@its_cleo It was. Oh gosh, that does sound awful! I totally get what you are saying: when I get home from work, I want nothing to do with my computer. I hope the next two weeks go smoothly for you. I love cheesecake! Today is indeed a new day.

@cbabie That sounds really nice to sit outside and enjoy the weather. I hope you got to do it yesterday. That's great you've been getting rid of the bad food. That will make it easier to make healthy choices. I am very happy with the surgery. There are definitely ups and downs but overall, I am happy. You are right, I do eat better because I am happy (and also because I'm afraid of pooping myself or barfing everywhere lol).

@theslightedgeforever Yay for exercise! What did you do? One thing at a time. You did it before, you can work your way back up to it again.

@fabgeekmom I think it has helped a lot. Yeah, I think I needed more sriracha. Thanks. I'm glad you got out of the house. Good job with the swim. That soup sounds perfect for a cold day.

Hi all. We went grocery shopping in the morning and then at 10, we went walking at the nature trail. It was HOT, 80F, but we did the walk. I almost made it the whole trail but it was so hot and I didn't want to go further than I could and have to have the ranger called lol. It was the furthest I've walked in about 3 years, we walked for a little over an hour. My knee was fine. After that, we came home and ate lunch, and then later went for coffee and walked around the neighborhood. It was a good day and it made me feel good that my knee could handle it.

Water yesterday: 30 oz

My phrase for the year: "A new era of me."

@trooworld that's a great walk! Looks like a great day. I'm jealous, I used to be able to walk like that.

@fabgeekmom honestly I think I use the stress as an excuse. It’s kind of like- oh I deserve cheesecake bc the week has been hard! So I need to challenge my thinking. Or also I could do better portion control and just have a tiny piece. It’s a work in progress I guess.

@theslightedgeforever thanks for checking in! I’ve been thinking of you after your surgery.

@cbabie I hope you get a chance to sit out at the table. I love peanut butter cups, too lol.

Not sure what I will do today- take it easy. I have tomorrow off, although I may work a couple hours in the afternoon depending how I feel. We have compressed work weeks, so if I work 9 hour days (instead of 8) then every third week I get a day off. So tomorrow is my earned day.

I’m a bit discouraged with calories/eating, and trying not to throw in the towel. Thursday I will make a better plan for Friday so I don’t go off the rails and order take out or something.
