Yes x3
Many more exercise calories left than yesterday. Yet don't feel hungry which is good.
NSV is losing an inch from most of my measurements compared to last winter!
Rick, am keeping your family in my prayers during this tough time7 -
My thoughts are with you @RangerRickL

NSV: I’m not overeating even though I’m in the medical of some scary medical tests.
I’m also maintaining with ease for the first time in my life. I feel this is habit related! My hunch was eating out of as making it more difficult & I’ve now proved that IS the case. The cravings to eat out still appear, but we don’t eat out due to COVID. Hopefully I can still not eat out as COVID disappears.10 -

My NSV is feeling mentally better every day that I do exercise. It is a major factor at keeping my stress and anxiety in check.8 -
I’m sorry for the situation that you are in, Rick! That decision is a difficult one to make. My thoughts are with you and your siblings.
June 15th
Exercise? Yes, 1 hour of strength training
Calories? Yes
Tracking? Yes
I know it’s the point of the group, but tracking consistently is my NSV. I haven’t been this mindful of my eating habits in months. It feels great to focus on my physical health again.8 -
Yes x 3 for Monday
Tracked, on target, and did a 30 min walk.
Thoughts are with you and your family, Ranger Rick. Wishing you a peaceful week.
I don't feel like I have alot of NSV yet, I'm just barely starting to feel like my old self after hibernating for months. I suppose tracking again, eating clean, purchasing an actual scale for home to keep myself accountable: these are small but certainly count as victories in the long run.6 -

My NSV is being able to walk with a gal that is almost 25 years my junior and to have her fall behind and breathing harder than me. My other NSV is walking with someone who I believe is close to my age and considerably overweight. She walked with my friend that is younger than I .... thinking were going to have to carry her back to her car..and that wasn't possible. Poor thing I felt so sorry for her. Staying active and chosing good food for the most part can be a life saver..literally.
Really enjoying the comments. Thanks for sharing. May more NSVs to come be in our future!!
Rick, so sorry to hear about your Dad. Sending hugs.

Yes, yes, and yes. It was a good day.5

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, I bought a well-made step ladder (called a Louisville Ladder, made for indoor work), carried it home in my car, set it up safely in my yard, made absolutely sure it wouldn't wobble, and cleaned my own gutters on my one-level (ranch) house.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes, barely
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes8 -
@RangerRickL I'm so sorry to read this, but I know from reading your posts over the last year that you come from a loving, supportive family who will help each other. My best wishes and prayers are with all of you.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Leg Day! 45 minutes of leg strength + 2 mile walk this morning.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes and under
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yep!6 -
@Hollis100 we do have a very supportive and expressive family!
My report is two days of Pass days.
Oh well!

@RangerRickL Prayers and supportive thoughts to you and family!
Yes *3 for me.
NSV: Tracking everything has been really insightful re assessing my hunger vs. fullness levels.6 -
@RangerRickL I'm glad to hear your family came together to make the right decision for your dad. I hope he - and you - feel better, happier, and freer on this path.
Exercise - Yes! - This was ALMOST a pass day - stuck at work til 10:30 pm, literally zero sleep last night. Somehow at 10:30 I felt like I had a little left in the tank! I knew that once I got home, a workout was not happening, but the hospital has 19 floors, so I stayed another half hour and climbed them - all of them, up and down, twice! Just shy of 1000 stairs in total - despite taking my time, it was QUITE a workout!
Tracked - Yes
Calories - Yes
My NSV is a change in mentality. I can spend another 30 min awake to get a workout in. The first sign of hunger isn't an emergency. My happiness is not dependent on overeating. I can let loose a little AND stay on track to reach my goals.

day 15
exercise yes
tracking yes
budget yes
@RangerRickL best wishes to you during this time.Got a good climb.
Parked at the bottom of the ski area and climbed on up it.
Got near the top and opposite direction traffic was a bicycle guy on one of them racing kind of bikes.
He was singing. Heh Singing like he had the whole place to himself or otherwise wasn't the kind of guy to be easily embarrassed.
He was singing Led Zeppelin "stairway to heaven."
I guess that is an appropriate song for climbing a mountain.
He was descending though.
So maybe he was singing to me.
Must have Had his earbuds in and cranked.
I used to do that with my earbuds.
I think it made me faster.
Music tempo giving me a pace.
Heh, singing because I think nobody is around.
No more earbuds for me.
My ears got kind of a persistent ringing in them.
But I am thinking about trying my hand at yodeling.
That might be alright but would probably scare off wildlife that I like seeing.
Don't know what to say about NSV.
I found a picture that someone took of me when I was on a cruise some years ago. I don't resemble that guy any more.6 -
Yes x 32
