Another beautiful day in BC Canada! Had a good day. Still celebrating Canada's 150 years. Happy 4th of July coming up for our American friends.
For those that don't know I had back surgery on July 15th, My exercise and time spent on it is very limited right now. I am good when I get up in the morning but I get tired easily, I try to get my walking and puttering done in the morning that way it is done for the day.
exercise yes walking with my walker, very light housework and some food prep.
calories yes
tracking yes
Hope everyone has a GREAT day tomorrow!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
Dismantled our six man tent single handedly (hubby went to get the car, hmm) walked in clumber park for an hour and a half, walked into town and back up the hill.
Under calories by 100, saving up for the baby shower and mums home cooked treats st the weekend!4 -
@amchange great work staying under calories, I have the same problem when tired so can relate
@Slimpossible007 my tips on bike gear changing, change early (as soon as it starts to get too hard or easy) and don't use top on one set with bottom on the other, if you were trying to do that it might be why you had trouble. The other thing that used to give me some problems was not pushing the gear lever far enough on my left hand change, make sure you push the lever as far as it will go when changing up.
@120maggie great ride today. Hope everything goes well for your husband tomorrow
@5cheetahs yoga on the beach sounds awesome

@phoebelayla and @srufus well done getting back on track today.
@catvlmack I grew up in Nottingham and used to go to Clumber Park with my family on a regular basis, beautiful woodland.5 -
@2020pinktogo TY, I have a big comfy seat attachment that I use for my stat bike in the house, so I may well just slip that over the bike seat for extra comfort, My hubby after his try said that there is an issue with the gears so that's why the chain was slipping, I'll speak to them when we return the hire. The lady that was hiring them out couldn't open the lock up that the hire bikes were kept in so she gave us one from the work shop. I think it may need work lol
@120maggie TY .. they really do lol .. and so do the miles 3 -

My dads family is from worksop, so I know it well, despite growing up in Norfolk and now living in Lancashire. We were there to scatter my grandads ashes (shh don't tell the national trust) most of that side of the family is there. It's so beautiful. Nottingham is a beautiful city I used to love shopping there when I lived in lincoln.

@srufus I'm an emotional eater too. I noticed a pattern recently when dealing with my husband's ex-wife about their 34 year old special needs son. Nothing is ever good enough for either of them (he has been good and brain washed) and they lay the guilt on so thick you can cut it. It hit me last week as I got off the phone with her and was searching the kitchen that I do that every single time I get off the phone with her or when he visits usnand I've been doing that for 20 years. So I took a deep breath, went into my workout room and worked out instead. And since he is coming for a visit this weekend for 4 days, I am going to be working out hard lol. It is so hard to acknowledge that family can push our buttons and derail us. And they will if we let them, so the key is to not give them that power anymore. Great job on staying on point, exercising and not giving in or up.

yes x 3
Exercise kind of bare minimal so no great adventure story there.
What do I have to do to stay in control on the 4th?
Exercise, exercise. I will try for a big ride but there will be a lot of motorists out hunting for their picnic spot. Early is the way to go I guess.4 -
@aeshippers TY that's very helpful .. I had no idea that top on one while bottom on the other was a no go .. and I was a bit wary when I was changing gear slowing down to do so .. which looking back was possibly not the best idea ... I also think I wasn't pushing the gears far enough.
I'll have another go this evening and see how I go 4 -
Date: 2nd of July
Exercised?: Yes: Focused on walking
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes4 -
@Slimpossible007 on my bikes I've always had to be pedalling while changing gears. The chain doesn't like it if I try when I'm coasting.2
-
@am_change .. TY, yes I think that may have been one of the issues I was slowing down and wasn't peddling when I tried to change, so they must have gotten stuck and that's why the chain was slipping .. I didn't get another turn this evening, my daughter was off out all day ... and it goes back tomorrow. I'll have a go another time It could also have been a bad bike thou, I don't think they were meant to be hiring the ones from the work shop out.

Im starting again today, after flunking out half way through June.
I have had to alter my goals as the target of staying within cals was a trigger to binge. (My messed up head and eating disorder)
So, my July goals are
1. Exercise daily. Nothing major though, as I can burn out if I push too much. I suffer with dreadfully fatigue, especially in the afternoons.
2. Track what I eat/drink. I need to be aware of binge triggers but not beat myself up if I go over cals.
3. Take my vitamins daily.
Three "yes" today and an added bonus of being within cals.3 -

@scubachick67. Welcome back.
What's essential with the important stuff is that each time fall, we get up and try again.
This (UAC) is hard, but longer term one of the most worthwhile things you can do. It is trying to build good habits. And it's your habits (good or bad) that will build you.
