@acaliforniadreamer.... I log all my exercises as my doctor looks at my app when I go in for checkups. He is looking at macros and minutes of exercise and then compares it to my lab work. As he says “I like being difficult” as he often gets false positive test results for me. Being able to see what I am doing and comparing it to the blood work gives him more accurate information on how to adjust my medications.
I take one of the kids or my husband with me on all my walks. I take off my Fitbit for these and I have them track instead. As soon as I’m done my Fitbit goes back on. This allows me to more accurately track (I think) so I long my active waking minutes and then my Fitbit does its own thing.
I know it miscounts my steps at work and misses about 50% as it will not track if you are carrying or pushing something. I usually mentally add 40% to my step count for a more accurate reading.
I need to switch to a pedometer on my shoes and then buy a watch of some kind to wear instead of my Fitbit. Still deciding on what I want so keeping with my Fitbit till it dies.
At work I put my fitbit in my bra as I don't have pickets and it is pretty accurate.0 -
Anyone want to swop their summer for my winter? It's basically the first really cold week and I'm already hating it. And here in South Africa cold isn't even close to what some people get... I just want to run around barefoot again!0

What part of South Africa are you in? I took my 2nd trip to Cape Town in December, just an incredible place! I'd trade places with you any time... well, after they sort out the water crisis

Happy Saturday! How did everyone do for week 1? Being part of this challenge has given me the motivation to keep going even on the days that I normally would have just wanted to not do anything even remotely healthy. I managed to lose a bit of weight and I’m already feeling better than I have in quite a while. Any fun plans for this weekend? @MJsStory going on another spider hunt?1

Nope! That spider is dead! I still have the bite mark on my foot but it’s not itching and burning anymore. All headboards in the house have been vacuumed behind, all mattresses vacuumed and flipped, all bedding washed, old bedding was thrown out and replaced. (2queens, 1 full, and a set of bunk beds). There are no more spiders in the house.
This weekend is my mother-in-laws surprise birthday party so we have been cleaning at church and decorating. It looks like a fairy tale off of Pinterest! Today is the big event and then it has to be all cleaned up and returned to normal for church tomorrow. Tomorrow we rest as we are gonna need it!
My Dad arrives on Monday!! That means a week of long hikes, fishing for dinner, camping out in the RV on the mighty Mississippi, visiting antique stories, historical sites and museums. Chasing footballs and dogs, bbqs, and very little sleep. He lives just over 2000 miles away and is here for 1 week at the beginning of summer and 1 at the end. He’ll drive off in the RV to do the rest of the family summer annual tour he does and then will be back before heading home for the fall/winter.
Dad likes to feel needed so like my aunt did with my PapPap... I make sure something is broken for him to fix while I’m at work. This year I messed up the front landscaping in the terrace. He loves yard work so it’ll keep him busy. Gotta figure out something else to break for his 2nd week. If they don’t have something to do they will drive you crazy.1 -
I was delighted to see that I'm down 5 pounds from my highest weight! There's nothing like seeing that number drop to keep me motivated. However, I did take the weekend off and ended up using all three of my pass days when I went on a camping trip. I had only planned to use one, but you know how these things go. I did still track all my food and I didn't go that much above my calorie goal. Got lots of great exercise too and I feel really good about that. Today I am back on the wagon without missing a beat. Fruit & veggie smoothie for breakfast and probably a Lean Cuisine for lunch. I may not make it into the winner's circle this time around, but I am definitely going to make some great progress!5

The lack of sunshine recently really makes it hard to stay motivated...other than motivating me to sleep!
