I spent most of the day outside on the farm. Lots of walking and horse related activities. Non-exercise activity was hooking up the horse trailer and practicing backing and parking the horse trailer. Like most physical skills, practice is necessary.
Calories were well below maintenance
Tracking is okay6 -

✅☑️✔️❤️(Sleep was especially great)
A fun day with friends…ate what we brought & got take out that was moderate in quantities & calories.
Was concerned about not getting in my walk so climbed the grandstand steps several times & walked a bunch at the racetrack & then took off for another 5K steps while my husband did some me handicap work.
A real success. Very pleased.
I plan to make the most of the next 9 days 👍😀🎉6 -

Re: not being too hard on oneself…
Yes … and no.
Yes…. always be respectful to yourself. Speak to yourself with the compassion you would give a friend or a child who is practicing. Kind support.
No, because sometimes we need to stop a “runaway train” … we do it because we love ourself. But we have to do it to meet our longterm goals. So just as the above, we do this as we would for a friend or a child. Kind, yet helpful…identifying root causes, ways to fix them, and holding oneself to one’s own commitments.
Kind, supportive, yet firm.
Some may consider this being “hard on oneself.” But I say gaining all my weight back would be being “hard on myself.”
Sometimes we have to do what we don’t want to, but know is best for us.5 -

Exercise at least 20 minutes? Yep. Rode my bike this morning. 72 minutes and about 13 miles. I did discover that my Runkeeper app seems to not like it when I pause it and then take pictures using the phone camera. The app shut down. The first time I thought I accidentally shut it off, but the next time, I specifically and carefully, paused the app and opened the camera. When I closed the camera, and called up the Runkeeper window again, it had reset. I was frustrated because I thought my time was messed up. It wasn't until I got home that I realized that each time, the app had actually saved my rides.
Did I track everything? Yep, I did estimate on some of it, and I just hope I didn't underestimate by too much.
Did I eat within my calorie limits? Surprisingly enough, I did. I hope.From my ride today... I can't think of how long it's been since I have seen the jimson weed (aka devil's trumpet aka loco weed) blooming in such profusion. I was a bit concerned that there were some plants in the pasture with the horses and burros, but all three animals seemed more interested in the other greenery.

Pass. Needed another day. Up and active today but going to take it slow. In the past I would have been upset by another pass day but my calories consumed are pretty much in maintenance and maybe about 100 over a few times so I’m okay with that. In the past, my calories over would have been 500-1000. I don’t want to stay at maintenance or slightly over though because I have more to go and my weight tends to creep up if I don’t give myself a pass day for eating at maintenance. So although I am not upset by it, I am not going to let it slide.

@clutterqueen awesome job staying right at your goal though!
@tahm42 it's especially "hard" when we're not in a good mood! I'm so glad that yours improved with your purchase! Isn't that what they call "retail therapy"?
@jamcnewman Congrats on hitting your protein goal! That's not an easy task!
@bradkcrew I got my old bike out a month ago and was surprised at how I could hardly ride it up and down my (hilly) country road! Even though I'm a pretty tough walker, it took a lot more out of my legs to ride than I would've thought! I would def consider a "stopping and going" bicycle ride as exercise.... I guess as long as my stops weren't very long!
@MadisonMolly2017 You're doing terrific on fine tuning the sleep habit!
@seilidhe I hate when that happens!
But I guess now you know that you can't stop the app to take pics!! Lol. AWESOME JOB on the 3 yes day, by the way!!!
Congrats on 3 yesses today: @tahm42 @jamcnewman @bradkcrew @ForLangston @RangerRickL @Anya_000 @ashleycarole86 @_JeffreyD_ @MadisonMolly2017 @JTreasures @seilidhe @tdrjustus3 @calvin20874 @LazyBlondeChef @DebyS137 @biketheworld3 -
I have passed a lot of time on the treadmill while listening to youtube quilting videos.Now if only I could walk on my treadmill and quilt at the same time!!
@LazyBlondeChef - LOL good meme. In my case, it's been an "off 2 months." But, I'm on track, haven't gained weight, and the scale is starting to move down again.
I started using StitchFix about 6 months ago. Never in my life did I think I'd enjoy something like this. My most recent box, I kept every single item. Every one. Including a pair of slacks that would NOT have fit 6 months ago but are comfortable, stylish and fit fantastic. Slacks/pants/jeans are my nemesis and are extremely difficult to find.This is why I buy myself mini goal rings and subscribe to StitchFix. While I’m not totally all about clothes and dislike shopping (hence the styling service), wearing a pretty dress or ring that didn’t fit six months is a visual reminder of the “win”.3 -

Yeah I used to buy my jeans/pants from Victoria Secret and am still using jeans from then. One of the nice things about maintenance I suppose but when they start to fall apart maybe I will try stitchfix. I really like the ones which ride lower around your hips and I know that style is no longer popular but I can't stand things up around my waist anymore. I wish VS had not quit selling other products except lingerie.0 -

Isn't it a delight? I have never been super into the whole clothes thing, but I adore this service. Perhaps actually liking the clothes I fit into has changed my mindset. I hate shopping in person and I've proven via online shopping that I won't venture into anything that doesn't look like a bag designed to hide me - so someone else making the choices has gotten me things that make me have shape. Which, it's new... and weird?
Editing to add: I think the most helpful part of this is that I find liking my clothes motivating, so worst case scenario even if I don't drop another size I'm going to work to stay in the size I'm in. So it's like a little box of motivation that drops on my doorstep every 4-6 weeks.3 -

@Mrs_Hoffer I agree, it was harder than expected, especially with all of the walking and running I have been doing. It was actually my son that told me it was similar to a casual stroll so it didn't count, lol. Easy to say when you are 24!

This is one of the reasons I stopped biking & have focused on walking - I want the walking muscles for future travel so I can see more museums etc & so I can keep up with family as I age
Biking, though, is my first live - just too dangerous with distracted cell phone drivers around here 🥲2 -
