    Calories: lots, but so much activity I'm under, so YES
    Tracking: yes
    Exercise: oh yeah.

    Now, I am over 20 years younger, but those 85-year-old seniors walked my buns off through IKEA. So that would be Seniors: 1, Moy: 0 for today. But we had so much fun! Then I had to wrestle that 12-seater van through heavy rain (Seattle, duh) and traffic for 2 hours, getting there and back. Really good outing, but I was wiped, took a 2-hour nap when I got home. This is so much better than my desk-bound project management job! I recommend retirement highly.

    Today a NSV. Tried snowshoeing a particular trail 1.5 years ago. Only made it an hour and never made it to the overlook. Today, I completed the trail in roughly 2.5 hours. Took lots of breaks on the uphill portions but kept going!
    @eevang. Beautiful photo. Looks like fun (hard work, but fun). Well done on the NSV. These are worth celebrating.

    @MoyMG. Sounds like a great (and exhausting day). More work required to keep up to those sprightly 85yo's while they are bargain hunting. :) (I'd probably have trouble knowing how motivated they can be).

    I go to the gym before school each morning. I also start off tracking my food but as I get busy with school and my own 4 kids, I forget to track the rest at the end of the day.

    @szymanskicolleen Could you enter what you expect to eat for the whole day at once? Then you have a solid plan plus you only need to make adjustments during the day.

    March 9:
    Exercise: yes (steps + dance practice)
    Calories: yes
    Tracked: yes

    You might still be in recovery if you go out dancing and only dance to three songs. Still, spent more than 20 minutes teaching my husband the line dance that we will be teaching next Friday.

    @concordancia I'm going to try logging everything in this morning.

    I'm about to turn 50 and have terrible sleep issues. I wake up several times a night and my mind worries about a million things and I can't get back to sleep. I know it's bad for my weight loss and overall health. I'm trying melatonin this weekend.

    Exercised?: Yes. Bodyweight exercises.
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    Quiet day. Spent most of the day building a new race FPV quad (almost ready to fly now). Too warm to walk (despite nice weather).

    Lunch at parents tomorrow.

    @szymanskicolleen. I turn 50 in a couple of months :) . If I have had a busy day with activity and exercise I find I sleep well though. Sleep is important. Natural sleep is better than chemically induced sleep, but if you cannot sleep normally, then medication may be required. If condition persists, see a doctor.

    Tips for better sleep:
    • No technology an hour before bed (blue light)
    • No technology in the bedroom (no TV, tables, phones, etc... a bedside clock is OK :) )
    • Try set a regular time and routine for sleep
    • Learn relaxation and meditation techniques (can mentally force yourself into a sleep state - practical for other times too :) ).
