    @wyjude. Actually speed/rage cleaning the house in 2 hours would definitely count. It's frenetic activity that leaves you exhausted. Definitely burns calories.

    Starting weight: 150.0
    Yesterday weight: 150.6 week1
    Next weeks goal is to get under 150., I did this challenge 2 years ago and was able to get in the 130’s. I stop because family life was to hectic, helping my grandfather during his last days and I still help take care of my 92 yr old grandmother. I am thankful for a supporting husband and kids that understood that my grandparents needed me. Now I getting back on track, my youngest graduates in May from high school. I have a little more family help with grandma. Now it’s time to focus on me, which is not what I used to doing. But I want to be healthy and active, so when my kids decide to have family of their own, I want to active with my grandchildren. This is probably my one and only lengthy post, I usually a private person. I don’t like social media, I’m very selective on which sites I post on. Good luck to all.

    Hi! No service in the Grand Canyon, but there is here in the middle of the desert. I haven't tracked precisely, but I am setting records with my step counts, and a lot of that includes hundreds of feet of elevation change.

    Two more days on the road.

    @sunderland_mich93. Not a problem. The registrations thread is closed (no more messages - or notifications).

    To un-follow a thread, just view the thread and click the yellow star. This will make the star white and you are not following it.

    April 6
    Exercised?: Yes. Walk 7km in 55 mins in Perth (mostly flat)
    Calories?: Yes
    Tracked?: Yes

    In Perth, early morning walk to find breakfast and get brain in gear for the day.

    Found a nice cafe that would allow a custom order at a reasonable price, so managed to get my normal bacon and egg breakfast (yay). (In Australia bacon is Canadian bacon, not what the US knows as bacon).

    Posting early as flight home will have me home after midnight. I always track (it is a habit and MFP makes tracking super easy), and I cannot see me going over budget on low gluten/gluten free diet. (If I do, I will post and update stating so).
