    I'm running 3 days (MWF) and walking the remaining days. Running anywhere from 3-5 miles and walking 5 miles. I'm going to start incorporating some body weight training (push ups, situps, pullups, etc.).
    Today is day 10 of 10k steps (well, I'm almost there, I'm at 9,349 and it's 9:00am, yeah, I think I'll hit 10k today LOL).
    I'm also doing another 24h fast today. I think today will be hard, I woke up hungry. Drank my coffee and water, did my walk, drank my LMNT and I'm still hungry. Oh well, I'll get some more water. I might take a tablespoon or 2 of coconut oil, shouldn't kick me out of my fast and may ease the hunger pains some.

    With my age and health problems, my health goals are essentially to wake up each morning and keep ticking.

    @Alanaana , I think in my life I have done 1 unassisted pull up LOL. I have always been overweight and weak. Now that I'm 50 I'm focusing on changing that!
    Today's weigh in, down another 3 lbs in the last week. Lets see if that continues with the addition of strength training. I need to update some body measurements (arms, waist, chest, thigh, etc.) I did them in Jan as part of a challenge but never followed up at the end of the month.
    Went out this morning and thought "I'm exhausted I'm just gonna walk today." I made it to the end of the driveway (about 50') and said "The hell you are, run you lazy ass!" and run I did. Slower pace for miles 1 & 3 but I did some interval sprints during mile 2, those always kill me.
    Well, I'm at 6k steps so far today, hoping I get my 10k in LOL.

    What a great weekend. Went camping with my wife (one kid was at camp with the scouts and the other was left home to tend to the dogs). Really enjoyed the relaxing weekend with just my wife. We did manage to walk one of the hiking trails at the state park, 5.8 mile loop, with some pretty good elevation changes. I managed just fine, wasn't too tire at the end, but my wife was totally exhausted.
    We enjoyed some chicken cooked over an open fire for dinner.
    Still hitting my 10k steps per day goal, in fact I walked 5.65 mi this morning and completed 10k before I started work! 14 days in a row.

    Me neck is getting better but it doesn't take much to wear me out especially outside work.
    Dumb or hardheaded like I am I've already popped a stitch or two and have been limited to staying inside and keep the grah-doo otta the wound. I'd like to go fishing?

    Popeye’s chicken sandwich is good. I’ll eat one once every couple of months or so.

    @Alanaana, all social media is addictive and it's designed to be so. How else are they going to sell ad revenue. I don't post a lot to my SM accounts, usually just use it to keep up with friends, family and various groups that have similar interests. I can go weeks without looking at SM and then I can't get enough of reading/watching the happenings of others.
    I'm still getting my 10k steps in (only 260 steps to go for today to hit my goal LOL).

    over the last 4 weeks my avg daily step count has finally made it over 10k, really hoping I can keep this going until at least May 17th that way I hit my 30 day goal of 10k steps/day. I'm going to need a new pair of shoes pretty soon LOL.
