    @pkg1998 I definitely use my earned exercise calories, whether they are intentional or not!

    I think that you are doing a admirable job trying to track while traveling... I get lazy and don't usually. I do try to head for the veggies and fruits, and try to stay away from the fried foods, and desserts. I might have a bite here and there...

    @pkg1998 hi there how are you doing today. While my activity is counted towards my daily calorie count. I still stay under my 2,000 calories food intake and just use my active as a bonus. I hope this helps and good luck in your weight lose journey.

    Track - yes
    Calories - slightly above goal without exercise calories (I was riding in a car most of the day so I can’t count that as exercise even though Fitbit gives me steps :D ) Thanks for the input on my last question.
    Exercise - none
    Comments - no lunch yesterday because we didn’t stop on the way home which caused me to overeat at dinner since I was tired from the trip. Glad to be back home and get back to a normal routine.

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Wayyyyy Under
    Exercise: 156 Mins Aerobic
    Goals/Day/Comments: Still Keeping a low carb routine. I haven't had any weight loss for a few weeks so I had 1 gigantic meal for lunch which consisted of 2 protein bars, 1 cup grapes, 2 wheat rice cake and a beef jerky stick which totaled 879 calories and I worked out for 156 minutes. I'm hoping this will give me a kick start, oh well if not, I'll still hang in there.💕

    Goals/Day/Comments: I had a fun day today taking several hikes on the North Peninsula coast above San Francisco Bay. I first hiked north and back from Muir Beach Overlook to Slide Ranch (three miles round trip), then I hiked south from Muir Beach to Pirates Cove and back (four miles round trip with 1,074 feet ascent/descent -- I was hoping to find a treasure chest but all I found was an old tire). The last 350 feet down to the cove was more bouldering and scrambling than hiking; it took me ~10 minutes to climb back up.

    Wow! 30 HOURS! Very impressive and I hope it helps you achieve your goals.

    My husband and I are watching the series “Alone” (reality show about contestants left to survive on their own in the wilderness). We joke that I wouldn’t make it past lunch. :D

    Comments - I have every other Friday off and my husband went fishing yesterday so I had plenty of time to think about how to achieve my goals and what’s been holding me back because I’ve made no progress all summer. Bottom line is I’m lazy and almost nobody in my life cares how much I weigh. Every one (except me) loves me for who I am despite the extra weight. Yesterday got me really thinking though. You see my dad (now 86 years old) almost died in May. He’s had a series of health problems for several years and one finally got to the point where he couldn’t eat without choking. He was in the hospital and they wanted to put in a feeding tube to give him nourishment. He said no that he wanted to go home and if he died he was okay because he was ready. My siblings and I all drove home to see him (he lives in Missouri) to prepare for the worst. He’s always been the one person in my life that wanted me to get healthy. I, regrettably now, told him if he lived I would lose weight. Well he kept his end of the deal and I didn’t. I’m going back in 2 weeks to see him and I’ll be a big disappointment, almost to the point that I thought of canceling my trip but I can’t because he’s still alive but we don’t know for how long.

    Bottom line is I need to do this for my dad because doing it for myself just doesn’t seem to be the reason that’s going to work for me. Sorry for the drawn out comments today, but thanks for “listening”. I felt like it needed to be said and this seemed like a great place to put it.


    @frankwbrown - sounds like a wonderful day of hiking. It’s just too warm here in SWLA (Louisiana that is) for too much hiking yet and the love bugs are RIDICULOUS!

    @pauletzl - Hope you have a wonderful weekend as well.

    Rough, emotional week for me. My friend's memorial was yesterday, she passed away 2 months ago from the cancer that brutally destroyed her. Besides her 3 wonderful Sons, her passing has left such an emptiness in many of us. 100+ people were there to share their feelings, memories and love for Lori. She was a remarkable, selfless, loving woman, and friend to all she met. She made everyone feel like family and was never too shy to tell you what you needed to hear, whether or not you wanted to hear it! I miss her like the Sister I never had. I will just let the tears flow and keep her in my heart for the rest of my years. <3
