@snowshoe072 , Great short intense walk , Well done! 👍 And hooray for the guitar 🎸 practice, your fingers are in training. 🙌 @SummerSkier , balance is so foundational that it’s hard to see improvement, but every single second of practice is progress! Good job keeping at it. There’s no keeping you down @Interbeing ! 10 mile…

Good job keeping your balance! @SummerSkier. I love the idea of your multiple sessions, that’s going to get your balance better more quickly. @snowshoe072. Great lunchtime walk! 🚶‍♀️I don’t turn off my walk timer while waiting for cross traffic either. I’d surely forget to turn it back on. My exercise tracker seems to…

Happy Cinco de Mayo - I’m all ready with burritos and my homemade salsa. Losing it in May These first four days have been mild activity days, so I haven’t been hungry, but this week will be very active and I am gearing up to be ready. May 4 - In under calories and I even managed a couple squares of dark chocolate. 👍

@Interbeing - oh my! those are some bruises! Kickball is clearly a dangerous game ! Still, it’s better to be injured being active than to suffer the consequences of inactivity. Rehabbing after an injury is a real challenge, so that is a great goal! It sounds like your plan is a smart one. @SummerSkier , hey, practice is…

Oh MFP, why do you hate me! I just wrote a long reply to all of you, and MFP ate it. So I’m refilling my coffee and writing in Notes now. May the Fourth Be With You Welcome @NadiaMayl , you and I can be tracking buddies. Good job starting the months strong! Every day of success helps keep the momentum. Four days is a great…

May 2 update- Total win bringing my calories in under goal!. I’m excited about this. I do enjoy a challenge! Patting myself on the back!

@hcoleman232 , great plan and idea. My floss lives on a shelf above the kitchen sink, so available in the same room where the food goes in the mouth. I will be happy if it takes me 3 months, but I decided to give myself a tough challenge for the Merry Merry Month of May. @SummerSkier This month is really about controlling…

Thanks @hcoleman232 for the cheer. That final poem used to make me think of my daughters, but now it gets me about my granddaughters. My oldest granddaughter will be doing a study program in Italy this summer!!!

Thanks for the TDEE Spreadsheet, @SummerSkier . Maintaining is tough, and I’ve definitely added fluff. I have a pretty good idea of my baseline, and if I stuck to it, I would definitely lose some of the weight. I’m just struggling to eat at that level as I’m changing my low-carb diet to one that’s more plant-based. The…

@SummerSkier , balance is such an important habit, I may join you although However this month, I want to focus on dialing in my afternoon snacks because I am struggling to get down to my maintenance level, and I know that extra serving of (usually peanut butter bread) is the problem. I’ll think about how to set up my plan…

@SummerSkier , the walking definitely becoming a habit. I’m so glad you’ve joined us and that you’ve made progress on your dental hygiene during this month Last April I made a goal of doing 10 squats and 10 pushups daily, and I’ve been doing them ever since. I miss a day from time to time, but the task is so small, it’s…

@hcoleman232 , you are doing great! 👍 Strength really is the hardest workout to do consistently. However, I spy two strength workouts and I’d guess packing and moving boxes might count as strength work too. @SummerSkier , I’m thinking about my May goal and preparing the thread for the month. Thanks both of you for your…

@SummerSkier , boring habits are good. I think the boredom sets in as the habit approaches automatic. After all, who is likely to stay excited about dental care forever! Same goes for almost every healthy habit.
