So much for a rest day (meaning yoga). When the temp is above 60°f in Western NY, one must go out and enjoy it. 😂 The end of snow season is a glorious thing! 🌞

I’m not sure how you logged it but just running or walking is short changing yourself for offsetting additional calories. Running after children would include aspects of functional training: side and forward lunges, squats, forward and side bends (and stretches I imagine), lower body strength workout if you happen to pick them up, and so forth. It’s most definitely a workout! I’ll bet it was more exhausting then your standard workout!!
Good for you!!!! 🏃🏻♀️🤾🏻♀️🤸🏽♀️🏋🏻♀️🤼♀️💪🏼👏

Exercise yes
23 minute exercise, 1 hour vigorous housework. Made my stair and step goal.
I started posting the step and stair goals to motivate me more. It helps me be accountable.
Calories yes
Under by 400
Tracked yes
I've been away from the group for a while due to some health issues. Feeling much better. So good to be back. Lots of new ones but still a lot of oldies but goodies.
Thanks for the suggestion @ShareASmile it's interesting to see the places other group members are from. I'm happy to share. Thanks to @RangerRickL this is an amazing group and an amazing forum that you can be comfortable being in. By the way I love St Louis. You have the botanical gardens (love the Japanese garden), the zoo, and Ikea (they really help you get your exercise in) Additionally wonderful places to eat.
I live in western KY close to Paducah. We are in the process of moving to the Knoxville Area. I love the mountains. I'm a TN gal--- used to live close to Nashville. Nice to know @BonnieHosk85 is from that area. The amazing thing is we all have the same common goals and struggles and need motivation.

Thanks everyone! It's so fun hearing where you all are from!! Again, I'm from St. Louis, Missouri.
YES x3! I walked to the park again today but didn't see any deer. Also, did some gardening and finished planting my annuals. The rain finally stopped, so it was WONDERFUL to be outside.
Thanks again @RangerRickL and I love Chicago!
@windowqueen2003 The Botanical Gardens and the zoo are two of my favorite places to go and get some steps!! My parents are both from Louisville, do I've been to KY many times!5 -

Thanks @ShareASmile! Fun hearing where other members are from. I’m in Las Vegas, NV😊 where it’s pretty much always sunny.
I’m taking a pass day today. Went to Mass and someone sitting right behind us was sneezing, coughing, etc and I’m not feeling so good. Hoping it’s just a little bug.4 -

This is where I am .... trying to build new habits around food. I overeat when stressed/upset so I'm sticking with UAC to challenge myself to deal with life's rollercoaster in a healthier way.
1 success: 4 pass

Calories?: Yes.
Yes by a tiny margin, very tough day, ended up eating way more than intended and needed a emergency brisk hour's walk to keep things in the black.
Exercised?: Yes.
45 Min Cycle (two deer), a Second Family Cycle and walk of about an hour and a half, leisurely with coffee stop. Emergency 60 Min Hike at dusk.
@ShareASmile I'm located on the North Yorkshire Coast, England. Near Whitby. Lots of outdoors, not so much organised group exercise options. (I miss the Yoga classes I used to do before moving here)
@krea4 new habits are tough, I struggle. But as MadisonMolly2017 said, small changes do add up and progress can be made. I also overeat when stressed, and I 'give up' if it all gets too much, so I'm a serial starter. I've had to gradually work on other aspects of my life because I can't succeed with weight loss and fitness unless I address the underlying cause. I'm not sure if I am there yet, but I have made slow progress over the years. Be proud that you are trying and celebrate every small success because that is the path to take.4
