    Great job on the no alcohol @jugar! Makes a world of difference to not drink.

    Day 29/75

    I have fallen off track and eating more than I should, not drinking water, or even tracking food. Time to get back on the bandwagon in the morning! I was doing so well at first. Being sick has derailed me and while I couldnt exercise, I could have done everything else.

It wasn't until 50 pounds lost that I l did an after picture. Please take pictures of yourself as you go through this process (you only have to share them with yourself) - It was so nice to see the difference and to know that all this hard work was actually working and noticable.

    My Selfie - We took a hike in a new place yesterday. We have done the lower part of this trail when I first started walking - but it get's real steep and climbs up a small mountain (ok a hill) so we turned around. Yesterday we decided to do it. According to my garmin we ascented 432 feet! Here's Monty and me at the covered bridge at the bottom of the trail - it crosses the Salmon River. I'm beat as this is as we completed the 3 miles.

    Great job on the no alcohol @jugar! Makes a world of difference to not drink.
    Thanks for that - after those 90 days, I'm not looking back! Even though I was not at all a heavy drinker, the difference in my mood, general clarity and positivity is huge. You are right!

    YESSS! Coming back from being sick is a crawl - but you sound strong and determined. Hop right back on, and you'll be feeling even better soon. Track! On track! You've got this.

    March 29 - Day 27/75

    βœ… Food - Portion control working well today :smiley: On track.
    βœ… No alcohol no problem
    βœ… Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. I hit my new strength workout today - it's a good challenge! Then a strenuous training session with my horse (aerobic for sure!) and some exercise bike to come tonight.
    βœ… Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. Very useful perusal of an anatomy textbook and thinking about the back side of the heart. It's pretty danged crowded in there!
    βœ… Water - OK
    βœ… Thoughts - So often the effort of going to ride my horse feels overwhelming. My husband is super allergic to horses, so the "decontamination" aspect is huge. BUT - every single time, it is worth it. Working together, rambling together, or doing whatever we do each time is always powerful, interesting, and happy. He's a good beast!

    I know I missed several days of posting here. I fell of track really badly and I have a 6 lbs gain to show for it, though I honestly expected it to be worse. My tracker for the 75 medium looks like a mess, but I will share it anyway. Yesterday was a perfect day though and I will commit to posting daily here again.

    Yesterday's late post. I am planning a better day today!

    March 30 - Day 28/75

    ❌ Food - Ugh. Nothing to say but whoa! Time to pre-log and work on the stop!
    βœ… No alcohol no problem
    ❌ Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. only 35 minutes on the exercise bike. Too much sitting and too many phone calls!
    ❌ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. Nothing particularly helpful or interesting.
    βœ… Water - OK
    βœ… Thoughts - Meh. A wasted day in so many ways. Will do better tomorrow! I am considering this day a kick in the pants.

    βœ… Exercise: 60 min walk, 30 min recumbent bike, 10 min elliptical
    βœ… Read: Atomic Habits by James Clear
    βœ… Water: Gallon
    βœ… Food: dipped into exercise calories again but worth it to spend time with family and friends.
    βœ…Added Sugar: made a pitcher of hibiscus tea with dried sweetened hibiscus flowers 🌺 everything else was also homemade today so I don’t think there was any hidden sugars but used some ingredients that were in the pantry/freezer that I got when I wasn’t paying super close attention to label ingredients.

    March 31 - Day 29/75

    βœ… Food - Good today. Enough but not overboard!
    βœ… No alcohol no problem
    βœ… Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. A long and strong ride with my horse - he and I both had a good workout. Then 10 miles on the exercise bike, and some lifting of heavy things in between.
    ❌ Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. Too busy for reading today.
    βœ… Water - OK
    βœ… Thoughts - I'm starting to feel the good results of getting back to daily flute practice. With an upcoming concert the 21st, it's about time! I have always kept in pretty good playing shape, but really working daily and taking the time to fix the little details feels good. Not to mention that it is sounding better and better. Now just hoping my cranky shoulder won't get worse...

    @BodyTalking - it is so useful to see the whole month at a go - it certainly makes it clear where harder work is required (gulp) but that is important even if uncomfortable! We still have many days left to go. Let's keep working on the hard stuff :smiley: I love your photos too :smiley:

    Lovely ponies @Pupowl ! Here I am with a friend and her mare (I'm on the one with the ears!) on March 26. The horses love cavorting in the snow.

    We had a ride sans snow yesterday - a great time on all the little back roads. I was having too much fun to take photos...

    @BodyTalking Thank you!
    @jugar Thanks! I love finding animals on my walks to pet. These two ponies have only been in that field for a few days and I haven't seen them before. They were a bit shy, but I got some nose rubs in. Riding in the snow must be so fun! I started horse riding when I was 9 or something. At the end of 2011 I had an accident and after that I slowly started gaining a lot of weight. I haven't been riding since 2014. There is a lot of nature where I live and also a place close to me where you can go for trail rides. Ever since I started my weight loss journey, I had the idea of riding again when I hit 85 kg (187 lbs). I hope to make it there around May, so I am super excited to ride again soon. It isn't cheap, but if I can go out once a month, I will be happy.

    I thought I was doing fine with me eating today πŸ˜•

    I went out for a walk and forgot that I'd arranged to meet a student online πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ I guess I switched my head off for the holiday Monday (her Easter is later - orthodox). As I was heading home, I met my neighbour who was out walking her dog. I don't understand everything she says (my Czech is bad and she's Slovakian) but I did find out that her birthday is in May. I knew she was turning 100 this summer but wasn't sure when. She's amazing and always says, "We must walk" (I know that much in Czech). What an inspiration.

    April 1 - Day 30/75

    βœ… Food - Good today. Enough but not overboard!

    βœ… Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. Did my new strength and stretch routine, CARs, raking and exercise bike. A good combo!

    April 2 - Day 31/75

    βœ… Food - Good today. Went into exercise calories like you did, @NouveauRee but at least we kept it balanced!
    βœ… No alcohol no problem
    βœ… Exercise - Two workouts: 1strength-1 cardio. Pilates, a trot and canter workout with Jasper, and 10 miles on the exercise bike.
    βœ… Reading - something helpful at least 10 minutes per day. On morning routines, and how they can be both a model of perfection and the tool of destruction. I'm building models to try out :sweat_smile:
    βœ… Water - OK
    βœ… Thoughts - I need to up my planning game. People coming to visit for the weekend and the eclipse (yikes), lots to do, horrible weather on the way. I can do it if I plan well. I am spending time on that asap!
