    Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Steps for 5/17 10,408

    Not a lot going on here... have been 'stepping' up my step game a bit when the weather cooperates. I still have not set foot back in the gym (it gets tougher the longer I wait!!)

    This seems to be my slow loss week... I tend to alternate weeks of higher losses and lower losses.

    @lindamtuck2018 - I am so glad that you finally have some answers. I hope there is a good solution to your nerve problem so that you can do all the things that you used to be able to do pain free.

    Good morning.

    Thanks everybody for the well-wishes! Things are getting better - my best friend and I have been having a lot of good, productive talks lately, which is helping a lot. Not to mention my therapist is also helping. Things are (hopefully) on a good, positive trajectory.

    The scale is driving me nuts - it’s not going the way that I want. I have a lot more work to do. I’m afraid it’s going to be up quite a bit this weekend at weigh-in. I’m trying to up my steps, though, and not be so hard on myself - but that is very difficult for me. Now that things are starting to settle down at work, (and at home), I have more time to just focus on my goals.

    You all are the best. I really appreciate all the support! ❤️

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 : I know I missed 5/15, but I’ll still post what I have. Sorry about that!

    Blood work is in... 😬🧐😋

    I have some questions... Need to follow up with a Doctor for sure, if they don't get a hold of me first.

    Possible signs of some Anemia going on? Maybe in relation to my general feeling of fatigue that day? No Idea.

    Blood sugar as I suspected tested good... But I'm pretty confident it is an inaccurate picture of what's going on with me, as most days I test much higher than that.

    Urate levels were elevated that morning, which explains the discomfort in my foot that day... Probably need to up the dosage of Allopurinol to 200mg per day.

    And the bright spot of the test...

    Cardio Vesicular Disease Appears to be very low.... LDL HDL Cholesterol and the whole shooting match appears to be at "Optimal levels" for the most part. So given my situation/size and the fact I was smoking 3.5 weeks ago. My Ticker seems to be strong like bull.

    Keto is not the heart enemy that some give it credit for. 👍😆

    Low Creatinine levels are a question mark... Low levels might suggest my kidneys are doing a real good job of excreting it through my urine? They may want to do a follow up Urine test to investigate further?

    If anyone has any insights or thoughts, please feel free to chime in! 🙂

    I am sorry for the loss of your cat. Our fur babies are such an integral part of our lives. I am glad you are back on track. You have great strength and I know you can beat those cravings. Hugs!

    Tuesdays
    PW- 295.8
    CW- 295.2
    -0.6
    LTD- 79.8lb

    Ugh I am frustrated, but it's ok. IDK why I have been floating around the same weight for the last 2 months. I understand that I was undereating a bit at the beginning but.... that should've figured itself out by now.

    I have to get cracking on with my studying so can't read and comment right now, but I will, i swear <3

    Incredible walk AND before 6AM! That's some intense program you have, love the schedule. Anemia, is really common and yes, it does result in fatigue. What's the plan going to be?

    @lmf1012
    Another amazing step day AND increasing the amount of steps!

    @lindamtuck2018
    Congrats on all four checks! So glad that they know what has been causing the pain, what a relief. No to get you all better and take away that pain.

    @red1185
    I'm so glad things are getting better between your BF and yourself, and that the therapist is helping the process along. It's good to have that outside perspective. I hope you're proud of what you said, "I'm trying to up my steps and not be so hard on myself". Weight fluctuates, the scale needs to be put in the corner (bad scale!). Keep doing what needs to get done, you got this!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Nooo, the migraine is still there? That's terrible. Rest up. Feel better.

    @Tazaria87
    I'm so very sorry. I know how terrible that is, you both were together for so long and shared so much. Take time to grieve and know that you gave her a wonderful life. You will smash that sugar craving. You will do this. We are here for you.

    @rlaskey2
    Terrific step day!

    Congratulations to our TOP THREE @Bluetail6 @littleflutterby @lmf1012
