August 15
Exercised?: Yes. Walked 3 Km in 25 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.

Rest day today. Shorter walk than usual at slower pace and no strength training tonight. Also earlier time to bed. Feels odd resting, but I know I need it.

As only a short walk today (and dodging rain), no photos. Longer walk tomorrow (if big enough gap in the weather ) so should have a chance to take a pic or two.

@aeshippers. Sorry I missed the post yesterday about the chocolate. Well done for logging. Forgive yourself for yesterday (no beating yourself up over it) and hopefully normal maintenance today. *hugs*
@fourathomej. Lovely view. Great place to stop over the weekend.
@pribud. Doing fantastic. 30lbs mark just around the corner. Hopefully great swimming.
@shonat11. Don't feel you have to leave us. UAC is about the hight habits, not just circle.
@Slimpossible007. Rest is important. If you are feeling ill/tired/lethargic, then rest is often the best medicine.
@bocasdelbadbob. Sounds like a special time with Buddy. This is what life is about. Being there for family and friends. Loved the story. Well told. Awesome.
@pcotter54. Get well soon.
@Dosse1320. Celebrate the successes (and good news). There are too few in life. Celebration Ice cream is almost never a mistake (as long as it's one, not 5 ). Tomorrow is another day that normality can return.
@RangerRickL. Hope you are feeling better. Hope you were well enough to work today.

The food stores here are mixed. Cannot keep only healthy food in the house with a teenager. Fortunately with a protein rich diet (and finicky tastes), I seldom even feel the need to eat poorly. Mind you, a normal nutritionalist would look at my diet over the last 40+ years and wonder why I am still breathing - I eat almost the inverse of the traditional food pyramid.

Thanks @craigo3154 I needed to hear that. Thanks @RangerRickL for a very good reminder; good food choices happen when good foods are available/convenient.
Have a great day everyone.

Thanks for the tip @RangerRickL it's one I try to follow. This week I treated myself to a recipe box from a local farm where they give you the exact ingredients needed for 3 meals. Because they substituted the advertised gnocchi for tagliatelle they gave us a free bag of chocolate buttons. Agh! There's a reason I don't keep chocolate in the house!
Well done @craigo3154 for managing to rest! Although your speedy short walk sounds exhausting!
@phoebelayla it's so frustrating when that happens! Sounds an amazing few days. Having the stamina to run 60mins is incredible!
@trixsey1 another busy day for you!
Thanks @pribud !
@shonat11 Yay I'm so pleased you're sticking with us!

Yes x 3

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Got 13miles down today followed by 20mins of bodyweight training
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
(68.82 / 140) Mile Goal

Today was a interesting day... Almost stepped a pretty good sized black snake and later on I got approached by a coyote (Which I was gonna pet as I thought it was a dog at first)

The Coyote was coming at me pretty happy looking so when I thought it was a dog I didn't think much of it cause I get approached and loved by a lot of the other joggers / hikers dogs when they're around me

Coyote was within 5 feet of me before a car came over and spooked it away which is probably a good thing as who knows if it'd of thought I was a nice looking lunch or not.

Edit - On a side note it's usually around this part of the month I kick into overdrive so I expect to be covering a lot of miles in these last two or so weeks.

@am_change - Thank you! I'm on week #3-day 2. It had been a long time since I'd done any running, so a great way to ease back into it.
@120maggie - Great cycling!! I need to start again!
@craigo3154 - Yep, we need those rest days for sure!!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes..60 minute walk
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. As the weather was under 100 degrees, I was able to do a beautiful evening walk at Duck Creek. I've attached some photos. To have this little piece of serenity in crazy Las Vegas, is a true blessing.

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. Thankfully, I feel more peaceful today and therefore, making very good choices

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

The water bottle in the picture is 'The Coldest Water Bottle' and I have to say, it lives up to the hype. Being a tight wad, I wouldn't ordinarily pay $23.99 for a water bottle but my friend enticed me and I have been out in the Vegas heat all day and it's remained chilled.

Ps. In the first photo, there is a family of six raccoons that had been for a swim. Sorry photo isn't better, taken on my phone at dusk

3 yesses. 30 minutes of HIIT and some adventuring to a park on the edge of the city.

@fightingthetideofaging, congrats on closing in on 50lbs, that's good hard work and discipline.
@Loraine, I love the raccoons.

Yes x 3 for me.
Walking dog during day, working, then tango at night.
Just under calories by the skin of my teeth.

Yes x 3. Put in a 55 minute P90X2 V sculpt routine.

August 13 Yes x 3!
August 14 Yes x 3!
August 15 Yes x 3!

I have been a goof not to log in more! I've been following all your wonderful achievements. Life without ice cream in the house is definitely making staying under my calorie count easier!

Sorry, extremely busy yesterday...
Exercise- yes, snuck in a 2.6 mile walk at sunset.
Tracking- yes, all on track
Calories- yes below allowance
