Yes, yes, yes
Phew, day 1 of vacation a success. Cut it close but I'm determined to put in a solid effort and having this accountability is hugely helpful!4 -
I managed to squeak through the holiday with just 7 calories to spare!
But the important thing is that I did it!
Hubby and I went on a nice after dinner walk with Tara (our golden retriever). She found a dead rabbit that she wanted to eat! Luckily, my husband got it away from her before she did!
@120maggie: I feel for that woman who was trying to control four goldens at the same time!
I hope our sunset walks become a habit!
Yes! Yes! Yes! for me today! ☺

@trixsey1 WOW! What a burn today! Have you always been this active?
..................
@Craigo3154 What a great walk today Sir Craig! 7k in 53 minutes is good! Add the hills and it is GREAT!
.............
I've always loved walking, even before I started losing weight. I love woodland walks, especially at this time of year when all the new life emerges. I love nature and animals and I see some lovely creatures on my travels.. I can go for miles as long as I've got water for both me and the dogs.
Blooming heck craigo3154, you must have jet powered feet! I did 8km yesterday and took my 140 mins and I walked briskly too - you must have really motored some!

I use a racewalking technique. Works upper body as well as legs (and calves of steel
- years of ice skating). Average < 8.30 min/km uphill and often well under 7:20 min/km downhill (even had a few 6:xx min/km downhill).
I often choose steeper uphills (intense cardio work, breathing hard by the tops of hills) and shallower downhills.
On the flat (walking track) I can average under 7:40 min/km.
To go faster, I think I would need to start running (or at least jogging).
I find walking is softer on the knees.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes walking and housework
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Just, I upped my excercise to accommodate my mother in law not understanding simple food ordering instructions lol
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes3 -
@trixsey1 ditto that, I adore nature, I get lost in walks when I am surrounded by it. I just love all the sounds and smells ... one of the pit falls of living in the city is that you have to look for nature, we found a little forest about a 5 min run from us, its full of deer, foxes and twittering birds .. but unfortunately (now that I know all of the paths) its less than a 2 mile circuit. It's difficult to wander when you know all the routes. 2

July 4 (Tuesday)
Exercised?: Yes (25 minute walk)
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Great time with friends yesterday. Went to baseball game last night and enjoyed some amazing fireworks after the game. 3 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yup! A morning jog.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yup!2 -
July 4th (A little late because I fell asleep before the fireworks...I start work pretty early)
Exercised: 20 min walk at lunch
Calories: yes, I barely made it. I kind of thought homemade popcorn was a freebie and then I tracked it and I was really surprised.
Tracked: yes
@Dosse1320 Don't feel discouraged. It happens to all of us. A "healthy" burrito at Chipotle is like 1300 calories.2 -
July 4
Yes, yes and yes
Only time for 20 minutes of walking, but the calories were surprisingly easy to control yesterday for some reason!3 -
@phoebelayla Thank you and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!1

50 minutes of climbing. 800 feet, heh, rounding up. Not my usual and I lost track. Pass they call it.
I am up a couple pounds from my recent minimum.
I better get back to some serious recreation.
Weird as this may sound but I lose weight camping.
Yeah right, lose wight camping. Last time I camped, my neighbors were like gourmet camping cooks. I think they were trying to start a camping restaurant or something.
I ate there big time. For the most part they were happy to have me because I helped to get wood. I think that is why they drafted me in the first place.
But they ate better than I ate at home. Man o man! They had pancakes that were to die for. Oh, and maple syrup in a bottle that I ain't never seen at Walmart.
They were serving lumberjack breakfasts but hey I was a lumberjack. Getting them firewood involved climbing a 50 foot bank and that ain't rounding up.
And the bike ride, age inappropriate. I swore I was going to quit doing that. 20 miles out and back. That don't sound like much when you think about a flat ride around a lake or something. But ...
... Better put a camping pic. I think I will call this pic ugh.

Happy Independence Day to folks from the U.S.!
Today, I spent a lot of time on the lake with loved ones. I got a lot of exercise, and didn't eat much, but again chose not to track. Rough beginning to July, but I expected it to be this way. Even if I don't make the winner's circle, I will be trying my best to stay accountable this month!2 -

I love walking or running outside too. My favorite activity ever!

I thought I did my final check-in for today but I do not see it on here...lol..so her goes
exercise yes, walk, light housework, and light meal prep
calories yes well under
tracking yes everything0 -
@Dosse1320 I had the same thing happen to me recently. I ordered a hamburger and figured that it would be 500-600 calories. When I got home, I discovered that at Red Robin, a hamburger chain, it's almost impossible to find a hamburger under 1200+ calories.
Yikes!!0 -
