Tomorrow's a new day!@33gail33 , for exercise I lift free weights in my basement, too! I use Fitness Blender and LOVE it! I also walk a lot usually about 10-15k steps a day between work and the dog. (my fitbit isn't syncing lately-anyone else having that issue?)

I need to work on that, I run closer to only 5K steps a day. 12000 steps is amazing! My intentional exercise currently is running (not very fast, but still...) and I'm doing the beach body mbfa program right now which is strength/cardio combined. I've got a half marathon from March 2020 that is rescheduled for October of this year. I have never run more than 10 miles and that was truly horrible. I have no idea what possessed me to sign up for the half - but it does motivate me to keep up with a running schedule.

My goal is 8,000 steps on my fitbit, which is tough to hit when I work from home, but I managed 12,000 + twice already this week. Did my 30 minute walk this morning, wasn't feeling the spin bike but managed 25 minutes of intervals. We are renovating our basement right now so my weight lifting area isn't available atm - hoping to get that straightened out this weekend. What intentional exercise does everyone do here? I am getting more and more fit as I lose weight. It used to be a chore for me to walk a quarter mile and do 2,000 steps/day. Now I'm up to 1.5 mile walks and 6,000+ steps/day. Here's my daily routine:in the morning, walk a mile and a half in a nearby park (this takes about 40 minutes). every other day, drive a ways to enjoy a 54 minute 1600 yard swim in a heated Olympic pool. on alternate days, swim for 30 minutes or so in an unheated (currently ~65 degree) pool at my gym, right after doing a 30 minute resistance training circuit. in the evenings, do some light yoga and leg stretches and exercises. in a month or so, start riding my bike again, with the goal of riding 10 miles/day. future plans: begin practicing tai chi again this summer. As a retired person with no family, I have plenty of time to spend on fitness, so 2+ hours a day of exercise is doable for me (and I need it!).

Still pissed but I haven’t indulged in sweets, alcohol and overeating which is my normal go too. Extremely proud of myself. Hope everyone is having a great Friday.

Yesterday, while I was doing my yoga practice at home the doctor's office called and said they still haven't found what has been causing my chest pain and dizzies. So I'm pretty upset about that. I live an HR away from everything and just want to drive again at this point. I have been logging all my foods. Even though I stressed ate a little more yesterday I still was under my calorie goal. Almost on a 90 day streak (for logging)! I am going to make up the yoga I didn't finish yesterday today 😬

Hopefully I can get through the rest of my day without looking at the goodies in the kitchen...lol. Tomorrow is my weigh in day. Crossing my fingers for something good. Either way it turns out, I had a good week with minor hiccups at night. Thanks @Calli1616... starting my workout early today was actually not so bad seeing how I'm use to doing it so late in the day. Maybe this can be my new thing.

Walked 1.67 miles in the park, did 20 minutes of strength training, and swam 1500 yards (for a total of 854 calories burned). I weighed a little over 260 this morning. I will celebrate when I break 260 because that will be 70 pounds lost since last July (when I set a goal of 230 by July 10th of this year). I don't think I'll hit that goal, but I think I might get within 10 pounds of it. Good luck to everyone on your own journey!
