Daily check in for Feb. 15
logging - yes (but over - hasn't been so in ages!)
steps - 6601
Tried to walk yesterday and only managed 30 minutes due to nerve pain in my foot. I feel frustrated that I am not getting better and losing confidence in my physio. I will give her another week or two and if there is no improvement I'm changing my physio...
I was down yesterday and I drank alcohol. As a result of drinking I was over my calorie budget. I wouldn't have been find had I not drank cider.
Anyway, still feeling down, but I'm back on the saddle and getting it done. The weather is really cold, windy and snowy. Not sure I can face it and that says a lot! LOL
I hope everyone has a good day. The February blahs are getting to me!3 -

Really happy to be outta my funk. Sure I'm not loing 4-5lb a week but I expected that to slow down! I just don't like it lol.
Curry tonight as a late valentines/celebration for midterm/kinda celebration for getting under 300lb! Haha
Have a good day all xx6 -

50 minutes strength training at moderate intensity.
@heatherbluebell you are so dedicated to walk outside today in 30 below weather. It's 25 below here and won't reach zero for two more days and I'm exercising indoors.
@363days thank you for the article on emotions and yoga.
@azkunk You can lose 50 by 50 and you have the skills to do it.
@Tazaria87 boxing sounds like quite a workout and it's great that you can share it with family.
@lelbarou glad to hear that your back and foot are responding to PT. I love your nsvs!
@iradi8 it is definitely a tricky prospect to turn down food when it's given to show love.
@lindamtuck2018 it's good to listen to your body and take a break when you need it.
Signed up for aqua aerobics today Will meet 2x a week starting in March. Am getting a lot of pushback from my mother because I will be missing church and bible study. Will still be doing daily devotionals and contributing money. She has never accepted me for who I am and she likes to shame me about everything from my body, housekeeping skills to my spending habits It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't live with her but I would be very lonely if I moved out.
Moms! I have one and am one, haha. It is very hard to overcome the self-talk that comes with hearing criticism from a loved one and there are "tapes" lodged in places that I didn't know existed. Have you heard of morning papers? It is a method where you write 2-3 pages when you first wake up in the morning to get all of the subconscious things out of your mind. You don't even think about it, just write and write. I've done it off and on over the years and was thinking about doing it again. I've noticed that I've had a lot of fear from caring for my mom, and seeing the dementia and lack of power. You are awesome and are such a strong person.2 -
@icfa5317 - I'm so glad you mentioned the the things you put on your shoes! I bought some quite some time ago for hiking and have never used them. I echo your feelings about the cold and the snow. Last night I put my dog's jacket on him, just to let him outside to pee, and when I opened the door he ran as fast as he could to his bedroom! I didn't make him go out.2

@lelbarou February funk is in Tulsa, too. I've been having a virtual vacation through the internet - reading books and ...eating ice cream. I agree that it is hard to have bad weather in the middle of already having Covid. And what's up with this wind???? I hear ya, girl!
@littleflutterby way to go!!! I hope you enjoyed your celebration - you have achieved a lot.1 -

@Beautyofdreams
That is great you are going to do aqua fit. You are the second person to mention going this week. It is a fun way to exercise. It is hard dealing with someone that doesn’t accept you for who you are. With my Mom, for every negative thing she says I try to rephrase it in my mind as a positive. It is hard sometimes. I really like @363days suggestion of the morning papers.
@lcfa5317
Nice loss! I hope this winter ends soon. My favourite seasons are spring and fall. Not too cold or hot.
@dutchrower
Awesome loss!
@Z10Rtza
Nice loss! How is school going?
@lelbarou
I feel for you with nerve pain. It is one of the worst pains I have experienced. I hope the physio starts to work for you. I would also advocate for yourself to the doctor if physio is not helping. I know last week you broke your walks into shorter ones. Can you do this again? It is time for winter to say goodbye.

@363days - Thanks as always for your kindess. I get you! It's tough all the way around, especially with cray cray Covid! I'm getting busy with work and that's clearing my funk! LOL
and THANKS to everone about the shout out regarding recent loss and making the leader board for the team challenge. WHOOP WHOOP!
@lindamtuck2018 - Thanks for your support as well. Yep. I won't continue with this physiotherapist if I don't see changes soon! I could also break down walks. Thanks for the reminder! And have a good day! If possible! (crazy weather!)2 -

The water weight has barely budged this morning. I did drink lots of water yesterday and will again today. I am hoping to move more today and that may help. I did one mini walk already and will do another in a bit. When I do my second I am going to check and see if the pool is opening up this week.
Have a terrific Tuesday!2 -

@lindamtuck2018 - don’t you hate water weight 😡 Hang in there and keep doing what you’re doing
@littleflutterby - CONGRATULATIONS. You are amazing and inspiring 🤩
@lelbarou - I was feeling low last week and let myself have 2 glasses of wine on Friday. I think I needed that because it’s the one thing that I completely avoid and I do enjoy a glass of wine. I think I might try to plan for a glass or two a month instead of waiting until I’m in a funk. The winter blues are real. If it’s too cold to go out, site near a window and get yourself a good dose of sunshine. Your body and mind need it.

Good Morning Andrea... I changed your step goal to 7000...Are you wanting to go back to 9000?0 -
@lcfa5317 - great job on the stationary bike. Try to stay warm.
@Beautyofdreams - thanks for the encouragement 😊 Good for you to stand up for yourself and prioritize your health and well being. Did you ever think that maybe living with your mom is holding you back from living your fullest life. Sure it might seem lonely at first but the more independent you become, the more you will have control and you will find your tribe. Maybe this aqua fit class is that first step.
@Tazaria87 - the punching bag sounds like an awesome workout
@jimboden3 - nice loss1 -

Exercise 35min Inc Dance Video
So we hooked up our old Wii to the living room TV for something new for the kids to do. They've been having a blast. Due to them having the tv most of the day though, my workout was pushed to the evening haha. My son's preschool has been cancelled for the last 2 days due to frigid temps. The city has also been doing rolling blackouts for energy conservation so we were without power for an hour this morning.2 -
