Amazing how it can be SO difficult for weeks/months &
Then *poof* it’s easier again.
Hopefully, over time, I’ll figure it out more!
Decided to use US Thanksgiving as a Pass Day. We’re gonna do our traditional Thanksgiving meal with my dad❣️6 -

We are in a horrendous blizzard here. All roads and highways into our city are shut down. Husband had to pick the puppy up at the new groomer’s and it should have taken 7 minutes to get there from the University where he works. 2.5 hour later he arrived. Then the travel home. We are tucked up at home and will probably be storm stayed for a bit. We have everything we need 🥰
For today doing my final exercise now; tracking and calories ✅✅

@mshawski - sounds like you need to learn to sew! As of you had time, right?
@jamcnewman - I knew you lived far north but wasn’t aware there was a blizzard. I’m sure you’re more than able to ride it through. We haven’t had any measurable snow yet which is pretty unusual. One of the benefits of being retired is knowing I don’t have to be on the roads when it’s storming. Stay safe

Tracking: Calories:
I have gradually transitioned to weighing more and more items, rather than just measuring them or using the generic size equivalent with fruit. One thing that I eat nearly every day, but had still been measuring, is oatmeal. Well, what an unpleasant surprise when I weighed it this morning The 150 calorie/40 gm serving size is NOT a half cup, but considerably less.
That's what I discovered the hard way (weigh) when I first got a kitchen scale. I honestly thought I was faithfully recording how much popping corn (AIR POPPED ONLY) I was having for my evening snack, and staying within limits ..... 50 grams was NOT what the package was saying was an equivalent VOLUME!
I felt beTRAYed, I tells ya .... beTRAYed!!5 -
@biketheworld - I have limited sewing skills but it was always something I wanted to learn as I have always been really intrigued by sculptors who use textiles in their work. Bonus point: It would also be nice to be able to alter things so I don’t always look like I’m wearing a tent. Lol. I should look into learning sooner rather than later.
Or maybe I should learn metal smithing so I can make my own rings. 😂6 -
Feeling much better today (didn't turn into a full fledged cold after all)
Exercise:
TWO exergame sessions PLUS a healthy-length outdoor walk for a total of over 12000 steps
Logging: all done, including a different breakfast - applesauce and raisins stirred into quick-cooking oatmeal.
In Limits: barely touched any of the exercise calories at all (and that's AFTER dropping my target intake level by 50 ... I am pretty sure the "second honeymoon period" has practically run its course) 5 -

Closed my food diary under calories, but then nibbled on smoked salmon and prawns. Barely walked 20 minutes, probably under.

@enlightenme3 Good job on exercising beforehand, these are differences I notice in myself now too - old me wouldn't have even considered that and new me thinks "how can I make this work?" I had a similar type of experience earlier this month when I was donating blood - knew exercising after was out of the question so made sure I got it in first thing. Hope the COVID booster isn't causing too much trouble for you
Did I exercise? Yes, 35 minutes Peloton and 41 minutes walking
Did I track it all? Yes
Did I stay under calories? Yes

What’s the opposite of a NSV? A fail?
I got extra unplanned 15 minutes cycling yesterday. (Not leaving my phone at the supermarket this time.) I set off on my bike up the hill behind my house, circled round down into town, a nice 40 minute ride through the countryside, popped into the little supermarket and picked up some things. Got to the checkout, scanned everything through the self-service till, opened my bag …
… no wallet! Had to explain to an assistant, put all my items back in the basket, cycle home, collect wallet and cycle back to collect and pay for shopping.

Happy to report that there is a real reason for the pants being even looser this month — down another 6.6 pounds for a total of 35 pounds GONE since I started on this journey July 1, 2021. 🥰
Amazing work. Xo4 -

Finished organizing the craft area and have lots of empty bins. Still have the scrap booking stuff to go through. But I may just finish Christmas craft I found in this process 😃. I am feeling so good about the changes I am making in the house. I even emptied the catch all cabinet that housed everything that did not have a place.
Ohhh good for you.i always admire ppl that can deckutter. I keep a super tidy house but I really struggle decluttering.. I just can't seem to throw things out. Xo3 -
