Yesterday morning, I took this picture of the front entrance to the St Louis, Missouri Union Station (Trains) built in 1893. The building has been converted into a modern hotel & entertainment complex.
Our family is united for a several day vacation. We have 4 adult children who all have spouses or significant others. We are also traveling with our 4 grandchildren. Last night, we arrived at a lake side resort for 4 days of swimming and boating.
We have not all taken a vacation together in several years.
If you are vacationing this summer, what do you plan to do?7 -

Exercised?: Yes. 5km walk in under 40 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Rainy day, managed to pick the gap for a walk (mostly).
Kind of quiet day at home before the usual flight interstate for work for another week.RangerRickL wrote: »@craigo3154 One of my friends, who is your age range, has been a Type 1 diabetic since he was diagnosed at age 12. Several months ago, he chose to adopt a Keto diet. It has dramatically improved his health. He has lost over 45 pounds; insulin use has dropped by 90%.
Based on his experience, I believe your wife is going to have profound positive outcomes.
If you want more specific information, please let me know. My friend, Jerry, is very enthusiastic about his results
@RangerRickL. Yes. Any information on this would be most helpful.
My research last year came up with similar results, but you cannot force someone to do something. They need to take the initiative to change. "You can lead a horse to water ...."
My wife's specialist has asked my wife to lower her insulin dose already based on the previous 2 weeks results (Yay!!). My wife is starting to feel the benefits and I am supporting as much as I can (as well as leading the way with the habits I have established over the past year).

Exercised - yes! 53 minutes and 2.52 total miles walking around Pittsburgh and Carnegie Mellon
Calories - under (I’m allowed a range of 1500-1800 for the research study I’m in)
Tracked - 💯
Despite traveling in the car for 8+ hours I still managed to get in 11,198 steps and only ate one meal out. Split a salad and Neapolitan pizza with my daughter for dinner. Everything else I ate were healthy pre-measured snacks. Total win for me!

Exercise: Walked to the bus stop in town and back, did a bunch of walking around too so 10.5k steps in all
Calories: I am super disappointed in myself. Was on track for a great day then my friends invite me for drinks and Vietnamese food. That would have been fine except I come home and my boyfriend had Chinese food which I had a lot of. I wasn't even hungry. I'm doing really well when controlling what I eat but as soon as other people are involved my resolve just vanishes! I asked him not to offer in future lol. I do like a takeaway but there's an appropriate time and place.
Tracked: I did track everything at least so I'm doing well there2 -

Yes x 3
Exercised: 94 mins walking, 11,914 steps
Calories: 2310-2303= just under by 7
Tracked: all
A special lunch was higher in calories than I thought, so I did LOTS of extra walking. Then had a teensy, carefully counted bedtime snack to remain just under.
Whew!1 -

I posted last night but the DONE button got me!!!
Ate OK, within my ideal calorie range and everything tracked.
Light exercise because I donated blood, but the exercise was a walk on the beach before sundowners to celebrate my friend's dad who passed away from cancer on Wednesday. A good time with great people. I went to the funeral this morning to support her and ended up in the second row, as family (totally unexpected, but she is family in my mind anyway.) It was a great celebration of his life with lots of laughing at funny stories and the family singing along to some of his favourite songs. So much of what people said about him is exactly what I see in her, definitely Daddy's girl! She is coping so well, sad but relieved that he isn't suffering anymore.2 -
