    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.

    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!

    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.779bsbkvcahv.jpg

    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!

    @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.

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

    Made it through the 4th with three YESes. I did use some exercise calories.

    @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!!
