Inspiring opener Julie, ty!! @jamcnewman
Went off the rails yesterday Mar 4 - hub bought ice cream drumsticks for a treat and for some reason I got it in my mind just to eat them up and get them out of temptation's way. Ofc this led to the whole day being out of control. Asked him nicely today (again!) to treat me with precut & washed veggies and fruit instead of junk. I swear sometimes the man likes to sabotage me. Self control is not my strong suit. Anyway back on track today: doing housework and feeling a sense of accomplishment by getting my world back under control. Planning to enjoy Sunday with some R&R quality time with the fam, and opening the windows for the balmy 62F weather that will be blowing in for the day to tease us with a taste of spring!
I may try this for the month also:

Friday March 4
✅✅✅
Big day for exercise! Trying out more types of exercise in my Apple Fitness+ and did Yoga, two different 10 minute dance workouts, two different mixed cardio workouts, and later in the day, a 40 minute walk in the snow before the sun set. Was exhausted and starting to feel quite sore by night. After a hot shower and some ifuprofen had the sleep of my life (posting this on Saturday).5 -

I’m pretty proud of the swimming because I got my first shingles vaccine yesterday and my arm was really sore but I worked through it instead of taking a pass and it wasn’t bad at all swimming laps!

Exercise? Yes
Tracking? No
Calories? No.
I met Cary Elwes tonight. He's handsome, charming, sweet, and funny. I also watched "The Princess Bride" in a beautiful art deco theater that originally opened its doors in 1930. There's a sense of bonding when you watch a movie with a couple of hundred like-minded people. It was almost how I imagine a showing of "Rocky Horror" would be (minus the bread, raincoats, and newpapers... hahahah!) No, I've never been to an actual showing of "Rocky Horror," but I've heard stories. Anyways, people were saying the lines with the characters, applauding as favorites came on the screen for the first time, and just generally having a ball. My daughters were with me, and due to my oldest girl's memory issues, for her it was like seeing the movie for the first time.3 -

@seilidhe I used to live in a city that did Rocky Horror every Fri/Sat night. Evidently they still do a couple of times a month. I've been 3-4 times and it was fun even though I didn't get involved participating outside of yelling a few key lines but there were always a handful of people who were up near the stage who did.2

@LazyBlondeChef
We have a theater here that does Rocky Horror once a month, with a shadow cast of locals acting out at the front of the theater under the screen. As I said, I've never been, but maybe one day.

It makes me think of balancing a checkbook. It’s something you must do to stay in control of your finances, why would tracking food/being mindful of your food intake at least be any different?
Thanks @StayFITTer, you hit the nail on the head!
Tracking was one of these things that resonated with me very much. Because I needed to track my expenses to stay in control of my finances. I need to have a spending plan to be in control so as not to go into debts.
When you are trying to pay off your debts, the first thing you need to know is how you are spending your money (tracking your expenses). After, you finish paying off your debts, you need a spending plan not to go back into debts.
I see a lot of similarities between the habits to keep your finances in control and the habits to take care of your health.
I pre-track daily. It allows me to adjust for things I like to eat for that day. I have been in maintenance for over 10yrs, pre-tracking gives me freedom. It is now a habit. I know when I am over spending/overeating and the consequences.
I built recipes and meals in MFP. I have a weekly dinner menu (inputs from my husband and children). This really helps the pre-tracking.
