We made it through the day! @EvMakesChanges was in great spirits this morning and the surgery went well. Tonight I'll be getting up every couple of hours for medication and ice pack delivery, but making sure the pain does not ramp up is super important. The nerve block is just wearing off now, so tomorrow might not be quite as easy as today - but it is done, and the healing begins.
I love all the talk about long walks - I managed about an hour this afternoon, but hope to have some longer ones over the next couple of days. I doubt I'll beat @YinxFed or @DD265 but I'll do my best
Welcome to @coramae7417 - I hope you'll enjoy our group here and that you'll dive right in. Introduce yourself and let us know what you're looking forward to, what questions you might have, and anything else you'd like to share.
Only @Kali225 for a weigh-in tomorrow - I promise it won't be graded! I'll bet you're going to be super ready for Friday and that you'll give it all you've got.
I'll be back earlier tomorrow - right now, I'm aiming for some zzzzzzzzzz4 -
@DD265 thanks for the luck! I LOVE escape rooms, sounds like you made good time and a great pic from your day! That is basically how I picture all of England, all the time. Mansions, castle, rolling hills.
@ashleycarole86 I'm not help here as I hate to bike on roads for that reason! I mostly stick to trails and parks. I was walking 2 days ago and someone honked at a biker when they really shouldn't have and the woman biking GAVE it to them! Screaming in motion for like 2 blocks. Good for her haha.
It is 10:13pm here. Giving myself an hour and 45 to study and then it is lights out. See if I can keep the loss momentum up at tomorrow's weigh-in.3 -
Just stopping by to say Hi. My food is logged. I made cookies 🍪 today again. Why is this my thing? @Pearl4686 I know we have this cookie thing together. Good for you not having any. Unfortunately, I caved. They are just so yummy. Dammit.
Did not get my steps where I wanted them today. Maybe tomorrow. I did get 17 minutes of a full body Pilates workout. It challenged me.
Glad to hear you got across the border Liselyn and that Evelyn did well with her surgery. Hoping tomorrow is good and pain is managed well.
@Kali225 Sounds like you have a good plan for the week. Good luck on Friday!!3 -

Not too late @micki48 .. thanks! Will send out the report tomorrow.
Today's exercise - 8633 steps and 22 minutes yoga
It was a busy day, and cold and rainy! It honestly felt like it could turn to snow. Got my walks in before work and at lunch so chose yoga indoors for my evening workout to round out the day. I had a great yoga practice tonight and felt so strong.
Glad the surgery went well for @EvMakesChanges .. hope the pain management goes well.
I'm beat... see you all tomorrow!2 -
I had a crazy day! Up at 3:30 AM due to the little guy having a bad dream. Then at about 7 AM only half of the power would work in our house but none of the breakers were flipped. I hadn't had coffee yet, so I stared at the fuse box for a long time before getting my husband back up after his 5AM turn with our youngest. Long story short we had to tear our deck off, dig up the line and have the electrician out. We are hoping to have all this done by Wednesday. Oh, we also set up my hubby's classroom today. I ate really sporadically all day and definitely got into the chocolate. It was eat chocolate or go crazy 😜.
@jugar Glad the surgery went well. You are smart to do ice and meds around the clock. It will make a huge difference in her healing process and keep the pain manageable!
@Pearl4686 Good luck heading back to work. I have been looking at a website called Classy Yet Trendy. She has great ideas for outfits and sells plans for capsule wardrobes. She has about half of her fall ones created with the others following soon.
@micki48 Great job getting your work out in today!4 -
@DD265 - That looks like a great time! Thanks for sharing with us!
@ashleycarole - The bike bell is awkward for me too but it’s better for everyone I think. That way there is no sneaking up and possibly no incidents. Hopefully the walkers won’t take it too personally - the bell is to warn and protect both the rider and the walkers. Maybe if you ring it early it’s less harsh. Makes me want to go out for a ride and just ring the bell for fun.
Happy Tuesday everyone!3 -
I need to go walk right now before my day gets away from me.3

Tuesday Weigh-In
PW: 213.9
CW: 210.4
Well that made me feel good. Always worry that a really solid week will be followed by only a little improvement. But this is also all weight I have lost before and it needs to hit the road. So off it goes!
@micki48 hope you got out there! I stayed mostly true to my word and turned my light out at 12:26am, and actually got up to my alarm at 7am and out for a damp walk at 7:26am.
Actual nerves are starting to set in for the test. And that after it is done, I will overeat/overdrink at the wedding that night (did I mention my friend's wedding is the same day?), and I am already thinking of ordering a brunch on Saturday, a day I plant to sleep away. So potentially a calorie-heavy weekend and I don't want to undo this great work the last 2 weeks. Hmm.6 -

Hi all!
Things are still going well here at my sister's, but my exercise was nowhere today. Tonight should be a better one for sleep (only getting up every 4 hours instead of every 2!) so I'm sure I'll have more juice tomorrow. I'll aim for the morning too - sounds like that is working for a few of us.
Fabulous job this week @Kali225 - I am sending you all the good vibes for Friday. After the test, go ahead and have some fun but be sure to dance a lot at the wedding reception! That'll burn off some of the extra calories
Ready for the Wednesday people:
@AshenMoon

I had a great week, but I woke up super bloated so I guess it is better than again.5 -
Exercise for 08/24 was 10,618 steps
I had a dinner out with a friend and then we checked out the Beyond Van Gogh show that's been touring. It was a lot of fun. Dinner was at an Italian restaurant so I pre-chose my meal, logged it, and stuck to it!3
