    @Mrs_Hoffer - Congrats on the new category! 🤗🥳

    @donna25trinity - is it weird that my first thought when I read your post was “oh she’s a tea drinker that puts milk in her tea, I knew I liked her.” 😂🤣

    C✔️ T✔️ E✔️ Exercise today was a 9-mile walk today, counter pushups and planks.

    PASSES USED: 1/3 (12Aug)

    ✔️ Net carbs <25%? Yes. 17%
    ✔️ Protein >100g? Yes. 100g.

    I have to measure my coffee creamer as well - I'm very heavy handed and can very easily double a "serving size" without even realizing it! All those little "extras" really add up!

    Yep im very heavy handed too!!

    Back on track and in a clearer mindset today.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? - Yes! Had a great long walk outdoors heading to the vet clinic to meet my husband and puppy (confirmed kennel cough). It is spreading through town at an unprecedented pace and we do take him to the off leash park where he loves to play with others. Medication on board and his cough is a already much less tonight. He should improve quickly.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? - Yes, under.

    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? - Yes!

    I take milk in my tea too @mshawski and @donna25trinity ☕️🫖🥛 And like everyone else, I have accounted for it every day (I pre-track it and my vitamins/minerals/supplements).

    Exercise at least 20 minutes? YES!!!! For the first time in what feels like forever, I was able to get out and do something.
    inrfu28uhkt3.jpg

    My party runners got me through week 1, day 2 of C25k twice, with a little extra to round up to 4 miles in just over an hour I wasn't fast, but it felt good to run. Sadly, though, I had a bit of heel slippage and thus developed a small blister. Need to re-google/youtube how to do the lock lacing because I think it's something "fancier" then just using the extra lace hole in the shoes. At least, that's how it sounded when I listened to a discussion about it a couple of years ago. Two of the runners suggested Balega socks, which I will check out. Another suggested that the unusual humidity here is at least a partial culprit and she said that a generous amount of aquaphor on her blister hotspots has helped.

    When I got home, I put the leash on Sienna and took her out on the Loop. We ran into a neighbor and his pitbull/mastiff mix, Chimichanga. Sienna and Chimi tolerate each other, not terribly excited one way or the other about being near each other, although Sienna likes Michael and Chimi came to me for a few scritches. We walked with them and it turned into just over 3 miles. The dogs were well behaved and I had a nice walk with a cute young man. Younger than I thought, actually, but, well, I may be old, but I can still enjoy the scenery, right? ;)

    So... I did 7.3 miles in just over 2.5 hours. The heel pain, unfortunately, was there, so we've dug out my daughter's night splint for plantar fasciitis. I'll use it and see what happens. I may have to replace the insoles in the party runners with a plantar fasciitis insole.

    Tomorrow I ride. :)

    Did I track everything? I think I got everything, so I'm going to give this a yes.

    Did I stay within calories? Well, no. It's really sad how many calories are in a cheeseburger and fries. I might have done it if I'd not had the bun... or the fries. But.... I am weak.

    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? no I didn't, at my brother's birthday at a Brazilian bbq place - definitely went over
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes, as best I could but it was a lot of estimating

    Pass day used - 2/3 (Aug 16, Aug 22)
