Last weekend, I took this photo of lots of shoes in our foyer. It takes me back to when our 4 kids lived at home and there were always shoes in our foyer from our kids and their friends.
Enjoy the years when your children live with you!!

Exercised?: Yes. Walked 5 Km in 43 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Mostly recovered from food poisoning now. Can eat normally and almost back to full strength. Not needing the amenities every 3 hours. Good nights sleep does wonders. Thank you for all the well wishes.
Weighed for the first time in 5 days. 0.5kg from MFP goal. Would have lost a lot of water over the past few days. Expecting to hover round this weight, even bounce up a bit, while body reaches equilibrium after the food poisoning.
The new reading changes my BMI classification from the overweight range to the normal range. YAY!!!!
Trying to make the most of while our daughter is at home.
It will be both a happy and sad day when, many years from now, she will look to leave home.
@fourathomej. Glad to hear your mom is doing better. Have a good vacation. Hopefully you can find connection to check-in during vacation.
@PaisleyFlower. Feel free to use the workout (and adjust as appropriate to you).
@pribud. Great reason to take a pass. Sounds like a great day.
@debodom1962. Diet will do FAR more to keep weight off than exercise. Exercise is generally less than 15% of your daily calorie burn. Ideally use exercise more for fitness and recomposition (altering fat/muscle balance) than weight loss.
@harringtonen. Don't throw the towel in yet. You get 2 more passes before bowing out of winners circle (it's not 3 strikes and out - more 4 balls to take a walk ). You can do this. Just keep focus. Even if not in the circle, please keep checking in.

Another day in the bank. The scales are not doing what I want them to just yet, but I think I'm starting to feel the benefits of the increase to daily exercise. My resting hr is down to 82, which with my condition is pretty darn good. Mid June it was 92.
Calories logged, and counted, and deadlift day completed.9 -
12th of July
Exercised: My butt off!
Calories: Yes
Tracked: Yes10 -
Yes x 3.
My one year old is obsessed with shoes and insists on wearing them at all times. I've always been a shoes off inside person so I'm hoping the novelty of having shoes wears off soon. Come muddy winter I'll insist!
Lots of love to the UACers. What a lot we've been through over the months: new grandchildren, redundancies, new jobs, graduations, bereavement, operations and cancer. Gus, we are all thinking of you. Look after and be kind to yourself, and that goes for everyone.8 -
July 12
Exercised?: Yes
Calories?: Over 1200 (daily limit)
Tracked?: Yes.
Not sure if I need to take a pass day here.
My daily limit is 1200, but I'm well over this at 1400 (had a portion of homemade apple crumble with custard that piled on the calories, lol - made it for the kids but couldn't resist, besides I haven't had a treat in ages! ).
Burnt 643 calories in exercises today, which has left me over 400 calories to spare still, but I am over the 1200 I set myself.
If I need to take a pass here, then that's fine, not sure how this works here.
All calories are tracked, and exercises a total of 150mins.

Exercise: 9 minute cardio challenge warm up. (10 push ups, 10 burpees, 6 times across the room spiderman crawling, min plank, 50 skips with the rope, 10 lunge jumps... x2) followed by weights session and yoga stretching cool down. I hit my 40kg bench today so really pleased. I think next weeks aim will be a 90kg deadlift.
Kcl: 1444/1460
Tracked: yep7 -

exercise lots of it 10 mins of crunches, leg lifts and squats.
3 mins on my balance spinner, good to twist on, while keeping your balance and it strengthens the core (gently)
2 separate walks one 25 mins walk with my oldest boy to feed the geese and another 19 min walk with a 150 meter jog to get me around my usual 1.27 mile walk in the fastest time since re starting my journey
I still have have 10 miles to do on my stat bike ,, but Ive passed today anyway

July 12:
Exercise?: 40 minute run on the treadmill this morning; accidentally ran steeper hills than I intended to by choosing the wrong program, but I pushed through it.
Plank?: Yes. 12 for 12.
Calories?: Yes, with 331 to spare.
Tracked?: Yes. Snacked less than usual today, as I had to run an errand that involved a lot of traveling this afternoon. Still logged the half-cup of sesame sticks that I didn't realize were honey roasted until after I poured them out and then scanned the barcode. Delicious, though.
On another note, here's a graph of my weight over the past 30 days, with the July 1st start of the challenge marked off. You can clearly see how much the motivation has helped me in just two weeks:

You do not need to take a pass day. You can use exercise calories. When trying to lose weight, most of us find that you shouldn't do that routinely (though some do need to). So, you are all good!4 -
@RangerRickL Your photo makes my heart smile. What a beautiful sentiment. How fortunate you are to have these wonderful memories of your children.
@craigo3154 Glad you are feeling better! It really affects your interest in food...am I right!? Congrats on achieving the normal classification on the BMI scale too! What a great joy that is I have to imagine. You deserve it...really well done!!
As I've shared a bit before, my daughter is 10 months old and her Daddy and I are already joking about following her to college when the day comes. Lol! We really are having the time of our lives with the little Peanut. Treasuring every moment!5 -

Today was a rather long day. I intended to go to the gym, but felt a bit too exhausted. It's a cool day in nothern Minnesota, so I opted to take a slow hike outside instead. Tomorrow is my 5-mile run to raise money for the Young Athletes Foundation. Wish me luck! 7 -
