    Didn't get to kayak, but did take a nice hike yesterday. About an hour. It was nice to get out. Love the photos of all your adventures!

    Like @jugar said Sunday is fine for your steps. I want you to have credit for every one of those steps. Thanks to everyone for getting those steps in. :smile:

    I hate when that happens. Eleven little steps. I've done the same thing. We know you took those steps somehow. ;)

    @lovethyneighbor Are you participating in the step challenge? I'm not sure. If you could let me know that would be great. Don't want to leave you off or put you on if you're not interested. :)

    I didn’t sign up for the step challenge since my I sit all day at work. I barely get over 5k a day, sometimes less.

    I was looking at maybe doing a meal delivery service to ease up some of our stress and vary our food options a touch.

    But everything is 1000-1300 calories per serving! :cold_sweat:

    I'll just suck up having to cook my usual 500-700 calorie dinners I guess.

    It might be worth trying it once and seeing what the portions look like. I know if I order Indian takeout - It's quite a lot and I can divide the main dish into two (or even three) and get multiple meals out of it...and cut the calorie intake/meal. On the occasion that I eat the whole thing, I can barely move and regret it, ha!

    @Terytha Well it's not exactly meal delivery but kinda along those lines. I have used cook smarts in the past. They tend to be healthier and appropriate portions. They plan the meals for you and give you a shopping list. I use it when I am so sick of coming up with ideas for meals. I usually subscribe to it here and there throughout the year. It's probably more cost effective than actual meal delivery service too. You can do a free trial before committing. https://www.cooksmarts.com/

    But then I still have to go grocery shopping. Which kinda defeats the purpose a bit.

    I'll bookmark it for the future though, might come in handy when life settles down. :)

    What a Monday! It is funny that the messages just above here are about meal delivery services. I have been shopping for those to give my mother for her 90th birthday, which is coming up real soon! She lives in a senior community and gets one meal a day from there, but they have much less choice than usual since the beginning of the pandemic, so she isn't too happy with it right now. She cooks for herself the rest of the time, but she should not be going to shop much - she's in Charlotte NC where there are many cases. So I have looked at Hello Fresh (which is also in Canada, @Terytha ) and many of the meals look great, and are reasonable calories. The cooking part is clearly set out and all the ingredients are there. There is another one that is vegan (meals already prepared, just need heating), and many others that I have slowly excluded. I was amazed at how many there were - I doubt you have as many choices in the Calgary area, Amber - but I hope you find one you like.

    Whew! I had a busy day - the usual Monday morning grocery run, and then all the veggies I picked over the past 2 days needed cooking, processing, freezing, or whatever. I still have too many zucchini. I grilled some for dinner. Trying to figure out how to use them all up - so tomorrow it is GREEN SOUP day! That should do most of the rest in. I always love the stuff in January. I had a good long walk though, and now I'm just going to finish up with the stretching, and hop in the shower.

    I am so glad some of you have had that perfect day! I had one today too - it is the best reset button. Keep with it! You'll feel so good.

    Pretty good day overall, met my step goal and calories within range. Enjoyed more fresh veggies from the garden.

    I woke up with some really bad neck and shoulder pain again, happened last week and again today. Makes it really difficult to be physically active. I have an appt next week with a chiropractor and massage therapist, first time for both. Hoping to figure out what's going on and get it taken care of.
