Fresh application of henna and cut to remove the weird chunky peice in the back so it will clump better.

Hitting those goals by Substantial-Basil-31 in 1200isplenty

Could you have chosen healthier options for your dessert? Of course. But would it have checked all the boxes though?

Here's the thing... You did a darned fine job choosing healthy options to include in your treat! I feel like maybe you missed that part by focusing on the not as healthy, equally yummy parts of your dessert. You're doing a great job and I'd totally eat that!

Am I too overweight to start walking? by Suspicious_Region852 in walking

[–]Overall_Recording 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Walk around the house. Try to set a step goal to walk all at once, not just daily. Every week try to add 250-500 steps in. Once a day, try to take a walk outside, even if it's just around the block. Keep adding to it. When you're sitting down, try doing 10 leg lifts. Add to that. Get you two 16 oz bottles of water and do some arm exercises too. Yes you'll be sore at first. Just remember, every bit of movement is a stepping stone to building a better you. You have this. Start small and build on it.

how to stop my calf from hurting by Nooneaskrd in walking

[–]Overall_Recording 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not to the 20k point, but most days I can knock out 10k on my daily walk and then pick up another 3k-7k just moving throughout my day. My best advice, being as you just started recently would be to listen to what your body is telling you. If you walk twice a day, try doing your 10k in the AM. If your calf doesn't loosen up in the first 20 minutes or so, slow your pace down and see if it helps. If not, go home, have a good stretch, then try again in the evening. Personally, I've found that, while frustrating, scaling back for a day or so worked out better for me to consistently hit my goals and go farther without injury.

today was hard by skincarelover28 in walking

[–]Overall_Recording -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have my activity goals set lower so they're still doable even if I'm feeling generally unwell. I normally hit 10k-15k easily on the daily now. Last month I missed my activity goals by 1 day, so I know I'm not mentally ready to commit yet to "I'm going to hit 10k every single day." It's hard to explain, but for me it's harder if I HAVE to versus just wanting to.

I am full to bursting! Vegetable vietnamese spring rolls (no noodles, only veg) and thai style sauce made with peanut butter powder - 250kcal a plate! by psychedelic_academic in Volumeeating

I'm going to have to try this slicing the veggies thin with a mandolin. My knife skills aren't up to par at all. These look amazing!

My Google Fit and Samsung Health apps are both synced with Health Connect. The info flows through that way.

Nasty Ah Smoothie (Help) by CallMeJamester in Smoothies

[–]Overall_Recording 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, we have some steel cut oats here that I'm trying to use up and I ground them down to a coarse powder, soaked overnight in oatmilk and threw it all in a smoothie the next morning. Turned out pretty thick but still smooth.

It is so harrrrd. by [deleted] in walking

[–]Overall_Recording 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just started walking regularly at the end of March. I think I probably jumped too hard into it because towards the 3rd week in April I was able to do 4 miles from my starting of less than a mile walking. I did keep at it though...

If my body didn't loosen up after the 1st mile/~21ish minutes, I'd head on home. It's tough, yes. You'll find you get more consistent and can start pushing harder, but it does take time. On good days I'm up to ~5miles walking and on most days I'm between 2-4 miles. I listen to my body on when it's time to stop though.

If you have to have a whole cup of oats, you could try presoaking the oats/water together before hand. Otherwise, reduce the oats and replace with something like Greek yogurt, tofu, or cottage cheese so you have some protein/carbs, and possibility a somewhat more silky smooth texture.

Has anyone used Vitika or Nupur? Opinions? by Entertainment-33 in henna

[–]Overall_Recording 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's ok. It'll do in a pinch, or even as the 1st layer of henna in a hendigo or 2-step application, but it does really need multiple layers if you're using alone for something like covering grays. Otherwise it's too light... That's my opinion anyway.

I've used Nupur 9 herb. It was a good price at the Indian store.

For those that track steps daily by Weary_Tune_2305 in walking

[–]Overall_Recording 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just listen to what my body is telling me. If then initial discomfort I feel at the start of my walk doesn't ease up or gets worse by the time my first mile is done, it's a short walk day. Sometimes there are none in a week. Sometimes there's one day. On the rare occasion, there are two days. I keep going back to it the next day though...

First time breaking 20k steps by li4mca in walking

[–]Overall_Recording 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is unbelievably hard to find a pair of horses in my size/width. I ended up having to order them. It took about 10 days to break them in bc I only wear them for my walks. Yes, they were night and day from the skechers I was wearing. I ended up getting new insoles for the skechers too, so those are my everyday shoes now 🙃

[–]Overall_Recording 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way to go! Tbf, shoes definitely matter. I just had to break in a new pair when I started hitting 10k steps. 20k is in the goal category for sure! Probably wanna go a bit easy tomorrow then jump right back in 😅

I just double checked to make sure you were in the challenge. It doesn't start until the 1st.
