I am back in Pa and ready to get back into my normal routine. Unfortunately my hip has been bothering me for a while, I think it is the same thing that I was going to PT for in my shoulder. I have been trying to do stretches for it and that helped but for some reason last evening and
night it was very painful. I didn't sleep well. I may have to break down and go to the doctor for it. I am not going to lie, the stretches hurt and I just can't imagine going to PT and having the therapist pushing at it. So I am avoiding it because I am scared. Lol! Today back to the basics-logging, w 64 oz water, 10k steps and 30 min exercise at the least. I have a lot of Easter goodies still around. My niece was horrified that I was going to throw them out. I explained why I needed to and she promised she would eat them. We also went to dinner the other night and I ordered gnocchi in some cheese sauce which was amazing. I was so proud of myself, I ate to satisfied and since it was so rich, I told the waiter I wouldn't be taking the rest home. She actually told him to "wrap it up, she will take it" and told me I could have it for lunch. I told her that it was a treat to have it at dinner and I wouldn't be eating it again. She took it for herself. Just incase you are wondering, she is thin. She is a vegetarian-no meat but eats crap and sometimes fruit and veggies. Hopefully she finds a place to live soon. She is very opinionated. I think I will be fine with the junk around if I don't let myself get too hungry, that is when I have problems. I am going food shopping today so I will have healthy food in the house.
@gingerpwr Sounds like a good day! I love Chicken Piccata!
@Julie8468 You have really been doing great! I will have to check out that app for the music. I am so bad with updating my play lists so I think I would do better with that!
@twyla77 Sounds like you got a great workout in even though it was tough. Looks like you are getting right back at it after all your trips and the holiday! Great job!
@hope002 Another amazing day!!1 -

@pacsnc6 I need to find a place to do water aerobics. I think that would be good for my hip.
@cyndiesstuff Hope your first day went well and you weren't too exhausted! I posted both Sunday and Monday's baseball scores to the Mod. thread. If I am supposed to do more with that let me know. I saw there was a link to write our team member's names in but it looked like it was all filled out already.1 -

Hello and happy Tuesday everyone. I’m at the LAX airport getting ready to fly home from visiting with my brother and his family. I haven’t gotten on a scale but I’ve been trying to really monitor my eating. And I didn’t have any sweets (still since November) which was a bit tempting over the holiday. I’ve learned not to say anything when offered desserts other than “I’m too full”. That ends the conversation. Food choices haven’t always been within my control since I was a guest here, but whenever possible I would choose healthy and not eat until I was stuffed!!
I have a few more trips coming up. Mackinac Island next weekend and then Las Vegas with some girlfriends April 30th. I love to travel but it does get me out of my eating routine. I guess that’s what life is all about. Learning how to have fun and not make my world revolve around food!!4 -
@sleepymom5 Yesterday morning I was feeling sore in my hips and it did feel better after water aerobics. I started going to the class a few years ago hoping to improve my balance - accomplished big time. I keep going because it helps with joint pain and for the social aspect too.3
-
@lennoncpa I am glad you are getting away and having some fun! Sounds like you did well at your brother's even though you didn't have much control over what you were eating. If you ended up not doing as well as you thought, think of what you could have done differently and make a plan for your other trips. Most of all, have fun!
@pacsnc6 Balance too? Wow! I really do need to find a class!2 -
I'm about to go play a few holes of golf... does that count as exercise? If so, I'll be able to record 2 hours for today.3
-
@GingerPwr I don't see why not. Golf is exercise.0
-
Had a wonderful run at lunch today. Managed to barely beat the heat by running at 11:00. My fastest time yet.3
-
@sleepymom5 .
Yes balance was my initial goal at the pool. You have to let the water hold you up and not fight it. The instructor told me several times I was getting much better. I go to the city's park & rec pool where they have classes every day. I go twice a week. Hope you can find a class.

Check in for: Monday
Logged: yes, under
Water: Lots, lost track
Exercise & steps: 4.5 mile hike with the fur-kids; 19,155 steps
Had a pretty good day yesterday. I've been feeling uninspired and disinterested lately. This was supposed to be "my" month. I should be in the 160's but I'm still bouncing around the 170's. I guess Hubby leaving to work in PA after being home 5 months straight affected me more than I anticipated. I got used to the guy being around LOL!! I should be used to it after all these years but I'm really hating this lifestyle at the moment and its not going to change any time soon. I try to imagine that someone would like to be in my shoes. I've been keeping up on posts but haven't felt I had anything worthwhile to contribute.
Eating has been pretty good the last few days. I'm putting gravel down on the paths between the raised beds in my vegetable garden. Its back breaking work but I hope it will cut down on the weeds and look nicer. I want to get it done before the weekend when rain is predicted. It feels good to have a project and be productive. Meals are planned out for the next few days and I'm going to try two new recipes... a chicken & asparagus farro salad and a mostly veggie pasta dish.
Thank you all for making this such a wonderful team!!4 -
@GingerPwr I should have added have fun! Hope the weather is as nice by you as it is here!
@Mrsbell8well What a beautiful day for a lunch time run! Congrats on your time!
@pacsnc6 You have gotten me really interested in trying it! I will let you know how I make out!
@nstephenson01 Your husband was home a long time so I do imagine it is hard to get used to him being away. When do you go for a visit? Sounds like you are keeping yourself busy in the mean time. Why don't you start making some new recipes from those books you bought a couple of months back? Maybe the nicer weather will help too. If it ever comes by you...I wish I had some great advice or something helpful to say. Sending hugs.

@nstephenson01 I feel the same way about my husband. I keep thinking I'll get more done without him around, but when he's gone I mope instead. Hope you feel more engaged soon!
@Mrsbell8well great time on your run! Congratulations on the PR!
Played 9 holes with the hubs for about 1 hour 45 minutes. Not sure what that is in baseball, but I'll also have a single for steps soon.
I'm sure I'm under on calories, and we decided to forego our post- round beer since I weigh in tomorrow.
Planning a hike with my sons tomorrow. Can't wait!4 -

@nstephenson01 having your husband gone for so long must be very hard on you. Do you set times to talk or text? Do you have a social outlet? Knowing you have dogs, is there a park or a class for the dogs where you can let the dogs play and have time to chat with others? I have a husband that is often absent, either working or off doing something else. So, I plan his trips away from the home with something I look forward to, but he doesn’t care about. On separate occasions, I’ve done day trips, redecorated, painted rooms, volunteered, de-cluttered the house (some items are still “in the basement” or mysteriously “lost”) and once just bought and ate a whole bag of peas for dinner! I don’t know, but I craved peas, he just couldn’t stand them, so we never had them in the house. I do miss the romantic side, but would binge watch romance movies, or movies I watched as a teenager whatever had a good ending.
I had to look up what “farro” was 2 -
GOOD EVENING
THE TIME HAS COME I WILL SAY MY LAST GOOD BYES TO MOM TOMORROW..... I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WILL REGAIN CONSCIOUSNESS.... THE CANCER HAS REACHED HER BONES AND HER BRAIN AND SHE IS IN EXTREME PAIN AND THEY HAVE UPPED HER MEDS TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE FOR HER. SIS IS DUE IN FRIDAY AND HOPEFULLY MOM WILL STILL BE HERE FOR SHAUNA TO SAY GOOD BYE.
I WILL BE HERE AS MUCH AS I CAN BE DURING THIS TRYING TIME. ALL OF YOU HAVE KEPT ME CENTERED AND IT GIVES ME SOMETHING TO DO BESIDE DOING A BEDSIDE DEATH WATCH. I HAVE DONE WAY TO MANY OF THOSE IN MY PAST.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND KINDS WORDS FOR MY FAMILY DURING THIS TIME. I DON'T THINK I COULD DO THIS BY MYSELF AND HAVING ALL YOU COVERING MY SIX WAS A GREAT RELIEF FOR ME.
MAY YOU ALL HAVE CALM WIND AND FOLLOWING SEAS

my day was crazy busy yesterday and when i got home i was just exhausted. fell asleep on the couch. i am almost caught up at work. by the end of today i should have everything under control. it sure does feel good to be super busy but coming back from a surgery where all i did was lay around for 3 weeks, has made it very difficult. i am thankful i have a desk job. i have not been able to read everyones posts yet but i will today. i am trying to catch up. i have been eating lots better. being back to work has helped. i go back to the doctor tomorrow. i need to find out when i can get back to regular exercise and sex! both are great stress relievers. i miss you all and i cant wait to catch up with all of you.
@sleepymom5 thanks for picking up my slack. and yes that is all you have to do for the baseball is post it to the baseball thread. the mods do the rest.0 -

Good day yesterday. Got a ton of steps in between walking the dogs and grocery shopping. I hit all my mini goals. Hip feeling a little better with heat, stretching and ibuprofen. Today I am going to walk again but probably not as many steps as I will be spring cleaning. I did have a plan for dinner but now no one is going to be eating dinner with us so I am probably having the left overs from last night. No reason not to be a good day!! This week I am concentrating on getting back into a routine. It is funny how quickly you fall out of your routine. I was really surprised about the water especially. I usually have no problem getting water in. Hope everyone has a wonderful Wednesday!!
@twyla77 You really have been kicking butt once you got home! You are doing amazing! I didn't know that Leslie did more than walking! I need to look into her videos more. I like going outside but at the shore I don't have the exercise machines I have at home if the weather is bad. Good luck with that push up challenge-you are going to do great!
@julie8468 Another awesome day! I am so glad that you are part of our team.
@Mrsbell8well You had such a big drop last week so I hope you aren't concerned about maintaining. You are doing awesome!! So busy and still taking time to take care of your health.
@Navydaddjtc You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers
@cyndiesstuff No worries about catching up, just take care of you. You really are still recovering so I am not surprised you are exhausted. I am glad to hear you are catching up with your work and things will get back to normal there for you. Hopefully the doctor will give you some good news with your activity level. I know you are ready to do more. Hugs to you my friend!
@Gingerpwr Awesome!! You have really worked hard and it shows!1 -
