Pass Day today, 3 Noes. I don't get cravings for specific foods very often, but when I do it's usually chocolate. Yesterday afternoon happened to be one of those times I craved chocolate. I had a 180 calorie Chocolate Deluxe Pure Protein bar which satisfied me. Better than getting into my DH the Scoutmaster's stash ofβ¦

3 Yesses but there was a lot of approximating when I tracked. Have already used more than 4 Pass Days so you know how that goes. π Exercise was a 30 minute walk with 1 lb hand weights (legs needed a rest from running). Then after the walk I used dumbbells for 5 minutes. I know 5 minutes isn't much, but hey, it's betterβ¦

The thing that I am still trying to master, is controlling the nibbling. That's what tripped me up yesterday. Thankfully it wasn't "junk" that I was eating, it was almonds, raisins, and dehydrated apples (DH got us a food dehydrator for Christmas). But even nutritious nibbles have calories and I did a little too muchβ¦

@tahm42, how terrible and scary! Of course it's not my place to say, but if a dog attacks like that I think you are right it should be put down. The bite sounds bad enough, but yes, the emotional scars can be worse. ((Hugs)) 3 Yesses Exercise - a 5 mile run πββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈπββοΈ

Awww, thank you, @jamcnewman ! :blush:

Since I've already used all my Pass Days, I went ahead and took Sunday off without feeling like I "had" to follow the 3 rules. I hope this doesn't make me look like a rebel or something! :D My 61 year old legs were happy to get a rest day after running 6 miles the day before, and despite not logging my food into MFP, I'mβ¦

Saturday Jan 15 Tracking and calories - No, DH and I splurged and got take-out teriyaki, tempura, & California rolls and I was too lazy to try logging it. :blush: Exercise - Yes a 6 mile run Have used all my pass days Non-scale Victory - I'll use my 6 mile run as my NSV. First six-miler in 2022. :smiley: Scale-Victory -β¦

3 Yesses for Thursday Exercise was a 30 minute walk on the treadmill using 1 lb hand weights, and then after that did 10 minutes using dumbbells. We don't meal prep in advance except I guess you could sort of say making instant pot bone broth is meal prep. We put rotisserie chicken carcass along with onion skins, carrotβ¦

@hannahwinner20 , I agree with the other runners, it's good to go to a running shoe store for your first pair. They will analyze your gait, often on a treadmill, to make sure you get the right kind of shoe and fit for you. There are 3 categories--neutral, stability, and motion control. I have high arches and tend toβ¦

3rd Pass Day Used Tracked - No. Something in me just didn't want to track this weekend. π Within Calories - Hard to say, but probably not Exercise - the bare minimum, a 20 minute walk I know I've felt hunger pangs before, but it's been a long time. I tend to eat every 2 to 3 hours so sometimes feel on the verge of hungerβ¦

Thanks @Mrs_Hoffer :blush:

Thanks @biketheworld, I was proud of myself, especially because at first I thought I'd just do 2 miles. But then as I was finishing up 2 miles, I thought to myself why not do 4 more "laps" and make it 3 miles. So that's what I did. :blush: Last night it rained and today it's supposed to rain like crazy with a high near 50β¦

What is it that they say? You can't outrun your fork. ;) 3 YESSES for me today. Exercise was a 3 mile run. I finally was able to get outside for a run this morning! But just because the streets were pretty much clear didn't mean the trails were free of snow. I went to a nearby gravel trail and was surprised to see it stillβ¦

3 Yesses - exercise was a 3 mile jog on the treadmill. The ice, snow, and slush appears to be gone now so this morning I'm going to venture out to a nearby trail for a run! :smiley: **Do I track everything? - Yes and no. On the rare occasions we eat out, get take-out, go on vacations, I don't track. That also goes forβ¦

@mshawski , @Juliexx00 , @ideas2 I agree, I don't like the treadmill either! But there's still snow on the ground so if I wanted to get a run in I had to suck it up and use the treadmill. Kept it to a short, slow jog. Looking forward to being able to run outside again soon! 3 Yesses π Exercise - 30 minute jog on theβ¦

Planned Pass Day today. Didn't track in mfp and most likely was over calories a little, so No and No. Exercise-YES: We've had snow on the ground since the 26th but I wanted to get at least a little run in, so did a short 20:22 minute jog on the treadmill this first day in 2022. π

Hi UACers, I don't think I've posted since before Christmas. Taking a break from tracking and relying more this last week in 2021 on hunger cues and mindful eating. Will start tracking again in the new year. Accomplishments in 2021: On this day in 2020 I weighed 140 lbs. This morning I weigh 133.2 lbs! :smiley: Most ofβ¦

3 Yesses Exercise was a 2 mile run in 21:09 so just barely made the minimum. ;) Next 2 days will be pass days for me, which will be Pass Days 6 & 7. Merry Christmas! :blush:
