Your comment today re: not needing to be extreme excercisers to be healthy was really on target today @RangerRickL ! I’ve had this pain all day that feels like a kidney stone (not that I’ve had one before, but it sure feels like it!) 😥. So I didn’t do as much as I usually do or would’ve liked to, but stayed on track...

Ab workout, tracked, and at. Grateful for this group as I'm so over the collection of measuring cups and spoons. But these tools and group help me a LOT so I'm staying the course!6

Still going strong...no pass days used yet...woohoo! One day at a time!5 -
Exercise: Walk day here as well! 40 min outdoors. The sun was out and was only 32 so trying to enjoy the sun between all the GD snowstorms.
Calories: Yes, 4 left! Lol.
Tracked: Yes.
Still holding onto that last pass day that’s unused!
My 5 week forecast after closing out my journal for the day is FINALLY showing the 170s so that’s a treat. (187 as of this morning - down 54!)
Something I’ve been debating putting out there for a couple days but it keeps bugging me so I might as well: What are your thoughts on goal adjustments mid/post journey? I keep seeing height weight charts that have a top weight for my height that’s lower than I thought. My goal was 160, as the chart I originally used said the top of normal weight for 5’8” was 167 and I have a larger frame and I tend to build muscle so I have always been towards the higher end even in my skinny days. I do want to be a little under though so I’m not constantly fluctuating over that “overweight” line. I just saw a bunch where the top weight for 5’8” is 160 so I’m debating if my goal needs to be lower. I can’t decide if it’s meaner to myself to extend my goal out another 10lbs and set my progress back 10lbs mid journey or “reach my goal” but not really be done. Both seem very defeating. Height/weight charts are just mean. Lol.
Anyhoo. I hope everyone had a good day. ❤️8 -

Pass day 2
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Yes. Walking
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
No. Not over by a lot, but over
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?
No. But most of it. The birthday cake was the end of tracking
Today was my daughter’s birthday. Seems that it’s getting harder to get together to celebrate special occasions these days. Hopefully things will get back to normal before too long, but unfortunately the virus is having a bit of an outbreak in my area

@Bovaryoo My very early morning cup of coffee is an obstacle to staying focused on doing exercise. The pause to make and drink coffee allows distractions to change my focus.
Tomorrow morning, I will do my first cup while stretching and then go out into the desert trails.
Best wishes,

@mshawski Please take your own body insights seriously. Recommended generalized opinions of WEIGHT, do not take into account your body build nor your muscle mass. Please be fit, healthy and happy!!
You are you and not anybody else!!
Respectfully,

Lots of catch up work today, so I did not get to the horse until late afternoon. After an hour of movement, I felt great!!
Tracking: good

Walking is very cheap and healthy. Sometimes, when it's snowing outside and I can't go out for a walk. I pop in Leslie Sansone Walk-at-Home and walk. You can find lots of her walk at home exercises on YouTube3 -

I feel your pain on this--- I'm tall too and the BMI charts aren't very good about taking into account all body types. I think the best measure is how you feel, your doc visit results (know your cholesterol, etc), how your clothes fit, and how difficult it is for you to maintain at whatever weight you reach. If you're going to extremes to be 160 or less--- than your body is trying to tell you NO.
I'm 5'9" and muscle mass I've put on, has me 10 lbs heavier than I originally was while fitting in the same clothing and same measurements. The struggle is real... just try'n to be as healthy and active as I can each day--that's all we can do!🤗6 -
Yes to all 33

Calories ✔️
Exercise: No
Tracking ✔️
We had new windows installed today, so the house was full of workers and I had my hands full keeping our spirited dog out of their way. Probably could have managed to exercise this evening, but instead I decided to give myself a break.

My exercise today was pathetic... But I'm counting it because it was all I could do.
My calf pain seems to be an actual injury, so I can't run, I can barely walk honestly.. I could use some advice on indoor equipment free exercise I can do that doesn't require my calf muscles...
Yesterday was a pass day. All the driving, Senate committee meetings, lack of sleep, boxes of doughnuts, and the italian dinner that was served just was to much for me. I didn't have the option to take my own food, and there was no opportunity to exercise at all. After the long day of meetings and travel with both my young kids in tow the whole time, I didn't have energy to exercise once I got home. I am a bit worried about the fact that I have to do this again a few more times over the course of the next couple weeks and I'm running out of pass days.4 -
Went for a quick half-hour walk this morning, because I had woken up feeling fed up and it was a beautiful morning, but paid no attention to my posture or my breathing, just wanted to put in the steps. Will go again this afternoon, even if it's only for 15 minutes and pay attention to this. Walking as a form of 'being in the moment'? @MadisonMolly2017
@Chinkiri
Exactly! Sometimes I’m in my head the whole time. Other times I’m noticing every bud, petal, lichen... walking is wonderful in millions of ways!lesdarts180 wrote: »10/02/2021

Under our current lockdown rules we are only "allowed out" once a day so I have to choose between bike and walk. I do lots of walking exercises indoors but you don't get a proper walking pace or stance as you are constantly either going forwards and backwards or round in circles! But when i can get out more I will try to remember the tips above.
Also, the indoor cardio "walking workouts" include a lot of movement that isn't walking.
It was freezing again today but dry and bright so I told myself not to be a wimp but "just do it" and went out for a 30 minute ride. The sun always makes me feel better.
@lesdarts180 I wonder if you could bike & then walk your bike! 😁2
