This is a really good one. It stings a bit too. And it can be an ongoing process as well. Hopefully for everyone it is as simple as lifting a weight off of you and forging ahead without encountering too much resistance in the future. In the end it comes down to every choice you make is your choice. And technically that…

@bradkcrew - You did not train that way, so don't try to race in a way you are untrained for.

@KCJen - Hope your eye clears up quickly! As for calories per meal, it sounds like you had a working method. Each person is different though, and may need a different number of meals and sizing based on times of day, etc. For me personally, I tend to do best with a (very) slightly larger breakfast and lunch (particularly…

Your step count is looking really good @Mrs_Hoffer!

I guess I'll reply now, a day early (me and my stupid yap getting me in trouble)... I can recall convincing a youthful me that I didn't have to lose weight. And I didn't. I don't know that there is an absolute correlation there, I think I was just too concerned with other things. I also recall a early 20's version of me…

Oh snap! I recently discovered free daily Heather Robertson workouts (available on YouTube) that I was seriously considering taking up as a daily exercise option. I had no idea she was the "Half Size Me" person!!! Ok, going back to read the rest of the opener. Was very surprised to see that name was all. Carry on. ETA - I…

@bradkcrew - Great question! My ideal BMI weight has always been 180 pounds as a 6'2" male but since I was never below 220 as an adult I convinced myself that was an impossibility and perhaps around 220 would be fine. In 2014 when I had class 3 obesity and rapidly deteriorating health it was just to get my weight down to…

October 5 ✅ Exercise ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 2 Pass days used The only times I have ever truly felt better and kept weight off for any meaningful period of time was with both a "healthy diet" and exercise, with a focus on overall health and well being. "Diet" alone was always short lived and seemed like just a meaningless…

You just need to use one pass when you have an off day. So even if you have a "No" in all 3 categories it counts as a single pass day.

Congrats to all of the Champions! The most important things are sticking with your long term plans, not giving up when things go awry, and making course adjustments as necessary to keep those long term goals in front of you! It's not a race to a finish line, it's a lifelong journey. Honoring Champions here is the best part…

@LazyBlondeChef - Wow! My mind is spinning a bit about that cheese and almond flour crust, first I've heard of that one! It does sound a bit sodium heavy (which is usually OK by me) 😁

October 3 ✅ Exercise ✅ Calories ✅ Tracked 2 Pass days used Things were back under control with hunger today. Wound up having some drinks during the game today, very rare lately, but made it work and had a great day! All tracked and looking forward to the next week!

@bradkcrew - Trust me, you got this! There is a cliche among runners that applies here... The hay is in the barn ...You have put in the proper due effort to train for a new distance. It was hard. You did all you needed to prepare. Now REST as you planned. That is key right now. Next weekend your body will be primed to…

It's possible my steps and mileage could be lower than estimated. While walking never aggravated the plantar fasciitis I am recovering from (developed while running), two…

A streak has to begin somewhere! No rules requiring it be the first of the month, or that it can't have a miss from time to time.

October 2 ✅ Exercise - Walk and core isometrics routine. ❌ Calories - I could almost call this a YES, but I feel better scoring it as a NO because I ended the day just below maintenance, which is not how a normally successful day would end up. ✅ Tracked - All of it, but I ran out of meal slots in my diary so I combined…

That's just recorded walking activity miles. I know Garmin estimates my daily mileage from steps, but that's not what I'm tracking. I average around 2k steps/mile generally, so I can get a good estimate from just that, typically.

The peanut butter debacle last night appears to have been triggered by hunger, possibly still remaining from a couple weeks back when I learned I had unwittingly spent a couple weeks in a 2.5 pound per week caloric deficit. I thought I had that reined in and comfortably at a 1.5 to 2 pound/week deficit, but apparently I'm…

Thanks! I'll have to look into magnesium. I had blood labs last week, curious if that was on there and what it was. I take a daily multi vitamin regimen that includes B's. I don't know where it is in magnesium though so going to check some things.

@Caroline_slowandsteady I skipped a reply here initially, but something I recalled after reading the replies (I've even done this) is looking up online recipes for the mysterious dish, adding all the ingredients to MFP as a recipe, and that will get you very close, if not spot on

Just get it out of the way ASAP, like ripping off a bandage. Get out on that walk/run before your brain is alert enough to figure out what you're doing!

@ideas2 - IGNORE those spam friend requests. We all get them regularly. Some are immediately obvious due to nudity or otherwise ridiculous profile pic. Others are not so obvious except that they come with no message, their profile and status history is empty, and zero to few friends, none of them being anyone you have ever…

Revising my Oct. 1 post to a pass day. I can't explain the "why", but the "when" was last night, the "who" was me, the "where" was right there in front of the pantry, the "how" was a spoon, and the "what" was peanut butter. I'm working to just move past it, no need to let that disrupt things. But dang...what the flip was…
