Pass day. Travel home, so no exercise either. I got on the scale this morning and - oof. Lots of damage to be undone. Oh well, back to it now.

Pass day. More walking than I have done since tracking my steps (so, years). And I did stretch. But in terms of food on my last day of vacation I kind of ran out of motivation to think healthy? And made some very bad choices that were delicious. On my way home today and tomorrow back on track.

Pass day. Still on vacation in NYC. Lots of walking but nothing else. I am inspired by all of your plans to get back on track. For me that will happen on Thursday. My food scale also stays out all the time- but it did not come to NYC with me.

Pass day. Lots of walking and I did some stretching too. Calories not tracked and definitely over, made some better choices and some worse ones. Enjoying my vacation with my family.

@Mrs_Hoffer thanks for the acknowledgment of my NSV and best wishes for your son. Pass day yesterday. Lots of walking and I stretched too. No tracking, definitely over calories.

Pass day. Traveled on my vacation. Now in NYC. I did exercise 15 minutes before we left, but did not do the other two. My NSV is I am finding myself thinking “how can I fit in some movement?” and “how can I make this meal as healthy as possible?” Traveling with kids to visit family for holidays means very little control.…

I wrote more and lost it. Yesterday was another pass day. Off to NYC today.

Pass day. Exercised, tracked 90% of what I ate, but a little too nibbly with the car snacks my wife got for the kids for our trip tomorrow. Probably just a little over. Trying to be honest about it.

April 12 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minutes walk, 5 minutes stretching Tracking: Pre-planned the day Calories: Followed the plan @StayFITTer a great opener. In general, preplanning the day makes it pretty easy - just follow the plan and it goes well. I have also discovered that it is key to have just the right…

April 9 I am someone who deserves to take care of herself. Every day I track my calories and stay under my number. Every day I try to fit in 3 types of intentional movement - MommaStrong, walking, and stretching, with a goal of doing each one at least 4x a week. Yesterday was another pass day. My mom is visiting and…

Thanks @bookieNJ. I do know that you can get whatever food you want in NYC, and so it probably seems like worrying what I am going to eat there is absurd. The whole problem is that I will be with family and not always able to get what I want vs. what they want due to time constraints because of supervising children and…

4th pass day

I am planning a 5 day trip away with my family in 1 week, to NYC. Our plan is to do a lot of touristy sightseeing as well as seeing family. And we will be eating mostly takeout food. I need a plan for how this won't derail my weight loss entirely. But I also don't want to spend as much energy as I usually spend on weight…

Weds April 7 Another pass day - making 3 - I had hoped to make it through the first week at least! But oh well. I at least feel good that none of these pass days have been me going and busting through all the rules. Just technical passes. Exercise: None. 30 minutes stretching (during a work meeting) - but I had made a rule…

Pass day #2. I was all on track and then my 10 year old had insomnia which meant I was not sleeping and I was hungry again and I ate.

3 yeses!

Sun April 3 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 30 minutes stretching Tracking: Planned ahead, followed the plan (well, I decided to switch lunch and dinner but that still counts) Calories: Under Congratulations to all the champions, and thanks for the congratulations, everyone. Checking in here helps so much!
-
April 2 Exercise: 20 minutes stretching, 1.5 hours walking (with my 10 year old, but she kept up a good pace) Tracking: Pre-planned it all, adjusted as necessary. Even planned out the coffee shop treat with my daughter Calories: Under Pass days so far: 1 Feeling good about being on track, and today should be another good…

@Jana_2020 wishing you well with this. I hope everyone remains as healthy as possible through the ordeal. We'll be here when you're ready to focus on this again - but I do understand de-prioritizing at the moment!

@lodilas I'm a big fan of slow and steady :smile: and I recently changed my calorie goals to account for average exercise for the same reason. I think if you're doing some major athletic endeavor a few days a week you need to make sure to eat to fuel your exercise. But if you're like me and do more or less the same thing…

April 1 Starting off with a pass day :/ No exercise - difficult day at work and with my 6 year old, and I had a headache all day (related) so I just ran out of time. Tracking - I mostly followed the plan I had set but deviated a bit. Just now I went back and fixed what I deviated - even recording the 3 peanut butter…

March 31 Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong. Walking and standing around outside for work for several hours. Got almost 6,000 steps so probably equivalent to a 40 minute walk? Tracking: Tracked everything but I ate out for lunch so it was a total estimate Calories: Right on target by my estimation, but who knows Weight…

Hi everyone! I'm Caroline, returning for my 8th month of MFP. I am turning 42 in April. My journey with weight loss began with a weight gain in college, and then losing it with weight watchers shortly after. I then maintained that weight loss for about a decade until getting pregnant. My first pregnancy, I was very sick…

I just joined again for my 8th month of UAC. This is such a helpful and inspiring group of people. They have helped me in my weight loss and also just taught me how to have healthy habits for life. I think this group is the best part of MFP for me (yes, even better than the tracking!). I highly recommend it. Also just a…

@Mrs_Hoffer just wanted to confirm that April 27 works for me. Thanks for organizing.
