Welcome @1PoisonIvy, I really like your name B) and your photo of the bluebonnets is gorgeous! I did not see many bluebonnets this year only because I was not out and about much where I would normally have seen them this past month. So I'm super grateful to see your beautiful photo! @Deeder522, We were told that we had to…

Good morning and Happy 2024! My habit(s) that I want to get back into is posting my walks/ workouts in the walking group that I have been a part of. Last year was physically/ mentally difficult as well as a challenging one for me all around, and I want that to be in the books being it was what it was, and this is another…

Good morning! @Deeder522 Looks like you have your month well planned out thanks to Apple and Jessica Smith! I am going to continue on with timed walking either outdoors or inside on most days. I'm also wanting to get back to using my DVDs or YouTube for workouts and mix them in also. January 1: 30 minutes cul-de-sac…

I used my step counter for about half of the month and then decided to take it off because some family was gonna stay with us through the holidays and other family members will be in and out. Plus the one staying with us has the two youngest ones, so they always want to be chased or to do the chasing around and lots of…

@Deeder522, indeed December certainly did sneak up on me 🤔 🤣! I was totally taken by surprise earlier today when I looked at my phone! I need to turn over our calendars 📆 to December now. I just now posted December's challenge 👏🤪! And now need to finally check in on November 😁👟... Wow, there are 3 pages of posts for…

@77tes, after I completed this post I saw your post about your daughter having been diagnosed with cancer... I am very sorry to read that. I will keep your daughter, you and your family in prayer 💖. I completely forgot to log into MFP during October, or to post here. I have been still dealing with the leftovers of my Covid…

I did it again 🤔and totally forgot to log in here during this month... 🥲again. But on the upside of things, I only had 3 days this month that were below my personal minimum number of steps as noted on the little clip on my pocket step counter that I have been using this year. (I do not use it on Sundays). I hope to go back…

@Deeder522 Good for you in completing the Apple challenge by closing all your rings 9 times, as well as meeting/ exceeding your mileage goal! Well done👏👟. Thanks for the information about liquids before lunch. I kind of do that as I eat a very late breakfast usually, not for any special reason... just what most often…
-
@Deeder522 Does 'Liquids Until Lunch' permit using smoothies or blended soups to meet your morning nutrition needs, or only non calorie liquids like coffee/tea or water? I'm just curious about what your options are in the morning. I do hope that you are successful in finding the perfect pair of new walking shoes soon.…

@Deeder522 thanks for the encouraging comments... especially the Post-it notes one 😅💖🌷.

@Deeder522, Yeah, this has been a number of months, but physically I'm definitely doing much better, and now at the end of July I finally can recognize that the Covid brain fog stuff is definitely lifting- I have less of a struggle starting a task that requires using my brain like for paper work, and doing the task is…

Hi all, I had read through the June posts and was writing some thoughts and comments and suddenly, almost at the end ...poof... I tapped the wrong key, and my thoughts went into cyberspace/ thin air. Oh well 🤔🤪. You all did really great and wrote some excellent posts that I enjoyed reading. For June I planned on doing a…

@Deeder522 Miles Tracked: 76 / 80 well done, I know not quite enough to meet goal, but an amazing number of miles indeed!! Apple Watch Challenge: you reached their exercise goal ✅ (20min) 7 times this month! YaY for you!! Well done 👍!! I'm so happy that your den is now ready for your workouts again. You did well accessing…

I have finally finished catching up with this month's posts. Well done everyone! It was a pleasure to follow your progress! Thank you to everyone for their kind words of encouragement during May. Things have definitely improved for me. Whereas in April I had taken 15 additional unplanned lighter days in the "physical…
-
@zichab, I hope that all is well with you. I imagine that you are still very busy with the remodeling and all that is involving, including the cleaning up during/ after all of it. Did you get all of those 27 boxes of books (plus the books already there) shelved yet? All of that counts as many miles of moving about, as well…

@Deeder522, I loved making salads back when there were a lot more of us in the home to eat them. Now with the large variety of bagged salads available, I find myself definitely liking them more than making them. It is also so easy to add an item or two like tomatoes, for example, if I want to. Our store has what is called…

@themedalist & @MadisonMolly2017, Thanks for starting us off again. I really enjoyed looking at the May Wishes poster from Quitting the Sitting, and @77tes for sharing the lovely May Day poem by Sara Teasdale. Your opening posts made it feel like May is finally here! Yes the year is going by, but for me May seems like a…

I am going to do my best to return back here during May. I am getting more physical energy back, but not to normal yet. When I looked over my April exercise calendar, I realized that I took 15 additional 'easier' / 'rest' days, besides my normal 'rest' day on Sundays. And I am still having trouble focusing on, or…
-
@zichab, 🫣oh, NO... where is that last tenth of the mile last month???? Well, we know that you will show that "Garmin" a thing or two about how to count those miles in May! Preparing for the grandkids visit is a great incentive to get it done!! And using the Walk It Off in 30, 30 minute strength routine will get you hiking…

I read through all the posts last night, but it was too late to try to make a reply. Thank you for both of you being here in April. I just never got it together to post here. I was really happy that both of you could be here and hold the fort down. Again, thank you! You both had me bouncing between laughing out loud and…
-
First, thank you all for your such lovely notes of encouragement and well wishes to feel better again after being sickie with Covid 😷. that was very encouraging to read them tonight. I just haven't been up to posting on MFP since my earlier post, so I missed reading them when they were written. I'm have continued to keep…
-
@zichab and @Deeder522 , I am truly so glad to see you both still here finishing out the month, especially since I hadn't been on line here since the 19th. I was almost afraid to look in case no body had been here. Wow, you both have experienced a lot with family members with various illnesses that affect what they are…

Hi all, I have lurked occasionally this year whenever I've felt up to it. I finally came down with Covid in mid January, but I have been dealing with some post infection symptoms hanging on. I'm finally getting to feel more normal. I have been working to get back to having energy and actually feeling like I'm accomplishing…
-
Good afternoon to @zichab and @Deeder522, and anyone peeking in 👀. You are both doing great with your miles and fitness challenges, It was fun reading your posts about the weather, as well as floors and older homes. Having lived in Pennsylvania for many years, I experienced the surprises of the layers of flooring also. I'd…
-
Hi @Deeder522, and @zichab, It is so good to see you both! Wow, @zichab, what a story! You certainly have had the best reason of all of us to not be here.... family and grand children with you, travel and other happenings! So busy, but so good!! I'm also glad that your husband's symptoms subsided so that you could also…
-
@Deeder522, wow, you sure did hold down the fort for us all. Thank you for hanging in there even though it was quite lonely around here. You also did amazing closing those rings! Well done 👏🙌 having all of those green check marks in your posts! I'm so sorry that you had Covid twice. It has been many a decade since I felt…
-
I am going to copy (with a bit of edit for February) what I wrote in my last post for January to explain how I am starting out in February. "January started out very slowly for me since I had spent the last two weeks of December with friends, family and especially some of our grandchildren, which was a great joy. So I…
-
@Deeder522 you are doing great with your Apple Watch Challenge of closing your Exercise Rings and tracking your mileage. Welcome @MammySher to the group! I also agree with gently suggesting that since you haven't done the walking videos in a long time that you find a way that suits you best to gradually work your way up to…
-
@Deeder522 yay for going bowling 🎳 !! I'll bet that you earned every one of those cals that your Apple watch logged for you and had loads of fun as well as exercise! I know, it has become very quiet 😓. 🌺🦋🌷
-
Each post was so wonderful to read, and also encouraging as well as inspiring. Oh my!! Especially in January! I only have time to respond to two: @themedalist what a good idea for a year of progress tracker! And that is a really good tracker to show your progress over the year, literally! Sounds perfect to roll over your…
