Successful week!

-
This past weekend I was out of town on a soccer club trip so I definitely got some walking in but didn't track food. Monday I started tracking my food. All week I've tracked everyday and been at least 600 calories under what myplate says I should be to lose 2lbs a week, except Wednesday, I was 30 calories over. Apparently a bag of microwave popcorn is 500 calories!!! So much for my favorite evening snack. Which really I shouldn't have. I've walked 2 miles each day this week. I haven't gotten any bike riding in, but maybe this weekend. Lunchtime walking hasn't been working well. It's stupid busy at work and so hot I've been in a full lather. Tuesday I got my walk in while my son had soccer practice in. Since Wednesday I've gotten up early to do my walking. I've done the stairs the days I'm in my main office, one day after a luncheon I even did them a second time. My manager and some coworkers went up with me. My legs were pissed ...

Season of changes

It definitely feels like a season of change. We've had numerous protests throughout the country with calls for Police Reform and calling awareness for systemic racism within the Judicial system in the US.  It's encouraging to see the widespread and varied folks at the protests, but at the same time it's scary as hell because we are in the midst of the a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic is still growing in the US and seems to be growing faster here than other parts of the world.  Is some of that appearance because have a more transparent government and press?  Or is just that we've done an incredibly shitty job job of protecting our selves and socially distancing.  I suspect its a combination of the two, but we are definitely doing a shitting job of protecting ourselves.  We are still staying home and minimizing our contacts with others.  We've not let our son start back soccer yet, but field space is getting hard to come by at the parks so we may star...

1 month into 2nd year; 2 weeks late on post

-
I'd planned to make my next update on 5/11, but I didn't. I was pretty overwhelmed by the response from my last post.  I shared the link on my personal FB page and also with my 9Round family.  The response was very positive, but like I said overwhelming.   Clearly my decision to keep the circle tight initially was a good one from my perspective.  I've never been great at accepting unsolicited advice no matter how well meant or proper it might be. I've stayed on track for the most part this month, even if my step count and burned calories may not beat my April totals for the month.   I did end up beating the counts for both in April.  We had a hectic weekend at the beach for soccer and I didn't lack in the step department for sure. 9Round is still going well and luckily my son is able to join me again some now that soccer is winding down.  I've got a neighbor that's joined as well, so hopefully we can go together some. As yard season has kic...
