Exercise? Yes, a 31 minute walk.
Logged? Yes.
Under? Yes, but barely! I need to eat more high volume, low calorie foods because even though I am "under" I am hungry! It is all I can do to not scarf something down! It is just about bedtime so I might be okay....6 -

Intentional rest day. I did do a lot of walking around in 2 different pet stores buying necessities for my new kitty.
Should be able to bring him home next week.

@onward1 - that sounds like an awesome time — and a hike? Now I’m embarrassed to say that if that were me, a hike wouldn’t have even been a thought, let alone a 5 mile hike! Kudos to you.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes: 2 30-minute walks, the second because the power went out in my neighborhood! Darkness indoors, and it was cooler outside than in my house (with the A/C going). There's not a whole lot of insulation here in CA, and it was a summerlike 91-degree day.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, and I had to make some hard choices- the brownie won out over the wine, ha ha!
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes10 -

Yes x 3! Yard work. Christal v Poison ivy vines. VERY thick, very well established vines - like from 1938. Break a sweat type yard work. I went on a rampage & cleared out gobs & gobs for my friend. I am blessed to not react to the oils at all. Not even a little. It has been impossible to find anyone that would take care of the landscaping because the poison ivy was just everywhere, all woven into everything! Now, it's gone. I weeded, trimmed, plucked, and watered till my soul was full and my hands were tired. It feels SO good.10

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? I completely burned out my lower legs doing too much repetitive cardio and have had to take it easy (for me), today was the first day I finally felt improvement. I was motivated and kicked butt doing my chair cardio and strength, weights and resistance, and stretching. Planted the rest of the vegetables and herbs as well.

They know how to get to you. I'm partial to cats because they are easy to keep. I would love a huge dog but without a big yard so the dog could run and do doggy things I would not feel good having one. You'll have to post a picture.3
