Forgot to post before I went to bed last night, but it's a pass day.
I got the exercise done - including a bike ride with my 6 year old grandson.
Didn't worry about trying to estimate dinner, we were eating in a restaurant.
Well done to all those going into the Winner's circle!4 -
Having fun in London, great seeing my kids after all this time! Doing lots of walking, but it's impossible to count or record calories.4

A pint of ice cream !?!?!? 😦😧🤢
I couldn't eat a pint of ice cream even if I wanted to. All that fat and sugar would have me climbing the walls and/or writhing in agony.
Horses for courses 😂 😂 😂 Each to their own taste.0 -
@bradkcrew kudos to you for even attempting a 5k the day after your 10k run! I can't even imagine! 🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️💨
@jamcnewman YES!! they had my favorite flavor! There's nothing like walking 5.5miles to find that the store is sold out of MY FAVORITE FLAVOR!!! 😠😒😡🗯
@ForLangston Yay!! You have done well this month - congrats!! Consistency is the key!!
@ashleycarole86 Thanks! I've always LOVED walking! 10 years ago or so I got it in my head that I wanted to try to walk the AT (Appalachian Trail). I was working at the time, so my plan was to walk a portion of it over my summer vacation (2 wks) every summer and see how far I could get! For for vacation one year, DH and I decided to go to NC and we tried to walk a portion of it on a couple of "day trips". It absolutely KILLED my knees! And I got altitude sickness. Ugh. By the next summer, I'd lost almost 50 lbs, and we tried again (we went to Maine this time). I really thought that taking that much weight off would really help with the knee problem - but it did not. 😟😞😢
I enjoy reading about people who "walk across America" or walk Route 66 from Chicago to Calif..... stuff like that! If I was 20-30 years younger, I think I'd love to give that a try! I can walk flat surfaces, or even hills - I just really struggle to climb mountains with these knees! 3 -
@Healthymumlife Love the picture!!
@seilidhe You are definitely a CHAMPION!
@Geneveremfp Huge kudos to you for your consistency. It's a small % of newbies that make it to the end of their first month - especially once they've use up their 4 passes... I think you've done a FABULOUS job this month!!
@lesdarts180 awesome day, bike-riding with your grandson!
@Chinkiri It thrills my heart that you're able to spend time with your family after so long! Enjoy!!!!

@Mrs_Hoffer - I smile every time you mention your ice cream walk. As for the AT, I have a friend who set out to do the whole thing this year. He trained for a couple months, walking every day at a local state park with his pack. However, he had to stop after about half way. He hasn’t said exactly why he made that decision, he just told me he was unprepared for the constant up and down, that the trail was rarely flat and the constant climbing and descending took a toll on him. He was thin when he left, he looks emaciated now.
@Healthymumlife - what a beautiful picture. I assume that’s a bike/walking trail?
3 yeses for me, although I fell out of the habit of counting freggies. I’ll pick that back up today. I always think I eat a lot but when I started counting I realized it doesn’t amount t9 as much as I thought.
Pass days: 3/3

Same here. I've even been thinking about how to do an #icecreamwalk myself (seems like a viral hashtag if I've ever seen one).ashleycarole86 wrote: »@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.
I can only walk in the very early hours on the weekends because of the kids, and don't regularly have any crazy long afternoon walks during the week. So I'm not sure that I can do it quite the proper justice in taking my spoon and eating on the return (that mental imagery alone is awesome). But I really love this concept and am working on finding some solution.
I only learned just yesterday that keto ice cream is a thing, that I could actually eat and fit in my macros. Obviously I have not even browsed the ice cream aisle for a long time (not to mentionhave been eating very clean). So it also seems like I'm trying to fit something weird in. But looking it up, it seems quite clean-ish and geared for me. So there's no reason to not try it in my book!

Sorry all.
I did what I shouldn't and checked out of MFP while on vacation. On the plus side, I only gained about 3 lbs.
Not quite back into the swing, but easing into it and should be back on my daily routine for September.
Started out tracking well yesterday, but did not exercise and then had some extra bites that I didn't track and put me over calories late night.3 -

Good morning! Yesterday we went to church then i had to frantically clean before my mom came (from 5 hours away) then just relaxed in the evening. So no tracking was done, exercise though was, and no clue if i stayed below my calories

Got back into the gym after two weeks off, and then the usual dog walking3 -
@Mrs_Hoffer thank you. I did have a brief second where I thought it would be easier to just slink away rather than admit to using up lots of pass days. But accountability doesn't really mean anything if you only do it when it's easy. I really appreciate this group.3

@WhatMeRunning #icecreamwalk sounds like a great hashtag in my book ... we need to execute on this stat and make @Mrs_Hoffer proud
@Mrs_Hoffer How you described your joy of walking is exactly how I feel! I get an insane amount of pleasure walking a far distance just because. Sometimes when my husband and I go somewhere I'll walk home just for the sake of saying I did. Or I'll just plan a far walk in the city for the fun of saying I went to that place on foot. The walking across the country thing sounds amazing.3 -
