Tracked - Yes
Within Calories - Yes
Exercise - No, I didn't want to push myself with activity since I'm still not feeling 100% after Thursday's pfizer booster. Happy that I'm feeling better than yesterday and perhaps by tomorrow I'll feel pretty much back to normal. Want to be able to meet my running partner Monday for a run so want to give my body plenty of time to rest and recover from my reaction to the shot.

And today's going to be another one as we head off to a Christmas Brunch.

@SummerSkier I like your opener. I have been thinking about this month like when I am procrastinating from doing work. Like @jamcnewman said, being in limbo is the worst. Sometimes I just need to give myself a stern talking to from procrastination and get back to work. But sometimes I need to recognize that my brain is telling me I really need a break - and actually take that break and enjoy that break and then return to work refreshed. The worst is when I can't tell which is it is, and I keep sternly talking to myself while continuing to procrastinate and I don't get work done or rest done and wind up feeling terrible about myself and not rested at all.

I think in terms of weight loss this month, I do need to just embrace the procrastination, to a limited extent, and enjoy the days off.

Today is one of those days off. I have already planned out my food for breakfast (at 7), lunch (at 11), and dinner (at 5:30). We're also having a Christmas Brunch at 2pm, which is pretty close to my usual afternoon snack time (3pm), but not a mealtime at all. I am just going to embrace the pass day and enjoy having nibbles of what I want to nibble. I've planned my meals as normal (a little on the light side) because I think that will set me up for best success of remembering I am there to enjoy seeing people and not for the food. Also that the food will make me sick if I eat too much of it. But I will definitely be over for the day - but I am going to enjoy it and not feel bad about it, because that is what works for me.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 40 minutes Peloton, 68 minutes walking
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Back in the morning to read more of your posts.

I'm so guilty of this in the past! "Oh I'm over my calories. Oh well back on it tomorrow might as well order a giant cheeseburger" "well I can just restart in January right? December is a write off".

I've been much better this time round. So for example I know I'm going to have lots of pass days in December with Christmas and multiple birthdays. So I decided to lower my calorie goal for the whole month by a couple of hundred calories to mitigate the damage and my aim is to minimise the pass days and not use them as go crazy days.
