@RangerRickL. Looking great. Both you and your wife. Beautiful scenery too. Thanks for sharing.

Sorry I was not able to open discussion yesterday being in transit, but I have a question for those here. How do you get around?



I mainly walk.

My knees may be able to take running, but I see walking as less damaging on my body long term (and less prone to injury), so I keep with walk over run.

I do have a mountain bike and I used to ride in the hills, but it gets cumbersome to get out (no convenient storage) and needs maintenance. Walking, I just put on shoes and go.

As a kid, I grew up swimming a lot. However it is a bit of a drive to the nearest pool (and a long way to the ocean). I enjoy swimming when I have the chance, but I do not often make the opportunity.

How do you get around?

I will not be in the winners circle this month. After caring for mom on Sat Sun I got up with good intentions but suddenly wasn't feeling well. I will be taking it easy for a few days. As the caretaker I can not be out of commission for any length of time. I am at the branch today and Friday. Honestly if I was at the main office I just might be using a personal day. I am hoping for a slow day so I can go home early.

How do I get around?
Get around, get around, I get around. Heh there is a Beach Boys song that has that in it.
I turned 65 a few days ago and I am pretty happy that I am still as mobile as I am.
I got some mobility infirmities creeping in but I am fighting them.
How do I get around? Mostly biking. If I can come up with an excuse to bike, I will bike. I ain't big on city streets any more. Traffic scares me too much but I can do the short haul up to see my little Buddy.
Since I don't really go very far, typically fifteen miles or less, I always climb. In my mind climbing is better than distance. So I climb out every other day or so.
Gotta keep moving as much as I can for as long as I can.

Over the holiday my wife and I went to a condo at a ski area. There wasn't much snow. I didn't think there would be so I took my bike. But there were snow patches that made biking awkward. I have to get off and walk across those. But that is all exercising outside so it is all good. It ain't good if I fall and break my hip thinking I can ride across ice. I don't want to have to recover from something like that at my age.

I haven't been a very good UAC'er this month. Sporadic at checking in. My weight is ok with small oscillation around my set point. They would call me maintenance mode if I was at Weight Watchers. I still got to track though or I will get it all back. I seen people lose massive weight and then get it all back. November and December is a candle burning at both ends for me. It gets cold and I don't want to go outside. There is a party or a feast what seems like every other day. I always swear I ain't gonna but I gain. Bite the bullet, I am going to have to get some spin classes going.

I better put a picture. I saw this the other day. I ride my bike kind of by here sometimes. It is 3 or 4 hour drive from my house though.
Hey, I got 23,000 feet of climbing this month! Might as well brag about it.

How do I get around.

I don't drive so it's walk and buses otherwise I would have to stay at home. Nothing wrong with any of the options above whilst I can I use my legs.

Day 27 of the USC for Nov.

Yes it's a good one.
Stayed with calorie allowance and all logged.
45 minutes walk and 20 minutes static bike.

Have a good evening.

Exercise: Yes. (30 min. walking)
Calories: Yes.
Tracking: Yes.

I fell apart last week. Trying to start fresh today.
-No real exercise today, just foam rolling recovery. I had planned to swim, but I've had several days of really crappy workouts, and I just know that I needed to take the day off. I hate taking Mondays off - it limits flexibility if something comes up later in the week.
-Was doing well with logging and calories, until my wife decided to be "helpful" and cook dinner. She doesn't measure like I do, so I think I'm still good, but hard to know for sure.

November 27
Exercised?: Yes. I moved at points throughout the day.
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes

Back on the program, after two passes over Thanksgiving. Kept up my walking and activities, but just ate and drank too much.

Today was good. 10,275 steps, plus Nordic Trak, and the usual taxi duties for wife and granddaughter.

Well under on calories, good strong deficit today.

Everything logged.

I love walking every day, but also have the fa Emily taxi demands every day. Good to stay busy, neh??

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? ✅ Treadmill/Piyo/Pilates
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? ✅
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? ✅

27-Nov-2017

Exercise: yes. I'd been planning to use a rest day from my workouts, but I got home early and did a 75 minute walk with my neighbour. Glad that I did the walk.

Calories: yes, I'm a bit too far under limit, but that's ok for today.

Tracking: yes, everything.

Exercise-cleaned my house
Calories-yes
Tracking-yes

Question- I've been having to go to MFP login to track food that's not already on my list and tonight even that didn't work and I had to quick add the calories. Have any of you had similar problems and fixed them?

@RangerRickL that photo is definitely "suitable for framing" safe travels back to the US.
Answering how do I travel. --- unfortunately in suburban/rural US it's by car. I love cycling and enjoy hiking and walking but it is usually done outside my normal transit as exercise/activity.
Three yesses for 11/27.

Yes x 3. Barely made it today, just under calories, walking dog for exercise.

I drive, drive, drive. I live in Silicon Valley/Bay Area, where most everything requires a drive, and the drive is always hard due to hideous traffic. I dream of getting out of this place.

Exercise? Yes; 45 minute walk
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes
