250 miles by Jan 1- 5 months for 250 miles- Aug

Good Morning!!

I had a good day yesterday. 3.5 miles of exercise, 11146 steps 64 oz water, stayed under calorie allotment. Going out with some coworkers from a past job tonight.

Amy: Hope you feel better soon and they are able to find the route of your stomach issues.

Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

WATP/Exercise= 74.5 miles, Fitbit= 100.66 miles

AMY - here is a good article on GERD and diet nutritionfacts.org/2017/07/13/treating-the-root-cause-of-acid-reflux/

Cait I read the article I am better having 3 cups of nonfat cottage cheese melted with 6 cups ofwholewheat rotini 1 cup pasta and 1./2 cup cottage cheese melted in microwave 3 large apples top, 72 grams of protein from the cheese and lots of fiber from the pasta. 37 points and simply filling.I feel better

Good Morning Walkers!

Last night I marched in place while we watched TV 1 hour = 3 Miles and used free weights a bit. Green zone of pts and JWTB around 10 pm. Yay!

This am up about 6:20 and went to "meetup" walk up Signal Hill. I did 3.3 Miles. The others were going to do more, about 6 miles but I wanted to get home to DH. He wants to go to the farmers market this am.

Tomorrow we're going to walk to breakfast and then go check out a gym that takes "Silver Sneakers." DH is not eager for the gym. We shall see. It's free for us through our medical insurance.

Trying to get back to exercising 1 hour a day or so, 3 Miles, most days.

Praying that our friend KC and her DH are ok - Corpus Christi got hit hard by the hurricane. They have good family so I assume they went to stay with kids.

KELLY - Sounds like wild times at your house! GFY with Miles, steps & water. Probably you made "better than" choices on the food and drinks.

AMY - Will your medical plan pay for a nutritionist? That could really help. I find I do best with balanced meals of veg, whole grains, legumes, fruit, and a little nuts/seeds. I get plenty of protein in plant foods and they are alkaline, not acid like the dairy products. For 90% of people, protein is not a problem - lack of fiber is much more of a concern. Here are two videos (and you can read a transcript if you prefer) on protein and nutrition:

Sounds like everyone is busy, busy, busy! New puppies and grandkids growing up are fun challenges, for sure!

Yes, I am a teacher at our state university. I teach in the English Department, mostly to undergraduate first-year writers (we used to call it "freshman comp," so you might know that course) who are international students. Usually it's a lot of fun, but work, too, of course.

Amy, glad you're feeling better and trying to learn about healthy eating.
Cait, the meet-up sounds fun. Is it the same group as last week?
Kelly, little Sadie is really shaking things up!

I haven't posted in a while, but I went to AquaFit Wednesday and Friday, so 4 miles for that. I also got in one mile of campus walking both days. I had planned to work out Thursday, but I forgot we had planned a neighborhood ladies' good-bye dinner with a gal who is moving. Ate Mexican food instead of working out
