Exercised?: Yes (5km walk in 38 mins - hills).
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes

Work from home again today.

Walk after dinner. Still light at 8:00pm. Daylight savings is a bonus for that.

Drone race tomorrow. Last of the Winter season. Have a chance to win my division for the season if I fly well. Wish me luck.

Also repaired my 2 non-working drones last night. One had an electrical fault (delicate soldering to swap components to fix). The other hit concrete on Tuesday night at about 80kmh (50 mph) and only damage was battery strap (expendable) and battery (now awaiting recycling). A video cable came loose, but that was easy to re-solder. Both test flown today and work fine.


One thing I forgot to mention yesterday is that my wife, for the first time in her adult life, is now under 200 lbs.

Today (Nov. 2) is a new beginning and I'm happy to be back on track, and to be back in the challenge. This time I won't quit just because of a few mistakes, I'm here to the end! 💪

Yay YOU! That's the attitude!

Exercize - 1h20 gym cross training / 3h surfing

Apparently the best waves of this swell happened overnight, baffling all of us. What we have been left with were smaller and slower waves but I made do, in the end I still managed to stay 3hrs into the water and come home feeling so cold.
A good day.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? ✅
20 mins lower body circuits; 18 mins yoga; 90+ mins walking (various speeds)
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? ✅
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? ✅

Exercise = yes, 25mins very brisk walk
Calories = yes
Logged = yes

Exercised: Not enough. An hour long walk, but that's too low for me.
Stuck within budget: haaaaahahahahahahaaaaaaa
Tracked: Yes!

Because of having spent the day standing around in hot, hot, hot sunlight, I didn't get to exercise at ALL. I live for summer, but I hate just 'standing' in it. I need to move through it. So, when I got back home, I felt listless and sludgy. I went for a dusk walk which definitely lifted my energy level, but I ate too much for what little activity I did. I ate mostly /99% whole foods, but overate, and then had three serious fistfuls of dried fruit and roasted nuts - so, preservatives, sugar, and not-good-fats (instead of roasting my own or having raw).

Disappointed, but I can do better. I WILL do better.

Yes x 3

Did an hour on the treadmill today doing a really hard interval program.

I love Dr. Seuss!!
