*Normally I don't ever eat back my exercise calories. But on the days that I do my "ice cream walk", I do. I burn approx 1000 calories walking 11 miles into town, buy a pint of Rebel's keto Triple chocolate ice cream, and then walk back home, eating it as I go! A pint of it is 610 calories. I figure I still come out ahead! 6 -
Ouch! So sorry to hear @MaltedTea I am actually cringing in sympathy. I wish you a speedy and full recovery. Your rehab plan looks really good (no surprise, you're always very well researched and know your stuff).2

Tracked, walked but went over. 7/18 days sugar, I think it's 5 pass days.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES. Did a 30 minute walking w arms YouTube video while my son napped and then a bit over an hour on Cubii
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
NEAT is something I really need to work on. Pre-COVID, I always took the stairs (3rd floor desk) and did a fair amount of walking to break room to refill water bottles (and consequently to and from bathroom), but still spent a LOT of time, just sitting. Great topic for thought.3 -
@LazyBlondeChef Thanks for the opening post on NEAT. I had to chuckle with your comment about learning to be more inefficient. Years ago, I had read that those who had a lower metabolic rate (I am one of those) have learned to be very movement-efficient.
I appreciate you and your post.

Did I exercise at least 20 minutes? Yep, got somewhere between 40-50 minutes tonight walking with my daughter and the dog.
I got some minimal NEAT time in too as we wandered through Target this afternoon and when I took Sienna out for a couple of potty treks. I guess I get some NEAT time in the walks to/from the bus station, back and forth to the courtrooms (starting tomorrow, I will take the stairs at least once), and, when I'm at my office desk popping up for everything I print instead of just printing a bunch of things before I stand up (since we're going paperless, that's happening less and less though). Also, there are times when there's a break in hearings and I can go into the little connecting hallway (foyer?) between the courtroom and the main chambers hallway where I try to stretch out some of the kinks. Sadly, that doesn't happen often. We (as in other clerks) have asked about standing desks for our offices. We were told it's not going to happen. In the courtroom, we have to sit unobtrusively behind our computers, so standing desks aren't going to happen in there either. Ah well.
Did I track everything? Yep.
Did I stay within calorie goals? (Wait for it....) YES!!!! Hot damn! A 3 yes day!
Pass days used? Ummm... I've lost track again. 12/3? Something like that, I'm sure.
Freggies... I had 2 servings of blueberries this morning. And a largish Caesar salad with shrimp for lunch. So, I'll call that 3-3.5 servings of veggies. Not great, but an improvement over most days.I am not a huge veggie fan. My daughter less so. She will only eat certain ones and I get tired of those after some time and then I fall off the "allowed" veggies list and have some potatoes or something. And we only shop every other week so fresh veggies are difficult to keep. Frozen has its issues as well since the fridge has a small freezer that is usually filled with meats and stuff. Still I do what I can. As for fruits, well, with the diet plan I'm *supposed* to be following, I'm only allowed berries (which I love), but only half a cup twice a week. That may or may not happen. In other words... some weeks I do just that.
Some weeks it may be a cup or more a couple of times a week (see what I said about the blueberries above). Some weeks I don't get any fruit at all. And some weeks, there may be additional types of fruit in the mix. I'm not really very good at this diet anymore. I used to be much more dedicated. That needs to change, I know.

@MaltedTea sorry to hear bout ur injury. After i gave birth i had pelvic dysfunction, which is very rare and mainly something runners get and i dnt run lol! Long story short pain was in my groin and pelvis and it literally took me almost a year to recover from and tbh there a days i can still feel it play up. Its was extremely frustrating so im really glad to hear that ur sooooo on to it and that u hve already started to modify ur workouts so that u dnt exacerbate it!! Super clever and proactive!! Xox4 -

@ashleycarole86 please be careful! That wildfire smoke is very worrisome! Just curious, how far are you from the actual fire(s)?0 -

As for NEAT, my main thing is pacing around the apt while I'm thinking or listening to music. I used to do this all the time, but a couple months ago I realized it really dropped off when I'd gained a lot of weight. Pre-Covid I was really good about walking to a farther train station.
Fruits/Veggies - slipped up on this one. Spaced out at breakfast about this and needed to save calories for the day because my dad was making us homemade pizza. I did have a veggie one (spinach, roasted red peppers, tomatoes, & onions) but I think at best I'm at 2.5 serving for the day.4 -

@MaltedTea
I feel your pain 25 years ago my plantar fasciitis was so bad they actually did surgery to cut it my therapy was many foot movements during the day to allow the scar tissue to lengthen the muscle it worked but my advice; be nice, wear good shoes with support and buy new ones often. I know that’s many $ but it has worked for me my favorites are HOKA’s so lucky I can wear them to work in my job. Keens have worked well in our snowy climate for winter. Best of luck to you stay focused take it easy be nice to your feet. By the way sneakers look great with pj’s in the morning 😊3 -
Fun topic today. I am with friends this week and there's no end to n e a t around here. Haha. We also do a lot of exercise like walking, hiking, and bike riding. We are at high altitude, so that's going to be uncomfortable for the next day or so. Unfortunately there's no end to the available food and snacking which is almost impossible to track. I am pretty sure I am at a net deficit however.1

There is so much to love about all the conversation today. From injuries to activity to freggies, all so interesting, inspiring, and informative.
You all are making me want an Apple Watch! I have a garmin I wear while running or biking but it’s a very simple version without many bells or whistles. Just gives me distance, speed, calories burned. Hubby bought an Apple Watch a couple months ago when he was diagnosed with afib and he loves it.
The freggies challenge is making me realize that what I thought was a serving size, really isn’t. I ate a bunch of baby carrots last night convinced it would be worth at least 3 servings. Then I googled it and read that 12 baby carrots is 1 serving. So I definitely got in 2, but not 3. Therefore, my freggies yesterday totals 4. Blueberries, watermelon, and carrots.4
