✔︎ 20+ mins exercise (1hr6min walk)
✔︎ Within calorie budget (well under... had plans with friends and ended up not using all my pre-logged calories because I listened to hunger/fullness cues and made mindful decisions! Huge NSV for me to be mindful rather than just run on auto-pilot while out at a restaurant with friends.)
✔︎ Log everything

Very inspired by you @TerriRichardson112 💗
Regarding today's topic: When COVID happened, I started reevaluating my priorities. I made some proactive changes with my workload and have chosen to do more of what brings me joy and less of what creates anxiety and stress. I also found a job helping people in a setting I love and I'm starting to envision a future where I can knit together my passions and a new career path. Working diligently on my mindset around weight loss and my health & wellness in general has also helped me to transform how I think about other aspects of my life (work, relationships, how I choose to spend my most precious resource: time). Thanks for the great topic @Arc2Arc !6 -

Thanks for the opener @Arc2Arc
As I have lost weight it has reminded me that the possibilities truly are endless. I had sort of boxed myself into a corner of shame and doubt as the weight crept on and I often felt I couldn't do things.
I am still trying to get my mind to catch up to my body and to strive for bigger things. It's a work in progress.6 -

Exercise today was the treadmill. 3 miles alternating walking and jogging every quarter mile.

Exhausted today and ended up having to take a nap before dinner. Really early morning tomorrow. Just finished on the treadmill. Will hit a hot shower and head to bed.
Great topic @Arc2Arc — Thanks Lorenzo! I dream about walking some form of multi-week long walk. Preferably somewhere with beautiful geography! I have been doing some YouTube treadmill walking journeys and it has me dreaming. Another is to walk a half marathon one day. It is hard to tell what my true distance and speed are when I am only walking on the treadmill. I know I cover greater distance and with greater speed when I am walking outdoors in warmer weather. But for now, I walk however I can.
Loved your response post today @TerriRichardson112 Thanks for sharing with us. I swear I wouldn’t recognize you from the before picture to now.
I hope you feel better in the morning @loopydo2017 after a good sleep.

Pass day due to not being able to exercise today and skipped logging since we got Thai take out and I had an assortment that is difficult to estimate. As usual we got too much food so will have leftovers tomorrow.5

For the most part, I'm a worrier, even as a kid. With the weight loss and fitness level, I'm starting to have more confidence that I can do things and not hold others back. I was excited the other day when my younger daughter called and said she wanted to take me backpacking for Mother's day. In the past, I would have poo-pooed the idea and preferred to stay home. So while the worrier in me still won't let go of some things (no roller coasters for me), I'm increasingly feeling confident about myself across a number of areas.5 -

My life is feeling pretty hemmed in right now by parenting (in a pandemic) and working and I guess to some extent dealing with my autoimmune situation. What I most want to do is get my house in order - we moved just a few months before the pandemic and never had time for that. It doesn't seem to be on the horizon anytime soon. What I am trying to do is make my time watching kids more fun - trying to rejoin/re-form community and get outside and have fun - which is hard in a pandemic winter but happening to some extent. As covid rates are going down around here and my kids are now vaccinated (fully vaccinated just as the omicron surge began) I am looking forward to feeling comfortable with more options for that kind of fun.
I also think I want a different job, and am waiting on one to open up, though whether I want it once I see it - whether it seems to make life more do-able or harder - we'll see.4 -

Exercise-no

I love the conversations in this group. I hope to participate more. Right now, I’m mainly trying to just track & post every day. And to add in regular exercise.
I’m a worrier, have to work now altho I didn’t while I had kids, I used to love exercise & really miss it. Covid has been tough & altho most people feel it’s pretty much over, I still have to be very careful as I can’t stand the thought of getting it & spreading it to a group care home where my mom is. So a little longer for me, but in the process I’m losing “me”. I love exercise but now it’s much harder to do it as I’ve gotten out of condition & aged since I started working full time 6 years ago. I dream of playing racquetball again competitively. Tournaments etc. horseback riding, having more fun. Step aerobics. Throwing a football around, etc. Being able to do more. Be back in regular size clothes. Being together with friends again after Covid. Especially dream of being with my daughter & granddaughter again.5 -

I really want to travel more again – I have travelled to lots of different places and spent meaningful time in some. Now that I’m retired I should have time to do more, but my partner isn’t at all adventurous, so I need to plan something just for me. I have come through the pandemic unhurt (so far!). I need to live again.
@enlightenme3, backpacking with your daughter is brilliant! I went on three backpacking trips with my daughter after she finished at Uni. She went to Australia on a gap year on a round the world ticket and I joined her for two weeks in Thailand, then a few months later 3 weeks in Australia, and two weeks in Sri Lanka when she was on her way home. I was in my early 50s and enjoyed all of it so much!6 -
