Lol, everyone is asking at work if I hurt myself working out and when I tell them it's because I slipped and fell, they have a look like "WTF"? Really? Sucks when you get injured just doing normal stuff.
You've got to make up stories!
I've claimed to have been hit by a bus, and been injured in a skydiving accident. (Yes, skydiving, @robertw486 ! LOL)
I also once claimed that my quadriplegic family member was in a giant power wheelchair due to "an Irish dancing incident back in the '80's".
Have some fun with it!0 -

I won't be participating, except maybe once a week, on my newsfeed any longer but will still be logging food and exercise every day and working on my goals this year. I will also still be commenting and checking in here consistently. This group is more valuable to me right now with some of the time constraints I'm facing early this year.
Cardio: 40 min walk/run, mostly walk but I'll be working back up to mostly run over the next month or two. It felt good to run again and I'm not much of a runner.......LOL
Strength: None today, back to the gym in the morning.
Assessment: So far so good this week calorie wise. My fitbit told me to eat more carbs and less fat so I'm going to try that for awhile.
Happy Hump Day!!!

@robertw486 I'm glad to help you burn a calorie or two!
Cardio: Walked all 5500 steps today, a mile of them in the c-c-cold outside. The brisk fresh air felt good!

Food: I ate so many delicious foods today. I don't understand how I came in at just over 1300 calories. No complaints here! Packed up enough good food for lunch and dinner tomorrow, so I don't have to buy garbage at the hospital cafeteria. It's going to be a long day there.
Depending on how I feel in the early morning, I will or won't go to the gym for some bike time.0 -
