Family all came over to the AirBnB to look through old family photographs and to divvy them up. Didn't make a ton of progress, but it was fun for everyone to see the old pictures of relatives (and quite a few unknown people). Luckily my MIL has a wonderful memory for faces and names.
Although my daughters and I made dinner for everyone, the calories consumed were just too much. I can't wait to get back home to my scales.4 -

@biketheworld re your "congratulations on the first place finish. That is AMAZING and makes you speedy so don’t minimize it by saying the speedy women weren’t there, I would do/say the same thing, but when I hear you say it, I cringe because you ROCKED that race and are an inspiration to others, including me!"
Awww, thank you that is so nice of you to say that. Honestly I wasn't trying to minimize my victory, just being realistic, LOL. (I checked the 10K results, there were 4 women with better paces than me so if they would have done the 5k instead they WOULD have beaten me.) And looking at the race results for 2019 for my current age group, I would have been in 5th place.
The top 5k times for F 60-64 in 2019 were:
25:16
27:00
27:11
28:22
31:28
There really are some speedy older women runners out there, and they are an inspiration to me! I guess I consider myself "semi-speedy" LOL and am thankful that I am able to run at my age and enjoy it. I've slowed down since I first started running races at the age of 47 (5K PR 26:08) mostly because I haven't been putting in the effort to train. I really don't like that feeling of discomfort doing speedwork. But actually, I would like to start putting in 'some' effort again to chip away at my 5k time to get back under 30 minutes, even if just to 29:59. In my 50s my 5K times were usually 27 minutes to 28 something. Now in my 60s (I'm 61) I'd be tickled pink to be even 1 second under 30 minutes!
I imagine I should have put this in Spoiler but I don't exactly know how to do that. But I figure people can just skip over this post if they're not interested, which is probably most people!

Congrats @slimtastesbetter on the AG 1st WOW!!! You are amazing! Way to go!4

To be fair though, any one looking for best pace would sign up for the 5k, and that best 5k pace was YOU!slimtastesbetter wrote: »...I checked the 10K results, there were 4 women with better paces than me so if they would have done the 5k instead they WOULD have beaten me...5 -

Well DONE!!! (I TOTALLY understand how a truly good sugar cookie recipe can do that. I have one of the BEST gathering dust on my shelf 'cause it is TOOOOOOOOO good! (and even in my childhood I could tell the difference between (a) that one
(b) other home-baked ones (that were decent-but-not-good-enough) 
and (c) commercial slice&bake sugar cookie dough 
or commercial boxed version ) 3 -

OK, here's a question before I actually post for the day ..... I am trying to get a handle on the BMR / TDEE thing (and breaking the MFP-thinking thing of many many many years' standing)
According to The Formula provided in the Topic opener of "How did you pick your Daily calorie goal number", the maintenance calorie level for my target top-of-range (5 or 6 pounds away) is ~1388 (assuming sedentary lifestyle and before intentional activity / exercise).
I set my MFP daily range to 1250 (being now stalled out at plus-or-minus 143 while set to 1300 - finding it hard to eat as much as that lately, and started to be not as active as I was through Nov, first week of dec)
Today I ate 1295 cals, and with fitbit activity credits for just-over 6050 steps, I am 13 cals in he red. IF I also log my morning session of 51 mins / 365 cals burned on my exercise bike this morning, MFP "Yells at me" for not even breaking 1000 cals net. (which makes me nervous)
Do I put the biking back in the exercise log and ignore the level of deficit? Make a note in the exercise log so that I know I am not REALLY "over by 13 even though the Food Diary says I am" ? Do enough extra steps so that the fitbit activity credits put me back in the green? (given that I am only 13 cals shy that would be do-able)1 -

@BMcC9
I don't know the answer to your question, but I would put it in What's on Your Mind, so more people see it and answer. I think it's a good question for discussion.0
