YES to the triple power Just found out school closure will last till June so won't reopen for this school year... Distance learning is a cinch for me but hard on students... I did a lot of stress walking indoors.

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? NO Hormonal cravings for that time of the month. Last day to cheat before I get serious about April... Track? YES

Bravo zulu!!!

Newly purchased size zero corduroy fits comfortably for this petite 4'11" frame (please don't judge as still going for doctor's goal). I used to be obese on the Asian American bmi chart and wearing size 12.

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Track? YES

No, I don't expect this newbie to be in the winner's circle this month because I exceeded the 3 passes by 2 more. I consider March this newbie's training month. Hopefully, I'll make it to the winner's circle for my birthday month April. Exercise? YES I did just enough to cancel out my excess calories. Calorie budget? YES…

Exercise? YES Triple than usual... I needed 3 long stress walks today and my feet are throbbing. My empathic and introverted self had to deal with a close friend's covid meltdown so that I'm exhausted mentally and emotionally. It ended well but lots of energy expenditure for me. Calorie budget? YES Track? YES

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES 3rd day doing I.F. and breaking fast with protein instead of fats and carbs (avocado toast my favorite) to avoid double insulin spike. Resulted in breakthrough of my plateau and 5.6 lbs away from middle range of normal bmi on Asian American bmi chart. Unexpected result, munchies monster…

Yes agree! Good idea but I like reading the tardy people too...

1. Victory: good weighed in today, 6.3lbs to go! 2. Challenge: More indoor time with covid mandate so near fridge all the time calling my name. I'm connecting with broader circle of friends online and phone and learning new programs to keep busy distracting myself. 3. I did a quick online research and found I.F. will help…

Yesterday I truly enjoyed an amazing online graduation celebration - super fun!!! Zoom is a cool online tool. Ladies from my bible study of celebrate recovery book 1 graduates. I played the graduation march while announcing their names and they cheered just like it was a stadium. For book 2, it's important to build their…

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Also successfully I.F. day Track? YES Super busy day learning new programS online but glad I'm a late gen X latchkey kid prepped for it because also got beginning of internet age so adaptable. God is amazing... for such a time as this! P.S. I accidentally posted this in yesterday's date.…

Oops my post was for 3/25... losing track of days being inside so much and no real deadlines...

YES Super busy day learning new programS online but glad I'm a late gen X latchkey kid prepped for it because also got beginning of internet age…

This is the BEST encouraging and team accountability thread in mfp! My Reasons to be UAC lifer... 1. Simple measurable daily goals to set a healthy lifestyle (For me, I've only had 1st month of practice but still going after making it a lifestyle like our fearless seasoned leader Ranger Rick) 2. Gracious rules but not…

Yep, most I've done in one day since the order to stay at home. And it was the most stressful day since day one. My extrovert loved ones were freaking out needing extrovert attention from me (empath and introvert so extremely draining) so put out several of their emotional fires. On top of that dealing with my own shock of…

Stress walked 26k steps inside my home rather than stress ate

Oopsie... typos... Putting out fires (emotionally) I'm an introvert because that is how I recharge

1. Exercise? YES Self care of lots of stress walks today putting our fires of loved ones freaking out or needing extrovert attention... draining for this extrovert and empath 2. Calorie budget? YES 3. Track? YES Finally stopped work at 830pm and started at 6pm learning several new online programs. I'm exhausted but logging…

Exercise? YES Double today due to many short stress walks. Stress from not knowing school district expectations of new online program. The program isn't challenging but I need to know deadlines of expected products. All the lessons are canned so not confident it will hold students engagement but I guess something is better…

Awesome lists and support suggestions, thanks for your thoughtfulness and altruistic nature! I'm proud of myself because I was doing at least 75% on your lists but love new ideas.

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES It really helped me to wear form fitting clothes that do not stretch so that I'm physically mindful when I'm full and think twice about having more calories. I am way more prone to the munchies monster when I'm living in my baggy pjs. Weird but true for me. Track? YES

1. Victory: I'm still in the normal bmi range of the Asian American bmi chart 2. Challenge: Munchies monster hounding me during this "safer at home" mandate 3. I learned that I need to not live in my baggy pjs because it tricks my mind into believing that I'm still little and can afford the extra calories. I put on my size…

Exercise? YES Double than yesterday Calorie budget? YES It helps me to not to live in my baggy pjs during this "shut in" time, rather at minimum put on my size 2p jeans so I'm aware of my figure and the uncomfortable but tiny muffin top when sitting to be more mindful of eating. Track? YES

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? NO I'm still a fledgling in training here in the uac. Munchies monster hounding me these day "safer at home" Track? YES

And just maybe parents will appreciate teachers more... especially parents of those that make it extremely challenging to teach the rest of the class while maintaining engaged interest, safety and peace. As a teacher, I do miss those sweet students that make it a joy to teach every day.

Exercise? YES Calorie budget? YES Track? YES Thanks to my encouragers and life saving inspirations @bold_rabbit and @BMcC9 🙌💕🌹🤛

Random guy at the park asked me How I was doing. When I was obese, no guy would stop to talk to me.

@bold_rabbit and @BMcC9 thank you again for your encouragement - you both inspired me to get off the couch to walk 110 minutes enjoying the sunshine after the rain let up! You're my life savers today pulling me up from the wallowing of disappointment. Many thanks and blessings to you awesome ladies!!!🏅🙌💕🌹
