    May 18:

    Another one of those days...

    Exercise: Yes! 20 min indoor walking workout
    Track: nope
    Under calorie goal: nope

    Passes used: 5... officially out of the running for the winner’s circle. At this point, I’m just struggling to get myself back on track... have any of you realized how much of a head game weight loss is? You really have to have your head in the game... mine sadly has been stressed out with other things but if I can just hang on and try not to gain weight, I’ll be doing well....

    @achagpar I totally agree about the head game aspect. In my most recent weight journey, that has been with the UAC, my head was quite good until I hit maintenance. The challenge of finding stasis and the mental aspect of being ok with and those gains that you actually need to balance out any losses is a slightly different one than during the months of loss. Given that mental challenges can happen at any point, during losing phase or in the future maintenance, addressing the head game aspect in each of us is important in order to achieve life long success and habits. One thing that being in the UAC has helped with is that my stumbles are shorter lived, which is awesome.

    During this stressful stretch, is there any way you can find the time to pre-track? I have found that if I can deal with that short term "burden" of planning in advance, then the mental stress of "what am I eating next" is eased for that period of time I pre-tracked. I have pre-tracked as much as 10 days in the past (rare, but got me through). I also find that in the pre-track, I "steal" previous days by hitting "copy to" and select the next date. Also, feeling the success of even a single day, can remove that "failure" stress. It sounds like you have general life stressors going on, but if your diet piece can not add to your stresses it helps you twofold by helping your health and not adding more stress to everything else that is going on. Just and idea.

    Also, if the above is not pertinent, consider sharing with the group your dynamics and you might get some great feedback that helps you out. If you look at May 19, @winner_in_life put up a post this morning that may be beneficial to check out and work off of.

    "...and die happy". This what I thought at the beginning of the pandemic. We are all going to die.. Who cares whether fat or slim. :) In one year I was still on this side of the world but with more kilos... This is unbelievable was fear can do with a human

    I thought of two more acronyms today as I was typing my post here on MFP and commenting on others. HHD (Happy Hump Day!) and WFH (work from home!) I just had to pop back on here and share them because I didn't want any of y'all to have FOMO! :lol: (Yes, I'm sleep deprived today!)

    @_JeffreyD_ lol I see what you did there!
    @Bovaryoo I'd rather emojis too. This one can never be over used --> 🤷🏾‍♀️

    At my current place of work, we have an internal ability to chat. That said, we make up many acronyms because we're paranoid our IT Team does randoms audits of chat usage. An example of two...

    PITA (common parlance): pain in the (butt)
    P.A. (made up): professionally assertive

    Let's just say PITA and PA can be used interchangeably when it comes to the email requests (or follow ups) we send to colleagues outside of our team. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    ---|---|---|--
    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES | Post-vaxx trial walk (20) TOTAL: 20
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES | Base
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES |
    ---|---|---|---

    Personal Bonus: Did I meet my protein macro for the day (40%)? NO | 25%
    Pass Days Used: (MAY14)
