Walk before lunch. Flying before dinner.

@RangerRickL. Great to hear your jump rope is back to a good level.

The best medicine for a strain is to gently start using the area (with support) as soon as practical (usually only a day or two after the injury occurs). The extra blood flow promotes healing. I remember this from recovering from various injuries while skating. Within 2 days I'd be using the hurt area again with strapping or support to prevent re-injury.

I also subscribe to "Motion creates Emotion". This is also akin to Action comes before Inspiration. (You need to start something before inspiration can (or will) strike to inspire you to do more). Waiting to "feel like" doing something is a recipe for inaction.

@craigo3154 congrats on the good race today!

I was able to go on a short walk to the park with my goddaughter today! She is 18 months and toddler speed was perfect for me. First walk since October!!! It was so exciting for both of us. She went down her first sliding board today!

@Crosbinium. Thank you. Also fantastic that you are spending time with your goddaughter. Children tend to bring out the best in us and remind us to play and have fun.

Checking out for this evening. Yes x 3 with 85 minute walk in the village. Tough day at the end with only 150 calories left for a spartan dinner. Literally baby spinach, boiled egg, one quarter of a small apple, and small amount of steamed broccoli & carrots. Dinner, while sparse, was the nutritious part of the day. The Dunkin' Donut in the early part of the day was the requisite precursor to the light dinner which followed to compensate for all of those worthless calories in said sweet treat. Why do we refer to them as sweet treats when they really are a curse for the rest of the day? I should know better!

Exercise- yes, 30 mins Pilates and another short walk. Up to 2 hrs a day out of the ankle brace!
Calories - under
Tracking - yes

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

I rode my bike today on the road I always climb up. Climbed 2,000 feet in 2 hours. I am slowing down. My wife thinks I might have atrophied over the last couple of months. So maybe I can get back to 90 minutes for that. Ran my heart at 90% for 90 minutes of that 2 hours.
But for all that I still only move at like 3.5 miles per hour.
Moving that slow I look at everything. I look at tracks in the dirt. I see every kind of track. Bicycle tracks, motorcycle tracks, deer tracks, turkey tracks, bear tracks, coyote tracks, squirrel tracks.
But I saw these tracks and I am totally baffled as to what made them or what was happening when they were made. This pic is kind of representative. I took it because the way the light was caused the tracks to be well defined. But this kind of track occurred in like 20 or so places on the road. I am totally baffled by it.

But yeah, I got like upwards of 1000 exercise cals and didn't eat or drink it.
So I am tracked and under budget.

Yes x3 today. Spring has finally sprung so I got out for a walk as well as an upper body strength workout. I have to get back in the habit of checking in here daily so I’m focused for May!
