When I chose this graphic, I decided to dedicate it to @2020pinktogo She is my inspiration for asserting her boundaries in and out of the work environment. Thanks, Sue!!

Back on the bike today, Yay
Might be the only time this week though although I have a late start tomorrow so although I need to drive I might get a ride in first.
Didn't do any other exercise though just my rides to and from work but adds up to almost 70 minutes so still pretty good.
Calories and tracking were good too. Actually ended up eating quite a lot of my calories this evening as I was so busy at work today I didn't eat everything I planned.7 -
July 18
Exercised?: Yes. Walked 5 Km in 41 mins - twice - so 10km in 82 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
Rain held off and I rushed the first walk before work cutting it short (finishing 3 mins before a work phone conference
). Was feeling go, so did a second round lunch time. Both were just a shade over 40 mins for a trip I usually do in 44 mins. WooHoo.
Noticed from my logs I have been pushing harder than normal the last few days (not intentionally, just kind of happened). Will try do a "rest" day tomorrow. 20 min easier walk mapped out and will swap the strength training for stretching also try get an earlier night (I cannot bring myself yet to intentionally pass). Not injured, but body needs time to recover (to prevent injuries ).
After the discussion yesterday about owls and larks, I can be either, but a lark by preference. Really late nights (2am+) knock me around a bit, but early mornings I find easier.
@trixsey1. Great deer. There are deer in the forest I walk in, but I seldom see them. I think it was last month I posted the picture of one of the wallabies that is a regular on my forest walks.
@srufus. Love the quote. I also have no intention of finding again the weight that has gone.
@conchita962. Look after your back. They are one of the most troubling parts of the body to fix.
@phoebelayla. Stay with us (even though you have too many passes for circle this month). Keep tracking, running and grinning.
@aeshippers. Great you could ride again.7 -
Already having a better day. Off for a walk with my husband.7

July 18th
Exercised?: Yes.
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.
40min jog, 30min cross trainer and 60min of strength training with weights.
Also walked the woofies (70mins).
We went a different way today, saw some baby ducks and coots. Dogs had a swim in the lake to cool themselves down as it's 28 degrees here. An easy walk but it was nice, just too hot for the dogs to go far.
Some idiot was setting fireworks off here at 2am and went on for ages and I just couldn't get back to sleep. It's supposed to be illegal here to set them off after 10pm, but it doesn't stop some folk. So running on fumes today, lol.
Tomorrow is my rest day, so just a walk into town then I'll take the dogs out for a hour or so.7 -
Well today is a day to practise what I preach...lol.....Did not have a good day yesterday food wise, but the good thing is that it is now in the past, time to let it go! Today is a new day and I have done so much positive self talk that I truly BELIEVE that today will be a good day! Woohoo.
Yesterday was my sons 38th birthday....lol....Nothing like your second born approaching 40 to make me feel old............lol........My children are now 42,38, and 34.........WOW! Time flies. I would like to share with you the poem I wrote him. It was written as I was reminiscing last night on a whim so not perfect by any means as I did it in less than an hour.
On July 17th, 1979 my wonderful son was born to me.
Our life together did start right then,
As the words “It’s a Boy” did echo with-in
10 little fingers, 10 little toes.
I counted them all just to be sure
An instant love filled me inside.
My perfect little son, I showed off with pride.
We named you Timothy as we welcomed you home.
I watched you grow, while guiding your way.
Lots of adventures from childhood to man.
My memory at times does tend to wander,
Remembering events we shared through the years.
There were times of smiles, laughter and yes, even tears.
I look at you today at the Man you have become.
A husband, a dad yet always a son.
Your mother I am, and to me you will always be,
My baby I cuddled as you smiled at me.
I love you Tim….xox
Hope you enjoyed reading it.
I don`t know what happened to the rest of my post as I had little kudo`s to a lot of you and they just disappeared.....don`t have time right now to redo. Just know that I am cheering for all of you and I think we are all AWESOME

I am checking in frequently today because I need to get back on track. One hour moderate pace walk and then worked on spreading topsoil for our new sod. Yay!!8
-
July 18th was a nope. Started well at the gym, but after a hellish afternoon there was wine... and cheese.
That's my third pass day. I can still do this.5 -
beautiful words @pribud and happy birthday to your son
@colwellcat wine and cheese a good but dangerous combo
@dosse1320 spreading topsoil, a work out in itself,
for me today 3 yesses .. I almost just let one rest day slip into another, but my hubby said "do you fancy a walk to the shop" and it got me up, my hubby never suggests walking .. the catch was he wanted wine and intended to walk it off first lol ...
tracked yes
calories yes
exercise just under 1 hour :- a walk, a bike and a new/strange sword workout . some fun movements My boy has two swords in his room (they are blunted/fake) I will do it with one of those next time .. this time I done it with a pole which was over 3lb in weight. I might even invite him for a duel

18th of July
Exercised, Calories, Tracked: Yes!!5 -
July 18:
Exercise?: Yes, 35 minute run this morning, but my leg's told me to take it slower than usual.
Plank?: Yes.
Calories?: Yes, with 221 to spare.
Tracked?: Yes. All 7 gummy bears in the mid-morning and the handful of dried apricots for dinner, which ended up being many more calories than I expected (so it's a good thing I was good during the day!)5 -
Exercise? Yes; an hour of strength training and a 1.25 mile run
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes4 -
Sorry to be MIA!
June 16: No, did not stay under calories. That was Pass #3.
June 17: Alas, also did not stay under calories. It could have been worse, but it wasn't pretty. So I'm out of the running for July, but I've learned a lot about myself in this process and I'll continue tracking through the rest of the month.
June 18:
Exercise: Yes, doubled up to make up for yesterday's failure.
Calories: Yes.
Tracked: Yes.
I've been very distracted the last couple of days. Lots of family stress involved, but I credit boredom with the overeating on Sunday and Monday. I just have to stay busy and out of the kitchen, haha!4 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? 120minutes of walking got 8.2miles in today was a pretty smooth day
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
76.28/ 125 mile3 -
July 18th
Exercise: Was planning a run..needed a run but my back is NOT 100%. Very frustrating. Did get in a 28 min walk with the dog and a short yoga stretching session.
Calories: right where i need to be
Tracked: yes
30 day yoga: did not do regular yoga due to painful back. Will make it tho!
Lesson Learned: I cannot get too bummed out when I can't get outside and do what I want....well I can get bummed for only for a very short time!
@craigo3154 I am definitely taking care of the back best I can. I have a big problem with glutes not firing when running/walking so my back takes the load and the tension is very painful allllll across my lower back. It doesn't help that I have a sit down job and my"area" is not posture friendly and causes issues as well. I sit in a higher chair but cannot roll underneath the counter I work at so after 7 1/2 years my back doesn't like that forward lean! I try and stand a lot. Anyhoooooo....I will stretch some more and. Hope I can go to strength training tomorrow!!!!

3 yeses. Tomorrow I weigh, and I'm expecting a positive outcome...I know I'm moving in the right direction. I can feel everyday how much stronger I'm becoming!
@RangerRickL I love this quote.
@pribud You really did a fine job on the poem. High marks!!
Have a great day tomorrow all.4 -
Yes... Zumba! And I tracked and stayed under my calories. Trying for a fresh start since I have not been tracking on mfp for months now and it shows...3

July 18.
Good day. Started with my 3.5 mile walk. I am an early riser and exerciser. Tracked and stayed under calories. I love fruits and vegetables. Hit the farm market on my lunch hour for blueberries, peaches, tomatoes, cucs, cauliflower, beans and corn. I know the LCHF people are cringing but these are my summer time treats!!!3 -
