It was so hot today and the course is water logged meaning no carts, no ball roll, lots of sinking of clubs when trying to hit. I’m glad to not have pics - there is no documented evidence of how terribly I played. It was a nice walk though. Tuesday, August 24 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, golf 9 holes…

Monday, August 23 Tracking: Yes Calories: under maintenance enough Exercise: Yes, walk 20 min Pass days to date - 6

@Chinkiri - that sounds wonderful. Have a fantastic time!

@Mrs_Hoffer - I like your new profile pic. You look so happy. Sunday, August 22 Pass. Needed another day. Up and active today but going to take it slow. In the past I would have been upset by another pass day but my calories consumed are pretty much in maintenance and maybe about 100 over a few times so I’m okay with that.…

Friday, August 20 Yes to all 3 Saturday, August 21 Tracking: No Calories: ? Exercise: No Pass days to date - 5 Third shot on Friday night - I get infusions every 4 weeks and research showing decreased protection. Didn’t feel that great Saturday. Watched movies all day. Much better today (Sunday) - I am going to try some…

@mshawski - I hope your son feels better soon. My thoughts are with you. @_JeffreyD_ - Hang in there - it’s gets easier/natural as the habits form. @bradkcrew - Congrats on your progress and for signing up. It’s so cool your son is going to do it with you. Way to role model! Thursday, August 19 Tracking: Yes Calories:…

I just pop/wake up around 5:30-6:00am whether I want to or not. I tried really hard to start my mornings with a walk around 8 or 9:00 am but I was miserable. I am not a morning person. I like to be left alone and drink my coffee and do about 2-3 hours of work. Then I work out. Then finish up work. @_JeffreyD_ - Happy…

What has changed? I no longer stress about my weight, what I’m eating, how my clothes fit, how I want to lose x pounds before the summer/a wedding/a party, dieting, etc. I knew I focused on these things throughout life but didn’t know just how much. I feel free now. I know what I have to do and just do it. It is like…

@seilidhe - I have heard of those rules. Things need to change. Patio furniture is great but encourages sitting. It’s like promoting anti-activity. I like the pulley system because you can pull it up and push it over a dresser or something.

@Chinkiri - I hope you’re feeling better. You have been missed. Enjoy your time with your mom. @seilidhe - you may try a simple pulley system and then it can go a little higher up the wall. I don’t think they are very expensive. I’m tired of moving my bike so I’m going to look into one. YouTube has great videos on it. My…

@biketheworld - congratulations on the success of your event and much needed sleep! NSV - when I am over on calories, I no longer just jump off the ship and eat all the things. When I am over now, it isn’t by much. Sunday, August 15 Tracking: Yes Calories: over, but not by too much. Under with exercise calories but only by…

@bradkcrew - that’s awesome! CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉🎈 @LazyBlondeChef - great job and it sounds like like you had a wonderful time away. @seilidhe - your post made me smile - your daughter sounds amazing. I hope your new shoes and all of life bring you continued joy. Saturday, August 14 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise:…

Happy Birthday @RangerRickL ! Friday, August 13 Tracking: Yes Calories: under but had to use exercise calories - flew home last night - airports are still be my biggest challenge Exercise: Yes, walk to closer park with 3 year old and back - 35 min, dance in kitchen to Kitty Fairy (her name for Katy Perry) and play chase 30…

Goals - for me, there is no end. As I get healthier and stronger, I want to do all the things. As I get older, my goals are adapting all those things to where I am in life. I’m liking this retirement thing. I have a few regrets that I waited this long and didn’t retire in my 20s 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thursday, August 12 Tracking: Yes…

I’m with you @clutterqueen, how can a serving of ice cream be only 1/2 a cup? Why are bowls so big then? Wednesday, August 11 Tracking: Yes Calories: Under Exercise: Yes - walked with a 3 year old 25 min to the park, played at the park 45 min, carry the 3 year old home from the park 25 min. But this is part of why I want…

It’s hard to not try to do all the things all at once. But when I tried in the past, I crashed. For the last few years I have really been trying to keep it in check. This seems to be working much better…both more manageable and more pleasant. I try different things and find what works. I am living this way forever now and…

@Mrs_Hoffer - congrats on getting all those steps in over the weekend!! Monday, August 9 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, playing soccer, airplane, running, chasing, and general mayhem with a 6 and 3 year old all day, plus house cleaning - my steps are amazing and I am exhausted. Pass days to date - 2

@RangerRickL - has a great example of someone tracking with jars of marbles. I think it’s @SummerSkier. @MadisonMolly2017 or @Mrs_Hoffer ?

Vacations - my husband and I share desserts. If the meals are big we will split one. I try to limit cocktails. We tend to go on active vacations - hiking etc so it usually works out. There are really cool state parks everywhere. Neither one of us likes to sit by a pool or at the beach. Sunday, August 8 Tracking: Yes…

Another great starting post. Positivity. I have always looked for the pitfalls in life. I think that’s what made me good at my job - advising people of all the terrible things that could happen in every scenario imaginable and how best to protect against as many as possible. It has taken me a long time to realize that I…

@TwistedSassette - Happy Birthday 🎁! I’m on team @_JeffreyD_ - nope, not even going to think about it. Summer is here to stay. Friday, August 6 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, full body warm up 10 minutes, spin 45 min, cool down ride, post ride stretch Pass days to date - 2

Wednesday, August 4 Tracking: Yes - take out, so did the best I could Calories: Over - but I’m happy that it wasn’t by that much because I used to be way over with take out. I’ve noticed over the last few months that I’m becoming much more aware of food choices and portion sizes with restaurants/take out. It’s becoming…

Tuesday, August 3 Tracking: Yes Calories: over - I think I overestimated my lunch but the snacks were my downfall - I am only about 6 over but I had to use all my exercise to get there and it was a very active day - I can do better. No more mindless snacking. Exercise: Yes, walk 3 miles, cycle 45 min, cool down ride 15…

@mshawski - 6 for a bug? Your post and all the responses made me laugh. I guess every taste, bite, lick and inhale. Monday, August 2 Tracking: Yes Calories: under - better choices Exercise: Yes, warm up stretch 10 min, indoor cycle 105 min, cool down ride 10 min, stretch 10 min Pass days to date - 0/3

Happy Birthday @brisingr86

Ohhh another great starting post! My husband spent most of his childhood in the mountains or on the ocean. He does not like being indoors. He has a business that requires all outdoor work. At 6 he had a little boat with a little motor and would disappear. Same in the mountains, tracking etc. As a parent, this baffles and…

Thank you @biketheworld and everyone else - I am enjoying the thought provoking morning posts. I have started to log in during my morning coffee and then think about the post at various times of the day. @snowshoe072 - happy birthday 🎉🎈🎂!!! @mshawski - you look fabulous and you do have fantastic eyes!
