@znaoiec - your post brings me such joy. I started smiling as soon as I saw the Snoopy image. Yellowstone and Tetons are amazing places, and how special that you get to explore them with family. When my girls were little, we often went to a state park that has fantastic hiking, climbing over boulders, sloshing through water, etc. My girls are now grown with their own families and that park continues to be their favorite place to return. I am so glad the love of the outdoors is being passed along.

@Mrs_Hoffer - I have a similar situation. About a year after we were married, DH fell down our stairs and wrenched a knee. He refused to see a doctor thinking ibuprofen and rest would fix it. Things really deteriorated after that and although he is still mobile, he’s pretty slow and often wears a brace to help. We still travel and do the things we enjoy, just at a little slower pace.

@donna25trinity – well done to get so close to your goal. You are so committed and consistent you will soon reach that goal and I’m sure these good habits will help you to maintain your status.
You are very lucky to have ocean views - keep up the family walks!

@donna25trinity Yayyyy on getting so close to your goal! You can get there!

My sister and I often go for walks with my son - it was a bit better when he was younger and still fit in his stroller but he's 2.5 now and he's the size of a 4-year-old so he doesn't fit anymore (his dad is 6'4" so he's gonna be a tall boy!). We also use our Apple Watches for an ongoing friendly competition with the inbuilt sharing features. It's nice that when one of us completes a workout, the other gets a notification and can respond with something encouraging or something cheeky!

July 21st:
✅ Tracked all my calories
✅ Stayed under calorie goal
✅ Exercised more than 20 mins (played Audio Trip on my VR for 45 mins - a new game I hadn't played before, it was really fun and worked up a sweat!)

7/21 days (started July 12th, so 7/10 days from when I started)
3 pass days used

Freggies: 1+5 - A colleague brought us coffees which I hadn't budgeted for, so I skipped my afternoon snack that included a serve of fruit. We had homemade tacos for dinner, so lots of salad veg included there and I added avocado. My homemade bolognese pie I had for lunch is packed with veg as well - mushrooms, onion, cherry tomatoes, as well as the canned tomatoes & tomato paste that make up the sauce!

Ohhh another great starting post! My husband spent most of his childhood in the mountains or on the ocean. He does not like being indoors. He has a business that requires all outdoor work. At 6 he had a little boat with a little motor and would disappear. Same in the mountains, tracking etc. As a parent, this baffles and terrifies me. I grew up in the city. While we walked, it was purely of necessity. My husband has taught me to love the outdoors. This was not something I was exposed to growing up and I didn’t know what I was missing. Our adult children, although we did not raise them as wolves, love the outdoors and spend their vacations skiing, sailing, hiking, camping and so many other outdoor activities with their families/friends and often with us. I will camp, but it is not my favorite and I may or may not complain just a teeny tiny bit.
