@weatherking2019, yeah sometimes those rings sneak up on you and your off by a tiny bit. It happened to me recently too. I think being active in the garden would surely make up for it. Check in for 4/12. 1. >15,000 steps daily (Fitbit data). Beautiful day before the cold rain and wind came in the afternoon, missed step…

It feels good to get outside especially when you're able to meet up with a friend.

Just made it over 3,000 calories for the day 3. Carbs right at goal and calories…

Check in for 4/10. 1. Got in 2 walks for >20,000 steps for almost 10 miles. 2. Fitbit data recorded>3,500 calories burned 3.

@supergal3, that's right! A new day and a new chance. I like that. Check in for 4/9 1. >15,000 steps daily (Fitbit data). Got in 2 walks again, goodness it's cold outside.

I SCORED a 9 pack of cottonelle tonight at the grocery store. I saw some in another shoppers cart and went over to get the second to last one on the shelf. I actually ran down the aisle when I saw it there. Took a selfie with my Cottonelle and sent it to my family and friends.

Check in 4/8 Darn, not the best day I've had. Too tired so gave up and ordered take out from a local mom and pop TexMex restaurant.

Right at goal for carbs both days and under calories both days. 4. Wasn't able to hit goal of steps each hour,will see if I'm able to figure out how to…

I was going to say that I went to my local grocery store after work last night. Still no toilet paper. Plenty of paper towels and Kleenex. Fresh produce pretty good about half as stocked as pre-COVID. Meat department also half as stocked, hamburger and hot dogs more slim. Canned goods looking quite bare actually. Milk and…

Thanks for the information about vitamin E, I had forgotten that it can thin blood. Check in April 2 1. >15,000 steps daily (Fitbit data). Wow I smashed my goal and got 20,811 steps.

So I overdid the…

I get my calorie burn amount from my fitbit. I'm a bigger girl trying to lose weight so I walk briskly intermittently with jogging. I use the none 2 run app. That plan has been working well for me so using the Fitbit gives me the calories burned per exercise and also calories burned for the whole day. Comparing my weight…

Thank you. Very excited and appreciative. Hope everyone's family was able to get what is needed at the store. My sister was able to score me a 6 pack of toilet paper. Strange that bare shelves are a topic of conversation. Everyone take care.
