Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, lots of walking around Niagara Falls and area today - 87 minutes intentional walking and many more steps above that
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? No
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, although some of it was very loose estimates
I have had a pass day every day this month so I'm out for Winners Circle but of course I'll still be here every day
@Mrs_Hoffer Lovely post and I couldn't agree more with everything you said!
For me, tracking gives me the data I need to feel confident about the choices I make. If I wasn't weighing and accurately entering my food, I'd have no idea what I had left to eat, and left to my own devices I can easily overeat. So, honest and proper tracking allows me to be clear on what I can and can't eat for the rest of the day. As I don't really have any other food rules aside from that, my success completely hinges on my tracking.
This is the most days I've been outside plan since I started. I knew I'd be eating at maintenance but I'm averaging slightly over for this vacation. There were way more occasions of bigger meals that I was expecting, and at the start it was almost more sedentary than I thought. So, I guess what I'm taking away from this is that things are in some ways harder on trips when that urge to celebrate (with my husband, friends, or family) is there.
The good thing about tracking as honestly as I can throughout it (like tonight, for example.. when I knew I'd eaten a ton of food and thought for a second it didn't matter if I entered it in and then thought.. wait a second, sure it does) is that at least I know what to expect... I can get my mind straight that it's worse or better than I thought and be factual about it at least.
Anyway - we fly home in under 48 hours and being on track at home is what I do best so I will be curious on Thursday to see how my weight has behaved and to move forward from there.6 -

Exercise β yes, bike ride, gym and cardio.
Tracking β yes
Calories β yes
I still track my food even after nearly 3 years maintaining. I can estimate fairly well after all this time (Iβve been at this for about 50 years on and off!). But maintaining involves lots of up and downs so itβs good to be able to get a grip on things quickly after a holiday. Iβm still learning new things and these days I like to track my calcium (diagnosed with osteoporosis) which is a new thing for me.

Expect to see a big spike in weight after the flight home - but don't panic or over-react - just get back to your usual routines and it will drop off over a few days. You will probably find you only gained a pound or two when the dust has settled.4 -

Pass Day 2οΈβ£
exercise & tracking β β
food/ slightly high
Diagnosed with osteoporosis today. Despite walking and hiking daily since my last test which I thought was 2 years ago, but was 4 years ago (I think Dr & I postponed it due to COVID outbreak) my left and right hips as well as my arm have lost a large percentage of bone mineral density- startling really.
Iβm sure itβs due to my kidney meds. And last I checked I canβt do the medicines for osteoporosis due to other kidney-related reasons.
So I ate an extra 14 grams of raw almonds lol
Such a splurge hahah but hey Iβll bounce back. Spent several hours researchingβ¦. βTake action or relaxβ
The weird thing is doctor sent it with no note. The action I take might be getting a new doctor. This test should have been done sooner. Missed a few other things too.
My husband put it best. (We both seen this guy for decades). βIβm thinking heβs a great doctor if you donβt have serious medical issues.β
I need a doctor who Wants to figure out whatβs up & can advise/decide when competing ailments conflict.

I must end with 3 Gratefuls
1. My totally committed, uplifting, kind & loving husband. β€οΈ
2. Our wonderful son (and wife) who has been a continual joy his whole life. π»
3. That I received an excellent kidney match & am doing great π©ββ€οΈβπβπ©
4. Ok have to add a couple more. That I am able to maintain my weight & my exercise
5. That I have successfully developed an art practice that makes my heart sing. π¨π§΅
As recently as early January, I almost gave up & then it all clicked!! π

April 4 report: β β β (exercise - 10 mins arm exercises and 15 + minutes deliberate walk in the fresh air ... where are all the hills / slopes / stairs?!?! Oh yeah ... a 7 hr plane flight + 1 hr car drive away on the other side of The Pond ... the terrain is sooo FLAT around here in comparison. That's what I get for living at what was once the bottom of a primeval sea. And not in an Edwardian Manor-house (at the top of the hill) with 10 foot ceilings - aka 17 steps in the flight of stairs between the ground and upper floors )
Monthly report: βββ β
Was back to the office and the more usual work-day routine today after 2 wks away. It's not easy when your mind and body are (still) convinced that you are getting up at 10:00 am / working 1:30 - 9:30 pm / eating supper ~ 11:30 pm ... while ALL the clocks are INSISTING that you are getting up at 5:00 am / working 8:30 - 4:30 / eating supper ~ 6:30 pm
I figure that internal and external time-sense will finish re-syncing by the end of the weekend ... π€π€
