I finally got out at 6:30 this morning, and I walked to get a morning coffee and cinnamon roll. They were itty bitty Two-Bite Cinnamon Rolls, so I had 4 x 2 bites = 8 bites.
Meanwhile, this roadrunner decided to hop a ride in a Park Ranger's vehicle...

@looneycatblue and @PatriceFitnessPal Thanks for your kind words. I did stay home today...feeling slightly better, but not 100% so I'm resting today and will go back tomorrow. As I get older, I just don't bounce back as fast as I used to do...another "benefit" of aging
...
I was able to do a little walking around the house yesterday so hit my step goal yesterday and slept really well...doing today's walking in little pieces of time (15 here, 15 there)...
Hope you guys have a great day today!

@frankwbrown - Adorable photo of the road runner bird — Thanks for sharing it!
I’m glad you’re feeling better today @jessicakrall8 !
I was feeling optimistic that I’d stay within my calorie target today and then my husband wanted to order Chinese food tonight for dinner. I asked my son if he wanted the takeout order or one of my ideas for dinner, but I knew what he’d choose because he really likes the Chinese food from our favorite place in the neighborhood and he says he can’t find a place he likes close to his campus. So, it feels like a treat to eat from the local favorites while he’s here for the summer.
I shouldn’t have agreed to that idea, but I told myself I’d limit tonight’s portion and have some of the leftover items for lunch tomorrow. I didn’t eat as much as past dinners but I was over my daily target by about 300 calories. I’m fairly confident I can salvage my weekly average so I’m not going to beat myself up over it — just a lesson learned for next time. I hope everyone had a good Monday!

Hi all! Tuesday steps: 9390
Taking me a while to get back in the groove...hopefully soon.3 -
I thought of the roadrunner cartoon, too, @izzyred9400. Your “beep, beep” cracked me up 😂🤣😂
The talk of birds is reminding me to go back and look at some of @Pupowl’s great photo shots.
Tomorrow, I’m taking a short camping trip with my husband and younger son. I’ll welcome bird sightings and other natural surroundings but I’d prefer not to run into any bears or rattlesnakes while we’re in West Virginia. We’ll return on Saturday and then my older son is coming for another visit from Boston. He’s been working at a local university program and the students will finish their summer session on Friday. So, he’ll be here Sunday through mid-August. It will be nice to have everyone together until both our sons return to school for their Fall semesters.
My cousin and her family are stopping here again this weekend so we’ll have a full house. It’s always a bit motivating for me to have visitors because I get a little decluttering done each time. Downsizing/decluttering is a goal of mine this year so any progress feels good, even if it’s just a minor one.1 -
I’m gradually learning more about my Garmin watch, and trying to remember to set the watch to track certain activities like outdoor rowing. It was good to find out that my rowing workout isn’t burning as many calories as the MFP exercise selection (canoeing, rowing) estimates. It’s a bit disappointing to learn about the discrepancy but it will improve the accuracy of my tracking so that’s better in the long run. Now I can make the necessary adjustments by moving more or consuming fewer calories. 🧐2

@PatriceFitnessPal I was in WV earlier this month and was hugely disappointed that I didn't see a bear. Our cabin was even on Black Bear Lane so I had high hopes.

Wednesday Weigh-In

Still struggling to get back on track after vacation seven weeks ago. Up and down by a few pounds over and over. In the past, vacations have put me so off track that I've given up. Not this time. I'll get back on track and stay on track eventually. I hope it is sooner rather than later. I must!4 -

You’re brave @DaffyGirl88! I saw a bear while visiting Yosemite but it was the perfect distance away, and it was more Interested in some nearby garbage (secured in a bear-proof container). I had been doing archery in that area with one son and we wanted to show the other son. The bear walked past the exact spot where we had been but we saw it approaching from a safe (but close) distance. I moved behind a wall to take a picture and my son said, “Mom, aren’t we supposed to run away from the bear instead of toward the bear?!” 😂🐻😂 I definitely don’t want to encounter one too close to the campground! We’re going to Monongahela National Forest. Our friends go annually and have seen bears there. It’s a pretty remote part of the park but they have family members who live nearby so they have a lot more knowledge than I do. I’m a city girl from Boston so I’ll rely on their expertise in WV. If they need to avoid rats or cockroaches, I might be able to help more. 😂🤣😂1 -

My target weight range is 125-130. So, I have about 20 pounds to lose. I was happy with my workouts this week but had too many calories.
