Good morning! I will be playing catch up for a bit after having some computer issues. I am back for my third month. My name is Dee and I'm 58. I moved back home with my parents not long before my Dad got sick and passed. Since then, we've helped each other. A little more than a year ago I realized that I can't help her as…

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes no pass days used I feel like I really accomplished something this month but I've also been gearing up for next month. The next 3 weeks at work are challenging because of extra tasks that are quarterly. Here's to moving forward with confidence!

Yes, yes, and yes for me. No pass days used which to me is incredible and I got a good night's sleep last night. So I feel pretty good. Congratulations to everyone!

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes No pass days used My sleep has been off a little but it only takes a little to sap your energy. I did have good news though. My nephew who has lupus received his first shot yesterday. We didn’t know until a few weeks ago that his doctors said he could get one of the mRNA vaccines.…

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes no pass days used My plan for this month was to build core strength. If I had any weight loss, that would be a bonus. My core strength is definitely better and I managed to lose a couple pounds. This was a relaxation day for me. Mom and I went to the local garden nursery and found…

Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes, barely no pass days used We enjoy making our own pizza once a week or so and that pushes my calories. I prefer making my own because I can choose the sauce, toppings, and flavors that go into it. This time I mixed herbs and spices into tomato sauce. The sauce tasted good enough to…

@Katiecan2021 Gardening is on my list too! I can’t wait. We also have an arboretum nearby where you can walk or do a short hike. Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes No pass days used

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes No pass days used My nephew stayed the night to spend time with Mom post vaccine in case she needed help. She just likes spending the time with him. I’ve had to remind her it is ok to rest. Lol

Just a note, I carry almonds for snacks and edamame is good any time.

I do as well. I set my base calories as if I am sedentary. Then I let my exercise add to that base rate.

Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes no pass days used I capped off the day with a short walk in the cool air. As the street lights came on, it felt a bit like being called inside by parents after staying out too late. LOL Today is Mom's second vaccination day!

Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes no pass days used I did another 3 mile walk today without pain. I won't declare I'm injury free yet though. I can still feel it if I overdo some things. But being able to walk is a relief. @Chinkiri Check out this article too. I find the science of it interesting and am trying to…

@donna25trinityCONGRATULATIONS!!! B)

@Winner_in_Life and @MaltedTea Thank you! I had thought through those things as well including the prayer. I just knew that with what was coming I needed to decide to be positive about everything or I'd feel pulled too many directions. It was a positive day. I was busy all day. Now I'm just tired but I get to relax and…

@donna25trinity I don’t plan everything the day before, I just aim for balance and if I find myself off on nutrients in the afternoon I choose a snack to boost that. But 90 grams for protein sounds high to me. I found this article. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-protein-per-day

For me, this is going to be an attitude adjustment day. Every now and then little things just stack up on me. Hearing they are extending the tax deadline, knowing what is waiting on my desk, not sleeping well last night, cold rain outside, etc... So I am making sure I get my cardio in this morning first thing and have…

@Sherri71 I open both apps on my phone in the morning and evening and leave them open a while for everything to sync. I don’t know if this is how it is supposed to work but if I open both and then sync my Garmin, MFP tends to update too shortly. I hope that helps.

@lesdarts180 My heart breaks for you. May he go peacefully in the midst of your family's love. Keeping your family in my prayers.

I have been using Garmin a little more than a year after using polar off and on for more than 10 years. I use a vivimove for my daily tracking. If I finish healing I hope to get back on the bicycle and start hiking.

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes No pass days Just tired.

Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Pass Days Used: 0 My new smaller size pants that I wore today were big. :) The only downside is I left some water at home. I didn't get to drink more water until this evening.

Exercise: Yes Tracking: Yes Calories: Yes Pass Days Used: 0 I am in a smaller size this month. I have been wearing a belt with the larger sizes as I drop weight and will have to switch to a smaller belt soon. Even though I have been adding muscle mass this month, I have managed to drop a pound. I know I am stronger because…

@lesdarts180 I am sad for you and your family and hope you can get him home soon. Love and hug each other.

Exercise: yes Tracking: yes Calories: yes Pass Days Used: 0 I loved my outdoor walk. Too bad the temperature is dropping today.
