    My favorite exercise: walking and jogging outside in nature
    Least favorite exercise: going to the gym for any reason, but I'm also grateful the gym is nearby. We have severe winters with ice and snow and high humidity in the summer. The gym is necessary.

    Ex: 116 mins walking except 30 of Pilates
    Calories: over - cat survived her surgery! Is eating! Now, onto colonoscopy prep Dec 12 for procedure on Dec 13. Shingrex Dec 19. Hoping life gets back to normal when our cat gets her stitches out Dec 21. I’m
    Much Much more relaxed now that it’s over & she’s doing so well.

    I realized I was eating today thinking it would make me feel better (old programming from my previous life haha) because, in reality, my body does Not feel good when it’s over fed.

    Likely my calories over today & under tomorrow will even out.
    Tracked all yes!

    Pass Days remaining: -1
    Won’t be in the a Winner’s Circle, but I’m a winner. Maintaining 71-73lb weight loss for 385 days❣️ This Perfect storm of the past week will not derail me - a bump in the road.
    We are all stronger than we think we are.

    Favorite exercise?
    Because of various past injuries (even did physicalTherapy to try to fix them - no luck, I avoid some of my favorites:

    Dancing❤️❤️❤️ LOVE it, making up my own dances or Salsa! Don’t do it due to fear of re-injury of ankle

    Bicycling❤️❤️❤️used to ride 100-milers LOVE IT! Stopped because of distracted drivers/fear of severe injury or death after being tapped going 5mph.

    Swimming❤️❤️❤️ with Txplant, I can only swim in ocean or well maintained private pool

    Hiking in Nature ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Glorious. PT told me to avoid hills, but I still do them occasionally for the heart strengthening effects

    Walking ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️SO good for ne in so many ways. My GO TO.

    Weight Lifting ❤️❤️❤️I love it and did quite a lot mid year but found I got Really Hungry. Have thought of trying again but lifting myself to 30 mins a day not 90+.

    Pilates - my teacher is magical. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

    Don’t like:
    Exercise bike - just find it uncomfortable. I do use it in the gym but prefer treadmill & elliptical.

    Calisthenics-

    Using a roller

    Yoga - but I do love restorative yoga

    Exercise: yes
    Calories: yes
    Tracked: yes

    Love walking and have been a walker all my life. It works well for me and I am very consistent about it regardless of what is going on in my life.

    I don't do well with highly aerobic forms of exercise or anything that requires complicated movement as this seems to result in eventual injury. I find walking injury free for the most part except when I fall on ice and break bones.

    I wish I liked strength training and yoga and stretching. I know they are really good for me especially at my age. I keep trying to find the right way to incorporate them into my life in a manner that I find enjoyable (enjoyable=consistency). I have discovered mini videos which I like. They don't overwhelm me with their commitment and still introduce some of these exercises into my life. I just have to make time to include them which has been hard recently. A work in progress.


    @w8goal4life Thanks for mentioning the videos you watch. I am always looking to see what other people are watching and finding new videos.

    yes x3

    In high school I did cross country and track, then did a marathon in college, and then stopped running :D I was never one of the people who lovedddd running, and I just decided I don't want to.

    Did salsa dancing for a few years as an adult, then gained weight, and now that I'm back down my main exercises are walking, biking (live in DC so bike on city streets) and now my new hobby of parkour. I think I enjoy fun exercises. I do enjoy body strength workouts incorporating squats and things, but I've never been into the gym and weight machines, ellipticals, spinning, or treadmills

    I'm a little late checking in but my 13 year old grandson is here for a quick visit from CO so I just enjoyed a nice long day doing Christmas things with him. But I did stay within my calories (under by 300) and got in a session of hip therapy before we picked him up from the airport!

    Exercise: yes, 25 minutes
    Calories: yes, on the low side actually
    Tracked: yes
