@200Karen Seeing pictures is always fun! Is your trail in nature? I know people in the US sometimes have to drive really far to make it to some green. I live not too far from a national park so I can bike there.

@200Karen Thanks! Glad to hear you had a good day. I also have a lot of work to do in the garden. I live alone and I can never keep up with it. Tomorrow I will do some pruning and remove the dead flowers from my hydrangea.

I also had a good day. The walk was nice and I didn't see anyone else outside. Love that. Cut out the dead flowers in the evening. It was very windy so some of the flower heads took off like tumbleweed. I had to grab a ladder to get to the top of my hydrangea, but it is all done and looking good now.

Wanted to go to the gym on Saturday, but they had a thing and were closed so I went Sunday instead. I was very tired all day and didn't do much. I have been reading a lot about 75 hard. Not sure if that is the right thing to try for me.

• Gym day

@200Karen Yes, I actually decided to start this Saturday. I got a family thing on Friday which involves a lot of car sitting, so I am starting after that to avoid the planning headache. It also gives me a few days to get a solid plan in place. I know it will be a challenge, but I think it is good for me. I need a kick in the butt. I have barely made any progress since starting this thread and I think the 75 hard will eliminate some excuses and really make me try.

• Vitamins ~ done
• Food ~ didn't track

Had a bit of a rest day, though I used it to get a lot of cleaning of done. I had a storage area that was a huge mess because a wall cabinet fell down a few weeks ago and I didn't have the energy/willpower to tidy it up until now. Really happy that is done. I also got some books delivered last night that I bought for the 75 hard challenge. I am generally not a fan of self help type books so I was a little picky and only got things I would also be interested to read if it wasn't for the challenge. I am most excited about a really pretty book on mushrooms. No idea how it was only 7.50 either since it's a hardcover and has gorgeous art.

200Karen

Great find on the mushroom book.
Enjoy researching all your new books

200Karen

Also for an hour, I wore my swimsuit and worked in my backyard.

Day 31 ~ April 11

• Sleep ~ 8h 59m
• Steps ~ 13.462
• Vitamins ~ done
• Food ~ +/- 1800 calories
• Walk 3.7 km

A busy day for me. I got in a short walk in the morning before my dad showed up at 10:00. We went to the birthday party of my niece who turned 8. Sat in the car for almost 4 hours, very busy on the road. I had fun jumping on the trampoline with the kids, but man, it was a lot more exhausting than I remembered! I usually avoid doing things like that because I feel really embarrassed about my weight, but this time I managed to just have fun and didn't worry about it. I wasn't really able to track my food, but it wasn't anything crazy. Just had a slice of home made apple pie.

Thanks for the encouragement Karen!

200Karen

Great job holding strong around pie.

I need to follow your lead and close the kitchen.

Thanks for the reminder ✅

I love my trampoline, my heart thinks I'm running and all I'm doing is barely bouncing. I don't even get my toes off the canvas. I have heart issues so bouncing has helped me get back to being healthier.

Day 32 ~ April 12

• Sleep ~ 9h 5m
• Steps ~ 16.339
• Vitamins ~ done
• Food ~ 1606 calories / 99 protein / 47 fiber (Upping my max calories to 1700 because of the two workouts a day for 75 hard. Just to have a little more wiggle room.)
• Gym & Walk 3.79 km

First day of 75 hard went well. I did hurt my leg on Friday from the trampoline somehow so walking isn't great, but I am kind of used to being in pain so it's whatever. Went to the gym in the morning and did my outdoor walk in the afternoon. It was too sunny and warm for me and I already had a headache before I started. Didn't pick the best forest area either; not enough tree cover. It's okay though, I know for next time. Got it all done which is the important part. My phone has been unable to connect to the internet since yesterday and it is really annoying. I have tried everything under the sun to fix it. Last thing I can try is to factory reset it which is a pain because it deletes all apps.

Glad the trampoline works well for you! I can see why people buy those little rebounders for workouts. It really does get your heart going. Evenings are also my favourite part of the day. Love the feeling when everything is done and I can just sit and relax.

Day 33 ~ April 13

• Sleep ~ 8h 36m
• Steps ~ 18.605
• Vitamins ~ done
• Food ~ 1632 calories / 101 protein / 46 fiber
• Walk one ~ 50 minutes / Walk two ~ 48 minutes

I tried to fix my phone some more, but there is still no internet. I did a full factory reset so all my apps are gone, including the one for my fitness tracker. I will go stand outside a restaurant with free wifi this morning to see if I can at least get some apps back and then call my internet provider. Seems like it might be an issue with the router, but I am not sure. Anyway, my day was pretty good, though I was also very tired.
