yes x 3 Exercise, kinda fun. The road. Climbing for 2300. Ran my heart tighter than usual. Probably tighter than I should be running it. I think I might have been on track to a PR but I stopped and yakked to a trail runner. I think I talked to that guy for like 14 minutes. If I deduct that from my time at my 2000 check…

track, budget ... Here is a wild card. I look at the nutrition label on my coffee creamer for the first time just the other day. 35 cals per tbsp. Whoa! that adds up to a coke before my morning is out. So yeah, all of my previous tracking is invalid. True or false? Exercise Fun? Yard work. Hoeing up dead sod. That can…

On track under budget getting ready to chug my fiber and go to bed. Exercise yes, had fun. Went up "the road." Had it mostly to myself. Saw a bear. I love when that happens. Scampered off before I could get into my pocket for camera/phone. Was out for 2h 30m but only got like 11.25 miles so that tells you something about…

Hi I am an old guy kind of. 64. I am in maintenance mode. I been oscillating up and down about 5 lb or so for maybe 6 months or so. Maintenance mode isn't real meticulous but when I am up 5 I get meticulous. I fizzled at the end of last month. Didn't do deliberate exercise after my vacation. Last week of the month I was…

Ugh, I am still basking in the memories of my weird trip to the Mountain. I gotta get off the couch instead. I am down a few pounds but that is because my exercise binge ran way out in front of the cals I ate. So sometimes I can carry exercise forward for a day or so. I am past that now though. Tracked calories and…

Non scale victory, ok, I think I can come up with one. I don't know how to express how much this satisfies my ego. I climb a mountain on my heavy mountain bike up a narrow blacktop road. People in cars and jeeps pass me going to the top. They are generally going to the parking lot that is maybe a couple of hundred feet…

Heh! I been incommunicado for about a week or so. No internet. No cell or data. Heh, no electricity. So here I sit wondering what to say about my tracking or the legitimacy of my tracking. Tracking and budget Well I started tracking in the grocery store while assembling a food box. My wife and I agreed that we would only…

Feeling kind of lethargic or slouchy because I took an easy day today and yesterday. Heh! But I get to looking at my strava page and it is showing that I climbed 12,700 so far this month. So on the 13th I almost got 13 thousand. That ain't totally slouchy. Tomorrow I am going to Mt Evans. Yay! I got 8 days there. I will…

I think about you sporadically throughout the day. Usually when I am looking at something I wish I could bluetooth from my eyes and brain to yours.

yes x 3 exercise, nearly 4 hours. Climbing for like 2600 feet. Kind of a lollygagging pace. Lollygagging, that is when I get off my bike an walk alongside a creek. I peer into the pools looking for fish. There is fish but they are little. It would be fun to take a kid there for easy fishing. I think about taking Buddy…

8m36s miles. That's pretty darn good. I ain't even getting that on a bicycle. Imagine that, a runner faster than a biker.

I seen a wild horse in a tennis court. That has got to count as weird. I shoulda took a picture. Heh, I shoulda closed the gate. I coulda caught him that way. Exercise, nealy epic. I didn't make it as far as i did friday but it is still a lot of exercise cals. 3450 climbing. I wore my heart monitor. Haven't done that in a…

July 6, 3 yesses. Tracking maybe a little slouchy but exercise was almost epic. Got 3,500 of climb. Trying for 4,000 but I got kicked off the mountain by sheriff's deputies. There was a little lightning sparked fire near the top. Kind of a nothing burger, they put it out with helicopters. I liked watching them. They were…

50 minutes of climbing. 800 feet, heh, rounding up. Not my usual and I lost track. Pass they call it. I am up a couple pounds from my recent minimum. I better get back to some serious recreation. Weird as this may sound but I lose weight camping. Yeah right, lose wight camping. Last time I camped, my neighbors were like…

3 x yes My exercise is getting kind of slouchy. I still say yes though. Ugh, I think I just ruined my monitor. I coughed coffee on it. You know how it is drinking and you cough? Sometimes it is because of a joke. But yeah, I wiped it off with a towel pretty quick. Then I gave it windex and a paper towel to finish it up but…

yes x 3 Exercise kind of bare minimal so no great adventure story there. What do I have to do to stay in control on the 4th? Exercise, exercise. I will try for a big ride but there will be a lot of motorists out hunting for their picnic spot. Early is the way to go I guess.

1) yes, (2) yes, (3) yes Congrats to last months circle. Welcome to newcomers. I didn't make the circle. Started the month late and then kind of fizzled, well, got distracted by recreation. But I am in maintenance mode so that is how meticulous I am. I think I lost 15 since the start of the year. I got to pay attention or…

Went to my usual road this morning. Not that scrabbly Colorado Trail road. But my usual scrabbly road. I felt a bit stronger than usual possibly because I had returned to a somewhat lower altitude. So I thought I was pushing harder but I didn't get any better of times. That's ok, I don't want to get too obsessive about it.…

yes,yes,yes @gus130, my hat is off to you and here is me hoping that you got the best and most diligent and conscientious of medical professionals working your case.

Well, here is me trying to touch on all of them dots in Rick's info graphic. Dietary travelogue. I get off the internet, outside the range of data and cell service, tracking becomes kind of intuitive. Then I wonder about the legitimacy of saying yes to tracking. But I am down a few pounds and I am getting some good…
