August 7
yes to all questions.
Pass day: 0
Calories to burns: 47,740. Yesterday: 45,430. Since I gained some today, I only walked again. When I lose some, I will do a harder workout in addition to walking.
Being positive means waking up in the morning ready to tackle any obstacles in the way and end the day victoriously.
Goodnight to you all 💜💛.3 -

Great topic!
I resonate with many of the replies posted.
I choose to live in spite of the negative.
I wasn't always that way though.

@Anya_000 Glad it resonated - in a positive way - with you. And kudos on your 3x day.
@bradcrew Thank you for saying so. If only we could take our compliments for each other and then use them more often on ourselves...

Loving these long walks @oh_jackie

✔️ Protein >100g? Yes. 116g.
✔️ Yoga. Yes.
Kettlebell. Rest Day.
✔️ 12k steps? Yes, 19,000
WEEKEND STEP CHALLENGE UPDATE: I completed 19k steps and 6 miles today! The rain moved in and DH came and picked me up! (I had brought an umbrella, but the wind was whipping around pretty good, so I'm glad he came!) 🌂 Plus there was lightning, and that makes it a whole different monster...... ⚡
But THAT MEANS that the balance of my weekend step commitment is due tomorrow!! 31k steps, and 10 more miles! 👣👟 (But no worries! My Sunday "ice cream walks" are 11 miles and usually give me 28k - 30k steps.) As long as the rain holds off, I should be fine!!
Great opening post @MaltedTea !! And WONDERFUL job on the protein today!!
What does being positive look like for you today?
For me, being positive means doing my best on any given day, and not dwelling on the past, or beating myself up over my shortcomings and failures. And I
the positivity of this group. 7 -

Tracking: Yes. I know I am getting on board because today I thought my scale battery was dead and I momentarily panicked, lol. Better go get a spare.
Calories: Yes, Another red warning day, so I am going to try to do better tomorrow.
Exercise: Yes, not what I wanted to do, but I was determined to get in 20 minutes somehow rather than take a pass day. I couldn't get out to run before dark, so I messed up my training week. Not that I am training for anything! Anyway, I decided it might be fun (said no one ever) to just climb up and down my stairs for 20 straight minutes. 13 up, pivot, 13 down, pivot, repeat...repeat...repeat. It was pretty miserable, so I say it counts as exercise!

Pass day #1
Was helping my daughter organize all her stuff in her new apartment, for 5 1/2 hours. Got my 6 1/2 mile run in and a trip to the farmers market first though. Too tired to log or think at this point.6 -
Another great starting post. Positivity. I have always looked for the pitfalls in life. I think that’s what made me good at my job - advising people of all the terrible things that could happen in every scenario imaginable and how best to protect against as many as possible. It has taken me a long time to realize that I wasn’t enjoying my personal life as I was always catastrophizing (such a great word). It’s taken even longer to notice when I’m starting to go down that rabbit hole and change my perspective, but I am now successful at it the majority of the time. I am finally living in the moment. The universe throws terrible things at us - leaving dirty dishes in the sink does not a tragedy make.

Did I exercise at least 20 minutes? I did. I rode the same route this morning that I rode Thursday morning. I improved my time by 5 minutes.
Did I track everything? I did.
Did I stay within calorie budget? I did not. Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
Positivity? I tend to be more optimistic most of the time... but lately, it's been a stretch, due to things around here. Still I try. And I try to impart some sense of positivity to my daughter (mostly unsuccessfully, but I keep trying). Ah well...
I'm off to bed. Want to ride again in the morning. I need the time.
