Been MIA for a week. Back at it. No weight loss, but no gain in my week of not reporting. Visited a boxing gym in a larger town yesterday and felt inspired. Going back to boxing gym later this week for a "prescription of work" to begin developing a workout. Too far away for regular workouts, but I could use biweekly visits…

Been waking up at 2 a.m. a few times a week. So, then, when I do get back to sleep I oversleep. Late start today. Thanks to those who submitted their advice on car/worker/gift or trade question. I went with labor trade (1/3 what I actually paid for the car) and my labor guy was very happy. I was keeping the car for my son,…

ihscapil I'm from Eastern Oregon, Wallowa County. I changed my id from GingerBeer to my name, Kathleen, but it doesn't seem to stick all the time. My puppy appreciates your admiration ;-)

Sharon in the Past Cool story. I have heard other stories from the time where boys left home at 14. I even knew a fellow who won a medal for courage in WWII who enlisted at 14. Lied about his age, obviously, but I don't know how he fooled them because he was a little guy even after he was a mature man! But, he was…

My hired "son" didn't come this morning to help out with projects. His car broke down way up on a remote highway and he had to borrow his boss's flatbed and truck to go get it. Poor kid. He's a single father with two little ones and has only found seasonal work in this rural community. I hire him for three hours on Sunday…

Hey all. I'll start signing my entries with my name. :p I go by Kathleen.

When I say "we" went on a hike. This is who my hiking partner is: Aki the dog. He's either a Xoloitzcuintli or a Dachshund/Chihuahua. Take your best guess. He's a rescue and there was a Xolo breeder in the area, but no one reported him missing. He loves hiking.

this is where I live (not my actual back yard, but just 5 miles from my house). This is the lower (flatter) end of the little river/big creek I hike along. Oct. Goals: drink those 8 cups of water each day 1200 steps per day create a veggie smoothy that is super tasty finish by biz plan and turn it in get back to work on…

Matchka9 bamboo sox: the thick ones do take a long time to dry. The liner sox are quick to dry. Walked 4 miles down the railroad tracks near my house today. The tracks have been decommissioned for years, but are still there - a former commissioner fought like hell to preserve the tracks (and managed to keep them in county…

What inspirational comments! There are three people on my dragon boat team that are over 70. I think our oldest is 74 (he was my bench mate this summer and is in great condition). BTW dragon boat racing is excellent exercise for people with knee, hip or low back problems. It's still a full-body workout but you don't put…

I used to do moderate intermittent fasting naturally when I was in my 20s and 30s. Didn't do it every day, but several days in a week. Didn't do snacks or drink coffee in those days. So, basically, a few days a week I had supper at 6 or 7 p.m. and simply wasn't hungry till 11 a.m. and if I was busy I couldn't be bothered…

Debby your produce is gorgeous! I want some of those acorn squash right now!

Very tired and lots of aches today so took a day off, added MSM and Quercetin to my smoothy and that helped a lot. Also got Hemp protein, probiotics and red rice yeast mixed into my vitamins (to go in smoothy) for future. I haven't been getting enough protein and suspect that's why I'm so tired - thus the hemp protein. I…

kevrit I'm so sorry your Chewy is getting to that age. My kitty Charlie made it to 21 but his last year was so difficult for him. He went to the vet for kidney support and that bought him 6 months but his old kidneys were just too old and he finally "told me" he was done. I had him put to sleep and cried my eyes out for…

thanks Matchka I've been cutting the MFP calories burned in half. There is a little box that says "enter your watch's report of calories burned here" but it doesn't accept my entries, so I just tinker with the sport till I find the one that matches what my watch says. So, I may have hiked 5.5 miles in rough country, but i…

Imaginemary you seem to be on a similar path as me and you too are finding your own diet. Very glad to meet you online. I was also very worried about the plastic watch, band but I don't seem to have a problem with the one I got, except it's annoying to wear a watch after a whole life of mostly not wearing a watch. Update…

Calories burned as counted by my fitness watch are much less than calories burned according to this site. Which do you take and how do you enter that?

Got snowed on pretty good today on my hike in the Eagle Cap Wilderness of NE Oregon. It's the first time I've hiked for two days in a row, so the little dog and I went up the steepest hill for a shorter hike (2.5 miles). Killer hike burned 700 calories according to my fitness watch. It was almost mountaineering for a mile…

65, just started mfp and calorie counting. Been hiking and playing pickle ball (dragon boat racing is over for the season - we won 7 medals this year). My favorite low-calorie hunger beater for late-night or between meals is a can of green beans. It's both a soup and warm veg! Approx. 60 calories. Sometimes I put chicken…
