Yes I do, for Garmin I'm under GAmom.
Feel free to add me or let me know your Garmin name and I will send a request.1 -

This week I'm in class (zoom) all week, so I scheduled a 5:45 yoga class and I actually ATTENDED it! It feels great to start the day this way, but truthfully I could go right back to bed.
@DaffyGirl88 great work on squeezing in the kayak. We gotta get our lights on the trailer so I can start getting mine out more often. I'm a little scared to go in the channel by myself so need to haul it to some river instead.
Have a super week everyone!!!1 -
@annabananamc Way to get up and do the yoga! A friend of mine (also teleworking) does it at lunch. No way I could do that, they'd lose me every day at savasana.
I go for a walk to wake up after I eat. 1 -
Sunday was another "no" day, but not a free for all in the eating department; I actually ate quite well, I just didn't get out for a walk because of the all day rain and I didn't log anything. Puttered around the house getting some stuff done, but also spent a good chunk watching the men's Wimbledon final and the UEFA final. Neither outcome was the one I was hoping for, though! We also video-chatted with our son, which was lovely. Lounging on the couch, talking to him with tennis in the background...it felt like he was at home there with us! I tried to sync my Fitbit this morning and it wasn't working. Then I figured out it was because I had let the battery completely die. I never do that!! So, I need to get it charged before I take a walk, and there is more rain coming.....1

Sunday, July 11
Track: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: yes About 2 hours of walking all around the city for heritage days, plus about a half-hour of dancing to live music with my girls (while my lazy lima bean/party pooper boys sat and watched).
Water: lots - 80+oz
The river is SO muddy from all this rain, so I don't really want to take the paddle board out. Ick. And my spousal unit still can't find won't look for the second roller rack so that I can actually get my kayak on/off the car without a second person. Obviously, I struggle with a significant lack of at-home support for my healthy choices.
Might try to run to the gym instead, though I hate working out in a gym when I can be outside. It's JUST physical exercise, and never seems to offer me the same sorts of mental/emotional benefits that outdoorsy stuff gives me. And my bike is STILL in the darn shop getting a broken spoke repaired. So, while I'm trying to be positive about it all, I'm feeling a bit trapped confined inside, and that's definitely NOT my happy place.
But I'm making it work. I just keep reminding myself that I'll have plenty of time in the fall when everyone is out of the house (which I will undoubtedly be complaining about because I'll miss the kids - not so much the spousal unit - while they're away. I haven't been in an empty house for over 8 years!)2 -

@CycleMomOf3 I have never heard of rollers, so I had to Google them. Or more accurately, Amazon LOL Now I'm trying to figure out if they will work with my J-hooks. My husband kayaks with me but he's not very spontaneous, I have to start priming him now for next Sunday, saying "we should go for a paddle this weekend" a couple of times a day until he gets used to the idea. There's no - Hey! It's only 5:00 and we're done with dinner, let's go kayak!!1

If anyone is on Garmin Connect, I am currently getting everything set up. They just shipped it today, but trying to be ready to hit the ground running.
I'm CycleMomof3 on GC too.1 -
@gamommy2 I've added you!
@CycleMomOf3 any chance your GC username is actually cyclemomof4? I couldn't find you!

Hmm...I think when I went to change it, I was on my phone earlier and my wifi kept fritzing out on me, so it might have actually been my proper name. It should be right now, I think.
I keep trying to add @gamommy2 and for some reason it won't let me. I'll try again.

I couldn't get gamommy first but then realized she said GAmom. I kept putting her mfp username 2 -

I guess when this Fitbit dies I need to get a Garmin. 🤷♀️3 -
Monday, July 13 check-in
Track: yes
Under: yes
Exercise: 16.48 miles on the stationary bike (75 minutes). I can't wait until my bike is fixed and out of the shop, but in fairness, while I don't feel like gym-work mentally refreshes me, it's still a physical workout (and in a/c, which was a bit of a reprieve from this nasty heat and humidity we've had this summer). The bonus is that they were playing the movie "The Greatest Showman," which was a surprisingly good motivator in terms of pacing for my workout.
Water: A LOT. 128+ oz. Like I said, REALLY HOT.
@DaffyGirl88 Yesssssssss, join us (she says in her best mind-controlled zombie voice).
USPS says delivery on Friday.

@CycleMomOf3 I agree about the A/C. I use my spin bike with the Peloton app in the morning but did a 10 mile ride yesterday afternoon (94 w/ heat index of 103).
I'll be heading out again later today because I (stupidly?) pledged to ride 50+ miles this week for another challenge. LOTS of water. I didn't even keep track yesterday, I just knew it was at least 5 bottles so that's what I put down.
YAY Friday!!1 -
Wow! Hi everyone! Sorry for not weighing last week, I couldn't figure out where to go! This is my first time with this monthly challenge, looking forward to working with you all. My weigh in day is Thursday, do I post my update here? 1

Hey Garmin peeps - I need some help! I have unpacked my road bike after 5 years, and remembered I have a Garmin Fenix2 to use with it, with all the bike mount and cadence pieces. I haven't Garmin'ed in forever. Is this device even worth keeping? (I use a Fitbit Charge 2 right now, I obviously don't need to have the latest and greatest)
AND if I do use it, what is this Garmin club you all are in?
LOVE YOU FOLKS for inspiring me every day!2 -

Anna are you not using Fitbit? I just started a hiking challenge and would love to invite you!0 -
@annabananamc Yay for unpacking your road bike! They're more fun if you ride 'em, right?
We'll have to do a "show me a photo of your sweet ride" sub-thread! One of my favorite things, outside of riding, is taking pictures of my bike leaning against $***. 
As for the Fenix2, I'm not sure whether they're still supporting the Fenix2. I used to use a CatEye when I used to do endurance gravel rides. I've wanted a Garmin for a decade, so I'm super excited. Garmin Connect is the app that links up to the Garmin devices. Hoping yours is still supported!
Wheels up, yo!
