    Hi everyone,
    My weigh in on Wednesday was 193.3 which is technically down a wee bit from last week. I'll take it. It could be a fluke or perhaps, a trend. That's what I'm aiming for!
    Steps 12/8 3,200; 12/9 2,280; 12/10 2,073; 12/11 2,550; 12/12 2,722; 12/13 1,377; 12/14 2,230
    My semester work is done until the middle of January! Now to get on the stick with the rest of music preparation for concerts next weekend (12/20 and 12/21). I've sung with Full Circle for 29 years. E-gads, that makes me feel old!
    Both of my daughters visited between last and this week (different days) and I'm pleasantly worn out. Tomorrow will have some more walking, giving a massage, and attending uplifting musical services. I look forward to spending more time with you all. Have a good night!

    All right! Down a half pound - not to sneeze at, not at all. Thanks for checking in, and hoping to see you both in person and here! WTG

    So good to see you - I'll bet it has been crazy, but we get it. I'm sure you'll be able to fill us in soon. Take some deep breaths, enjoy something beautiful, and don't get discouraged, ok? You'll get back on track!

    Hiya!
    I'm still a bit fuzzy on how to be sure you're seeing my posts. Did you get my weigh-in for this week? 193.3 makes me sound like a radio station
    thanks for the reminders and all. I plan to be online more often to keep up with everyone.
    if there're tips and tricks you recommend for me to figure this out a little faster, it might help. thanks!
    have a good night.

    Lots of fluid retention this week. At one point, I had hit 349 during the week. Thank God for my diuretic blood pressure pills and drinking lots of water.😃

    Saturday was horribly painful. Pain meds didn’t touch anything until about 5pm. Then by 8 I was out. Another pain pill around 11p and slept until 4a.

    That felt so good!

    20steps yesterday. Mine don’t need to count. Just a funny number.

    Today we have church. Prince Charming thinks we can go to Walmart. Oh, and we found a used Scooter 🛴 !!! I’ll Ikr that once I’m not doubled over in pain from my ankle. Totally afraid to move some times.

    Wish I could stretch. Maybe later today.... but really I haven’t felt like moving.

    I’m watching my portions. Getting in 72+ water. I Might get coffee today!!!!
    And I have no desire to move.

    Prince Charming has now had 2 days of what it’s like to be the meal prep coordinator in the house. I have to say, he isn’t too fond of it. He will ask me, what’s for supper? And I’m like, no clue, what do you feel like cooking. It is amazing how much thought you have to put in daily to “what to cook”.

    Okay, I’m going to try to move. Wish me luck.

    Good morning!
    @Shexio - great to hear you're hanging in there. I hope the pain stays under control and you can enjoy some coffee.

    @evelynladams527 you did right and I got your radio frequency! All set until next Wednesday.

    @evangsimmons170 - thanks! I hope your water recedes and you are feeling better - hugs flying your way :heart:

    There's a blizzard-like storm this morning with wild winds and snow. I'm hoping the internet will keep going until tallies are done...

    Done!
    Well, our team did not do too stunningly well this week, but your team captains and motivator all hit the top 3! It maybe shows that having to get in here and post often helps :wink:

    Congrats to top 3!

    I'm sure that the step numbers will tell a great story - be sure to put them in, however modest they may be!

    Great job on the steps! You had to go and mention mulled wine, though. There's a blizzard out there, well, at least a super windy day with intermittent wild bursts of snow, and some mulled wine would be really fine on a day like this! Luckily, I am NOT going anywhere off the property today, so I guess I'm safe. A girl can dream, though, right? :blush:

    I need some help from anyone who loves to use the elliptical machines at the gym. Why do my toes goes numb after 5 minutes? Are there any tricks to prevent this?

    That's an interesting one. Are you keeping your weight mostly on your toes? On your heels? Are your shoes too tight :lol: ?

    I am sure my sister will have more ideas about this than I do @evelynladams527 . She knows this kind of stuff well! I get numb toes because I have Morton's neuroma - the nerves between the toe joints (at the ball of the foot) have growths around them and the nerve gets really weird. I have them on 3 different joints - is your numbness on all the toes or only on the 3rd or 4th toe (or both)? If it is only on those, you might have neuromas too. They are quite common, and I have had good luck with a combination of custom orthotics (there are some OTC ones too if custom is too costly) and extra wide very flat shoes. There are some great foot exercises to relieve the pressure in the joint too. And stretch your calf muscles and tendons a LOT!

    I'm really curious what others have to say on this one...

    Happens to me a lot. It's a weight distribution thing. You tend to step forward on the balls of your feet on ellipticals, which cuts circulation to your toes.

    Few things that help: try to sit back a bit and put more of your weight on your heels when you step down. This is better for your knees and ankle strength anyway. Pick the weight all the way back up off your foot when you step on the other one. Also try compression socks and loosening your shoes a little bit to help with blood flow.

    Padded shoe inserts, like gel pads, can help with weight distribution also. :)

    Whew! I just got in from a walk out in the wild wind - it has been snowing most of the day and it's blowing like crazy, but it was fantastic up in the woods where we live. The wild turkeys had been scratching around but most of the usual animal tracks were scarce - I think everyone is holed up for the day. Enjoy the end of your weekend, everyone.

    Here are today's weigh-ins:
