    ✅✅✅

    Great topic for today - thanks @MaltedTea for leading us and thanks to all for sharing your insights. This is a super group!

    I have a tendency to be a bit of a Pollyanna most of the time, but when I am hurt or significantly let down by others, I crash really hard into a pit of sarcasm and negativity. I’ve had a tough time recently and have found the following intentional approaches do help me:

    * Get enough sleep
    * Stop extrovert/busy behaviour and spend some time alone (I love to read)
    * Practice positive self-talk
    * Follow a healthy lifestyle (being here helps 🥰)
    * Keep a sense of humour

    We are trying again tomorrow for the trip to see our daughter. Finally, less smoky weather is forecast. It will be a great little mini-break. Six hours in the car total there and back, but we have a long walk along the river planned (we are bringing the 11 month old pup).

    I will track, but am expecting to use one of my pass days as I am certain I will be “over calories”. Will enjoy and savour every bite!

    😍 all the positivity but our members are sharing. I'll be back later to see how y'all are doing.

    @idoliov - 👍🏻 On today's 3 x yes. Some months, we just need more than three pass days. The good thing is that you can still be a Champion if you keep on logging in.

    @jamcnewman - us Pollyannas need to stick together 😂 I hope you manage to get that great trip that you have planned with your daughter. 😍 The wee black pup .

    @seilidhe - Yay! 👍🏻 5 minutes off your time.

    @ashleycarole86 - frisbee always sounds like such a fun activity.

    @readyornot - Fortunately, the universe also throws us some fabulous times. Those are the ones that I think we should choose to focus on.

    @RangerRickL - Family time is so important. It's one of the things that we have all missed so much during the last 18 months.

    @bradkcrew - WOW! That was dedication. My go to in that particular situation is to put on some rock music and dance. Much more enjoyable for me, but maybe not your style?

    @Mrs_Hoffer - you are the epitome of positivity. I have my fingers crossed for better weather tomorrow so that you can get in those 31 miles. I am positive that you will succeed.

    @stella7x7 - @GrandmaJackie - @clutterqueen - special occasions are the reason we have pass days. I hope you enjoyed your day.

    @MaltedTea - sounds like you were skipping and dancing for joy.

    👍🏻 Yay for 3 x yes @thabit11 - @SummerSkier - @tdrjustus3

    Took pass days on Thursday and Friday so I’m over for the month and we’re only a week in. So it goes.But I’m not quitting. 3 YES day today - a brisk 30 minute treadmill walk.
    THIS is positivity! Looking forward to celebrating you as a champion at the end of the month. Great day today!

    @MaltedTea that was very bold of you, you have nothing to fear and are blessed to radiate such positivity in text as well as pictures.

    I got a great laugh out of the related thread! 😜 No, I won't be posting there. I'll wait for the granddad bod thread (said nobody ever) 🤣

    Back to read some more posts.

    @biketheworld :- So glad it all went smoothly.

    @MadisonMolly2017 - A caring, funny, positive partner is a godsend.

    👍🏻 Good day:- @mshawski - @DebyS137 - @calvin20874 - @znaoiec

    @TwistedSassette - Rats to accidental cola from hubs. Still you have 2 more pass days in reserve.

    @LazyBlondeChef - Great day. Glad to hear that the pain has gone.

    @Winner_in_Life - Sure isn't that what exercise calories are for 😂

    I will check back in the morning for the west coast people.

    Same...

    @stella7x7 @GrandmaJackie @biketheworld Glad you all enjoyed your special meals!

    @Mrs_Hoffer More walking in the rain with one's spouse (well kinda, the rescue was sweet)

    @bradcrew Let us know if you have questions about getting your calories in (or, conversely, logging your exercise)

    @RangerRickL Three cheers for family reunions!

    @readyornot1234 What a beautiful - and, yes, positive - perspective

    @ashleycarole86 Too few people play Frisbee anymore; glad you're among the people keeping it alive!

    @seilidhe Congrats on your bike time and congrats for your resilience!

    @jamcnewman So happy you're enjoying the UAC too, Julie! I lurv your dog!

    @idoliov Ironically, and as mentioned by @lesdarts180, not quitting often means you're winning!

    @LazyBlondeChef Glad you're on the mend!

    @TwistedSassette That sounds like a practice of self-control and discipline; very impressive!

    @WhatMeRunning There are already several grandfathers in the Dad Bod Thread...just saying lol

    @MadisonMolly2017 Your "extreme gratefulness" is extremely inspirational

    @znaoiec You really went the distance! Kudos!

    The pass day has passed @crusherbrickman and @clutterqueen Glad you're both continuing to push!

    And congrats to everyone who logged their "3 YES Day:" @SummerSkier @tdrjustus3 @TerriRichardson112 @Winner_in_Life @mshawski @DebyS137 @calvin20874

    And thanks to everyone who shared a kind word about my post in the main forums yesterday 🤗
