My brother, who has MS, has returned to exercising, and he started some of these monthly challenges yesterday. I like to do them with him at a distance. We're doing an arms challenge (includes push ups, bicep curls, tricep dips, and punching) and Foundation Light (from darebee's site). I believe I got about 60 minutes of exercise in.

Congrats to last months circle. Welcome to newcomers.
I didn't make the circle. Started the month late and then kind of fizzled, well, got distracted by recreation. But I am in maintenance mode so that is how meticulous I am. I think I lost 15 since the start of the year. I got to pay attention or it will come back. It will especially come back starting in November. That is how I am. I recreate fiendishly in the summertime.
Goal 1)... daily "deliberate" exercise. I get to slouching on that. That don't mean I don't exercise though.
I went up scrabbly road today. Got 2,000 feet. There is an uptick in trail runner traffic on my road. I like that just fine. Said hi. Didn't really talk to anybody. Opposite direction each time I seen them.
I got a pace I call meander. It isn't really aerobic. It might be heart rate of 75% or so.
I got a pace that is even slower than that. I think I will call it lollygagging. Barely moving. Looking at stuff on the ground. Kind of embarrassing to get passed by athletes at that pace. (mountain bikes)
Meandering and lollygagging but hey my climb was only off by 6 minutes. Mr Wizard gave me a lot of calories for the effort but I don't think I will eat them.

I am checking in late for July 1, but I am checking in and I am being accountable. Yesterday was the last day of the family reunion vacation week. I don't like to start the month with a pass day, but it was. So, pass day #1 for me.

I have to come clean and say that I did not eat well yesterday. I did learn some things though. The last few days of the reunion, I found myself eating just because I was in vacation mode and not even because it was great food. I ended up going way over yesterday. I am glad that I did well the first part of the week, and got in lots of exercise. In retrospect, I learned the "cost" of eating food that I didn't love, was not worth the "benefit," and hope that I can remind myself of this in the future. I am relieved to be home for a few days, where I can follow my typical meals.
