    Today is all about fathers and mentors. I'm hosting a cookout with family. But I do it with love because I have the best dad in the world. We also will miss my husband's father who died this year. So, today, I'll put aside self care, but I do it because I am so grateful for so many wonderful men in my life. Hope your day is wonderful.

    Yesterday I got rid of an old bike and a non-working TV that my parents offered to recycle during their town electronics recycling event, and I poked around an antiques market with my mom.

    Very busy weekend didn't leave much time for self care, and I could feel the difference in my frazzled mood. Must do better.

    Well, this weekend, I took a break from it all. The food logging, the cardio (only did a mile run each day,) the arm exercises, the fitbit ... It was nice, it was fun. And, now I feel renewed and ready to get back to losing some more weight.

    Hello! I would like to join your challenge. Recently I started seeing a nutrionist and have started walking. Started out at 1/2 mile and in 5 days now up to 2 miles in 27 minutes. My goal for this week is to get up to 2 miles in 24 minutes.

    I typed so much more in the above post, but it only posted a snippet. I wonder why?

    I've found if I add smilies from my iPhone (not the forum's ones) it cuts off the rest of the post after them.

    @slipchuck

    In the app, at the bottom, go to Progress. Up the top there is Weight. Click on that, and you can see waist, etc. Then click on waist, for example, then +.

    On the desktop version, you can also add/enter other metrics you want to measure.

    Went for a very long walk on a trail in a scenic area. Although it was HOT outside, I really loved just listening to the sounds of nature without music playing.

    30 minute walk.

    Picked up some prints of my photos I've taken when walking and running, and bought blank cards at the craft shop to put them on. Have lined up selling them somewhere.

    June 17 - Had a nice leisurely day with my family, didn't log food and wrote it off as a cheat day, then got right back into it the next day without feeling guilty.

    June 18 - Worked from home in the afternoon with my cat and some reality TV, and bought a couple more plants for my garden.

    Heading to Florida for a trip with my friend and daughters. Will be relaxing and full of exercise - we like to power walk on the beach and ride bikes. I also may try something new and go on a dolphin cruise. So, it will be five days of self care in a row. Xo
