The combination of both of these quotes is a reminder that if you choose to look ahead and ignore what is behind, then you can take control of your own future.
Love, Rick

I'm going to follow the advice of Mr Churchill and start again tomorrow, been a very long day from an early start.
Exercise: yes, although only managed a 30 minute walk in the rain while some of my daughter's friends visited after school, very sedentary day for me really.
Tracking: yes everything, including the whole 250g bar of chocolate I ate this evening, actually quite proud of myself for logging it all, even though it's not at all pretty.
Calories: not even close following the chocolate blowout
Good news is that my daughter is home and not feeling too bad. Need to take her in to physio in the morning, guessing that will hurt.

Exercised?: Yes. Walked 7.9 Km in 68 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
4 mins slower than the same walk on the 11th (was not able to push as hard). Will look to have a rest day tomorrow (from experience, I find these tougher than normal days). A rest day still has a walk, but not as far or intentionally as fast. Also drop the nightly 20 min strength work (no gym, no weights, all bodyweight).
Apart from that, quiet day here.
Expecting rain here tomorrow, hopefully can get short walk in early.
@RangerRickL. Great pic of downtown Chicago. Hope you enjoyed your Birthday. Also love todays quotes. So true.
@trixsey1. Fantastic photos. (I probably need to take some more on my walks. Lots of trees
).
@2020pinktogo. Hang in there with nursing hubby. We all heal slower when we get older. Hopefully he will not need your nurse Nancy skills soon.
@bocasdelbadbob. Enjoy the ride tomorrow (today) and the catch up with buddy.
@windowqueen2003. Awesome work. Music (or distraction) does make the exercise go faster. Well done also for walking away from Starbucks. Coffee shops are calorie minefields (fine if tread carefully or enter appropriately prepared, otherwise ....).
@getrealgirl. We all have days where we are not present. Work with the habits. Hope the knee feels better soon. (Hour round trip to Yoga is a bit much. Longer term, I find such regular commutes to non-income activities drive me away from the activity)3 -
I have some catching up to do....wanted to post a pic of the view from our front door this weekend...
We ended up right on the river bed...It was gorgeous!!7 -

Just a quick hello. I was ill last week so no exercise and no logging for a few days - used up all my pass days and more! Back on track now but will probably leave this group till next month.
Good luck to you all and keep up the good work3 -
SO tired today, and been feeling rough for the last few days/week, I tried to fight it yesterday to keep me on track but the exercise has taken its toll on me and knocked me worse today
So -- I'm taking a pass (which puts me out of the circle for the month) and hoping to get back on track soon, hopefully this sickness will go away and I can get myself up n at em again

Figure this for a Monday.
A good day.
Possibly an epic day in terms of pure joy.
I went an seen Buddy.
Walked there so I am finally off the couch.
Buddy's expression or animation of joy on seeing me had a roomful of adults mesmerized.
Almost brought a little water to my eye.
I feed him. His appetite wasn't great.
He wants to go out and play.
He is manipulating me to that.
I take him out.
He is pushing his wheelchair rather than riding in it.
This is the stuff of apex of life joy.
His mom is there.
She calls me grampa bob.
His sister is there.
We are people smiling big smiles.
Exercise; my days of epic hill climbs are possibly in the past. This ain't bad though.
3 x yes. It is a little early to say that but hey, I am saying it.7 -
Taking a sick day.4

@RangerRickL, I'm seeing this at the end of a long Monday, thanks so much for the inspiring quotes.
@pribud, congrats on your weight loss! And thanks for being such a positive presence in this group.
@shonat11, I'm sorry you're sick. Hope you get better soon, and we look forward to you coming back.
For me, yes x3. Hiking with dog after work.
Something magical is happening when I hike with my dog, alone in the woods. I stop thinking about how old I'm getting, how much weight I should lose, my boss, and I just feel like a creature.4 -

My sister-in-law's husband has been in the hospital for over a week. Tonight they got some good news from the doctor so she wanted to celebrate. She brought over some DQ Buster bars. I just couldn't spoil her excited/good mood so I had one. Didn't enjoy it of course. Over my calories.
