    I want to try some exercise on Netflix or Amazon- we have both and I never use them at all except watching one show while I was on the treadmill months ago-
    Any suggestions on good ones to start.
    I haven't even looked them up- keep saying I am going to but never do.
    I need something to follow to keep me going. Trying to remember the things our teacher showed us doesn't work- can't remember any of them now.

    Dlfk: I chose what I eat and when. No cheating involved. I do CI<CO. I prelog my day’s food to make sure I balance my macros, and use exercise to balance my intake with my energy output. Celebration meals are no different to any other day’s. I have no banned food. I chose to eat healthy 90% of the time.

    I have a daily baseline of 1600 calories, and regularly add 400-500 with exercise, but I don’t consume most of those, so I always have calories in hand if I decide on a little indulgence.

    Dlfk: I go into YouTube and search for whatever exercise I want to do. There are hundreds available. I use a range of exercises, but like variety.

    The only motivations I need for exercising are that it allows me to eat well, and it keeps me fit and healthy. 😂

    so, if you consume 1600 calories, do you make sure that you have exercised more than that many calories? It sounds like the thing to do but I am just not that active(I know, I should be and need to work on it)

    when using MFP, tracking your food, what number do you use on the calories on an item if there are many to choose from with different calories. I cooked a tri-tip in the pressure cooker- I looked up tri tip beef. 4oz is anywhere from 150 to 290 cal.

    DLFK202000 - I just looked up tri-tip and most of those on the higher end were listed with a restaurant name too. and that may be that the restaurant adds marinade with calories or as a friend I have does after he cooks tri tip the slices get dipped in melted butter. So I would either use the grocery store listing (if that is available) or the generic. Of course the amount of fat in any particular tri tip will affect the calorie count. I think that is part of why many of us do not eat back any or all of our exercise calories.

    hope this helps

    Thank you!
    That is part of the reason I stick with 1000 cal a day. That and in case I measure wrong(or just guess at it)
    This is a premarinated tri-tip. I didn't think about checking the package when I cooked it yesterday. I will just go with 200cal but may not eat the full 4oz. Planning on having mine on a salad while the guys have theirs as sandwiches w/ cheese on sour dough bread.

    Wilted salad for dinner tonight, one of my very favorite things to eat. yum

    ...

    Lanette I think you asked how much I'm working now. If I would have answered you the day you asked, I would have said practically nil. I am just not fast enough to snag shifts when they are posted, which is how independent contractors get hours. It's a free-for-all. A text gets sent out and the feeding frenzy begins. Fortunately, there were shifts posted today that didn't get claimed very quickly and I was able to pick up about 25 hours over the next 2 weeks. Perfect! Plus, this afternoon a friend alerted me that ad hoc shifts had opened up (happens when there is a surge in demand), and I worked for about an hour this afternoon. I have another 2 hours tonight from 9 to 11. Starting in October I will be scheduled for about 16 hours a week, and will have an opportunity to pick up more hours during flu season if I want to.

    At my brick and mortar job, so far I am scheduled one day in July and one day in August. I am going to try to keep myself employed in some capacity to avoid triggering the release of retirement money that I don't want to receive yet. My medical director seems happy to have me in the wings to call on when needed.

    ...

    Allie I'm sorry you have a gout flare up.

    1600 is the figure set by MFP for me to maintain. I exercise for extra on top of the 1600, but don’t normally use most of those exercise calories. They’re an extra cushion for emergencies. 😂

    I did a warmup, plus the first 2 this morning, took about 70 mins altogether. Then I walked over 8000 steps during today. I also worked in the garden after lunch.

    Thanks Karen and Terri!

    Who was looking for cannas? I'll mail you some! I have 2 kinds - red/dark green leaves with red flowers, and medium green and white striped leaves with a bright orange flower.

    Debby - I am the same about breakfast. I have a coffee every morning but as soon as I eat I’m hungry the rest of the day.

    Kim - I am so incredibly happy for you! My wish is that this opens the door wide for a lot of business. You deserve a windfall.

    I splurged tonight on one of my favourite meals. The local bank we use at work has had to close due to a sewage backup, I had to go into the city to complete my deposits. Since I was going at the end of the day and would be getting home in time for supper I decided to get Olive Garden. I hadn’t used curbside pick up before, but it was incredibly easy and efficient. It is about 25 minutes drive home so I cranked the heat to the floor vents to keep the food hot and had the window down so I didn’t suffocate. It worked very well!

    Now I need to burn some calories lol

    DLFK202000 - I remember that you are short (me too) but when your calorie count is lower, which at 1000 you are, I would recommend that you really look at the nutrition components on MFP and that over a week or so you are getting everything you need. (I believe that if I am high in something today and low tomorrow that can work itself out) as our bodies do seem to worry about getting everything we need and forget to lose weight when our calorie count is low.

    smiles Kim

    Kim- do you try and get the carbs/proteins/fats all about equal or more on proteins and little fat and carbs.
    Today I am at 840 but will finish at at least a 1000. I am at 66 protein, 55 carbs and 37fats right now.

    Heather – when you say that you do certain exercise for extra calories, do you do the exercise before or after you have the food? I never knew that paddleboards can also be inflatable, so thanks for informing me

    Vince finally changed the light switch in the mud room! For the longest time you had to hold it an extra second or two if you wanted the light to stay on. Now you can just flip the switch!

    Dflk (isn’t it Deb?) – I tend to eat lots of little meals

    I’m looking for about ¼ yard of San Diego Charger material. If anyone can get some and mail it to me, I would really appreciate it. I’ll be more than glad to reimburse you for the material and postage. Charger material is no where to be found around here.

    Kim – how wonderful!

    Melanie – I take Prolia for my osteoporosis. I was on a biphosonate, wasn’t really improving, then went on Prolia. I got so much better that insurance wouldn’t cover it any more and said I had to go on a biphosonate. Well, it didn’t improve so now I’m back on the prolia. Mr. Moneypenny is so adorable

    Ginny – I’m sorry about your coworker
