    Exercise: lots of yard work plus a serious core workout
    Another great weigh-in this morning! Oddly enough, I think allowing myself to eat back some of my exercise calories is actually helping me make progress more quickly. I know drastic calorie deficits lead the body to think resources are scarce, which slows down weight loss--I just didn't think a hundred calories here or there would make such a big difference.

    @pamjsa
    I agree with this. Sometimes you need to eat a little more to lose a little more. Here's to more great weigh-ins!

    Thanks @fractaltiger !
    Terrific name by the way!! Conjures up some really cool images in my mind!

    Always happy to share strategies! The hike was the result of 10K steps+ every single day (yearly average >10K) except for colonoscopies LOL since March 2018.

    An esteemed surgeon told me unequivocally to walk 10K steps every day for the rest of my life - no rest days. I think I weighed about 216 or 211 & the scale was bobbling around. “I’m a busy surgeon, consulting in 7 countries, and I do it, so you can, too.” No nonsense straight talk, but kind. I have walked ever since. If I think of not doing it, I just say “Doctor’s orders” to myself & I’m out the door. I wouldn’t think of not taking a prescription & this WAS one. Sometimes flat route and slow, flat & fast, hilly & slow, hilly & long, hilly & fast. I pay attention to how I’m feeling & work with it so I don’t get injured.

    BTW: Every other time I lost weight, I was FREEZING. Not this time. I really wonder if it’s the walking & possibly all the extra food I can give my body because of it. IDK

    Re: the streak & my new approach...happy to share more once I’ve convinced myself of the proof of concept! Not convinced yet!
