Longer walk today. Was very tired and my pace was not it's usual.

Went drone race flying in the morning. Was good to fly. Unfortunately things to fix before competition next week.

I now know I am really not mentally 100%. Flying usually leaves me exhilarated, but somehow not today. Was enjoyable, but the usual "buzz" just wasn't there.


@RangerRickL. Glad you had a good day at the parade with the horses.

Hi everyone, last month I asked for help in finding substitutes for chips and you all came up with amazing ideas! This month I'm back to ask for help with substitutes for another kind of chip: chocolate!

I love having a bite of dark chocolate after my dinner, but with choc chips it's too easy to just keep grabbing small handfuls over and over. I don't want to buy a large dark chocolate bar either because those are messy to break up and also easy to overeat.

Ideally I'm looking for single-serving pre-cut individual servings of super dark chocolate. Anyone have tips for brands or types to try? Thanks!

I've been slacking - travel + losing some focus.

For dark chocolate, I eat at least 70%. The 70% tastes better than 85% to me. The trick is to remember why I eat it, then hide it after one serving where even I can not find it or put it somewhere that I have to drive to it in order to get a second serving.
Yes, x 3 over here. Nice easy run. About an hour.

I guess tiredness and a busy weekend broke me down with my eating. I wanted to get to the gym but ended up taking a nap late this afternoon, and then I had a small chocolate craving....so I guess it's PASS DAY 1 for me.

Back at it tomorrow in full swing!

I had a rough week last week, logged & tracked & exercised all days but my calories were almost always over. Tomorrow is a new day & a new start.

I like to get sometimes 100 caleries dark chocolate bar. As far as the dark choc chips for snacking, I keep my choc. Chips in the freezer and use for baking only. I have gotten choc cravings and gotten into them.But have to watch myself not to binge on them. For a choc chip alternative, there is carob chip or barley mult chips. Both are good.

@RangerRickL, you might be interested to know that we live in a little town in So Cal actually called "Horse Town USA". We don't own horses but most of our neighbors do and we're surrounded by horse trails rather than side walks. Most of the properties are minimum of 1/2 acre and many with more acreage and several large horse ranches near us. Not a day goes by that I don't see people riding horses along the horse trail in from of my house or Penny and I meet them on the trail when we walk!
