My mini goal right now is to keep the "days logged in" counter steadily ticking upwards (after 7.5 mos MIA from all parts of MFP, I am currently at 22 straight days.) 'Cause while I am here, I may as well get that food log filled out ... and if I am filling it out I may as well play "Go For The Green" ... (what I call…

After a 7.5 month stint of MIA from both UAC and MFP in general ..... I am pleased to announce that I have passed the 23 consecutive days mark for consistently-signing-in-and-logging-all-food The wondeful side effect of this is that I am down 4 pounds so far. I expect that to start slowing unless I add a higher percentage…

how would I search for these (and other similar) podcasts? Something to listen to while on my exercise bike ...

google bus stop exercises ... and if you don't find yourself in transit or waiting in lines so often, apply them to geting through tv commercials; when you check the washing machine or drier and there is still a bit of time to go; waiting for the microwave to ping or the kettle to boil etc.

Harking back to last Thursday's "growth vs fixed mindset" for a moment .... I was able to reserve a copy of the book from my public library ... but it is gonna be months before my name gets to the top of the "next copy to you" list.

Exercise: o:) walking (as usual) more than 9150 steps and not quite bedtime yet so a few more before day is fit-bit done at midnight. Logged: o:) everything - smaller breakfast and smaller lunch than yesterday Target met: o:) very much so. ate right up to the pre-exercise limit (only maybe 25 cals over) and also stepped…

I had to look up "fredagsmys" (never heard of that before) Seems it is NOT an entry from the Food Database like I first thought it might be (like ... for example .... steamed pud or marmite (both very British items) I like the explanation my google-search turned up, but will let the ones who experience it do the describing.

Exercise: o:) 35 minutes of exergame walking ... just got back from an additional walk around the block (plus 10 laps around the livingroom / diningroom / kitchen / hall to bring total steps over 8065 for the day Logged: o:) everything In Range: o:) with 36 calories to spare .... if not for the walk around the block I…

I don't know if you would call it "a problem" or "skewing the test" but I did the test (and I could tell what the answers that SHOULD give a "growth mindset" would be .... and often they WOULD be my answers ... but not truly feeling it at work these days even though I (mostly) answered "as if" in my usual mindset. It came…

@seilidhe the "like" (instead of hug) is because of your statement "....And I'm back" That's the MOST important and to-be-celebrated part!

I will be reading that article before the end of the day (almost time to start work in this time zone) me (yesterday): it had been raining all evening so no after-supper outdoor walk available. me (right now): it's RAAAAAAAAAINin aGAIN! OOOOOOOH WOOOOEEEEE it's RAAAAAAAAAINin aGAIN! " (at least I don't haaaaaaaaave to…

Exercise: o:) more than 35 minutes on exercise walking game ... plus more marching in place near the end of the evening while watching tv. I was restless / it had been raining all evening so no after-supper outdoor walk available. 11,281 steps total on the day. Logged: o:) Yup! In Goal: o:) used minimal exercise calories…

on days like that I switch exercise gears and take the "twenty minutes of intentional activity / doesn't have to be twenty minutes in a row either" VERY literally. I do "the Zombie Shuffle" in whatever segments I can manage (say 4 x 5 mins to 2 x 10 mins max; could even be shorter but more of them .... eg 7 x 3 mins) and…

Having a craft project that requires clean hands (like cross-stitch / knitting / crochet / mending etc) to do in the evening while watching tv or otherwise being relatively sedentary.

Freezing rain has started .... :s fortunately, I work from home - not likely to be "back on site" before I retire (in two years) ... so no icy - snowy commuting any more (for a second winter just beginning)

Feeling much better today (didn't turn into a full fledged cold after all) Exercise: o:) TWO exergame sessions PLUS a healthy-length outdoor walk for a total of over 12000 steps Logging: o:) all done, including a different breakfast - applesauce and raisins stirred into quick-cooking oatmeal. In Limits: o:) barely touched…

That's what I discovered the hard way (weigh) when I first got a kitchen scale. I honestly thought I was faithfully recording how much popping corn (AIR POPPED ONLY) I was having for my evening snack, and staying within limits ..... 50 grams was NOT what the package was saying was an equivalent VOLUME! I felt beTRAYed, I…

Way to BEEEEEEEE, Champion @Jana_2020 !!

NSV posted early on. A second NSV: I haven't miss a day yet for signing on; Day 15 of the month and only using my second Pass. First pass was a miscalculation on snack choice (learning situation); 15th was "didn't exercise / didn't complete log" because I wasn't feeling well (possible cold coming on - noz wudddnt stop…

Exercise: o:) 35 minutes on the walking exergame (and mini trampoline) Logged: o:) absolutely everything On Target: o:) without the exercise calories eaten Passes used so far: 1/3 (bad planning) Even before The World Changed (and the first covid lockdown began) I would use Youtube Treadmill training postings to "quick walk…

I am surprised (and VERY PLEASED) at how quickly logging habits switched back on after a 7.5 month gap - basically in one day - and that the "mindless grazing" I had fallen into switched off just as fast. What gets measured really DOES get changed .... because you are paying attention to it. B)

And still reporting . CHAMPION behavior!!

Exercise: o:) 2 x more than 25 mins each on walking exergame (plus huge grocery shop) for a total of over 10,583 on the day Logged all: o:) Under goal: o:) What made me smile today? In my walking game (as part of "reinforcement to get you coming back each day) you make a rainbow. I just HAPPENED to make the rainbow at the…

Correction ... you DID do something right. You showed up and reported. That's CHAMPION behavour! (wild applause and confetti thrown in your honour!)

I have never crocheted anything quite on THAT scale ... love color work like that be it crochet of knitting.

Actually ...... ask any molecular chemist, and they will remind you that the "glass is ALWAYS full - it's just a matter of proportion ...." ;) Whatever portion of the interior volume is NOT filled with liquid .... IS filled with air molecules! B) And who ever made The Rule about which metaphor label to apply where?…

20 minutes and 165 exercise calories later .... I can declare victory (by a mere 11 calories ... still, a wee improvement on my other near-squeaker of only TWO calories to spare) o:) o:) o:) Pass days used: 1/3 (bad planning of evening snack) ============ All this despite most of the post breakfast calories on my day off…

Just keep showing up and reporting, Champ! (consider yourself "in pre-season training camp for the December Winners Circle" Continued practice and habit solidifying is ESPECIALLY important when the next month is Holly Daze Season <3 <3 .... (not that it isn't important as a run-up to ANY month ... just that Holly Daze…

If I don't want to post a second pass day, I need to burn 85 calories (or more). That is MORE than 20 minutes mini-trampoline walking exergame ( why will be explained later). Exer-BIKE is better burn-per-minute. Heading downstairs, "The Scottish Bookstore" mystery series #4 audiobook in hand Title: The Stolen Letter" awwww…
