    Yes x 3 for Wednesday
    Under in calories again! 25 min dog walk.

    Today I bought a variety pack of sugar free Werther's candies to keep at work. Hoping it will be a low calorie life-saver for when Halloween candy starts showing up every day.

    yes,yes,yes,
    Guess I am off to an ok start to October.
    Went to "the Road" for exercise this morning.
    It was a bit cool. Even though it is light I don't get out of the shade of the canyon walls until an hour into my climb.
    Climbed for a couple of hours. Had the place to myself. Seen some turkeys though.
    Mr Strava Wizard gave me credit for something like 1800 exercise calories.
    I wasn't wearing my heart monitor strap though so I figure more like half of that as realistic.
    I was in kind of a meander mood and did a good bit of walking.
    Some of my miles were like upwards of 20 minutes.
    Pretty sure the days of PR's and PB's are behind me.
    I just don't much feel like punching it to the top these days.
    Count it good enough that I can still get up it.
    Keep thinking about changing my screen name again.
    I want to be something like "old man of the mountain" or something.
    Ack - too long.
    Strava has got this page where you can get a scatter plot of the times for an exercise that you have done repetitively.
    Here is a climb that I have done a lot of times over the past few years. It says 110 time but I think I have done it more than that. I don't know why there is not 110 dots on it.
    Oh well.
    I am kind of obsessive but I am trying not to be too bad.

    Squeaked 3 x Yes. Just about 20 minutes exercise, walking to the shops and back, walking to my first piano lesson since I was a teenager! Stayed under calories, my stomach is still wobbly, so I didn't eat much and I logged what I did eat ... Trying to get back to exercise today, 45 minute stretching class.

    Lol the exercise discussion is very fitting for me today. I missed my normal strength class today. I try to get to the gym 6 days per week for classes even though my typical day is active.
    Today I gardened for 4 hours, walked the dogs three times and walked a very brisk mile out to dinner. Yet Iโ€™m still bummed I didnโ€™t get to my class.

    Had a good day. How I use my calorie intake is I feel at the age of 60 I no longer burn calories at the rate I did before menopause. I selected a sedentary lifestyle even though I have a VERY physical job. This way I feel comfortable eating some of my exercise calories, most days I don't but it gives me the the flexibility I need. Welcome to all our new members and hello again to the returning ones!

    exercise yes
    calories yes
    tracking yes

    I didn't know what Tabata exercise was, looked it up in the oracle of Google and was impressed to learn about it. Sounds terrific!
