didn't make it yesterday, I fought an epic battle (and won) against a migraine instead. I'll take the win on that one over getting my steps in any day!1

Got my exercise in today. Feeling good.
Carbs - Still high, but not crazy.
Cals - Getting better
Need more sleep!
Lot of Water today.
Have a great day!1 -
Food - good
Exercise - not happening, ugh! We did go hiking on Saturday, but nothing at home. M-Th I leave for work at 4:30 am and get home and 6 pm so it's really easy to talk myself out of it in favor of family time or sleep.0 -
Yesterday's strength training work-out was awesome because I had great music playlist.
But then my bluetooth earphone ran out of juice, and so did I.
Today's farming session was cut short due to the heavy rain.
So I'm not too exhausted and will go to Zumba class tonight.
It's so much fun! It's like dancing with friends for 1hr.
Have a great day!

Truth. I just put in time today to meet my 1200 minute goal. I picked up this "flu bug" that is going around which will teach me to never say again, " I can't remember when I was last sick".
60 minutes today on stationary recumbent means only 150 minutes to complete September goal! Done.1 -

@slimzandra Love him!! My husband grew up listening to Prairie Home Companion with his dad and a couple months after his dad died, Garrison Keillor came through Los Angeles and we got to see him at the Hollywood Bowl. It was a wonderful show!!2 -
Feeling a little better with this cold/flu. Got in some walking minutes (60) via walking 3.2 miles to/from Wally World to get some cold/flu medicine. Wasn't my speediest walk but I did it. 90 minutes remaining to meet September goal of 1200 cardio minutes.3

Cals: Under
Logged: Check!
Carbs: 34gm net
Exercise: 25 min walk/jog mix
Today I had my first-ever pulmonary function test. I failed; turns out I have a severe obstruction. Had a breathing treatment followed by a much improved pulmonary function test. Excited by how much easier my breathing was during ensuing walk/jog mix! This should help with my swimming, too!3 -

Up all night partying. Dranks after the show last night, blew it last night w/booze.
Lot of Water today.
Garrison Keillor was great last night. 2 hours non-stop show, by himself. Even my bf who doesn't "get" him thought he was a good entertainer.
Enjoy the day! I'm bailing work early to pick up kiddo from school.

October challenge. Went digging in the old discussions to find what I did last year. That took way too long...
I modified it some and here it is.

Fantastic KB class yesterday.
Good thing I had eaten some wild salmon cakes ~1.5hrs before class so that I'm not as winded as I was at the previous class when I was starving and ran out of of carb to fuel my work-out.0 -

With only 90 minutes to go to meet my goal of 1200 cardio minutes for the month of September...I quit! Didn't have the energy last night and don't have the energy today. Last Saturday I started feeling a little crappy. Sunday the cold/flu set in and has been slow to leave. Content in my bed with my box of tissues, breathing through my mouth (cuz the nose is stuffed) and listening to the wheezing in my chest. At least the razors have left my throat when I cough.
I'm happy with 1110/1200 minutes for the month. A-.1 -
Ended September by winning a DietBet AND getting back into maintenance range! 132.8!
Went 50 over on cals today (but was like 200 under yesterday; 2 not-hungry days followed by a hungrier day). Carbs were OK, weighed and measured.
Hit my step goal.1 -

23,170 steps (12,000 step goal)
Food measured/weighed✅
It was a good step it up month. Managed to move from the higher end of my previous maintenance range (113-117) to the lower end of my new maintenance range (108-112). Feeling pretty settled about things knowing I'll probably always need to keep a close eye on calories and portion sizes.1
