best as it is so unpredictable.
@whatmerunning @maltedtea @donna25trinity @thabit11 @lesdarts180 Thanks for the well wishes. Today, the 7th seems better but not perfect. I did a internet search on seasonal allergies and stomach ache and bam, histamine from pollen can cause stomach ache, in particular Birch Pollen. We have two huge birch trees in the yard. Going to play with that concept today (the 7th) and see. @thabit11 I'll keep the tea concept in mind. I have lots of tea in the house here.
@higa2021 You have gotten lots of great answers already. I'll just chime in with my own life. I had 5 months of winners circle, or very close and a champion. Then March I had 18 pass days and for April, I think it was 13. I am still here. May was supposed to be a "come back" and winner's circle, then life brought surprises. I'm at 3 passes already. Still will try for winner's circle, but will certainly be a greater challenge. But you never know unless you try. On a related note, last month a couple members (sorry not recalling who ATM) were discussing counting their non-pass success days as a way to keep their motivation going. It was an excellent suggestion.

Have been sleeping badly all week. Forgot that I didn't have spare calories until after I ate the 2 mini cookies and didn't exercise them off.
