July 26
Exercised?: Yes. Walked 7.8 Km in 70 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.

Woosh this morning. Expecting to bounce a bit tomorrow morning. Still feeling good.

I'm a daily weigh person (often more than once a day). I like to know what is going on, but it's just a measurement (not an indicator of self worth). My important measure is the 7 day average (not any individual day). In tracking daily weight, I can see time when if I took the measurement a week apart, the weight would be up, but the average weight is still tending down.

Eg.
From my history:
12/6/17 80.4
13/6/17 80.4
14/6/17 80.6
15/6/17 80.6
16/6/17 80.1
17/6/17 80.1
18/6/17 80.1
19/6/17 80.4
(7 days apart (12->19) no change, but the trend was still down. I had kept consistent through that entire week (in budget every day and walking 5+km per day). If I was not weighing daily I would have been really upset on the 19th - hard work and no change).

(I also have my daily history back to the 18th of April in a spreadsheet - weight, calories in/calories out )

I will be part of UAC next month.

Winter (and GoT) may be coming for the Northern hemisphere. Here in the South, Winter is here (and we are still getting GoT ).

@trixsey1. Look after your health. Chest infections are never fun. Maybe back off the exercise to the minimum (20 mins lighter activity) for a day or two and resume intensity when chest feeling better.
@Slimpossible007. Awesome getting below 200.
@simonschange. Congrats on the 10pound loss. Well done. Good news on the BP too. 120/80 is considered the lower end of normal (and you are almost at that).

Exercise: weights session. I've been really working on my glutes, finally seen an improvement in my squats. I can perhaps start going heavy with them. Also, I've well got my 40kg bench down, so aim to get this up in the next few weeks.
Kcl: 1458/1460
Tracked.

TY @craigo3154 @120maggie @Dosse1320 and @hawkins410


today is another 3 yesses .. I can honestly see myself making the winners circle this month ... being close to that one has spurred me on all month .. but getting into the 100's has pushed me harder today ... although I will prob be above it tomorrow with all the exercise I have done today lol

tracked
within cals
exercise has consisted of
40 mins worth of planks, sit ups, wall sits, lunges, crunches, push ups, planks, squats, supermans -- etc etc etc
30 mins of dancing to tunes (like no one is watching)
30 mins on my stat bike

so basically I'm expecting sore muscles and a raise in weight tomorrow lol

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes..30 minute Get Outside and Walk class, followed by a 60 minute Osteo Impact class, followed by a 90 minute walk, in the morning, and a 45 minute Cardio Drumming class in the evening.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Calories? Yes

@fightingthetideofaging WOW! Good for you, your exercise always amazes me. Awesome job!
@SimonsChange love the new photo! Only 8 more miles...WOOHOO!
@RangerRickL Hopefully you have the weekend your body needs! Good luck tomorrow
@loopydo2017 @hil331115 glad you both have decided to join us for August despite your holidays.......it will make you so much more aware of your intake and activity level!
@MyersCrystal Congratulations on your choices today.........great attitude, taking it one day at a time. Hope you aren't too sore tomorrow
@Slimpossible007 Good exercise day today. Hopefully it is good mews in the morning
So glad to hear most of us are moving on to August for the challenge. Looking forward to another month with you.

Today was a good day. In the outdoor public pool doing gentle walking for 40 minutes. Funny how the gentle workouts play me out as much as a hard workout use to. Can't wait for my body to heal so I can up my exercise. Six weeks tomorrow but backs take a lot longer to heal I am told(and feel...lol)

today's report
exercise yes
calories yes
tracking yes

Good night everyone

July 26:

Exercise?: Yes, 35 minutes of weight lifting at the gym, plus usual walking.
Plank?: Yes.
Calories?: Yes. Had 87 to spare when I closed my diary for the day. Did more walking after that that I didn't log because I was already under.
Tracked?: Yes, including the half cup of walnuts I needed in the afternoon to get me through the day, which nearly ruined my entire day.

I feel a little off this morning, so today's going to be a tricky one. At least I've already gotten in half an hour of walking.

My weight is down, on average, half a pound / week since July 5th thanks to this group. I'm two pounds away from the target weight I set for myself, so I could probably hit that by Labor Day if I don't have any setbacks.

July 26th
Internet has been down lately so I'm kinda behind a bit and haven't been able to comment to others. Got it fixed!
Exercise: walked 5 miles in Amish town checking out shops and such! Whoop
Calories: good
Tracked: yup
Miles: 5
Lesson Learned: SO. MUCH delicious Amish food and bakery. I controlled my excitement and only had 1/3 of a piece of peach pie !! I kept thinking about how all that stuff would only make me sick and that was enough to walk away. My only purchase was some good sourdough bread of which I limit my intake.

@120maggie I was in Berlin between Sugar Creek and Millersburg. I live in Willoughy though. I haven't been to Middlefield in awhile but planning to go there for a look see very soon. I'm taking quilting lessons soon so I wanna check out the good quilt shops!!!
