Does anyone actually have active "friends" that you interact with in the news feed or do you just use the community board for support?

Morning yoga done! Prepping snacks after I get a 2 mile walk in. Chicken salad and some fruits and veggies.

Day 700 something of ridiculous excuses! Not going to lie Ive been completely off my game and I do have a couple justifiable reasons for falling off track. However I keep trying to restart and just haven't gotten there. So today I'm taking advantage of this group and another one for some motivation to get back again. Went…

I would probably just focus on an allotted time of exercise and not so much calories burned. I focus on a 30min morning workouts and 30+ minutes walking afternoon/evening. I have a 1800cal diet plan that basically says eat this much fruits, veg, dairy etc a day and you have your calories. I'd be glad to share it with you,…

13907 steps yesterday!

Hickchick it's an 06. No aux port. I listen on my phone as long as I get a louder reader. Some of the soft spoken ones is hard to hear with the window down.

AOTD- Bluetooth speaker for my Jeep. I like to listen to books while I drive and some of the readers aren't loud enough for when I'm working. The mailboxes were full of cookies yesterday. Feeling bloated this morning already. Today I will be more mindful of the amount I taste. CGM went off 3 times last night. 2 juice boxes…

Brenner I use element yoga for beginners and the same for Pilates. I had a kettlebell workout the was on spark people but it's since been taken down. So I downloaded a interval timer and do the same moves without it. I think it was Paul Katima? He was easy to follow. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for the insight. I didn't understand the point. I don't have mine linked because it seemed with map my walk and that together something was off. And after checking a couple logs I was well confused with it.

Good morning! Got my yoga on this morning. Almost talked myself out of it. Then I remembered I still had to shut off the alarm in my kitchen. So yoga it is I said instead. Tomorrow I'll hit the kettlebell. I need to get to work early tomorrow so I won't have time for a Pilates workout. Down 3lbs since the first of December!

Runa- you can turn the prediabetes around! Stay focused it is worth the fight. My mother was full T2D. Trust me make the small changes. Walk for 10 minutes every hour if you can. That tiny change will make a huge difference.

Sorry I've been busy so I haven't been able to check in this week. I've been checking out some of mfp friends logs just now. I noticed a few that had calorie adjusted for Fitbit activity. Am I the only one that doesn't. I kinda feel like my activity is already noted in the original assessment of my activity level to…

What I like to do when I need to be more active is chart my workouts on a calendar. It's right next to my scale. I mark if I get a walk in or weights, yoga, Pilates. Then the next month I work to beat the last months activity.

AOTD-probably fish/Red Lobster or St Louis Bread Company.

Day 5 no sweets! My daughter even tried to give me a Hershey's kiss and I told her she needed to save it for Christmas. I'm not going to turn back now. Tiny nsv but it's a step!

@Hungry4Hawaii just take it one day at a time. As long as you are logging the good and the bad you are accountable. You can do this.

Day 4 no sweets! I've also got all my food logged in. Need to get some more steps in and possibly more sleep tonight. My daughter was up Monday night and last night waking me up. And Tuesday night my son's alarm went off twice. Starting to get me down 😴. Also down the 4lbs I gained over Thanksgiving!

I'm a steady 2 eggs scrambled 2 toast 8 oz 1% milk 8oz ok every morning but Sunday. Seems boring but it gets me from 6:30 to at least 11 without the need for a snack. Watch the low bs it can make you eat the whole wagon when you fall off.

HI in February! The surf will be great still. Plus you will be able to find plenty of good sized shells. Nice thing about HI is everything goes. Last time I was there a lady probably 60 was wear a very shear swimsuit 🤪. You'll have a great time!

Day 3 no sweets! Hit my step goal for active May try to get my power goal. Didn't get to walk outside was dark when I finally made it home.

ATOD- I log my food after I consume it. I make up a menu for my suppers at the beginning of the month so know what I'm having then. And I generally eat the same breakfast 6 days a week. My problem is the time between breakfast and supper. So I've cut out sweets and started using popcorn for my snacks. also trying to be a…

Aotd- I'm going to say cauliflower and ranch. I like hummus also but Walmart here decided to not carry my kind.

Well it's actually 14° I'm sure there's some kind of a -20° wind chill so it's probably close to Siberia right?!?

Okay that may have been an exaggeration 😜

Day 2 of cutting out sweets. Day 2 of honestly logging in all my food. Day 2 of being realistic about getting in my steps. Currently walking the hallway because it's Siberia here. Looking for more active friends on here. It appears after going through my current list I have 2 people that are doing more than just checking…

Invest in a headlamp. Also there is some great reflective gear out there to help with safety. I have a light weight jacket with fully reflective sleeves. Have also seen some nice reflective gloves in one of the catalogs either title nine or athleta. I get the humidity here also. Sometimes I feel like I over kill on having…

Great Monday morning! Not sure what happened to the weekend,but here we are. Had the JDRF walk Saturday at the crack of dawn or what seemed like it to me. Enjoyed some Kilwins ice cream afterwards. Spent Sunday doing laundry and dishes. Made and canned some salsa also. Up bright and early today. Just finished kettlebell.…

Finally got up and did yoga this morning! 3miles successfully logged! Ready to sit back and watch TV and maybe relax.....yeah right I'm a Mom there's no way I'll get to relax.

Totally peeved! Walked 10 minutes at lunch then came home and walked another 50ish minutes. Found out about an hour or so before I go to bed that my battery died at like 8 a.m.. 8000 steps short of my stepbet goal and yesterday was my rest day for the week. Guess what I'm doing right now trying to get the last of my steps…
