ETA: OK I see their book is geared towards 50 year olds+.
Maybe so, but that doesn't mean that younger folks can't benefit by starting to build that kind of activity into their habitual lifestyles sooner .... even if the the anecdotal examples the authors use are chosen more to inspire an "older" reader

Exercise: 8 mins General weights, interval walking for 70 minutes while watching Dancing on Ice on TV. Walking/jogging at the pace of the dance music, and resting in between routines. I do Leslie Sansone style walking when I do this sort of thing. I can get quite a flow on when I do this. Also walked during another programme as I had quite a sedentary day today visiting family.

Exercise- Yes, Sunday’s are my no gym day. So I did my own 30 min of yoga plus a neighbor gifted me a six piece wicker outdoor furniture set, instead of using the truck I carried them one at a time down the street and up through my house to the second floor balcony. I hustled too😜

January 6, 2019:
EXERCISE: Yes. Got my long run in today. 8 miles in 1:04:10 (8:01/mile). It was my first fast run since having oral surgery in December, so I finally feel like I'm back to my old self again. In total, I ran 22 miles this week. Climbing to 26 this week in a slow build up to 50.
CALORIES: Yes. 2020 target; 2580 consumed - 1131 exercise = 1449 net. Hit my protein target as well.
TRACKING: Yes. I have nothing to add to this today, haha.
I do my best to exercise every single day, but sometimes my body does tell me that it needs a rest day. Thankfully, I get in a lot of walking during the course of a day, usually walking at a pace of about 3.5 mph. 10,000 steps is almost never a problem for me during the work week.7 -

Yes x 3. Nice brisk walk around our local lake. Mental activity achieved too as submitted an assignment for my post grad course. (on my 2nd and final year and with work and a 2 year old I often find myself asking whether it's all worth it when deadlines approach. Feeling better now it's handed in.)
@davert123 hope you're OK.
@craigo3154 I had to get my car a new alternator recently too. And this weekend my boiler has given up the ghost. Brrrr. Leaves me wondering what will break next...6 -

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.4

@peachpastries
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.3 -

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.3 -

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. 3
