    Wednesday, June 16th.

    Tracked: Yes.
    Calories: Under.
    Exercise: I went on a 56 minute walk with my dog, 1.92 miles!
    Steps: 7947 / 6000

    I keep adding distance to my walks. My end of month goal is 3 miles. I am definitely coming along. I was gonna try to hit 2 miles, but Dais (dog) was tired. I'm just trying to figure out if I should drop my dog off after so long. (Since my goal mileage is 3 miles) She's getting old and I don't want her hurting. I know she will have a temper tantrum if I leave her, though :D She's such a mama's girl.<3

    Week 3 Day 6
    Friday 19th June

    Tracked - Yes
    Under cals - No, but deliberately not.
    Exercise - Yes

    Experimenting on myself today. I’ve been lacking energy and too sore for the exercise I’ve done, which isn’t normal for me…and Its not like I’m doing HIIT cardio or step aerobics. Biking is low impact, and I haven’t been climbing mountains, LOL.

    Looked back at the past week and my net calories have been between 800-1000, which is too low, even if my calories expended with exercise are a bit inflated…they aren’t that inflated. So I ate at maintenance to help with the deficit, (no worries, I still have enough on the table for planned 1lb weekly loss) and I hope this resolves the problem with soreness.

    Going forward, I have a new plan. I will set my goal to sedentary TDEE on the days I exercise, and leave 500-1000 (but no more than 1000) calories in the green. Bought some protein shake powder to help with this.

    So that’s me, guinea pig #5, reporting in for duty.

    Exercise: I went on a walk with Dais; 40 minutes—1.5 miles.
    Steps: 8763 / 6000

    I worked til 5, parade at 7. So I didn't get my complete walk in (too many people and vehicles around). I also wanted to get her home before the fireworks started (she's terrified of them). My small town has a weekend of festivities every year which is why there's a parade and whatnot.

    @NRTyreman My goal is 3 miles by the end of the month. I haven't set any other goals quite yet.

    So, feeling better but still took it easy today. Legs just felt used, not abused, after my ride. Lesson learned….and that net calories tab is really helpful. I will check it more often.

    I suspect I have actually lost more but I had a rather salty dinner, between that and other factors I expected some water weight today. Been super active this week, fingers crossed I can carry it on next week and see where the results get me next week!

    Exercise - Yes
    Steps - 17,267

    After the little username challenge, I decided to add some similar exercise to my day and kept it up every day so far. Mostly focusing on my core and butt because they are about the same size :anguished::lol:. I have a slight anterior pelvic tilt, which comes from sitting crossed leg on the sofa working for 8 hours a day. Glad to say ! think all the small exercises has already corrected it, I know it sounds daft but I always thought these things took longer to see progress!

    I think using TDEE worked before I added frequent exercise back, but it doesn’t work now. MFP default goals re-installed, LOL. I am like one of those people who puts together a bookcase without reading the instructions and then wonders why they have 15 screws left over. Anyway, moving on….

    Sunday, June 20th.

    Tracked: Yes.
    Calories: Under.
    Exercise: I went on a walk with Dais; 43 minutes—1.55 miles.
    Steps: 10657 / 6000

    My walk would have been longer but it started sprinkling (I thought it was going to rain), so I had my grandpa pick me up. Of course, we got home and it stopped completely. So when I let Daisy out before bed we just walked down the road and back to get some extra steps in. I never get 10k steps and I finally did!

    Non-Scale Victories:
    ─ I can go on walks after working all day at the gas station.
    ─ I need to buy new work pants.
    ─ I have more energy (I do still need my daily naps, lol)
    ─ I hit 10,000 steps.
    ─ I don't crave sugary, baked goods as much (except edible cookie dough every once in a while)
    ─ I have so much less foot, knee, and back pain after working at the gas station.

    At least all this walking has given me an opportunity to learn how much a love audio books! I have listened to 3 this week alone, I gave up reading when I had my 2 year old so it's really nice being able to find away to get back to something I love.

    Oooohh! This is so me! Except mine is 15 years old now! 😂 I always forget about audio books! May I ask what you’ve “read” thus far?!

    My sister showed me how to increase the speed because I can't listen at the normal and it opened my eyes to a new world :love:

    Bit embarrassing, but I only read ludicrous romances that have to involve at least one form of fantasy creature. I am working through all of Sarah J Mass's books currently, sat listening to the latest one in ACOTAR series. To be fair to her, at least these book are better than others I have read, the lead female protagonist in her books so far haven't set me off on a feminist rant (yet). I wish more romance/YA authors would take note!

    @alpdexplorer those are some amazing victories, especially the new pants! Congrats
