I've discovered I am still in overachiever. I just read that the average person has gained 18 and a half pounds as a result of quarantining for the pandemic. I gained 27. I just can't seem to help myself when it comes to outdoing others. I hope my ...

I had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago. I was keeping track of calories, riding my bike every day and had established a strength training routine. Then Monday morning I was 3 miles into a...

I've discovered a senior citizens center here in San Antonio. There are several actually. The nearest to me has a pool and exercise programs. It's free and it's very near. They provide free transportation to and from my house. I think this exercise ...

9 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Holding my own, more or less. Not over stressing over the pounds, as long as it doesn't go higher. It kind of helps keep me on track because I have an ongoing goal, to get back to my goal. Had "spaghetti & meatballs" ...
