exercise - yes
tracking - yes
budget- - yesYet another month that is kind of flying by.
I am doing the same exercise mostly every other day.
Every day is kind of too much for my knee.
I got old and slowed down somewhat but I didn't stop.
Exercise "on" day I get up early and go to my road before anyone else is up.
No one but us early birds.
Today I wore heart monitor.
Haven't done that in a long time.
Got my heart up to 90% of its theoretical maximum.
Took over an hour ramping up to that.
That is more or less comfortable.
Wearing the heart monitor causes the algorithms inside of the exercise apps (Garmin and Strava) to give me a lower value for exercise calories.
It kind of lowers it by half.
So normally I get credit for 1600 exercise calories on my hill climb without the heart monitor.
Only 800 with.
The 800 is likely more reasonable.
I kind of have an inclination to estimate 12 calories per minute for when I am climbing and my heart is running at 120 or so. That kind of like 1000 calories for my standard 2000 foot climb.
Mostly been doing the same climb for this month and last.
Little tracker watch makes it easy to keep a good record of the time.
Today I got within seven minutes of my best time ever for that "course."
This something I been doing for a few years.
I have had that watch and that bike and that Strava account for coming 4 years.
It is fun to have a record of everything I have done exercise wise.
Tracking they call it I guess.
I got to start keeping better track of the condition of my skin.
Going out early is easier on the skin but I still get a lot of sun.
I see outdoor athletes today that are tanned up pretty dang dark.
I wonder if Covid has let Dermytologists back out yet.
Make a few calls on Tuesday.4 -

Hello all,
Pass #2 today.
Today, I didn't do any formal exercises. However, I got plenty in the past 2 days.
I also took the calories 30% above the budget.
I tracked everything but today was a rest day all around.
I also need to work on staying hydrated.
Have a successful day tomorrow.

@Hulya_79 I love all Turkish food, but it's all very calorific and comes in generous portions. I am surprised Turks are not amongst the world's most obese people! You do really well resisting all these goodies!
Yes, we use too much carb in our food, this is why they are all very calorific and it is a shame to serve in small portions in our culture
I am not suprise Turkey ranks 17th in the global obesity level. 1 -

What would you say are the least calorific dishes in Turkish cuisine? Vegetable ones? Fish? I remember eating lots of nice fish dishes near the Bosphorus... I used to love Turkish breakfast too. Would work on a ketogenic diet, I think.1 -
