Honesty is never TMI in my opinion, Chris @WhatMeRunning ... appreciate your openness. Your willingness to self-examine and to share those thoughts with us is a great benefit.
@Bill70sStrong amazing!! My plan is to increase by 20 KM each event until I hit the full distance on my 4th time. You inspire me!4 -

Exercise? Yes
Tracking? Weeeelllll.... about 98% of what I ate
Calories? No, because that 2% was Girl Scout Cookies...SpoilerI "ran" today, for the first time in a while. I spotted these two natives lazing in the wash.
They had zero f***s to give about anybody on the paths, but... like every dog I've ever had, they seemed to sense as soon as I turned on the camera app and refused to look my direction. When I passed closer to them, after turning off the camera, they both looked up at me like "Stupid human..."

Another pass day. I just couldn't be bothered. When I planned my day the night before I realized that we had an outdoor birthday party for 4 year olds to go to - you all know that my main trigger for overeating is standing around in the cold. So how about standing around in the cold for an hour next to a hot chocolate bar and a firepit with s'mores? It did not go well for my eating plan. And then we had takeout sushi for dinner which I think I did actually moderate very well. I made myself a plate of veggies to go with and had a moderate amount of sashimi and the correct <1/2 cup of rice. But I didn't feel like tracking it and I didn't.
I think I am now getting the second wave of autoimmune activation from the booster shot and I am very tired and feeling overwhelmed by how tired I am. But I am up doing my usual morning routine anyway so that is good.
@calvin20874 congratulations!
@SummerSkier good question
I don't normally get SAD, but the last 2 years winter has been a rough time. COVID winter with kids is rough. This winter I am struggling extra because I had mentally prepared that we would feel comfortable doing things inside, with vaccinated kids. But with omicron, we are not. My 9 year old is up for doing whatever outside, but my 5 year old just whines non-stop, which makes it get really old really fast.
What I normally do that helps in the winter:
- Take vitamin D (I actually do that all year long but especially important in the winter)
- Just get outside. I usually love hiking in the woods with yak trax and cross country skiing and I was beginning to learn to downhill ski.
Last year I injured myself cross country skiing and I am taking this year off all things with a strong all possibility, so that adds to the limited options.
What I am going this year:
- Still getting outside, but mostly 30 minute walks around the neighborhood
- Daydreaming/planning summer vacations.
- Letting the kids do a lot of screen time

@Arc2Arc - that view is amazing. I have an itch to ski again, something I used to do regularly but haven’t in years.
@WhatMeRunning - good for you for recognizing you need a little help and not being afraid to reach out for it. You are strong, insightful, and healthy, with stressful issues that would make anyone else crumble.4 -

Yes we have had a lot of three cat nights (trying to talk beau into number 4) the one below sleeps between us just like this with his head on a pillow. His name is Moose so it’s funny when we’re talking about sleeping with a Moose we get a lot of funny looks.

Calories ❌
Exercise ❌
Daughter came down for a surprise visit and we had delicious takeout, pulled some cookies I had made for her and James up from the freezer (to test before she took them back home — she loves them; apparently so did I), and had a board games night with snacks. None was planned but all was enjoyed. It did my heart so good to see her and have a visit. ♥️
