@AlphaEliJoe - sounds like a good plan. The 300s will soon be history

@TheresaM787 - which watches are you considering. I have tried them all. Fitbit kept breaking after about a year and I switched to Garmin which I liked better. Later I got an Apple Watch and loved it. It's very intuitive and natural for me since I am team iPhone.

@red1185 - I feel you. I have been stuck for some time. I am hoping that starting a new exercise regime will help kick things back in gear. I also need to tighten up my tracking

@rlaskey2 - sounds like a nice day. I am looking forward being able to go to a restaurant again someday. That will be my strategy when that day comes ... eat only half.

@lindamtuck2018 - I am sorry that the injection did not help and that you are not getting anywhere with your chronic pain. I am so inspired by your determination to walk and exercise despite the pain. I hope you get relief and answers soon.

Peloton 30 minutes, 8 miles. moderate effort
Steps 700, still haven’t made a decision on a smart watch. Thank you @azkunk for your suggestion. I need to just make a decision. I keep putting it off. other responsibilities keep pulling away my attention.

I love my Fitbit ..I have the fitbit Versa (I really want the fitbit sense but I won't get one unless my versa no longer works ...... I had a garmin before which I gave to my daughter

@Beautyofdreams Nice loss - can't wait to see your interview!
@rlaskey2 Please remind me, are you going to the gym for this work-out, or is it an "at home"? Is it a specific plan you are following? What differences have you noticed after 1 month?

Way to go, team. another win under our belts. we need it to help hold up our pants.

@azkunk a good bbq is morale building. now use your better morale on that rowing machine.

@rlaskey2 ohh. smores. being moderate in those instances is wonderful. great thinking. good luck on your walking streak and enjoy your beach walks.

where would i find the podcast "half size me"? i've never looked one up.

everyone has wonderful things going on, even if their scales don't agree. this just shows that there's more to our lives than scales going down. even when we gain a bit it's doing something that we haven't been able to do in a long time and it's making us happier. just get back on track the next day but keep the memory of the happy times you had and let that carry you thru for a while.

check-in for 4/25:
steps - 10117. wow! two days in a row. i think at least several hundred were counted without me moving my feet.

calories - under 1800. i modified dinner a bit to stay under. my lunch was a bit higher than i wanted. i thought the calorie list was for 2 tacos but it was for 1 yet they gave 2. that's fine. i'll just keep that thought for future reference.

exercise. - we went to the wild animal park this morning. we stayed 1 1/2 hours and looked at the parts that we didn't see the first time. up stairs, down stairs, up and down hills. i walked about 3 miles there but i didn't start my fitbit at the beginning and forgot to restart it after our snack break.

i'm looking on barnes and noble now for atomic habits and see they have a workbook. has anyone done it?

Here you go:

It’s also on Spotify.

Here’s a similar one I was just introduced to

I didn’t use the Atomic Habits workbook. He also has resources on his website.

Phenomenal walking days!!! I need to start walking. I keep using the excuse of - it’s too hot outside and my step tracker broke (hubby going to get me a different one for Mother’s Day 🤩).
