💬Comments: This morning I decided I’d like to try out jogging, so I’m going for my first ever jog tomorrow. I really hope it’s something I can get into as I’d love to jog regularly to keep fit, and the fresh air will do me good. But, one step at a time...we’ll see how it goes tomorrow 🏃♀️3 -

Going through an IDGAF phase....
I have learned to manage my food intake better, when stressed, tired, bored, hungry, at parties, etc...
However. When I hurt, I go for whatever comfort is within reach. And that is usually food. Been dealing with back issues, and I am going to a chiropractor, but still hurting, and my nerves are all frazzled and my head is foggy... so I have been eating more than I should. And things that I shouldn't be eating. And I can't seem to care. In a few days (probably on weigh in day) I will get mad at myself for doing this when I could have had a loss. lol
I have literally been contemplating stopping for a slice of pizza to eat on the way home. On the way home!! To dinner! UGH. Completely senseless.....
Such is the cycle....

I can relate to this so much--- when I had my disc herniations--I went through such a depressed state--and the pain was continuous.... it really ruins you. I couldn't move, sit, stand, or lay down without pain. Took me months to heal (my back was really bad though---they wanted to do surgery on me). I hope you get some relief soon.
I do recommend the back stretcher device that my PT recommended to me (idk if you saw my post previously... it helps!).I still use it!

Ooh I wish I could jog/run...I love the idea of it!! And I'm always well jealous when I see someone swishing along. Good luck for your first jog tomorrow. I found the couch to 5k programme (it's a free app) really brilliant, if you're looking for some guidance and a well-paced programme to get you going.

I feel you sister. I have inflammatory arthritis in my spine and SI joints, as well as Degenerative Disc Disease and early onset osteoarthritis in both my knees...all well before I'm 40. The pain can be a real struggle and when everything hurts the impulse is to reach for the first, reliable thing you can count on to feel better...and the food is the habit. I've not yet found anything that brings me the same level of comfort...but then nothing else seems to make me feel as crap as when I seek food for comfort too. So sometimes I try to imagine my feelings later down the line.
It's a constant battle. And I'm sure you wish as much as I do that there was an easy way round it but I don't think there is. I think the key is that we don't let it turn into a long-term cycle. So it happened, but how can we not beat on ourselves so much that we don't dust ourselves off and carry on?
Big hugs to you...I hope the pain settles down soon xxx

50 minute workout in the AM. A guy was rude and hogging the cable machines which was annoying. Our gym is pretty small with limited equipment, so we're thinking about switching gyms. Kinda tired of an hour workout taking 1.5 hours to finish because of waiting on weights and bench 😒2 -

Exercise: Yes, 90 mins walking, 60 mins weight training--Snatch Push Press + 3 Overhead Squats, Snatch Doubles, and Clean + Front Squats--we went heavy on the Cleans and we were really happy with my performance today.
Comments: Feeling realllllly good this week, so much better than the fatigue I felt last week all my yard work and running around and still lifting. So glad to be getting caught up.3 -
@Fitness327wk Nice day!!
@Bm00re2u I hate people at the gym, well unless they're staring at me (because that's good for my ego) but yeah, they just hog machines and do literally nothing. So annoying. I would look into switching gyms, you might find something that has more equipment, which is always helpful. Good luck.
@lsjhudson You're doing great!! Sometimes it really does take effort to do the things we need to do, and I swear I generally feel so much better after I go and do it despite how little I wanted to do it. It's worth it!
@tinak33 I have low back pain from time to time with my weightlifting and I stretch it out and that helps a lot. And I see a chiropractor once a month for my hip/low back as that also seems to really help, but in the beginning it took a while for all of that to get straightened out so hang in there, it will get better!!
@o0kody0o That's really all you can do is take it one step at a time, I didn't do this much exercise or weight lifting in the beginning, I built up to it and fell in love with it, so you never know!
@SLIMn2016 You're crushing it every day!
And on a side note, I'm starting to like watching and editing my training videos, it's really encouraging to me to see my own progress and ultimately I figure I might as well share it! Hoping to teach myself how to add text to the videos so I can show the weight progression, but baby steps, it's a bit hard to self teach yourself how to edit your videos and do literally everything else you do at the same time.
@aadubb Great day!! I used to allow myself to go over calories if I exercised, that led me down a dark path so I sort of envy people who can do this and not go overboard.4 -

Calories under goal: A couple of calories over
Exercise: 12,100 steps
I have my WV trip coming up this weekend. It will be my first real test since starting my healthier living campaign last October. We are leaving Friday afternoon and coming back on Sunday. I plan to get my steps in Friday morning before I leave (most of them anyway). Saturday won't be a problem with steps. We will be touring the WV glass museum and the historic Trans Allegheny Lunatic Asylum. The old hospital is almost 1/4 long and has 4 floors....so lots of walking. I plan to make healthy food choices on my trip. This trip has been one of my goals for several months now. I'm excited to be mobile enough now to take these tours.

Hope you feel better. Migraines are no joke. I suffer from them also, so I know the pain. Thankfully with the right medication and better lifestyle changes (exercising more consistent and trying to eat better, getting better sleep) they’ve been much more manageable in recent years. Feel better0 -

I am not sure what is wrong with my mind recently!! I seem to alternate between a "yea, I got this" mindset (where, for the first time possibly ever, I really think that I will get the body I want - not if I get the body I want) and getting so frustrated with myself that i end up crying. When I started working out at the beginning of the year, I had so many goals that should have been achieved by now. I actually thought I had set some pretty good, realistic goals. And I've done great on the "action" goals - get my diet/nutrition on track, work out an average of 2-4 times a week, etc. But physically, I'm just not seeing the results. I think there are a lot of things contributing to that (most of which I can't do anything about, but a few I'm working on). And I know that the only option is to keep my head down and keep doing what I'm supposed to be doing (I mean, I've made it through the "hardest" part - new routines and new "norms" have been established - I am NOT stopping now), but man, I really wish my head would get on board with focusing on that (and the fact that my endurance and strength have both noticeably increased) and not on (for example) the stupid fat deposit right above my elbow that keeps me uncomfortable wearing anything with sleeves above my elbows.
Ok, sorry, rant/venting session over...for now!

Thanks!! They have the option of spending the night and having a "ghost tour" in the middle of the night. We all decided that we prefer the daytime tour just fine. Hahaha....
