I've had a pretty good week! Less hiking than usual because of heavy smoke from wildfires. But I love getting out when the wind changes and blows the smoke out of our valley! The photos are views of the Cascade Mountains, taken from the patio at Pine Martin on Mount Bachelor (in central Oregon). I took the ski lift up for a birthday celebration, but really enjoyed the opportunity to hike at the top. My friend who was celebrating his birthday volunteers giving geology talks on the mountain, and he shared his information with us in an impromptu mountaintop educational talk. Very fun!
I'm successfully (so far) breaking a craving for sweets. I overindulged a couple of times early last week. It makes me feel sluggish and slow to eat sugar and empty carbs. I've made a commitment to myself to try some new strategies, including walking before snacking, and always choosing healthier snacks. Very glad to be back on track. Cravings and past ingrained bad habits can blindside us! The trick is to stop the bad habit and move on.

Overall I followed my WW eating plan well. I tracked everything (on WW, not here), and stayed within my point range. I met my exercise minimum goals, but was only able to hike on the few days when the air quality wasn't unhealthy (heavy smoke here from wildfires). I'll keep on with my plan.

Enjoyed a great hiking vacation with friends. We stayed in a cabin at Cooper Spur on the slopes of Mount Hood (Oregon). Food worked out great, we cooked our breakfast and packed a lunch, and enjoyed dinners on the restaurant patio. LOVED the great hikes! Trails were challenging, because higher elevation, and lots of rocks, elevation gain and loss because, well, it's a mountain.
First photo is the historic Cloud Cap Inn, built in 1887 near Elliot glacier at about 6,000 ft. elevation. My favorite trail (Cooper Spur loop) started near here.

Well I have had to adjust my exercise and fitness plans. We have had heavy smoke and unhealthy air for the past 10 days. I'm in central Oregon (Bend), but much of the Northwest is affected. I am staying indoors and using my asthma inhaler.
My strategies for making it through this tough time include:
Indoor cycling. I bought the exercise bike for winter, but it is coming in handy during the air quality alert periods also!
Light weights and yoga in the living room.
The air quality tends to improve slightly (to "unhealthy for sensitive groups") for a brief period in the afternoon. If possible, I do a short neighborhood in the afternoon during the reprieve.
Healthy eating. No sense in aggravating the forced inactivity by binging on ice cream and cookies!
I'm leaving for a mini vacation with friends tomorrow. We rented a cabin on the slopes of Mount Hood (Oregon). We should be well above the smoke layer. I'm looking forward to hiking again!

I have continued to lose weight, but not at a fast rate. Still it is a relief to be off the endless plateau, and to be losing weight again. I have not been able to hike as much as usual, but I will continue to hike whenever the air quality is good enough. (We've had a lot of wildfires in Oregon, and the smoky air triggers my asthma)
I've continued to track my food and exercise regularly. I'm tracking those on the WW site because I'm following the WW program.
Here's a photo from yesterday's hike. Sparks Lake in central Oregon, with Broken Top in the background.
