It was a good day, I ate well and got some exercise. I walked about half of last weeks hike in the new boots, and I did weight training. Defrosted the peaches and had some for after dinner snack, they were good.
Not sure about the waiting for the Angles part, but its what I could find.
That does sound good, and a bit fancier than mine. I have been thinking about trying the cold oats thing.
So am I, and they were great. Thanks for the idea.
Thanks LaMa, it feels good.
Oatmeal - porridge, seems we are separated by a common language!
Thanks, I am breaking them in a bit, the boots and my feet.

I missed your entry yesterday but this sounds so nice!
Awesome Rob!
And nice to hear that you had another great day today

I usually heat mine up in the microwave, sometimes after I add the fruit, sometimes not, but I usually have them hot.

We call the cold ones overnight oats as it’s made the night before and left In a sealed jar overnight . My kids make it for themselves with oats yoghurt, linseed , fruit milk . I personally don’t enjoy oats unless in a granola
years of being made to eat it as a kid.
Sounds like a great day you had Rob

It was a good day, I ate well, exercised, and feel good.
I did the hike up the hill again, got a little farther, not much, than last week. According to Google I walked about 1,600 meters up, with a rise of about 130 meters, an average slope of about 8%, then I walked down. I wore my new hiking boots, that helped. I still have a long ways to go to get to the top, but at least I have started. And there will be snow on the upper part for a few months yet so I can keep working up to it. I sure would like to be able to make it to the top by the end of summer, we'll see. This is the walk I can do from home.
Where I turned around today, my house is in the valley below.
Where I want to go, to the top.

Yes, it was nice. I am trying to ride the bike at least once a week, more if I can.
I will have to try that, I like hot oatmeal.
Thanks TM, it felt good.
Thank you Petal, it was.
Yeah, I am happy about that. You don't cure arthritis, but making the leg muscles stronger lessens the effect.
Thanks Emily, I am trying to get in at least 20 minutes of exercise everyday. Most days more. So far so good.
That sounds like a great goal. To see where you are aiming for, to get a little closer each day...and all done in good outdoor air!
"To the top" meaning to the high still-snowy part on the right? It looks like an exhilarating walk! And if you give us photos of the changing view as you go, a little bit higher each time, it'll feel as if we're going with you, seeing a little bit more each time. Is that the plan? It sounds fun!

Ok, I am going to give it a try. Just had a larger than normal bowl of breakfast cereal. I will try upping my minimum to 1,200 calories today. Thanks for sticking with me.
Yes, but not before the snow melts. Its about another 1,000 meter elevation rise, no small challenge.
Yep, that's my current plan.
It should be, but so far I have been turning around short of the snowline, but its still winter we will probably get more snow, even at the house.
Yes, but right now I am only doing the hike once a week or so.

Increasing your calories just that little bit, but maybe upping the protein a little too should help with cravings. I really admire you for what you have achieved Rob & I understand your fear of eating more. I'm confident that you will be able to work out maintenance if you slow things down a little soon.

I was a good day, I ate well, exercised, and feel good. I did a weight training session and got 40 laps on the bike. Went out to dinner and did fine.
Thanks LaMa, so am I.
I know its not rational, but I do have that fear. I am now trying to eat about 200 calories a day more than I have been. I think it will be ok.

Me too xoI always feel a bit of relief when i see that you're eating more
I love your positive posts and your enjoyment of life
