    Exercise- yes, Strong Curves Lifts and Ab Challenge 60 crunches, and a super stretch.
    Tracking- yes. One of the few times I did not have the day pre-logged and I made it. I prefer to know what the plan is when I get up, but I was really just not with it yesterday. All set for tomorrow other than making adjustments for calorie burn.
    Calories- on track w 19 to spare.

    This group is soooo amazing and inspiring!

    Yes x3
    28min walk and 15min Yoga (It was a struggle to get going on the Yoga but it got done). Ate more today, mix of food in the fridge that I had specifically requested and needed using up and just generally feeling hungry. Still 1854/2293 net -439 which is ok, but I'm trying to average -500 Cal per day and I'm a little behind that.
    Also found an error in my logging, I've been underestimating one item by about 50 Cal's. Fixed now and I have had sufficient margin in previous days not to impact my 'pass rate'

    @craigo3154 I also managed 2 chin ups today */Feeling Proud/* = although technically this update is for yesterday... because I'm updating the day after the day we are in. So I only manage 2 chin ups tomorrow... Confused yet?

    @bocasdelbadbob Love the picture of the gym... Wish I could be in the great outdoors rather than working... boo.

    @windowqueen2003 Your loss of 1.6 pounds is great. This is a lifestyle not a diet(I am 60 and finally truly get it). ☺️

    @windowqueen2003 Wow!! Seven years since your kidney transplant is no small accomplishment. A good reminder for organ donations.

    @windowqueen2003, I'd be thrilled to pull off 1.6 lbs in a week! In my opinion, and many others, slow loss is easier to maintain, and healthier for you body. You'll get to where you're headed. Congratulations.

    @salty_runner_girl Glad to hear back from you whether it's daily or every 2-3 days! ;)

    I'm celebrating an NSV this week---that I'm finally going to reward myself for meeting my goals. I have a really bad habit of setting goals for myself, but not taking time to plan for or actually give myself a reward. I'm finding that this is really inhibiting my progress. A goal achieved is something to celebrate! For reaching a weight under what I was when I got pregnant a year and a half ago, tomorrow (Saturday) I'm taking myself on a day-date to go stand-up-paddle boarding. It's going to be so much fun. I can't wait!!

    Exercise? Yes; another 6+ hours of hiking
    Calories? Yes
    Tracking? Yes

    Today, we moved to Yoho National Park and hiked around Emerald Lake and Basin. Later, we hiked around Kicking Horse River, which lines our campsite. The days up here in the Canadian Rockies reach 80+*F and fall to about 50*F at night. The last few days, the nights have only been 35*F. I feel like I'm hiking all day in the hot weather, and burning mega calories shivering at night haha. My friends and I are having a blast, though. Cheers!
