    @DaffyGirl88 Those are great tips for going out/socializing with friends. I'm going to try to remember them for myself too!

    I feel like I'm almost always spending my week trying to make up the damage I've done on the weekend. My sister and grandma spent the weekend with us so having guests on top of the potty training was pretty stressful and we all know how terrible I am at handling stress!

    Beware the idea of March.

    Stupid autocorrect...that was supposed to be "ides" :(

    I think you had it right since this pandemic started last March. I will forever beware the idea of March.

    Speaking of that whole thing. I am finally to the point where I need to wear a belt again for the first time since this pandemic started and I gained a bunch of weight. But somehow the scale isn’t budging and I am still heavier than I was last year.
    I will never totally understand the body and weight loss. But I am happy with this progress and am just going to keep going at it.

    @erikNJ Ha! You may be right about March. I saw a meme that said "March 2021. Just like March 2020 except we have toilet paper" LOL

    Congrats on the belt and good to see you!

    ug... I actually posted this...

    Todays Goal:
    Double my steps from yesterday, just for today.

    The take-aways:
    First...always have coffee before challenging yourself (wait, did I really say that?)
    Second...always do the math (I need to do how many?)

    Yesterday 7747 X 2 = 15,494
    So far today 16,197

    But I sure looked silly walking in circles in that parking lot for the past two hours. For those of you who regularly get these types of steps in each day, respect. How in the world do you do it?

    @maryc11 Great job! I knew you could do it!

    How do I do it? Perseverance. And a lot of small walks throughout the day. I'm teleworking and try to get up every hour and walk to the end of my street and back, takes 8-10 minutes. At the office I would do a lap around the building, it's a big square. I take a short walk at lunch and maybe again after dinner, about 20 minutes. They all add up. But don't look at my count for yesterday, between meetings and rain I only got about 6k. 😕

    @DaffyGirl88 thanks for the vote of confidence, I admit it did keep me going yesterday. Breaking it up into smaller walking sessions seems to be the way to go for awhile. I am moving fine today, was a bit concerned my ankles would be screaming at me but, nope.

    Todays Goal (and before coffee) = daily average for the month of March (to be modified slightly if greater than 3.2 miles)

    Hope the sun is out for you today and smiles on you as you walk the walk. :)

    MUAC for 3/16:
    Tracked: yes
    Under: yes
    Exercised: yes - 20 minutes walk (pooch not with me as she was in obedience class)

    Last night I had to still do a lot of work, and really did not want to take the time to walk, but I remembered I think it was @annabanamc recently pushing herself to go for a walk when she didn't want to--so I did, too. You all are a great influence. It actually helped clear my head and I was able to get my work done.

    @murdog31 - I'm sorry you've been in pain. I hope you are feeling better soon.

    @DaffyGirl88 and @maryc11 - Creative tips and excellent work on the steps!

    I ended up taking a rest day yesterday. I was feeling a little tired and off after the vaccine on Monday - nothing big deal but I decided to let my body focus on MAKING ANTIBODIES!! pretty excited about that.

    @richmondwriter today you are inspiring me - I WILL get my walk in!
