I and not going to lie, those of you who know me know my favorite word is fu&$k. Yesterday and today I've been having these sudden sharp shooting pains coming out of nowhere on this shoulder! I'm fine then suddenly it hits me and then it's gone. I have no idea what motion I am doing that makes it happen. This is getting bad.
I'm sorry to hear that. Praying for relief!
Joyce - (((hugs))) hang in there.
Katla- have fun getting ready for your trip. I'm glad you're planning on checking in.
Vicki- you sound busy!

What works for me when I am tempted to eat outside my boundaries (I.e. Not planned meal or snack time, or no calories left) is to find the emotion, situation, or attitude that fits best and work through the questions in my app called I Deserve a Donut. It's a spiritual thing, so might not work for some, but it is powerful for me.0

Katla - thank you for the kind words. Are you driving to CO? Where does your DD live? My oldest daughter is in Parker CO, just south of Denver.

Hi all! Marking my place while I wait for my grocery delivery by Katherine. She is picking up a couple of things for me before she goes to work. I'm hanging in here. Some days are fairly good and others are the opposite.
I am caught up with reading and have sent each of you good wishes as I read your posts. Now I need to find a recipe for roasted brussell sprouts--I've never had fresh ones before...

Good afternoon everyone! It seems that my post yesterday didn't show up, so I probably didn't hit the post reply button. Oh well. I do that sometimes.
Hubby and I went to Joplin yesterday evening and FINALLY bought a new bathroom scale. Sadly though, we seem to have gotten one that is defective. It reads a full five pounds more than the old one. Just to prove it, I weighed myself at the Y in my clothes this morning, then rushed home and weighed myself on the new scale. I couldn't believe it! The scale at the Y is defective too! What are the odds that hey would both be off by five pounds?!
We are at the lake tonight. I have pork roast in the oven for dinner, and will make some sweet potatoes sautéed in olive oil for myself and cheesy grits for hubby. He won't eat sweet potatoes.
So, nothing to ramble on about. I hope you are all having a great weekend.

Katiebug I'm going to see if I can find that app. Thank you
Sylvia Thanks for the laugh. I needed that.

For whoever asked me if I liked the Charge HR better than the Fitbit Flex, the answer is "Yes, indeedy." The HR stands for "heart rate," which is important to me for a couple reasons... my mother's seven heart attacks and death from a stroke being foremost. I paid about $90 for the Flex (I think they're at 75 now) and $137 for the Charge HR.
One improvement from the Flex, I can press one button to tell it I've started exercising, and another to tell it I'm done, and I get the first readout you see below, showing me average heart rate, calorie burn, all of it. I compete against myself, and no one else... trying to be better, faster, stronger than yesterday, so it suits the way I think. On the Flex, you have to get your readout before exercise and after to get your measurements right.
The second image shows the main dashboard, or part of it, anyway, with all the recent exercise, as well as sleep measurements, and yes, I did sleep well last night, best in a long time.
The other appeal of the Charge HR for me, it knows when I'm sleeping... I had to tell the Flex I was going to sleep, and then tell it I was up... by tapping on it about five or six times. Sufficent vibration (like pushing a grocery cart across a parking lot) and it would go to sleep on me.
Charge HR also counts flights of stairs, with an altimeter, so the running I do uphill counts for more calories than it does with the Flex, which it should.

Well nice news today. One of my TOPS ladies called me and said she had some clothes that have gotten too big for her, and asked if I wanted to look thru them. So out of the bag I picked out some cool jeans, two shirts, I fleece vest, a fleece zip up robe, and a dress. How cool is that? Most of the time that is how I purchase my clothes, and trade-ups, and from Goodwill. I don't see the reason to pay for full price when you are "in transition". Except when I bought my wiggle dress, and shoes! Its nice to treat myself once in awhile.
Yesterday I cut into my first big tomato from my garden. It was a beauty!
I was in heaven!

FYI these cookies are really good! Granted they are geared to kids, but I rec'd a little box from the food bank, and you don't taste the healthy stuff like sweet potatoes. They are sweet like the animal cracker boxes we know and love. Check them out!

Hot and Humid here in the Northwoods. I walked 3 miles with my dog, Jake. We were both just spent when we got back home. Can I just say, this week I did great on my nutrition and exercises and this weekend....I'm eating all the wrong stuff. And surprisingly, I have a headache and feel pissy with that junk in my system....

@pwrfl1 Great job on the long walk! It's sometimes difficult to pre-plan what you eat sometimes, but it pays off in the long run. I have many mini plastic containers in the freezer and frig to prove it :-) I think of the pre-planning of my pantry (say that 5 times fast) as just getting my troops in order for the war over my fat. Food preparation is as important as the meal itself. Just get back into the chopping mood girl! lol Get as serious as you are with exercising as with your food prep. You got this!
