I use music to help me keep pace ( and motivated) as I jog. I only use 1 ear bud so I can still be aware of my surroundings at all times.
I also like to listen to music as I clean. Makes mundane chores more pleasant. Finally, if I’m having a tough day, cranking up some praise music helps me have an eternal perspective and get the focus off myself!
Exercise:✅
Tracked:✅
Under:✅
I actually initially went over by 34 calories and had to go for a mile and a half walk to get back under. Wouldn’t have been that big a deal, but after having a stressful day, I feared I would just go for broke if I didn’t get back under.10 -

"Failure is an event, not a person." Zig Ziglar.
A couple of days ago was my grandson's 11th birthday. He chose IHOP for his birthday dinner (which is also one of MY favorite places!! I had asked his daddy if we could go to dinner Monday night, but somehow we got our wires crossed, and my grandson thought it was tonight. He called me at 6pm and asked where I was!
I didn't want to disappoint him, so I told him I was on my way!! But today was a fasting day for me - so I sat with him and watched him eat chocolate pancakes with whipped cream and chocolate chips and just drank water!!
It wasn't too bad - as much as I like chocolate, that wouldn't've been my choice, so I wasn't tempted! And 11 is such a cool age and we had a great time. I told him we'd have to come back another time, SOON!!!
I rarely listen to music when I walk - I prefer listening to audiobooks (from the library) on the Libby app. I probably "read" 2-3 books a week this way. I will sometimes dance for exercise to gospel music or praise music.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 30 minute walk.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Nope. This is the second day in June I have gone over my calorie limit, and my walk did not do enough to offset my extra intake. It was our first time eating at a restaurant since February 22, 2020. So, I celebrated.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
I am going to up my exercise this week. MFP and this group are keeping me accountable and making me really pay attention. Thank you to everyone!

It was a beautiful summer day at the farm. First time for having a drone taking aerial photos. The evening sunset sky was pink, blue, gray, magenta and touches of neon aquamarine.
Exercise: lots of walking; farm activity and lift/carry
Calories: under my limit

The only time I don't listen to music while exercising is when I'm on the bicycle. If I'm running or walking I use my ipod Classic set on shuffle and away we go. Indoors I crank up the stereo with a hard rock or metal cd for everything but yoga or Pilates. I'm a hardcore music lover so I do listen to just about anything though, depending on my mood.
Day #18 75 Hard Challenge completed.9 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? I did! I did! 1 hour (11.3 miles) on my bike. 1.25 hours (walking the dog - when she wants to stop, it takes an act of god to move her sometimes... and when she wants to go, all I can do is hang on. Seriously, though, she's not really that bad... well, about the stopping to sniff... it's close! So 2.25 hours in total - I might get another 10 minutes or so a little later when we take Sienna for her last walk of the night.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, but only because of the extra allowance for all the exercise. We went out to dinner to a new place tonight. I got a relatively healthy chicken sandwich, but also had the garlic truffle fries.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, yes I did.

Yes x 3 today, and I planned out my exercise for the rest of the week, so no excuses.
I almost always listen to music when I go out for a walk. I have several different playlists, depending on my purpose. Sometimes I'm just trying to walk off a bad mood (for which I use the playlist appropriately titled Mood), and sometimes I'm trying to Work It Out. Other times, I'm just out there to Walk the Walk. Once in a while I'll listen to a podcast instead of music. I'm a huge fan of Brene Brown's podcast Unlocking Us. My rule is that if I want to keep listening, I have to keep walking.9 -
Yes x3
Good to be back on track after two pass days.
Exercise was a walk, cleaning the house, and exercises.
I listen to podcasts while walking but music while exercising to keep me motivated and pumped up, and because podcasts are too distracting when trying to count reps and sets9 -
Pass day 2/3 used today, still ran 5.5km at least!7

We will take outdoor walks several times together this week.
They want to go sailing again before they leave.
We will go for an outdoor walk & backyard dinner with her family.
And his wife invited me to do 2-3 outdoor walks in SF when they stay with friends.
I’m beyond thrilled. A kidney transplant is a miracle & I AM completely grateful AND it is a constraint on what you can do in the best of times, but with COvID it is really difficult.
I’m going to go out on a limb here..if you are on the fence about getting the vaccine, please consider doing it for all the organ transplant patients, the cancer patients, the autoimmune patients- and everyone else on prednisone, steroids, and other immunosuppressants. We are literally at the mercy of the rest of you.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES, I was supposed to start week 3 of my C25K program today but procrastinated and then was too tired after my afternoon gardening session that involved wrestling some shrub roots out of the ground during the worst heat of the day. I did manage a half hour walk later on for 1.49 miles after the sun set and it'd cooled off some. I'll get back on track with C25K tomorrow!

I listen to audio books and podcasts when walking, and music when running. I used to have songs loaded on my previous phone (that fell into a river with me when I tipped my canoe over while disembarking - so embarrassing!), but after losing my playlist I switched to streaming my music through Amazon.6 -
