    I haven't missed a day of tracking since I started doing it in Jan '22. Each morning I typically pre-plan and record what I am going to consume for the day. However, there have been some days when I did not pre-plan due to special events such as vacations, parties, travel, etc. On those days I logged what I ate at the end of the day and sometimes found that I went over my goal. Because I am more mindful than I used to be about what and how much I eat, I did not exceed goal by as much as I would have before my lifestyle change.

    Exercise: 20 minutes stretching, 40 minutes walking
    Tracking: Planned the day, followed the plan
    Calories: Under!

    I still have a bit of a headache so going to stretch instead of my usual MommaStrong. I hope to maybe get back to that tomorrow...

    Re: tracking. I've posted before that I lost the first chunk of weight by making template meals (by counting calories of various things) and then eating that. I didn't feel like I had time to track. And honestly, that went better than tracking is currently going. Because I am not tracking every day now, but I did eat the right way every day back then. What is more important than tracking is actually eating the right thing!

    But I find tracking very helpful and with MFP it really doesn't take much time. I track to make sure I am under calories, eat enough protein, and get the right amount of fiber (between 20-25 grams - I find if it's too little OR too much I will pay for it).

    Exercise? Yes
    There was a group run in the evening that I was anxious about but I showed up! I made the choice to break the overwhelm and burnout I've been in the last three weeks. I didn't do great at the workout and half-@$§€d the last part, but I still got a good amount of work in. Go me :)

    Calories? Yes!
    This is what I struggle with the most, so today was a good victory.

    Tracking? Yes

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, walking in front of tv
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
    Started texting with a friend and got later than I had wanted, but I still made myself get up and walk that 20 minutes.

    Regarding tracking, I can do ok or at least maintain for a little while not logging IFF I keep the same habits/mindfulness(?) of my eating. The problem is, when I'm not logging, I have a tendency to relapse to old (bad) habits and eat ALL the foods and not think about (or ignore) the fact that I'm eating way more than I should. I have a tendency to lie to myself too long and things get a bit out of control until I finally admit I really need to log.

    Exercise – yes
    Tracked – yes
    Calories – yes
    No pass days yet

    Catching up – I appear to have missed this day, I think it’s partly due to the frequent timeouts that are really bugging me now.
