Congrats on the sub-60 10k @MaltedTea, that is an impressive feat!2

I have ups & downs with my freggies. Lately it's been down, so I've been really trying to get more in, especially fruit as it's not really part of my everyday. I will be aiming for the 2+5 recommendation this week (starting Sunday since Saturday is already over here)!
July 17th:
✅ Tracked all my calories
❌ Stayed under calorie goal
❌ Exercised more than 20 mins
3/17 days (started July 12th, so 3/6 days from when I started)
3 pass days used
Yikes, I really gotta get myself back outta this rut!!4 -
What a day painted front porch while hubby and son completed the new stone wall around the garden in front of house looks so nice 🙂
My exercise was painting all day, logged tracked and stayed under I think I will sleep well tonight 😴7 -
Another travel day. Pass4

@MadisonMolly2017 what a great post about freggies! In the past 6 months or so I believe I've tripled my intake of freggies... I am going to work to increase that even more!
@MaltedTea Impressive time on your 10k. Those new shoes are very fast! Lol. Seriously tho, awesome job.
@TerriRichardson112 I've been trying to increase my protein... keeping a bag of frozen prawns in the freezer is a good idea - I will have to try that! Thanks.4 -

Was over my MFP goal but under what my Apple Watch said I burned for the day by a couple hundred so I’m not overly worried about it. The separate tracking I’m doing in excel is highlighting how much MFP shorts me on my “maintain” number and it’s quite a lot! Hopefully I’ll end July with a good idea of where my daily goal should be going forward. 🤞🏻4 -

I need to take pass days from the 9th thru 17th. Its been a rough week and half but I think its finally over now. Of course I have boundaries established and my attorney has given me some advice. I honestly thought of dropping out of UAC and joining in August but this is part of the problem also of feeling like my goals are on "hold" until the start of next month or at the mercy of my abusive ex. So I am disqualified for July, but I need to continue to post and get active in the UAC again so I can start to develop my healthy habits and stop the unhealthy habits.

no exercise, but otherwise ok.
last night I ate after posting, so now I am at 4 pass days for the month, out of the WC, but will keep at it.7 -
@KCJen I'm so sorry that you're still going through all the drama with your ex... but I'm glad that you've decided to continue to post in the UAC and work on getting back to your healthy habits!! Most of all, PLEASE stay safe! {{{HUGS}}}.4

Another beautiful summer day and lots of exercise, both intentional and incidental.
Intentional exercise: 20 minutes active stretching while listening to Pandora Relaxation Radio and then 25 minutes cardio/strength listening to Pandora Cardio Classic Rock. It's a nice pairing.
Calories: well below margin but way too little "freggies". New word but an important concept
Tracking: good5 -

Did I exercise at least 20 minutes? I did. And I think I may have pushed myself a bit much.I rode 25 miles total. On the way out, I averaged about 12.5 mph, easy peasy.
Turning around, things didn't go quite as easily. It was a bit uphill and it was getting hotter.
I averaged between 10-11 mph from miles 13 to about 17, dropped to about 9.5 mph from 17 to 21 and, bam! I hit the proverbial wall. Dizziness, nausea, and finished my water.
Had to get off the bike and was just standing there with my head on my seat. It took several minutes before I could walk my bike and my sorry @$$ over to a shady spot under the bridge where I could sit down and rest for a bit. Finally felt well enough to move again, walked my bike to the other side of the bridge and started to ride again. The rest of my ride was a leisurely 7.5 mph. And when I got home I sucked down water as I sprawled on the couch.
Did I track everything? Um, sadly, yes. If I hadn't, the numbers would have looked a lot better than they did.
Did I stay within my calorie goal? As you may have surmised from my previous answer, that's a big no.
We had some rain here this week so the "rivers" actually have some water in them.
Funny thing (at least I thought it was funny, well, maybe not funny, but odd)...Had the first in-person meeting of our reunion committee today at the home of one of the gals. She has friends (Virginia and Dave - not a couple, just on their committee together) in the Class of '71 that she almost always invites to our (Class of '76) committee meetings. I met Dave once, 5 years, ago when they came to a meeting but didn't really spend much time talking to either of them. Virginia has been around several times since then, but not Dave. Today, we talked for a bit and then, out of the blue, Dave asked me out. WTH? Seriously, I didn't see that coming! He says "I have a question. I'm going to ask you to go somewhere with me."
"Okay?"
"Have you ever heard of a pianist who goes by..."
To myself, "don't say it, don't say it, don't say..."
"Mr..."
"oh crap, he's going to say it."
"...Boogie Woogie?"
"Sigh"
Of all the local musicians he wants to take me to see, why did it have to be that one? I thanked him, agreed the man is an awesome musician, but told him I can't go see him. I explained to him why, and I won't go into it here except to say it doesn't directly involve me. So, we agreed we'd find some other local musician(s) to go see. Still... how weird to get asked out at all. I have been divorced since 2005 and can count the number of times I've been asked out since then on one hand and have fingers left over. Hahahaha!
