First day back at the gym without a mask requirement for fully vaccinated people. It was weird. But liberating? But weird. I kept expecting someone to pop out of no where and yell at me. They didn’t. So weird.8 -

@Mrs_Hoffer - I’m so sorry to hear about your friends son. I can’t even imagine.
Today was my first bike-to-work ride of the season. I try to do that at least once every week during the summer. It’s 23 miles each direction. I feel fine except my neck which hurts like crazy. This has always been an issue for me, but it seems worse tonight.
Exercise - pretty sure that’s a yes
Tracked - yes
Under - yes
Pass days used - 2/37 -
Three more yeses today. So I'm at the 20th and yes, I have 5 passes, but more importantly I have 15 days with no passes.
@Oh_Jackie @WhatMeRunning @Jana_2020 @Chinkiri thanks all for sharing thoughts on the contents of the daily threads. I appreciate it. I've added these notes, to my notes and will do my best to use all this advice.

Yes x 3. Bike ride6

Yes x 3.
After mixed news from the vet this morning, I came home and took a long walk to clear my head. I also did some yard work before the day really heated up. So, lots of calories burned--hopefully this offsets my lack of exercise yesterday.7 -
Yes, yes, and yes, a good day.
What kind of ideas are you looking for Rick? Something for your daily question/challenge/inspiration?3 -

Another not great day... it started with the best of intentions... I pretracked... but then overshot what I had preliogged. I think I need to get my head back in the game instead of in the apathetic state it’s in now... will keep trying... cheering everyone else on from the sidelines!6 -

@achagpar You overshot, but did you do better than you would have had you not pretracked? At what point in the day was the overshoot?
I have certainly had this happen, and sometimes, because I tracked, I still did better than I would have otherwise and that's a win. Other times.....ya, don't talk about it. Also, at the time you deviated from your plan, if it is early enough in the day, then try updating your tracking and see 1) that maybe its not so bad and you now prevent the mental spiral 2) if there another plan you can put in place for the remainder of the day that makes it the best it can be, even if it is not perfect. By having that whole plan in place, you can see where you distributed your calories and I have frequently "traded" a side dish, or after dinner treat, and even as extreme as my dinner for something I did earlier in the day. Having my starting numbers (ie pretracking) gives me a template.
Lastly, in the long run, mindfulness is more important than your calorie number as mindfulness is a habit that once established can later be applied calorie goals when the moment is right. Maybe focus on that for the moment and count any intentional mindful day as a "win". Positivity and feeling success may help your mindset.
Just thoughts.5
