@WhatMeRunning Wowsa! You certainly have had an "exciting" start to the month! I think you've done an amazing job of keeping it all together and not "going off the rails"! Seriously! Huge kudos to YOU!3

It took me a long time to learn that you can’t outrun a bad diet. Sure with exercise you can earn extra calories for treats or an indulgence, but it doesn’t give you a license to eat whatever you want the rest of the day!
Exercise:✅
Tracked:✅

I work from home, have for about 29 years, and so I bike on my work breaks when I have time. My husband had the day off today because of yesterday being Fourth of July, but I had to work. So...he was able to join me during one of my weekday rides. Note: we both have Wednesdays off, so we ride then. Today was just a little different for me, though. I enjoyed it. However, I do enjoy my alone time riding, too.4 -
Good on all three today. Was out fishing on my boat for 5 hours which believe it or not is pretty good exercise.4

yes x 3 today. Still have not had time to go through this months posts. Today, we looked at a town house for downsizing and as of an hour ago, we purportedly have an accepted offer. Now just the formalities and then life will be nuts for months. We have to pack up and do some refinishes (paint, cabinetry, tile, and other) of our house to put on the market first thing in september. We'll see what happens. Goal will be to keep my head above water!6

@clutterqueen VERY well said my friend! I'm like you, it took me a long time to figure out that I can't out exercise a bad diet! I also was "killing" myself trying to exercise so much. At 60 I just can't do as much as I used to. I've finally learned to focus on more healthy eating instead!!2

@_JeffreyD_ I'm sure you are right about 5 hours of fishing being good exercise! 🐟🐠🐡🦈 Congrats on a great (and fun!) day!!2

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, in my book. 3 hours organizing and cleaning the garage. And the heat/humidity was back. So, I am counting that as exercise!
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes.
Pass days used: 1/3
I posted last month that trying to out exercise a bad diet put me on the yo-yo cycle that I am now trying to break once and for all. I am determined! June in UAC got me into the habit of tracking daily and this group kept me accountable. My goals for July are to (1) keep that habit, (2) have fewer pass days, and (3) reasonably increase my exercise.8 -

Despite a second consecutive day of hosting a family party that featured my extended family, I did track my intake and exercise.
I got plenty of walking.
I ate lightly during breakfast and lunch. Dinner was the big celebration but I did not go out of bounds.
