Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day?
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank?

    Today's exercise was 35 mins walking before church this morning, and then my 11-mile ice cream walk this afternoon.

    I like ice cream, but not if I have to walk 11 miles for it! 😂

    3 ✅’s Today

    No Winners Circle. Way too many pass days.
    I don’t qualify for Champions either as I didn’t post a couple of days.

    @bradkcrew - Congrats on feeling strong enough to attempt a 5k the very next day after running your first 10k! Most people have trouble just getting up to walk the next day.

    As for calories, sadly it's not that simple. My advice there is just keep training at a safe level.

    One thing that might be worth remembering is that your cardio and muscles don't get stronger, better, faster from exercise, but from the rest and recovery after the exercise.

    Excellent day today:
    ✅ Tracking
    ✅ Under calories
    ✅ Exercise - In addition to my extended puppy walk today (have finally mastered the harness system), I did two hours of gardening, the most strenuous of which was the clear out and clean up. Massive sunflowers stalks pulled and broken down into the composter (heads are in the bird feeder), clear out of the mildewed cucumber patch, weeding, and cutting back the shrubs. It looks so much better. I expect that my arms will be sore tomorrow. 😐

    I have used two pass days this month and fully intend to be in the winners’ circle!

    This experience has been so helpful to this newbie. Thank you for all your help, insights, and encouragement.

    But the burning question is — did they have your favourite flavour this week this week @Mrs_Hoffer ? I hope so!

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? ✅ 12 minutes yoga and two walks totaling 107 minutes
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? ✅
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? ✅

    Pass days used 2/3
    Will be hitting up that winner's circle for sure :)

    @Mrs_Hoffer the concept of the ice cream walk is SO fun to me and this would totally motivate me too. Firstly just because I LOVE covering long distances on foot.. and the fact you said you take your spoon and eat on your way back just makes me smile.
