    I'm slowing down, I assume with age & my weight, but I'm still doing it!
    I'm thinking 16 minute miles is a pretty good pace! Great job Carmela!
    Thank you! I'm realizing pace is all relative. Back when I was younger and in better shape, I walked this race in 15 minute miles, a couple of times even in 14 minute miles. I'm aiming to complete 30 of the 10K, then I might consider switching to the 5K event that was added last year. Thinking of you and Tim as his surgery approaches, and keeping you in my prayers. Best wishes! P.S. Still love the submarine!

    Recap 6/9 Sun. ~ weather is cloudy & breezy with cool temp & I don't feel like a dog walk today

    @more_freggies76 - I think I need to follow your hour commitments idea today..

    Seriously on the calorie/food intake struggle bus. Very hungry and very tired.. Want to eat a bag of chips and go lay down.

    Pushing water/fluids today, body sore from big hike yesterday

    I have only 667 calories remaining yet today out of 1500 which doesn't leave much for lunch or dinner.

    Just need to get through this day and not go totally off course

    @mytime6630 We kind of expect things to be easier as the summer arrives, but it’s not. It’s a constant battle to stay on track, especially when we have injuries or life crises, but it’s what we need to do to stay fit and healthy. I find that developing and strengthening solid habits works well for me.

    @pridesabtch 😍 the submarine. It’s not surprising that your stress levels are through the roof. I hope it all works well out for Tim.

    @cschmitz110515 That looks like a great time. Well done.

    I went to craft group this morning. I’m hoping to finish my current project and wear it at final meeting before summer recess in a fortnight.

    The kids are back at school. So last two days me and Ash hit the gym

    I'll be honest, the first day wasn't great. Ash had to show me round everything again, I just get weirded out over new places but as soon as I got to grips with where stuff was and what was what and it was pretty easy to figure out because all the machines have very clear info.

    And then because I thought the girls went back to school on Tuesday I booked them in for a hair appointment on the Monday 😂 so I had to grab them from school straight from the gym and get them there then back to school. Which meant our first session was cut short and we were already going pretty slow.

    So today we figured out we can do our own stuff in the gym and keep meeting up and doing bits together. (it's not a massive gym so not hard to find eachother at all)

    I jumped on the treadmill but had to stop because my leggings were slipping down 😩 so got on a bike instead for 15 mins of interval training.
    Then hit some of the weights and ash did some with me, then tried to do a bit more cardio at the end. We went on bikes again, I couldn't do it lol jelly legs so I did stretches, ash said he wasn't feeling the bike so got on the treadmill. I did an inclined walk with him but he gave in after 5 mins.

    So we both hit failure and it was time to go :)

    Sorry bit of a long post!

    Dog has the vet tomorrow so no gym, nothing serious, just annual jabs and kennel cough ready for when we go away in august. I'm gonna see if they can clip his nails, I get too nervous to do it, I don't want to hurt him by accident!

    Hope everyone else is good!

    Work by 8:00 :smiley: close enough
    Approve timecards :smiley:
    Meetings :smiley:
    Log food :(
    No alcohol :(
    Trivia :smiley:
    Hone by 10:00 :smiley:

    Had a few drinks last night at trivia, but we ate dinner before going so that was good. My rule is once a week drinks so it really just means I have to be good the rest of the week.

    Work has been pretty busy this morning, but there isn't much the rest of the day. A few meetings and I need to do an audit. Tim and I have been trying to sort out the insurance billing which is a disaster. A friend and I are going for a hike after work. It was originally going to be a bike ride, but I decided I'd rather go for a hike. I enjoy hiking, but have no sense of direction so I only go new places with those familiar with them.

    Super late again getting on here. I should have gotten on before I went to the store to get a gallon of ice cream.. and ate 2 bowls. But... I bought frozen yogurt, so a little less in calories.
    Busy day today. Had an appt with dermologist, and he removed 2 spots on my face for bioposy. Hope its not cancer.. as its right at the tip of my nose! But... will cross that when it gets here. I think its just a sore, but it keeps coming back, hence the biopsy.
    other than that.. it was a lazy day. Yesterday I way overdid it.. went to the gym in the morning, helped a neighbor pick up sticks and branches for 3 hours... so I think it just hit me today. So hubby and I just sat around and watched youtube videos.
    But.. I did get out for a 4 mile walk tonite.. but then that was bad.. because on the way home I stopped at the grocery store for a box of ice cream!( but .. it was only 1.99 for a half gallon!!).
    Tomorrow my goals are
    1. go to the gym
    2. log all food
    3. get back to calories under 1500
    4. concentrate on water
    Name is Joan. Age 73; 5'11". Been married 47+ years, 2 children, 2 grandkids ( + 3 step grandkids)
    Lives in Missouri. I love to garden, go for long walks, quilt, sew charity stuff. My goal is to stay as "young" as I possibly can... to not only look good, but to feel good, have energy, be able to continue to get up and down gardening, biking, and walking.

    Goals for 2024:
    Staring weight: Jan 7, 2024: 209.0
    Goal weight at the end of 2024: 175-180, and learn to maintain
    Goal to lose 25-30 lbs this year to be in healthy range
    Weight Goals:
    [s]1st goal weight: 199 - reach this by March
    2nd goal weight: 185 - reach this by July. New goal for July 1st -- 195
    Ultimate goal weight: 175- reach this by September New goal for ultimate goal weight ... November

    My triceps 😱

    Deffo over did it in the gym yesterday 😂 I won't be making that mistake again!

    I've tried a couple of tricep machines in the gym but one I LOVED it was so easy to do. Probably how I over did it!

    I also take a pre-workout before going gym so I end up doing more than I normally would if I didn't have it. Plus it gives me epic focus, I would deffo give up earlier without it.

    Might aswell seeing as I'm young enough to take it, don't think you can take it when you have heart problems.

    I'm not going to the gym today but Ash is.

    2) Walked dog 4.09 mi. :smiley: happy dog & happy me
    3) Shop for annuals (flowers) ~ started to rain lightly so didn't linger & potting soil / meal plan & grocery list / now that dates announced, register for next 2 race events / make bank xfer / write check & mail pledge / read / other? gas in vehicle, scrubbed birdbath & refilled, caught up with R2AK posts (happy to find Tracker Junkie group for this year, don't know why it wasn't in my feed earlier) :smiley: TA-DA!

    JFT 6/12 W ~ hot & getting humid, looks like more rain *sigh*
    1) New recipe for white chicken enchiladas for supper / log all food / NO peanut M&Ms / 80 oz. water

      * yellow cake (BH&G cookbook) ~ I followed instructions closely & blended well, very good with rhubarb sauce
      * white chicken enchiladas (newspaper)
    3) Exercise 5-6x per week (minimum 4x):
