Good Sunday to you!
Many of you are making me laugh. @Intrinsicat pointed out my 'loose language' in that I did not carefully define that our 'exercise outputs' are to be tracked, not our outputs. Thanks, Cat!
In other news, some of you are doing lots of strength exercises and getting no calorie burn credit. Here is a way to fix that. You can create your own exercises with their own calorie/minute credit. I do exercises that do not show up on the standard list of MFP Cardio Exercise/Calories/Minute. The way that I solve that problem is to use a heart monitor and actually measure my calorie-output (see Cat, I am being careful). I recommend that you consider buying an inexpensive Polar Watch/heart monitor. You can then add your non-traditional exercises into MFP cardio2 -
Pass #2
Even though I've been exercising (today I mowed lawn), I was starving and went over. I am having company coming in a couple Saturday's for the day, and that will be my third pass.
I don't want anyone to think I'm a defeatest, but I'm going to drop out of this month's challenge. It has been a hard but enjoyable challenge.
Kudos to everyone continuing!!0 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes (circuit training 45min + 45 min walk)

@lamlam2013 don't give up on us if you know you are going to be out calorie wise just try for the other 2 or even one. I know the one month when my Dr. said no exercise and I didn't stay in it was all so hard to stay accountable. Plus I have a friend who when she knows is going to have a party saves her calories all week like a checkbook leaves 200 calories a day and then blows the extra 1000 calories on a party. Everything is doable please consider staying around

Today was yummy. Hubby grilled leftover burgers & chorizo from his tailgate yesterday at the UM game. It's been so long since I had a burger & sausage - IT WAS DELICIOUS!0 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes an hour jog / walk around the lake at 4 mph, 2 hours walking a wine fest (if that even counts ha!) and 30 min yoga
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes just barely! It was tough as I spent the day at a wine and music festival, but stayed away from the food vendors. We still ate out that night and got dessert but I had the petite steak and zucchini and salad and one scoop of ice cream, and managed to keep the food splurge within the green!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, quite difficult when doing wine tasting but still managed to do it!
Ps @RangerRickL thanks for the information on logging strength training calorie burn, that will definitely help!

I had a great weekend with my 8 year old grandson, Evan! This was the weekend that I had the privilege to teach him to shoot a BB gun, and then a .22 rifle. We had perfect weather today, so a wonderful day to be a grand-dad.

Tracking: Ok

Did I track everything I ate? Yes. Even the carb smart ice cream.0 -
Yesterday I spent 4 hours walking at the flea market. So casual stroll, but still a lot of walking. Ended up with a little under 20k steps.
I logged everything, and was under calories. 0 -
