    So repairs to our section of the building seem to be ending. This is me checking out the March 7 UAC from the kitchen counter. We never planned to buy/live in Florida, but this view convinced us otherwise.

    @SModa61 Lovely!! And no state income tax :)

    Podcast that I tend to like is Food Code. Has nutrition aspect which suits the geek in me.

    @lesdarts180 - Seeing your difficulties with arthritis. I don't know how much has been discussed already and I just saw your post today. Has the concept of an anti-inflammatory diet even been investigated? I don't know much about it, but I know there is such a concept and maybe nutritional approaches could help. On another note, glad you liked the dog video. I loved it when I first heard the story. What a great dog! :)

    @Thabit11 - Iron has been an issue for me. Been battling it for a few years, and oral supplements are not an option due to their digestive consequences. When I began MFP, I changed my setting for what is tracked. Don't recall what I removed, but I added Fiber and Iron, since I need both. As of January, my iron is officially normal. Yay! as more aggressive testing was coming next. Fortified grains are great with iron - yes, cereal, cream of wheat, oatmeal, and probably bread, but I would have to look. As post menopausal, I only need 50% RDA/day, just like a man. Menstruating females need the full 100%. I happen to eat Fiber One Cereal. Tastes like twigs, but great iron 25% RDA and starts my day with 14 grams of fiber. I also began making homemade vegetable soup that I have for lunch (which I have missed the past 2 weeks), that is a "detox" soup, but has a nice amount of iron. I have also used cream of wheat as a snack when wanting an iron boost. For 110 calories, it contains 50% RDA.

    @Mshawski - thanks for the badge heads up

    @RBNorth66 - glad you are on the mend!

    Yes, yes and yes
    6 mile hike and 10 min weight workout (Would have liked to have done more of a weight workout but I was tired so I am giving myself points for doing 10 minutes and showing up)

    @mshawski Thanks for the notification on the Apple Watch challenge. I am pretty sure you mentioned a prior challenge that I did not know about and was able to secure because you posted it. Much appreciated!!! :)

    Yes, yes, and yes, although the exercise was just yardwork. I did about 4 hours but only put 1 into the app... I believe MFP greatly overestimates my yardwork calorie burns. Felt good to get out, it was a bit cold but winter seems to be winding down.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes.
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Don't know
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? No. I went to in-laws today and had lunch. Even though I didn't track, I kept thinking about this group and it definitely kept me from overeating.

    Brand new here today! Was so excited to see this group as I just made the cut off of the 7th and in my attempt to keep it simple, I’d already mentally made the goal of sticking to allotted calories and doing some type of exercise 20 minutes a day.
    I’ve really been struggling with hunger as a breastfeeding mom and a person with cravings. (I have given myself an extra 500 calories to account for breastfeeding and I’m still struggling with hunger on top of that. Ravenous! I did not struggle quite like this after my first pregnancy).
    I’ve lost a little weight in the 4 months since I’ve had my baby but I seem to be pretty stuck and losing/gaining the same 2 pounds over and over.
    Nice to be here and amazing quote!
    Stayed within Calories: Yes
    Exercise at least 20 minutes: Yes

    Welcome aboard @cbarnes1001 !
