    Didn’t get a very long walk in yet today. My shoulder is really painful today and little movement of my arm causes the pain. I phoned my rheumatologist yesterday to see if they could try another cortisone shot but she is on vacation until next Thursday. Hopefully, she will do one again and it works this time. Has anyone had a rotator cuff injury and an inflamed bicep tendon? Do you have any suggestions to relieve the pain. I want to start lifting weights and I can’t until this settles. I do start physical therapy next week.
    I don’t have any experience with a rotator cuff injury but I do get inflammation from lupus. Does your rheumatologist have you on an anti-inflammatory? I take diclofenac sodium for my inflammation (usually my in my hip flexors) and it helps some.

    I’m so sorry for you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 for no surgery needed.

    I have rheumatoid arthritis and sjogrens. Sjogrens is an autoimmune disorder also. I do take Celebrex and I take plaquniel. I take another also but my meds are in the kitchen so I am too lazy to get out of bed and look. This is my shoulders is more a mechanical malfunction than my arthritis or sjogrens causing the problems. Maybe the PT will help this time. My daughter said I should try acupuncture and see if that helps. Maybe she can put me on a different anti inflammatory.

    Thanks

    No he is no longer in this particular group. He left a few months back as he wanted to try something new with a few of his teammates. I’m hoping one day he decides to join us again ❤️

    Thursday’s check in
    Calories: over

    Steps 7/30 8,927

    PW 198.4
    CW 201
    LTD 61.8

    Last night I ended up binging so my weight is up this morning. I am sad to see my weight go over 200 again and finish the month with a gain. The good news is a new month is beginning. I am going to get focused on the prize and have a better month.

    My walk is done this morning. I sucked up the shoulder pain and got it done. I should have went and done my walk outside as it was a little cooler this morning. I was just lazy and didn’t want to leave the apartment. Once It cools off again, I am going to start doing my longer walks. I want to see if I can get to an 8 km walk before the snow and ice start.

    Happy FriYAY!

    Today’s goals
    1. Walk 30 minutes minimum ✅
    2. Walk 10,000 steps
    3. Stay within calorie goal
    4. Drink 8 cups of water
    5. Bed by 11:30 pm

    Weigh In Day: Fridays
    PW (Previous Weight): 190lbs
    CW (Current Weight): 193lbs
    LTD (Loss to Date): 56lbs

    Steps: My Fitbit broke so I have not a clue!

    I’m officially at the beach and will take a break from logging and checking in for the month of august - not strictly but I need my mind to rest, I’ve completely messed up my July because of the pressure I put myself under. Focus will be on NSVs such as drinking water, moving, sleeping better - baby steps right?
