Nice to see a spark in comments here, was wondering where everyone went! I am on the cusp of leaving for a remote bush camp where I spend my summers. Lots of physical work, but I'm vowing to try and not eat seconds at mealtimes, hahaha. There are no roads, no cell service, but I just ordered StarLink so hopefully in a few…

Today, Saturday June 3rd is National Trails Day! Hope some of you went out and hit up a few trails.

Hiking sign a friend posted, reminds me of when my kids were little and I'd try to introduce them to the joy of hiking. (Now as adults they DO enjoy it :D )

Just picking on myself this morning. If you can laugh at yourself, life is more enjoyable. Hope everyone is doing well today! The tiniest moment of real sunshine decided to make a brief appearance through all the black rainclouds so I got the chance to soak up a few micrograms of Vitamin D. :)

I’ve determined, with the exception of this thread (hopefully?), that whenever I find a post that interests me enough to join in the conversation, my comment becomes the death of that thread and no more comments happen. Either my comments are so stunningly excellent that everyone else is speechless and unable to top them…

I just found this thread, I LOVE hiking! Born into a hiking family, and still going at it. Nature refreshes my soul. My Alaskan Island has about 3500 Kodiak bears (biggest grizz's) so always have to be on the lookout. Mountains and beaches call to me. Sharing a few pics of trails, views, and critters here. I love…

Everyone is commenting on how you are looking good, but hey, an impressive improvement in your health! I bet you are feeling more energetic, happier, and surprising yourself on your success. Keep it up! :)

How is everyone doing? It's been over 10 days since a post! Hope everyone is safe, doing well, and looking forward to spring. (Or fall in the southern hemisphere) Still getting snow where I live, but the glacier in my driveway is finally receding, yay. Watching for little green shoots of spring flowers to start peeking out…

Pic where I live for fun, the aurora sure was incredible all around the globe a week ago. Waiting for spring!

@AnnPT77 I love physical therapy too! Shattered a knee cap into many tiny pieces a few years ago and was surgically repaired with screws (which I can feel, and dont ever kneel on). They didn't think it would heal well enough and that I might need a brace the rest of my life. With excellent PT my knee fully recovered and…

YouTube!-search for meditation music, calming music, relaxation music, peaceful music, inspirational music. Theres classical, nature sounds, instrumentals like piano, strings, flutes, choral, etc. Movie soundtracks like BraveHeart, Rob Roy, Secret of Roan Inish, Lord of the Rings, any of your favorite movies you liked. If…

The sun is starting to come up earlier in the morning here, (Alaska) and the days are getting longer by a few minutes every day. With it I seem to get more energy! I've had a few slip-ups here and there, but the best thing is just to roll with it and get right back on track the next day. Cold but beautiful sunny day here,…

Happy New Year from Alaska to everyone! Wishing all of you a healthy and peaceful coming year!

There are a large number of walking videos on YouTube, such as Leslie Sansone that was mentioned earlier! She has 4 basic steps, and adds the option of embellishments here and there. It helps keep boredom away if your routine needs some spice. You don't have to do everything she does, you can just keep walking in place to…

Everyone enjoying the holiday? Or hiding out, haha? Or freezing, roasting, or flooded out depending on where you live? Hoping all is well with everyone! I managed to eat a normal sized meal on Christmas day, only one dessert and one glass of wine. The menu included wild salmon and a caribou roast. Not our usual holiday…

Yay for you! I'm 68 and still working 2 jobs, one a seasonal job with a lot of physical activity. I feel so much younger than I am. I've been asked why I'm not retired yet-but I thrive on activity. My weight loss efforts are not the best, I go up and down, but I still feel good because I am active, physically and mentally.…

I have been noticing double posts on several topics in these community topics. I just posted my comment above and the page flipped to a server issue. I didn't read the full feedback but something between Vanilla and another server. MFP's admin/IT may want to look at it. It tried to double post my comment above, and you…

With very little pre-training, I participated in a 5K yesterday. Way at the back of the pack but did it. At the end they had random prize drawings, and I won the grand prize! A massage! Yay!! And surprisingly, not sore today.

I keep stopping by here every day and everyone must be busy as very few posts! Hugs to everyone in Puerto Rico, Cuba. Florida, the Carolinas, Eastern Canada, and Western Alaska. Seems such a small thing to have a successful day of keeping within my macros and calorie stats when I think of all the hardships you are dealing…

Definitely have to check each one, at least the first time you add it to your personal food lists. I track my sodium. If someone doesn't care about every stat they might not enter it. Or have happy fingers. I had an avocado once that had 2000mg of sodium entered. And a grilled chicken breast that had 25,000 g protein. Have…

I caught Covid after returning home from a 3 month absence :s but the upside is that I have never been home for this long of a stretch without leaving my house. All of my clutter is staring me in the face, years of accumulating things that became invisible to me because I was used to them. Starting to get more energy, and…

@ridiculous59: Wow, dragon boats look like such fun! Don't think I'll ever see one where I live, it's mostly big winds and ocean waves here and way too rough. Your post inspired me to look them up on YouTube and want to try it sometime, maybe on a vacation where they offer the experience. :)

I just got back from a destination wedding on a tropical island, and enjoyed wonderful local food and an overabundance Pina Coladas. And big sunburn. And....surprisingly I lost 6 pounds! I did not log any meals, but my improved eating habits from being on MFP for a few years helped! I need to go back there, haha.

Swimmom_1. I feel you! I'm just a casual, but have been working 60+ hours a week since early December. Just finished a 10 day stint of working all by myself 12-14 hours a day. I'm the oldest one, approaching 68, and all the youngsters got covid or had to quarantine. Only one other person didn't get sick so she covered…
