Yes, yes, and barely yes on exercise.
I am going on vacation next week, leave Wednesday morning for 8 days. Do not expect to be able to exercise and/or log in consistently, so probably will not make the winner's circle this month. However I will do my best when I can.11 -

@MaltedTea I too exercise to be able to eat.
I got on the scale today and I’m holding steady at a total weight loss since January of 15 pounds. That happened on UAC maintenance but my Arizona season life is more active than my Illinois lifestyle.
Today’s activity was huge: over 3 hours of nonstop movement including stairs, lifting and lots of walking
Calories: under my limit
Tracking: good10 -

Pass Days remaining:1
THANK YOU for your hugs & words of support!
For those of you wondering about maintenance, this is how it is for me. Long stretches where everything goes smoothly, then a hiccup, I take notice, I reaffirm my desire to be healthy, I make a specific plan, and I do it & then have a long stretch again of pretty easy maintenance.
Maintenance, for me, is facing the behavior that needs improvement head on as fast as I can.
✅Exercise: lovely uphill/downhill sunset hike with son & husband! 1:12 hr 10,200 steps (would have been 90 minutes but our parking was going to expire!)
✅Calories: under - just
Keep salt 🧂 down until dinner.
⬆️ For the day. Had my first restaurant or takeout meal in 477 days. Takeout from our son’s favorite Mexican restaurant on his last night of his stay. I had skipped it the other two times
(We might hike later in month with him, but this was a special night.)
I stopped mid-bite 🎉 & packed up the rest.🎉
I put back nuts & chocolate after dinner (to meet my goal from yesterday.)🎉
I figure I can eat out once every ~ 500 days! 😁
I’m very happy to have been moderate. I can see how much I’ve changed these past 5-1/2 years!
🎉

The bad diet topic is perfect for me today. We were out most of the day. I ate my leftover steak for breakfast, had a glass of wine and fries as a snack and then a dinner of wedge salad, ahi tuna sashimi and a lot of wine. Exercise was a bit low today but I did spend about an hour and half in the pool when we got home. I was moving the entire time to stay warm. I feel quite relaxed now so I think I'll sleep well tonight. Tomorrow I'll be back to healthy eating.

I got my exercise in on my rest day with a morning yoga session and coaching kids Jiu Jitsu (it was only 4 kids and 2 coaches so not a high energy one for me) but I got totally off track and didn’t log food so pass day 2 for me.
I did take mom grocery shopping though, first time she has been out of the house since I gave her COVID! Good to see her improving even if it is slow10 -
Today will have to be my first pass day 😭😭😭
Exercise: well I spent a good while on my feet decorating for my son's bday party and we played volleyball for about 30-40 minutes
Calories: I don't know exactly by how much, but today I know I definitely went over my calorie budget..
Tracking: nope. It was just too difficult to try and track everyday throughout the day during the party

Is it another fishing trip? 🎣 Your pics from the last one were great!3 -
I was debating saying yes to exercise yesterday but, yep, calling it good. I had 4 grandkids, aged 8 to 2, Friday night and all day Saturday. On Saturday they helped me cook dinner - it was one of those kits we’re doing together from time to time - so all that activity plus playing outside, and up and down stairs, etc. I was worn out, but so satisfied.
Tracked - yep. I calculated all of dinner in advance, (chicken Milanese, Italian bread, sides, gelato and biscotti) and ate accordingly the rest of the day.
Under - yep

@SModa61 - I love today’s reflection and the article. I wish I’d understood this years ago. It drives me batty when I see articles like “so and so started running and lost 100 pounds, you can too.” So misleading!!!
@WhatMeRunning - I can relate to this, although your mileage far exceeds anything I’ve done. I wish I’d tracked my food when I trained for the Chicago marathon. While I did lose some weight, i would have benefitted from fueling my body better.
@Chinkiri - “A lovely day! Lots of gratitude for all today's nice things, including the opportunity to wear my swanky, letterbox-red dress to the concert - it fitted, a close fit, but that works OK with this dress.”
You brought a smile to my face with this.
@donna25trinity - we should start a Heather Fan Club. It was only recently when she was talking about binge eating that I finally put together that deprivation only guarantees a binge sooner or later. It was a moment I wanted to slap my forehead wondering why I didn’t realize that before. Good for you for enjoying yourself and managing the calories.
