March 5
✅✅✅
Today's exercise was a stretch routine.
I actually considered a home treadmill desk setup last year. Who knows, maybe this year I could actually make it happen? I would have to get a treadmill first though.5 -

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes a morning walk / jog for an hour
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
I find it fascinating now that I have an Apple Watch that of the three rings activity app - the one I fail to complete most often is the stand ring. With the UAC activity basis getting the movement and activity rings are easy. But standing up once an hour is a challenge! And it’s so basic I’ve really tried to focus more on that which does put into perspective just how little we office folks move all day!

Here are my NEAT suggestions:
-Walk/pace while watching TV
-When I think "next time I go upstairs I should grab this item" then I just go then
-Not carrying my laundry basket to the laundry room so I have to walk multiple times from the dryer to the laundry basket
-When I have work meetings virtually and I'm off camera, get up and pace in my office
-Stretching while watching TV4 -
Inspiring post today @lesdarts180, ty! I really should move more. Tried it out today while doing housework: made a few extra trips carrying laundry from the top floor to the basement. I'll try it out this week too.
Yes x 3 today. I was tempted to give in to eating too large of a supper after yesterday's binge but I stopped even though I didn't feel full. I also didn't order the cheesecake slice when sorely tempted. That's the problem with a bad day; it's so easy to have another one, and then another one, and then one more... Happy I fought through it and got back on track right away.

Exercising? No, I think I missed the 20 minute mark by a bit.
Tracking? Nope, didn't do this either.
Calories? That would be another no.3 -

Re NEAT; I am really bad at moving while in the house, but since I got rid of my car three years ago I automatically do quite a bit of walking when going shopping, getting to the train station etc. To be fair, the town I live in now is tiny and nothing really takes more than 10 minutes to get to, but still! Yesterday I went to see friends and walking back to the station in the evening it was raining and cold, and I said something about sometimes missing my car - but at the end of the days it's just water, we had raincoats. It was fine.
@ideas2 - that reminds me of a lecture I went to a few years ago that talked about the danger of prolonged sitting. After listening to that I made a point of getting up, stretching and doing some balancing exercises (eg standing on one leg for a count of 30) every hour while working, but that was a while back and I'd forgotten - thanks for reminding me!3 -
@lesdarts180 Thank you for the opener. Your post inspired me to be ok with using time cleaning and cooking for my family to be used as the 20 minutes UAC requirement.I wanted to go for a walk, but my husband was sleep and I didn’t want the children to be unsupervised. I began to work on my low energy:low space workout ideas, but by the time I was done It was really late and dinner needed to get started!
So I used a GymBoss Timer App and every minute an alarm would sound. I would do things like squat or do reverse lunges in place while drying dishes, do double time runs in place and or move more/exaggerate the movements while doing what I needed to do. Watched my heart rate to make sure I was in fat burning zones. I don’t plan to make a habit of it, but it felt good to intentionally move while getting what I needed done!

It’s always a joy to see so many posting consistently, and that so many of us are being mindful of finding ways to move more.

Over Pass days already in my learning month
Exercise: 15 minutes stretching ONLY, which I had said would be a pass
Tracking: Planned the day, had to revise quite bit, but tracked EVERYthing I ate
Calories: 384 over
Weight: Down 0.2
This wasn't nibbles, it was my son having a playdate and so being on a different schedule and not really being in charge of my food because they fed us. I was not super hungry at the playdate because I had a snack on the way and I ate moderately. But then I decided to have a larger afternoon snack and the dinner I had planned and I was actually uncomfortably full with that dinner but didn't want to waste it... I should have made a different dinner plan once I realized I wasn't that hungry.2 -

I think I missed posting yesterday the week has been a blur. Life is settling in since the loss of our oldest dog. The other two seem to be adjusting lots of extra love and attention.
@lesdarts180 i like the opener and no I can’t do those nifty things either. I do walk while on the phone as I still work most of my week from home, I will often take a walk around the outside of our office building throughout the day if I need a break. My advantage at home is the bathroom is upstairs so I get my steps that way. I do prefer a true workout but there are times you take what you can get. I to park as far away from a store as possible.
I did some flexibility walking and cardio today tracked and logged.4
