Tracked?: Yes.

Afternoon walk today. Reasonable pace.

Also managed to clean all the spraypaint graffiti of my car. A while back some ***** spraypainted my car while I was away from home (could have done physical damage to the ***** if I ever caught them). I lodged a police report and a claim with insurance. Insurance advised that the claim is approved to get it professionally cleaned (and side re-painted), however if I could do an adequate job on my own I could cancel the claim and get the excess refunded (and no-claim bonus remain intact). If I could not do an adequate job on my own, then the claim could proceed and any cosmetic damage I may cause in trying self removal would be covered. With nothing to lose and everything to gain I set to work. Acetone works great in removing acrylic spray paint (just do it outside, wearing rubber gloves and going through LOTS of paper towels).

Dinner with my parents tomorrow night. So will not be posting as much tomorrow.


@imali1984. Wow. I am usually the first for the day (being in Australia). Where are you from?
@inshapeCK. Well done on the 30 mins. With Wii Fit Plus, my favourite was cycling round the island and trying to collect all the check points. Also, please track on MFP (or at least in a written format). Its easy once you get the hang of it. There are so many problems with "in your head" tracking that I don't know where to start.
@shauna7531. Yes, the daily threads is where you check in.
@glimjy. Well done. This is the power of UAC. Being accountable to other pushes you to do more and think about what you are doing.


Looks like a great day 1 by almost all.

@craigo3154 ha ha yes I had an early start to the day. I am from Melbourne

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? no.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? no.

Going to use my pass for today.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes?
DID 30 MINUTES OF EXERCISE, WANTED TO WALK OUTSIDE BUT IT WAS RAINING AND RAINING! DID A COMBINATION OF MARCHING ON THE SPOT, WALKING IN PLACE, AND JOGGING ON THE SPOT.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? DON'T KNOW AS I DIDN'T LOG MY FOOD.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? I KNOW WHAT I ATE BUT I DIDN'T WRITE IT DOWN.

@fightingthetideofaging
Thanks for your encouragement.
I will keep posting even if I can only currently handle working on logging my exercise right now.

@craigo3154
I haven't used my Wii Fit Plus disc in quite awhile but I often pull out the Balance Board and use it to do some stepping for exercise while I watch a DVD or something to help pass the time.
I do know that I need to get back to recording what I eat and eventually do actual logging in my food diary again but at the moment I am taking things 1 step at a time and right now I am working on getting back to exercising regularly as well as trying to bring less unhealthy food in the house as well as I do 3 weekly challenges (e.g., making a fruit and vegetable goal & meeting it, making a water goal and meeting it, exercising for a certain number of minutes, no junkfood) that change each week with 3 other MFP friends so that is more than enough for me to juggle right now. Once I get the exercise piece in place then I can start to work on the food piece without worrying about the exercise piece as once I have my exercise routine going I am usually pretty good about keeping it going.
By the mid-point of this challenge I hope to start working on the food logging.
You can hold me accountable to that.
I am well aware that exercise no longer helps me lose weight but only what I eat and don't eat.
However, exercise is good for the heart and body!

Day 2 is in the books. I'm rather proud of myself because I'm having some dental work done over the next few weeks and yesterday left me a bit rough around the edges. I'm a terrible patient and so they gave me some sort of sedative prior and I felt sick most of the night and this morning, but, managed to get the dog out for a 41 minute brisk walk. Felt better for it afterwards too!

Exercise? Yes, 41 min walk
Calories? Yes, about 200 under
Tracked? Yes

Weekend is just around the corner.........hope you all have something fun planned!

Exercise: 40 minute walk
Calories: a little under budget
Tracked: yes

Logged everything, including prelogging a glass of wine and pm snack which I might end up skipping.
Under calories, just barely but under.
Only “activity “ today was 25 minutes on the playground teaching recess skills to my students.

Today was tough - hungry and exhausted. I had a killer double workout last night, was a bit too much under calories, and oddly didn’t sleep well. So I’m not surprised I felt so awful today. It was a tough decision but ultimately to move tomorrow’s rest day to today. Hoping I don’t regret that later!

Exercise: Yes. (40 min. walk)
Calories: Yes.
Tracked: Yes.
