bump - I always find this thread very worth regular reviewing -- and for some parts of the world, warmer weather will be arriving very soon ....

I have been actively "more incidentally active" the past few days - more use of the standing-desk etc. The same concept is also called "NEAT" or Non-Execise Activity Thermogenics. Both of these bookmarked MFP threads are long-running lists of samples. Maybe some entries will inspire you.…

I finished sewing a skirt. For me .... having the words "finished": and "sewing" in the same sentence is a BIG DEAL. What's a personal BIG DEAL for you?

As the entry right under yours mentioned, there was no true "book club" in place, so nothing to crash! This thread is for WHATEVER people want to share or ask about ... and we already seem to have shifted a bit from food logging to fitbits (or equivalents) to target heartrate zone research. Follow the flow, or add your own…

I have lost count of which days I DIDN'T post recently - (whether I logged or not / haven't missed any exercise but can't be positive if the exercise was enough to counter the lamb stew or not) so I am arbitrarily calling it "3+ pass days used " solely on the non-logging factor. Aiming for Champion, though. I will be going…

back again ... I have been lazy for logging. So I am out of the Winner's Circle already - but still working towards Championship. Caught up on my reading here - see that we are more into food and Food Macro/Micro fine-tuning than books at the moment (just as well - I need to get my nose out of books and back to doing less…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES - 47 minutes on the bike, and some walking during a lunch and learn webinar. Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? YES

how many people are you serving the pancakes to? I can send proportions for one-meal's worth for 2, or for more. My MIL's recipe and is great.

Identifying an issue comes before strategizing how to deal ... you have identified .... you are on your way to dealing!

There was the original Wii (which I still use); then Wii U (basically Wii 2.0 and backwardly compatible) and now Switch (basically Wii 3.0 but not backwardly compatible) .... so yeah, I would say you were (sorta) on the Wii!

Introduce a new main idea ANY time! (i'm not a baker myself, apart from my breadmaking machine - but others will have discovered strategies, I am sure!)

I am now in my early 60's so "move more" is more and more important in the grand scheme of things ..... (wails: "but discovered last night that the e-lending collection has a WHOLE BUNCH of Mercedes Lackey Elemental Masters titles I have never even HEARD of!!!!!!! ) AAAAKKKKKKK!!!!!! (sorta)

AAAAKKKKKKK!!!!!! (sorta) * LOVE talking books * have been a "bookaholic" practically from birth (if you count picture-books) * am TRYING to shift away from tablet-based non-work activities (library e-lending collection and faux-cross stitch after a hard day's sitting in front of my double monitors for work (through a cold…

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? YES - another "stationary bike commute" of 600 cals Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? YES - (I tend to eat SOME exercise calories, as I am currently on 1200 cals /day base - but most of the time leave a bunch of exercise calories in the pot. At 'sedentary lifestyle…

Main meals pre-logged / (weight of yesterday's breakfast home-made bread slice jigged to today's) About to do dishes now (before work) and get a few extra steps in before powering up the laptop for the day.

no ..... you aren't contemplating pattern / material match-ups YET . .... FIRST finish sewing paraphenalia round-up. THEN cut out next project! (aren't you the least bit curious about "how all the clothes in the same room" is gonna go together ..... ONCE YOU FINISH EMPTYING THOSE TWO DRAWERS IN THE TALL BOY?
-
Exercise 20 + minutes? Yes - 80 minutes (600 cals) on the stationary bike "commuting home from work" (aka biking between sign-off-work time and supper time) .. while watching Netflix Tiny House Nation ,,, hoping for some innovative compact storage ideas to show up from time to time. Logged everything? Yes Under goal? Yes…

Robin McKinley has been a long-time favourite of mine too. How about retold fairytale in a steampunk setting? Nancy Campbell Allen. Beauty and the Clockwork Beast (first) and Kiss of the Spindle (retold Sleeping Beauty) second . Could be read as a stand-alone, but tangent back-story connections from Kiss refer to Beauty. I…

It worked this time!

If you like retelling / remixing of fairy tales, you can't do much better than Mercedes Lackey's Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms series (DO start with #1 The Fairy Godmother if at all possible. after that, the order is irrelevant.) And her Elemental Masters series is also great for "magic among us" in fairly-recent…

See my March 2 entry about availability of "Surrounded by idiots" in pdf form if enough people want to look at that one.

Current-day Mystery with the slightest dab of magic: Heather Blake's Wishcraft Mystery series (don't HAVE to be read in order, but village inter-relationships evolve over time that reflect a deeper story arc) Current-day Mystery with no magic, but a Maine Coon cat (who is only a cat) : Miranda James Cat in the Stacks…
