    Exercise? Yoga
    Under calories? Yes, 1,400 max
    Tracked meals? Yes
    Pass Days? 2/3

    Water goal? No
    Apple Cider Vinegar? Yes

    I'm not sure of my why. So, I can't really define my how. I've been searching how to implement a good diet. Every time I read an article, the healthy food list gets shorter and shorter. Today my how is yoga and low cals.

    Excellent!

    Have to correct. The day turned into the 2nd pass day due to the late appetite 😊

    Exercise: 20 minutes of resistance bands with my 6 year old from his "Handee Band" book. Probably not a lot of actual movement in those 20 mins, but I'm still going to count if for effort.
    Tracking: Pre-planned the day, though not until the morning. Estimated for leftover Chinese food takeout (which I wasn't going to eat but then there were some dumplings nobody else wanted so I had to eat them - ugh). Then tracked the nibbles I had later
    Calories: Under
    It was really on the edge of a pass day, but I'm going to give myself the success.

    How I do it. Currently:
    - Try to make meals 100-200 calories of protein, 100-200 calories of healthy (whole grain or vegetable) carbs, and a whole giant heap of low-carb vegetables, and keep the calories in the sauce limited. Been following basically that template since I started losing weight - I started with that rather than counting calories, but it was 3oz protein and 1/2 cup healthy carbs.
    - Pre-plan my day at a few hundred calories under my goal of 1650, and then track any nibbles I come up with throughout the day (or staying at the deficit would also be fine...)
    - Try for 3 kinds of exercise most days a week: 15 minute MommaStrong D15, 20 minutes of stretching (including PT assigned stretches), at least 20 minute walk. Very minimal, but not nothing
    - Check in here every day - ideally on the computer in the am so I have time to think and write, and then on the pm on my phone to do more reading.
    - 1 treat every night before bed, no treats other times

    Not that I manage all of those every day, but that's my goal.
