Steps -> 4000 steps
Movement -> moved every hour during work
Exercise -> yard work, 30 push-ups and 25 squats, plus getting the bikes in shape for riding
Food -> calories on point, protein 145g, 21 net carbs
Other good news is I went for my first bike ride in years this morning, did 40 minutes on the local bike path!
Fun!
I've finally got my youngest riding a bike without training wheels (he had a vision delay that required neurorehabilitative therapy.) Now we can finally go on the local 15 mile bike trail sometime this summer. Twill be epic!
Hooray!!!
My wife and I got our daughter riding early and she usually rides with me. She got my competitive nature, so she is great for pushing me on the rides. When my wife rides with us, we have to seriously cut back on our 'push', because the wife prefers a more relaxed ride (my daughter and I both like speed and the wind whipping past us!).1 -
6/17:
on-plan
exercise:
The universe conspired against me. Super busy day. Then Dad got his new cell and couldn't figure out how to activate it and update it and all that jazz. That took up all my workout time. After dinner, I was just too tired. I'll have to make sure I workout this weekend to cover missing the workout today.

6/17:
Water was just okay yesterday. I could have had more.
Calories/ macros: I was a wee bit over on calories that I’m not concerned with but macros were a bit higher due to picking up salad for dinner rather than cooking at home due to appointments late in the day. I did eat a few handfuls of popcorn which I don’t normally eat but I was under 80g total for the day. Things could be worse!2 -
6/17 - swore I put my update in for yesterday - but it seems to have disappeared or I never posted... LOL
Squat - 5x5 - 105lbs
Bench - 5x5 -70 lbs (went back 5lbs, lifting with a different group and not as much rest time between sets? Maybe I was getting too much help from the other group?)
barbell Row - 5x5 80lbs
Steps - 7073 - walked to the gym and back, but had awful shoes on all day. Could have made the 10K if I'd walked more during the work day.1 -

I know for me it's been raining for days so the coolness and darkness is killing me. To say nothing of the condition of the world and the changes in our lives right now...that's not funk-inducing at all.
Try to be gentle with yourself and find something fun or relaxing to do for a little while to lift your spirits if you can. 2 -

I’ve been in a bit of a funk lately too with the state of the world right now. I definitely think it has affected my WOE.
Water for the day: not as good as normal- need to increase today.
Calories/macros: I ate more at maintenance and carbs were just under 50g total but they could be lower. Keep on keeping on I guess!3 -
6/18 - rest day!
Steps -> 2000 steps
Food -> calories on point, carbs 32 net, protein 153g
Movement -> moved every hour during work
Exercise -> rest day so no deliberate exercise
Got a second bike ride for the week this morning with my daughter this time - 41 minutes at a relaxed pace (her first time riding in several years).2 -

New challenge for me:
To work out how to use the 'hoola-hoop' that is leaning dustily against my bookcase and make it more than just a puzzling back-drop for online-meetings

6/19-6/21:
Water was good to finish out the weekend but a few adult beverages snuck in there Friday night.
Calories/macros: Sunday spiraled with junk food making me feel bad about the whole weekend. Not sure what the trigger is besides total boredom. I normally am pretty active so once in a while doesn’t hurt but on these hot weekends I’m not doing as much. Trying to work it all out in my brain, balance the activity without being crazy about it and stop eating things I know I don’t need.2 -

Steps -> 6000 for the day
Exercise -> yard work and stayed active during the day
Food -> calories good, 42 net carbs, 186g protein1 -
Saturday was on-plan and exercise
Sunday was on-plan but didn't manage it
Sunday was also emotionally draining thanks to family trouble.
Today is another day in Pandemic 2020.

Three weeks into the month and I have exceeded my bicycle goal of 400km!! I am slightly behind on my step goal of 400,000 but am feeling confident I can make it by the end of the month. Still struggling with the call to binge on (low carb) sweets but trying to stay focused on being active and strong, just keep climbing back onto the wagon! Have a great week everyone, stay safe!3
