I started my fitness/fat loss journey a little over a week ago. I have been a yo-yo dieter my entire adult life (since I was 17). I am convinced that things will be different this time around. I have an online fitness coach and have been using MFP to track my calories/macros religiously. I binged twice but learned from it. I upped my good fats/protein and calories by 500 (I was radically undereating). I am really excited about the upcoming journey. Every day I feel happy and positive: no "Oh no, I have to go on a diet" thing
or "I'm a flabby slob, why am I so ugly". I wish everybody the best regarding their own personal goals.
Thanks for the Easter greeting! Anyone having ham today, lol.3 -
Happy Easter, Missy and all.
It’s been a gorgeous weekend and I’ve been out a lot, with the dogs and/or my sons. All the activity is exhausting, haha, so worth it. I’m reading a lot too and enjoying Spring Break.
I’m down another lb—6 in 2 mo. Slow but it’s encouraging.
I called Friday to get a referral for double knee replacement, so that may be in the not too distant future. Ugh.
Hope you are all doing well. TTFN.

Good evening,
The church I attend has a sunrise service for Easter, so it has been a long day.
Between early and regular service I walked the parking lot - dull but got decent steps.
Back to work. I find I like to hide if I have a day off or long weekend.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.2 -
Hey Y'all~~
I hope you all had a good day today. It was beautiful in NC.
Time to go to bed.....

I am packed and leaving for my two-week adventure with my bestie from college. I will be seeking out fish and plenty of veggies and not so much with the sweets.
Have a great day everyone 🌼

Have fun on your trip Lana! Sounds like a great time and plan.1

Hi all. I’m back from a lovely visit with my daughter and her son and boyfriend. That baby is too precious for words.
Back to the grind tomorrow. I’m begging to wonder how I can do this for another 5 years.
Pic for attention.

Good evening,
I am sorry it has been a week. Week itself has been so disconnected. Work is just stupid.
I got my hairdresser to offer free haircuts for people at my church over 70 men/women so her sisters can get practice on non Korean hair. People leave their hair when $$ is tight.
Soccer soccer and more soccer, eye candy for me and that is always a good thing.
Lana enjoy your adventure somehow we get more steps in. No guilt.
Boss has bangs now so the "bang war" is on!!
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.1 -
"Work is stupid." Sara, I know the feeling. I'm so tired today--I think it's allergies and I need a higher dose of my medication, plus I've been completely forgetting Fluonase. My brain is having trouble keeping up with my mouth at school. Can't think of what I'm trying to say.
Beautiful here, though, and nice to see the kids.
Mostly, I think I just hate waking to an alarm.
how is everyone? Lana, where are you traveling?1 -
Looking for a MFP community, motivation, inspiration and accountability partners. Please add me if you are also ✨1

Happy Eclipse Monday!
I couldn’t get pictures of eclipse but did see it! Was cool to see even though I wasn’t in an area for 100% totality. It go hazy though. Maybe next one I will conveniently plan a trip for the next one.

Hi, all. Welcome @Chloe2181
Missy, nice pic.
I stayed home from work today. Drove straight to clinic after work yesterday, I felt so poorly. Provider did a breathing tx that helped a lot and loaded me up on allergy stuff/rx. Inhaler, a 2nd allergy pill to take with the one I already take, and fluonase. I woke up feeling so tired and ill, and knew I needed a day of rest. So hard for me to do. But I’ve napped off and on and still don’t feel energetic, but at least not as awful as before. Lost my sense of taste and smell, but no Covid (I’ve always lost smell/taste with colds, and I did test for Covid).
Anyway, I’m hoping to feel well enough to work tomorrow. Sitting around doesn’t suit me — makes me feel sore and apathetic, even if I need it. Can’t wait to have some energy. I’ve been dragging for a few weeks now.
I hope everyone else is feeling great and ki look forward to joining you.3 -
Hey Y'all~~
Just a quick check-in.
Sara - I hope work gets better somehow.
Maureen - Sending good vibes to feel better very soon.
Welcome Chloe and waves to Missy!!!!

It’s a google pic lol 😂 unfortunately the area I was in it wasn’t like that.1 -
Missy, google pics are fine. The more, the merrier.
I’m finally feeling better—yesterday was exhausting. I got in a bit of a jog today, which is nice but with my bad knees, it is really hard. The only thing more difficult would be not running at all.
Now I’m just waiting for bedtime, haha. Tired from the work out, which is much better than being tired bc of illness.1 -
Happy almost Friday,
Saw eclipse on TV at lunch here at work (nice big tv screen). On our dept chat board, I posted that it is not often I get mooned at lunch. Took awhile for that one to register. Just rolling my eyes.
Week has been above average in the insane dept at work. Focusing on sleep and the colors of Spring and the squirrels and other animals I can see.
I have been trying (though not always) to get 7k this week. Wednesday I had off and did so little I wont even tell you my step count.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.

It's 4PM right now, and I am Hungry, Angry, and Tired. Dinner isn't for another 2 hours?
Time to scrounge for fruit and other snacks.

Lana, are you still traveling?
I made a mistake Saturday that cost me the day on Sunday. I had really bad heartburn and chugged some Milk of Magnesia (thick) instead of Pepto-Bismol. I know the difference, but I didn't think the amount I drank was enough to cause a problem.
It was, I had to spend all day Sunday inside and near a bathroom.
But it is so gorgeous here this week that I'm able to enjoy the time I missed outside. I ran Saturday and Tuesday--and am scheduling what I hope will be bilateral knee replacement for this summer.
I'm getting better at eating a bit less again; it's taken 3 years, haha. But at least it seems to be happening. And I'm down 7 lbs from when I started. It's been almost 3 months but that's not too bad given I had the calorie counter set for .5 lbs a week.
I hope y'all are doing well. Toodles.

I just moved my goal to 1 lb a week. Surgery scheduled for 7/17 tentatively, right knee. I’m still going to try to get it switched to bilateral. But it might not happen that way.

A tough short jog, and now I’m about to cough up a lung. How long does it take for allergy mends to kick in any way? It’s been 10 days and my head doesn’t feel clear and running shouldn’t make me cough like this. Blah.
A gorgeous day and I’m looking forward to the Highland Games here. Should be fun.
I am not exhausted for the first time in like 6-8 weeks. I went to even earlier than my 7:30 bedtime, fell asleep pretty quickly, and slept about 9 hours, waking before my alarm. Fatigue is also one of my main allergy symptoms. So it felt good to get the rest. I hate being awakened by an alarm.1 -
Good evening,
Work is insane and we are up to our eyeballs in "so much fun".
I am taking the time to get my 7k so that my wayward eating is balanced a little.
Lana I hope you found some snacks.
Wishing all a good night. Stay safe and sane out there.0
