Dec 22
Exercise: ~35 minutes (ALL exergame) as the only way to close my fitbit 6000+ steps per day ring. I haven't decided whether to be glad or sorry that I only have the current plus one more title available in my current Regency Romance series available (then will have to wait 3+ months for the last 2 ) I can't read e-text and faux cross stitch or do my exergame at the same time like I can with an audio-book
Logged: everything
Within Goal: left all the (relatively few) fitbit activity credits "in the pot"

Just in from a 50 minute walk with the pup and my husband on a beautiful snowy night. Step goal reached π
We are on the road most of the day tomorrow, so I anticipate a low activity day.

I wasnβt able to exercise yesterday because we were travelling. Apart from the two hours in the car I never stopped moving from 7am until 8pm. I ate reasonably well with the options I had.
Breakfast - protein smoothie with strawberries and tsp of chocolate powder π
Lunch - ham & cheese bap. Gave the buttered bap to my son so I only ate the ham and roughly 30g of cheese.
Dinner - homemade bolognese (my husbands recipe so I know how to portion it). 1/2 c plus 1/2c cooked pasta. I had dinner quite early with my son so after he went to bed I joined the adults while they had their dinner but I only had 1 slice of garlic bread and a salad.
I managed to avoid all the snacks, crisps, chocolates etc⦠but i did have wine!
I donβt think I overate but I only loosely tracked.

Exercise: 45 minutes Pelotob, 44 minutes walk
Tracked: yes
Within goal: you bet, planned maintenance day and stuck to that
Pass days used - 1/3
I'm flipping between deficit and maintenance days as the month goes along and so far that's working well. The only thing it requires is for me to set the intention of which it's going to be beforehand. I am strict with myself on what the reasons are for choosing maintenance over deficit as I'd set a goal to enter 2022 in the 180s and so far I'm on track. The tough two days are ahead but I've got my two pass days left so things are feeling good from that perspective.4 -

Exercise - 1.5 hours walking with a friend and walking for work - some of it more like hiking
Tracking - Planned the day, adjusted the plan as necessary to allow for eating some exercise calories because I was super hungry after being out in the cold - but at least I had exercised so had some to eat
Calories - Under
@jamcnewman thanks for the words of inspiration. The solstice does give me a feeling of hope. And slow and steady is my way!3 -

Exercise: Not much, but I got it done--some exercises and 2 miles on the gym treadmill. It is hard to do much more cardio at the gym with a mask.
Tracking:
Calories: Kept it really low again today despite baking and cooking up a storm.
5 pass days taken, hoping to keep it to 8 this month.5 -

We will have a full house starting on the 23rd through the 30th. Although it is only a few more people, meal planning and having things for breakfast, lunch and snacks on hand means having a lot more food in the house. My older daughter eats well, but is a constant snacker. The younger daughter also eats well, but likes full fat versions of dairy (ricotta, mozzarella, milk, yogurt). With Christmas coming up, I feel like I have been to the grocery store practically every day.5 -
