Registered for a Beginner Trail Running workshop starting Sept. 3rd. Since I recently decided to start running again, I think this will really benefit me. Let the fun begin!!5 -
@conchita962 If you wear a heart monitor you can calculate your calories burned and minutes of activity. You can create your own exercise calorie/minute that fits your usual activity level.4

Yes x3. 45 minute walk. My NSV revolves around my attitude towards working out. I used to feel like I needed a high intensity, sweaty workout with a big calorie burn for it to really count as a workout. And I kept that up for awhile! Lost weight and was in great shape. But in reality it's not sustainable (especially in this season of busyness with 3 little kids!) and with an all or nothing attitude, I burnt out and chose nothing. I love the habit this group has helped me form of 20 minutes of activity a day from myself. Totally achievable! And such a victory to feel like my walk this morning was enough. I moved my body and I enjoyed myself. My health is important but I don't want it to become an obsession like it has in the past.5

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Another day under 100 degrees so I'm taking advantage, it goes back up to 104 tomorrow.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes. When my food is where it should be, it's one less thing to worry about
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
NSV: New work trousers in a size 10, plus I had rewards and coupons so they only cost $8.956 -
Thanks for all of your well wishes. I am better. My asthma is in a small flareup. I have to manage it very carefully to avoid big problems. My nebulizer and albuterol are my companions at least twice a day. It takes me awhile to recover from a flareup.
Calories: really good today
Tracking: ok
Exercise: out with the veterinarian as one of my horses developed an anaerobic infection in her hoof. A bit of surgery is now scheduled for Friday. Lots of outdoor activity today.3 -

yes x3
30 min Beach walk and Strength exercise, I skipped on the Yoga, probably because I knew I would not be doing Yoga over the weekend so the chain was breaking anyway.. A weakness but I will forgive myself.
About to go to bushcraft meetup in an hour or so, should be able to update but I have mild form of Nomophobia when my battery level falls below 98% without a charge point in close proximity so I may go dark.
@cardio_enthusiast "I did hill repetitions for 75 minutes." Respect. And well done on NSV.
@pcotter54 This is the best type of NSV in my view.
@loopydo2017 Wise words, I think I am a little obsessed right now, and I've got to watch that.3 -

Exercise-yes, #125 for Ab Challenge. Started adding a 25 pound plate to my crunches--not all 125, but some. Strong Curves lifts (able to add more weight to Dead Lifts today) and my bench press was spectacular with all very strong, clean reps. Also had nothing better to do tonight (home alone) so I went for a 3.3 mile walk with my Audible book. Very nice!
Tracking-all on track
Calories-under
Tomorrow will be interesting because I have to go to an event at a restaurant that has no nutritional info on their menu. It's pub food--aaaaaaagh!!! I've checked out the menu and have a couple ideas. Going to depend on how hard I exercise before dinner time.3 -
exercise yes walking in pool, light gardening, housework and food prep
calories yes 1318/1490
calories burned 734
tracking yes

Well here we are in the middle of August!
The NSV that I am most proud of is that I did not lose my focus at any time during my surgery and recovery. I was so worried about gaining weight when I was recovering due to not being able to do much. I was determined to not let this happen and I succeeded. My doctors told me they were amazed at my eagerness to exercise. I am now walking 2K's on land and 60 minutes in the pool. I will be off work for at least another couple of months but I will be lighter and fitter when I do.............woohoo....yay me!
I really enjoyed reading everyone's NSV's. We have come a long way..........Congratulations everyone, and thank you for sharing your stories.
Good night everyone!

Late check in, crashed out early last night before updating but pleased to report yes x3.
My NSV for this month is that while I have been struggling and have regained a little of the weight I'd lost I haven't given up completely and have done some logging every day. Keeping up this habit means that I'm confident that I can get back to goal fairly quickly and won't get totally out of control.6 -

Tracked: Yes
Thanks to everyone who replied to my logging exercise question!!!

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, killer 50 minute foam rolling session (needed that!) and 11 miles of cycling.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
NSV for the month: carrying my baby daughter around for an extended amount of time with little effort.4 -
Yes x 3. I usually work in the field making house calls. Today I worked in the office, which is full of candy and baked goods. I don't even like those things, but I ate them (within calorie limit) out of boredom. Walked dog for exercise.
NSV: a little over a year ago, I started lifting. I started squatting 45lbs, now squat 135lbs. As a middle aged woman, I'm thrilled about this. I do an old school lifting routine 2x a week, and I am a completely different animal now.5 -
pass again (no idea what I am at but out of the circle anyway
NSV for me
took ill and still managing to log and stay on calorie target ... no exercise to speak of but even managing to log is a bonus
