30.4 miles down / 233.3 to go on the John Muir Trail. I'm probably right behind you Cait. Cait: Thank you for the card and the link ! I love walking by the beach ... when it's warm. Wow a backpacking trip in your 20's ?!? Impressive. Thank you also for sharing the flowers. Tickyboo. You're doing great ! I have some catching up to do. Amyrs: Hang in there, you'll get reasonable meals figured out. Sooner than later I hope. Here's a snap from yesterday's walk.

Good Afternoon Challengers!
Yesterday I did all 6 of my main HHs, stayed in my 💚 zone of pts 🔵 Healthy Eating Zone. One day at a time.
My “KISS” HHs (Keep it Simple and Specific) - Avoid salted snacks: 💚 - JGTB: 💚
2 microhabits: - “50 pushaways”: 💚 - “No seconds with snack”: 💚
Habit change: It’s a process - mind, body, emotions, spirit. It takes time and repetition. For me, Prayer + Practice + Patience + Perseverance = Progress
Yesterday we walked 2.6 mi to got our takeout breakfast. I did my floor PT exercises 40 mins.
I talked to my Sis on Zoom for an hour and a half, and to my Bro on Zoom for half an hour. We couldn’t coordinate a time for all 3 of us. It was great to see them and chat. 😍 It was my Sis’s first time using Zoom, maybe my Bro’s also.
RIDGERUNNER - You’re actually ahead of me on JM Trail. I’m at 25.5 mi total after this am’s walk. Glad you enjoyed the WW Weekly info. It comes out each Sunday via e-mail and also in the app. I know a lot of people don’t read the weekly articles, but I think the articles are helpful and I know some people love new recipes. Nice pic of the lake from your walk!
KELLY - I try not to do computer on weekends also - I do this on my phone 🤪 GFY 8 mi Thurs-Sat. That snow has to end one of these days! Hope your DH vax 2 works out tonight.
AMY - I hope your meal plan works well for you and can stabilize into a sustainable regular pattern. For me, it’s important to have a plan of balanced meals in moderate amount, with a some flexibility for special occasions, and stick to it rather than changing the plan often. Sustainable meaning I have a plan for different occasions, so I’m not going “off” and “on” my plan all the time, just sticking to a plan that has options built into it - a plan that work for me “for life” in more ways than one.
CAROL - thinking of you and Fred in your Yellowstone adventure 🤩🗻
Be well and take care, for ourselves, and for each other.

Good Morning!!
Stayed OP with eating yesterday. I add 1 mile WATP and 1 mile of moving in place during lunch. Fell short on my steps as had a headache last night after we finally got home from his appointment and grabbing supper. There was some more snow during the day yesterday. Thankfully it was clear by evening when I had to take DH for his shot.
Ridgerunner: You are doing great with your miles. Beautiful picture. My view has been snow covered for a while now.
Cait: You are on a roll with your good days. Great job on your walk and PT.
Amy: Good job on your plan for exercise. Try to work into the increased miles. I agree with Cait of having a plan with your meals. Adding some variety may make it more likely to stick. Trying to do the tuna one day, pasta another day, veggies and chick peas or lentils. Mix it up a little.
Waving to all. Happy Walking!!

Good Morning. I got up and walked the 6 miles yesterday. It was a little tougher than I was used to with the 357' elevation but what goes up, also comes down so it balances out. (That's about 3.5 flights of stairs I figure) 36 miles / 263 on the virtual John Muir Trail Amyrs: Way to go ! I don't lose ANY weight unless I walk. There's 170 cups in Cooked Rotoni Cait: You're so diligent ... I'm motivated by you. You do exercises other than walking which is the only time I'm moving as I should. Tickyboo: I took my DH for his shot yesterday also. Vaccine? Mine received his 1st yesterday. I was born and raised in SoCal and have only ever seen it REALLY snow twice in my life. It's beautiful, but not worth it to me. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLovyoIFOMc

KELLY - Yay, you, OP Monday and 2 mi. GFY finding a way to move during lunch. Glad your DH got his vax. Hope the headache is better. I remember you get some long lasting bad ones sometimes. AMY - I hope your exercise and meal plans are working well. RIDGERUNNER - I’m at 27.5/263.7 on JM Trail after this am walk. I’ve been inspired by CAROL to add more exercise than walking 😃 Also WW inspired me to be more consistent with the 50 pushaways - they had a Weekly Technique/article about creating microhabits. My PT exercises were prescribed for me in 2015 but I’ve only recently gotten back to doing them - aiming for once-twice a week. GFY with the 6 mi hike! Glad your DH got the vax shot. Here’s the WW article on creating a micro habit What happens to your body when you create a microhabit www.weightwatchers.com/us/m/cms/article/what-happens-your-bodywhen-you-create-micro-habit

Good Morning!!
Stayed OP and added 3 miles yesterday.
Cait: Doing awesome!! Keep it up. Yes, I use to get migraines often around that TOM. Fortunately, I have gone through menopause and rarely get a migraine. Now, it seems to be weather related.
Connie: Great job on your 6 miles.
Have a Great Day!!!

Good morning ! A little over 6 miles on that trail again. 6.1 miles yesterday so I am at 42.5 of 263.7 miles on the Virtual John Muir Trail. I'm 30 miles behind because of my late start so I need to catch up. Cait: You switched to Blue or were you on blue all along? At the moment my walking is forcing my movement. I am hoping to follow in your footsteps but just not motivated enough right now. Thank you for the microhabit link. Tickyboo: Thank you for the quotes. Great for you on the 3 miles ! Until tomorrow.

Someone on WW Connect posted this she got from another WW: “You can’t control the outcome. You can only control the process.”
Yesterday we walked 2 mi.
Be well and take care, for ourselves, and for each other.

KELLY - Yay, OP Tues and 3 mi. Wow that’s great you rarely get migraines now. I do remember they really hit you hard.
AMY - GFY getting back into exercise. I hope you can ease into exercise and only increase it a little at a time, to avoid risk of injury or burnout. Glad you got vax 1!
RIDGERUNNER - GFY with the 6.1 mi yesterday. I’m at 29.9/263.7 mi on JM Trail after this am’s walk. I have about 178/250 for the 250 Mi challenge. I’m doing the purple plan on WW. I switched from blue to purple soon after it was introduced. I post a blue dot for my healthy eating zone because on the WW app you have a blue dot on the food tracker calendar when you’ve tracked in your healthy eating zone. For me that’s 5-24 pts on purple. I know it seems confusing. Too many colors! But I’ve referred to my personal healthy eating zone as my “green zone of pts” for years and I don’t want to change it. It’s the same pts range as WWs blue dot. It I eat above it, I have my yellow zone, orange, and red zones. It’s my personal traffic light system. If I eat above my red zone of pts, I log it as “X.”
