Exercise ✅ [20 min walk]

@WhatMeRunning - toe socks……give me the heebie jeebies, not sure why. Funny story, when my girls were young they desperately wanted toe socks because, well, they were cute. I refused to buy them because I thought they were creepy. However, Santa put a pair in each of their stockings one year and I kid you not, they were at the age to start doubting Santa but they kept saying “there must be a Santa because mom would never have bought toe socks.” Makes me laugh every time.

Exercise: no
Tracked: yes
Under: no
Pass days: 2/3
Got a call in the morning from a daughter needing my help. Her husbands family is in crisis mode since his dad died from Covid last fall and his mom is having mental health issues. So I spent the day at their home with my grandkids so they could attend to things, didn’t get home until 8:30 pm. I didn’t go as far over on my calories as I thought I did, but there was no formal exercise. That’s ok, I’m glad I was available to help.12 -
Yes, yes and yes
7 mile training walk and a lot of extra calories burned working on reorganizing the house
@biketheworld Sorry to hear about your son in law's family. Sending positive thoughts.4 -
@biketheworld good job being a heroic grandparent. My mom was just doing the same for my sister, and I can see how it really messes up her life, but is so needed. As the kid/parent in the middle, it is life changing to know such support is a phone call away.
Sept 11
Tracked - yes - planned and stuck to the plan for the most part, tracked when I deviated
Within Calories - yes
Exercise - 20 minutes stretching, 20 minutes walking - really had to squeak in that walking while watching kids who were not walking (lots of big circles around my house)
I think I have done fairly well with self talk throughout my life. I have always been pretty strict with myself - holding myself to a high standard of productivity/behavior but able to maintain it. In recent years I have had more trouble as due to the stress of parenting during COVID times and due to an autoimmune disease, I am often not able to meet my standards - learning to be nice to myself when I can't do a thing is a new journey. I don't think it's been an issue so much for weight loss, though.4 -
WhatMeRunning wrote: »@bradkcrew there is nothing wrong with being a fair weather runner. If you're training regularly though then you will eventually need a plan because eventually there will be extended periods of unfavorable weather in some form. Never run during an electrical storm, best advice is if there's lightning stay inside and run later or not at all (or find an indoor option). Use your best judgment otherwise, and ensure you have the right gear to run in inclement weather. Never wear cotton anything. A good pair of moisture wicking socks can help avoid blisters (I swear by Injinji toe socks, so hard to get blisters with those as not even the toes can rub together). Also ensure your thighs are protected from rubbing against each other using whatever means you find best to avoid a rash. Tight fitting clothes are best for wet running to avoid wet fabric repeatedly rubbing against skin. A running hat with a visor can be nice to keep rain off your face.
What I am hearing is stop with the weather excuse and get out there? LOL. Thanks.2 -

Grandson’s birthday. Great day. Pass day.
Topic - everyone experiences great joys and tremendous tragedies throughout life. I like life best when it’s more neutral and when people ask what’s new, I can reply - nothing at all. It’s in this zone that I feel I have control (yeah, I have control issues) and actually can chose to be happy and content. I am trying to learn that I can work on controlling my reactions when life is at the extremes. Life doesn’t stay in the neutral zone for long though and sometimes just kicks us so hard and we can’t breathe. Then all we can do is try to remember to breathe. I am learning to try to treat myself with kindness and understanding during the extremes. I am learning to fully enjoy and experience and be present during the neutral parts.

@readyornot1234 I love your post, especially about managing reactions at the extreme ends of life.
For me, I'm working on controlling my reactions over the petty things in life. I realize I've become much more sensitive, reactive over the last year. I think it's the loss of a lot of social support during COVID. When someone says something "off" to me, I assume they don't like me, or are disrespecting me. And I want to address it.
So, I talk to myself now, and say, "don't react." You don't need to set anything straight. "Sleep on it, let it go, don't try to fix it." Most the time, I later realize it's me being sensitive and everything is fine. And I'm so grateful I kept my mouth shut.
Yes x 3 today. Mostly a rest day, with a 20 minute dog walk.5 -

I was out for the day (going to the theatre in Bath) so I got lots of walking but both lunch and dinner were estimated. So, I don’t really know whether I went over my calories.
But the weather was good, the city was lively (picking up post Covid) and the play was excellent, so it was a good day.On a more personal note, it has been a horrible couple of days. The 9/11 remembrance articles have been full of children losing fathers, young widows, mothers losing sons. Obviously very different circumstances but listening to other people’s pain has been heartbreaking. Also, on this weekend last year we had our last family holiday together (celebrating my 70th birthday). We had a great time in spite of Chris being sick and we didn’t know then it was to be our last time all together.
My heart goes out to you @lesdarts180 ❤️ Yesterday’s events were triggering for many and your grief is still so new. Be kind to yourself. 🥰1 -

Great topic; it's something I work on constantly.
As for the diet plan:
Every day this week, I woke up and said some positive affirmations. One of them was"Today I will stay within my calorie budget." Monday to Friday was a bust but today I finally made it. And only because I skipped breakfast and ran errands for 4 hours. But I'll take it!
Yes x 3 today.3 -
