@SModa61 - you’re doing a great job and I especially appreciate all the time and thought you put into each days question or thought.
Your question has me thinking about my oldest daughter who struggles with her weight and has terrible food habits. She and I are very close but even so, I know that she has to be the one to bring it up and want to change. She is making so many of the same mistakes I’ve made and it kills me to see it. But your question makes me realize I want to be ready to have a good talk when she is ready.

@MadisonMolly2017 I love the idea of dividing the day into quarters. I do something similar with my steps and walking and it works well for me. I try to make sure I have 3k steps by 10am; and 6k by 2pm; 9k by 6pm in order to ensure I can get my 10k or 11k for the day. I also try to take two walks a day during the weekdays, one in the morning and one in the evening. On the weekends I can go for longer walks. But your idea is an excellent way to look at "blowing it" throughout the day.

@smoda61 I think your prompts each day have been very thought provoking. Keep it up!
While I don’t have anything to share in response to that, I do have to say @MadisonMolly2017 I like your idea of how to not throw in the towel!
I once heard this analogy- that if after you realize you’ve gone over your calories for the day, you just have an eating frenzy would be like discovering your car has a flat tire and then going and sticking a nail in the other 3!7 -

What advice to share to someone just starting on this weight loss journey? I think I would ask if they have tried to lose weight before and did they ever get to their goal before. If not, and if this was a pattern of trying and falling off the wagon, I would share my story. The 2 biggest things I've learned are first this is a lifestyle change, there is no going back to the lifestyle that landed me here. And the second one was that I was self-sabotaging. I had to get a book on it, work through why I do it (in my case binge) and what my triggers are, and then come up with techniques and replacement behaviors.

Food was an odd hodgepodge collection of what I grabbed while doing other things but I was under calories. May investigate a bath to soak my poor legs. They’re still so angry. Lol.
Another “date night” is on the books this weekend, but I’m hoping not to use a pass day for it since next weekend we’re traveling to my in-laws for their 50th wedding anniversary and I’ll have little control over food when there. Trying to plan ahead. This weekend’s family date night is becuase our kiddo heard my mom say she was glad hubs and I got time alone this past weekend and had such a great dinner in front of kiddo, so he took that as we had a nice dinner out becuase he wasn’t with us and that’s what made it nice. He got so sad about it 😭. We tried to assure him that wasn’t at all the case and now we’re taking him out for fancy Saturday to prove we still have a lovely time with him around. He’s very excited, and asked to wear his bowtie on our family date 😂😍.11 -

@SModa61 Thanks for keeping our team on track. I appreciate you and your sacrifice to take the wheel.
I'll jump back in after the weekend.
Like you, at home, we are dealing with lots of home transition issues. It's a very emotional ride as we prepare to move from our home of 28 years.
Exercise: active stretching; walking; and a half day full of stair climbing; lifting; sorting and carrying the first wave of furnishings from the house.
Tracking: good
Calories: Under my limit, and I got to have pizza.11 -

Another pass day. I took a nasty spill on a walk yesterday and am completely bruised. Couldn’t exercise. Ate too many calories. Will try to get some walking/low impact/gentle workout in tomorrow.
Passes used: 27 -
Yes x3 today
Tomorrow will be a pass day due to eating dinner out. But before then I'll be taking 30 students to an outdoor adventure ropes/climbing tower/Zipline course and participating myself, so at least I'll have lots of exercise! It's supposed to rain all day, so here's to hoping I can keep the kids' attitudes positive!6 -

3 YES day. After a long day of work meetings starting at 7:00am, I shut down the laptop early and took an hour long walk around the neighborhood while listening to a podcast. It was a good day.6

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES, Managed about 10 minutes of Zumba, but too much heal pain and too much out of breath to keep up. I guess I was being overly optimistic when I chose an hour session. 🤣 Other than that I got a 34 min, 1.68 mile walk in this evening.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES5 -
@MadisonMolly2017 Any chocolate recommendations?
I have obviously blow my opening question today. Two for two are interpreting it that I am seeking advice for this exact woman. As I replied to Chinkiri's concerns, my intent was that the ideas could actually be helpful for our newest members or those struggling. I should have omitted the story that got me thinking and that gave me the prompt idea. It's looking like this opener is going to be an epic fail.
Not a fail at all! I didn’t interpret as just helping her. I was looking at the larger issue. … what could anyone have done to get me to “wake up”sooner? I think it was incredibly thought-provoking & you are doing an AMAZING JOB! @SModa61 ❤️❤️❤️6 -
