Treadmill: 36 mins / 2.10 mi
Full Body Warm Up: 5 min
Day 9: EPIC I - Full Body Workout with Dumbbells - No Repeat (+ cool down): 63 mins
Apple rings closed: 17/30
Passes used: 2/3 (1sep) (4sep)
Day 9 of EPIC was phenomenal. At the 80% mark I was drained but kept going. I felt so warn out at the end but at the same time high. When I was young and far more active I got that adrenaline high but in my more mature years it doesn't happen very often. Today it did. I don't think I've ever in my life looked forward to the next workout so much as with EPIC. Highly recommended if you are looking for a new workout.
I still had some things I couldn't do (mostly due to lack of dexterity) so I had to modify. But some things I struggled with two weeks ago I'm able to do now more easily. Yesterday I started looking ahead at the future days and in reading comments for day 50 some people said their knee pain disappeared by the end of 10 weeks. I would be ecstatic if that happened to me. I have noticed that my right knee isn't having much pain lately while the left one which is more problematic seems to be slightly improved so I'm hopeful.7 -

For exercise I count packing, car loading, unloading, unpacking, 6 hours driving. Sometimes 60 km/h, mostly 130-150. It is pretty stressful. I believe it is fair to count all those activities as an exercise 😉7 -

Another pass day, for 6/4. Wednesday's pass day just rolled over into Thursday, as I got home late on Wednesday and didn't plan my meals for Thursday, and then decided to eat restaurant leftovers and takeout. But I actually did make reasonable choices with those things, though I didn't track them, and I did exercise, so heading towards back on track. And I did plan for today.
I love veggies! And I love all your veggie inspiration. We have somewhat a rhythm of it with the seasons. We try to eat locally in the summer- we have a small garden and a Community Supported Agriculture Share and frequent farm stands and farmers markets. We're having the last gasp of that now and savoring it. In the winter we do more frozen fruits and veggies (much more convenient) and also tropical things (bananas, mangoes) that we try to skip in the summer when local food is abundant. My wife does most of the real cooking. In the summer she grills once a week and in the winter she roasts once a week. In each case making up a big batch of veggies that I eat on all week. My usual is one salad a day and one meal of (usually leftover from the big batch) cooked veg or soup, both along with a protein. I try to have some small amount of carby veg too, or quinoa or bread. Last winter I was also doing daily harvest frozen veggie meals (caution - if you search that, the ads will follow you forever), which I liked pretty well but got sick of by the spring.5 -

A change in routine today due our range going out. So I took an extra long morning walk assuming my afternoon could be busy. It was. While it was nice to get it all sorted out in one day (including shopping for a new range and hood), we have to wait 4 weeks until it can all be installed (part of that is due to needing a new electric receptacle installed). I was unable to do a strength workout amid all that so I am missing one of my additional goals today, but that's OK.

Pass day. Got run in and was over by 300 calories. Considering we’re traveling and landed at my in laws where there was Indian food (which is *kitten* by my house and amazing here) - and Indian food is my FAVORITE - I’m calling only being over by 300 a win 😂5

@Geneveremfp – I have a 7 year old grandson who eats cucumber like apples, his mum buys three or four at a time and still finds there are none in the fridge when she wants one!3

I buy them already prepared but when I was in the states I couldn’t find them ready-made so I boiled fresh ones with a little bit of vinegar to retain their colour and then quarter them. Roasted beets are really nice too! 😋1 -

Walking, HIIT and stretching
I typically eat a mix of roasted veggies with olive oil for dinner. And plenty of fruit during the day. Today, however, I tried a new recipe that focused on roasted root veggies - beets, carrots, parsnips, garlic and onions mixed in with olive oil and rosemary. It was delicious.3 -

LOTS of amazing veggie and freggie ideas here!!! We had a pretty nice size garden this year. Hubby does all the gardening - I can't handle the bugs. Lol. Tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, butternut squash, green peppers. We hate to see the end of garden season come. Lol.3 -

I love roasted root veggies and I am imagining I can smell them now with the rosemary! If there are leftovers, I turn them into a pureed soup. I add some evaporated milk as it makes it cream up nicely and has much less fat than cream. And the evaporated milk has the benefit of being stable for freezing or reheating.

I have always loved fruits and vegetables and generally don't have a problem getting enough. For the past few years, sheet pan meals have been my go to thereby roasting the vegetables.
I logged and exercised today but did go over on calories due to late night snacking on "calorie wise" snacks: 380 calories. Much better than my usual binges but a binge is a binge. Pleased I managed to limit the foods and stop it before it got out of control. This put me about 280 calories over for the day. Maybe not a UAC success - but a success for me.6 -
Not today. Pumpkin bars, pumpkin donuts, pumpkin cake, pumpkin pie, pumpkin chili. Pumpkin ice cream. A little of each at the pumpkin festival please. :-) all weekend.2
