    I want to thank you all for your inspiration; I am leaving this app to return to Sparkpeople. For me, it is simply easier to navigate in all areas. Stay healthy everyone, and thank you again.

    If you made your own croissants seriously you do deserve a pass day. How are you supposed to resist the buttery smell coming out of the oven?

    Hope you feel better tomorrow. I think most people - me at least--have had some days when we just couldn't stop eating. Do what you need to do to get your head back on the game.

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, walked the dog - she was glad!
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes! by more then usual
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes not quite 100 today - a little low!

    Thanks for the book recommendation. I was able to grab it from digial library download so I'll take a look at it tonight. From your description I totally agree!
    My Gram died at 93 (super sudden, we call it "twinkled". She walked or rode her stationary bike every day, was still taking care of her farm house living alone, and was adored by all. She's my hero and she could have written such a book.

    Exercise: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Tracking: Yes

    Today was an off day for me. I dropped my husband off at the airport super early and then went into the office to catch up on work and ended up staying most of the day. I got behind on my exercise and really had to force myself to exercise when I got home. I am trying to complete the circles on my Apple watch each day so it took me a while to get there. My heart just wasn't in it but I did finish. I finished the last bit reading the posts while on the treadmill. I got inspired reading Rick's post about the book "Younger Next Year". It took me a while to find it but I realized I had ordered it as a digital download but never read it. I am excited to read it now! Rick, thanks so much for all the info that you share. And of course, everyone else. :)

    Exercise ... this is such an essential element for me. It helps to curb my appetite and it gives me an overall feeling of well-being. At 74, it is also crucial to keep me off of medications and moving!

    My normal daily activity orior to MFP was riding. One of the reasons I got really serious about losing weight and getting fitter was moving into the upper levels of riding dressage. This level of riding requires significant core strength in addition to aerobic figness. So, in addition to riding I have added rowing (6 days a week) and strength training (3 days a week). These have had a super positive effect on my riding (and losing weight :smile: ). Finally, I added 60 minutes of pool exercises (primarily stretching and range of motion) as my recovery day off-horse exercise on non-strength training days.

    As a result of all of this, I am actually in the best overall physical condition of my adult life and at the best weight since high school! I have never felt better.

    Message ... it is never too late (although it might be a bit easier when you're younger :smile: )

    @jan110144
    WOW WOW WOW!
    This post is the most inspiring one I have read in 397 days on MFP. I am in awe of you.

    I will have to look into rowing and doing more stretches.

    Thank you incredibly much, Jan.

    1/6

    Exercise? Yes, over 3 and 1/2 hours total. Walk for 75 minutes in the village with DH. The rest was devoted to multiple 20-30 minute sessions of indoor aerobic exercise videos with Leslie Sansone, Gilad, and Jane. It was a grueling day for me...as it seemed I was forever trying to "catch up," but it beat taking a pass. Serves me right for starting off the day with poor choices (cookies and a doughnut). Lesson learned? You would think so...but a repeat performance is not out of the realm of possibilities in the future. I am not infallible...but let's hope the next incident with poor choices starting the day is in the distant future!
    Calories? Under by less than 100
    Tracked? Yes

    @w8goal4life I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.
    You Inspire Me Daily!!!!

    Hi All,
    UAC just saved the day for me Again.

    Had 6 mins of exercise & cold & raining outside— didn’t want to face it.

    All your talk about HIIT etc soo got on exercise bike, thought I’d do 20 mins, then my fingers punched in 30 min HIIT then I kept going to meet my Active calorie burned minimum of 500. Ended up with 63 mins of exercise so far. Will post final at bedtime.

    THANK YOU!!

    @corriepelc Since you walked over 12,000 steps on your 'rest' day, you are definitely getting more than 20 minutes per day of exercise. Well done!!
