    Most of us are tracking our calories; exercising consistently, and maybe even more, but, are you getting enough sleep? I'm not...
    Best wishes,
    Rick

    @RangerRickL wishing you some Zzzzz's. @craigo3154 could probably also use more rest. I'm off to get some Zzzzz's myself.

    I didn't post for the past two days?

    I guess... I was declaring my 4th day pass and it was a downer. But it was a choice. I still had a dry cough and runny nose and thought I'll eat a bit more, taken my medicine and completely rest.

    Exercised- Yes, Zumba
    Calories- Yes
    Tracked - Yes

    Feels good to get back onto this and the tracking, otherwise things can slip. Generally I get good sleep as I am less functional in every way without it. Big storm kept me awake last night though.

    I usually sleep well. I am not a worrier (my wife does enough of that for both of us). Matthew 6:34! I’m retired so I have the luxury of making my own schedule. The only thing that disturbs my sleep is the frequent trips to the bathroom that are the lot of many guys my age. That and occasional aches and pains. Sorry if that’s ‘too much information’ 😮

    I ended up eating for dinner, so I'll use a cheat day. I did do several walks today and logged my food.

    Exercise? Yes...but I was definitely not in the mood for it. Had such a wonderful trip which, ironically, was followed by a flu shot...and then a sore throat and cold immediately following. I did make myself do 20 minutes of indoor YouTube aerobics and 5 minutes of stretches...no more, and no less. I swear...you can go into a doctor's office very healthy and come out sick 15 minutes later!
    Calories? Yes
    Tracked? Yes
    I slept in a recliner last night, keeping head elevated to ease congestion...and then went to bed this morning and got up at 1:30 this afternoon. That is definitely not the norm for me, though.

    I was so looking forward to a visit I scheduled with my former employer who had been in the hospital and rehab for the past year and 9 months. He finally made it back HOME!!!! Yeah!!! Had to cancel the visit I scheduled with him for Monday because I could tell I was coming down with this cold and simply could not risk passing it on to him. I am so pleased he is home, though; and will reschedule my visit as soon as I am 100% sure I won't be passing anything contagious to him.

    Yes but by a narrow margin
    Exercise - yes 30 min evening walk
    Calories - Yes 1370/1400
    Tracked - yes

    sleep - not too bad - the increased exercise helps with the insomnia. I wake every couple of hours but I can usually go back to sleep.
    bonus nsv the 3:00pm crash is gone!

    My report:
    Exercise: as I transition back to cold weather exercise, I have to create a new habit of discipline. Had great workout this morning: 20 minutes of active stretching and then 45 minutes of cardio/strength intervals. I'm a bit sore, but happy.
    Tracking: good
    Calories: big margin below personal limit.

    Went over in calories today I'm pretty sure. I might have done enough exercise to offset it but can't be sure of what I burned, so I'll take the pass.
