@BoldBerry : have you tried taking a warm bath with epsom salt? I find it helps with muscle pain. Hope the pain passes soon!1

Tuesday check-in
Well, this was not a good day for me. I didn't track anything and I quite honestly don't know if close to my calorie goal, over, or well over. No exercise - ended up being an unplanned rest day. After a really awful night's sleep, I finally acknowledged to myself that I'm having an issue with my shoulder. I got an appointment with the doctor this evening, and she diagnosed as bursitis. Honestly it's been going on for months, possibly started last summer when I hyperextended at the ropes course, but got noticeably worse last week. So no lifting or swimming for at least a couple of weeks, possibly longer depending on what PT says. So I'll be running more, and hoping that my IT band doesn't flare up. I don't handle injuries well. I've gained about 20 pounds over the last few years, pretty much all during periods of injury.
Yep, I opened a bottle of wine tonight.3 -

I have heard bursitis is so painful!
Give yourself a couple of days to deal with the injury, come up with some options and keep on track with your plan. It’s 2019 and this year and this injury is going to be different! I know its easy for me to say but I have to say it because we are all here to support one another. You can do this!2 -
Tuesday Check In
Calories: if I am over its not by much but I am still anxious about my weigh in tomorrow. I don’t know why but I am just am
Exercise: nothing formal
Water: okay
Here’s how I did on my Goals for today:
1. Plan my food after I finish my check in✅
2. Drink one more thing of water at work (the thing is a big Starbucks reusable drinking cup I got in Maui)❌
3. Go to my chiropractor appointment (my self care for the day)✅
4. Get 1000 more steps in tomorrow than I did today❌
Not as great of a day as I was hoping for!! Lets try it again:
1. Plan my food in the morning
2 Drink one thing of Starbucks water
3. Treadmill workout in the evening
4. Get 1000 more steps that I did yesterday and today2 -
Hey steppers, it looks to me like we are short two competitors in the Step Challenge. I just looked at the spreadsheet, and some teams have 12 members, but we only have 10 listed on the January sheet. I'm not sure who is heading this up, but thought I'd bring it to the attention of the group.
Anybody want to join the step challenge this month? We need two more...0 -

My PF is flaring up-going to keep my activity down for the week
Mine has been bad too since starting these treadmill workouts. I bought some new her cushions yesterday so will try the treadmill tonight and see if they help. But maybe I am aggravating it?? I don’t know - still trying to figure it out.
Have you tried freezing a small bottle of water and then rolling your foot over it several times a day. It doesn't cure it but it does help
Ohhh. PF = plantar fasciitis. I had been wondering.
So, I had to deal with plantar fasciitis, and it does not bother me any more. I did daily stretching and changed the way I slept in order to make sure I was not flattening out my foot at night.
I have heard that the Strassburg Sock is a really useful aid to use while sleeping. Amazon carries them for about $40.
One more general thought -- be careful about compensating. If it is bad enough to cause you to carry yourself unevenly, consider slowing down enough that you can consciously carry yourself normally, so as to avoid other potential injuries.
I have heard that ultrasound treatments and laser treatments work well if you can find those services.TeresaW1020 wrote: »Username:TeresaW1020
Weigh in week: Week 2
Weigh in day: Tuesday
Previous Weight: 220.3
Todays Weight: 220.2
Well, it's going to be a long year if I only manage to lose 0.1 a week.
I’m telling you...it’ll come. Have faith. Have you been on WW Connect at all? I just saw a woman there who lost around 100 pounds I think it was who said she gained the first week.0 -

The important thing is that you try again. Won’t always be perfect. You have inspired me with your list.
I’ll jump back in the step challenge if you don’t get any other takers. I’m not stepping a lot but something is better than nothing.1 -
Tuesday check in....
Calories might have been over some. Wasn’t sure how accurate I was with my beef stroganoff. Man it was delicious. 😁
Water: Still struggling getting 100 oz a day but working on it.
Exercise: Squeezed a short workout this morning (cardio with some chest/shoulders/arms) in case I couldn’t get one in tonight. Good thing I did because tonight was a write off. Still managed 12,000 steps.
Goal for tomorrow: Better planning and tracking. 100 oz of water, Lower body strength training. Can’t wait for weigh in day. Pretty sure a lot of the Christmas weight is gone.2 -
Bit late for my check in as I fell asleep early last night (bliss!)
Cals: a little under
Water: around 2.5 litres
Exercise: 13,446
Was pretty achy after my yoga on Monday and also got a rubbish sleep which was disappointing (thought yoga would immediately make zen & peaceful, some chance haha)
@tess5036 your weight loss is going so well! Whatever you’re doing is working a treat, have you much more to go? Can’t remember your ultimate goal3 -

I do go on Connect and I like it. I really love transformation Tuesday. So motivating! I'm keeping the faith!
