Good Evening Everyone!
Today has seemed extra busy maybe it's my new Fitbit. LoL. Studied, laundry, got dishes finally caught up, went shopping again, and did some exercise but not everything that was planned. Fitbit is helping me remember to get a minimum of 250+ steps every hour for 9 hrs. Tomorrow is going to be another busy day but that's ok because it's healthy and keeps me out of the food.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
🌤️. Today has been a busy day. Studying, some exercise, laundry, dishes, took Son for his first orthodontics appointment, and walked home. I am truly enjoying my Fitbit. I love the more accurate step count and the reminders to get up and move. Also am learning about my sleep patterns. Wednesday Son goes back for his scans and pictures of his mouth. Tomorrow is rest and weigh day as well as TOPS. Do I have any clue what will happen with the scale? Nope. Do I care? Not really. I know what I have done this week and I know how I feel.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
In my studies I have learned that there are multiple kinds of fat and some are more harmful than others. Also that if you just diet without exercise you will lose muscle more than fat and think your just losing fat when you weigh. Mean while you are actually gaining fat around your inner organs.
🌧️. Not a fan of the cold temperatures today. Bring back the warmth. Rest, weigh and TOPS Day. Down 5.5 lbs! Such a wonderful surprise. Today has been a little crazy as I had to get my tooth fixed this afternoon which of course threw off my day. Tomorrow will start a little crazy as son has another orthodontics appointment for scans and photos of his mouth. Of course it's at 9 am.0 -
Good evening!
Wow! That's a huge loss! If you want me as a friend on Fitbit, I'm Bea E.
On Friday, I finally had my appointment at the Bone and Joint for my neck. The doctor did an x-ray. There is some arthritis. But there was one spot that looks like it might have a small break. This is from when I slipped on I've and cracked my head on a curb mid December. I now am wearing a neck brace and I have an MRI scheduled tomorrow afternoon. I'm not happy about this. I felt at the time that I got poor medical attention at the ER. This just proves it.
From there we traveled to my brother's home in Idaho and spent the weekend with him and his wife. They sure eat different! 2 high caloric meals a a day. Brunch and dinner. It was difficult to stay within a good calorie range. We got home yesterday afternoon.
Tomorrow morning, I have TOPS.1 -
Bea I tried adding you but not sure it worked. I am Connie S. It is a huge loss but I believe it to be mostly water as the ring I wear is way loser than it has been. I hope they can get you fixed back up like new.
Good Evening Everyone!
Today is cold and rainy. Son had his orthodontics appointment @ 9 am. The day has been off ever since we left. Calories are sooooo off. Tomorrow will be way better. Got my minimal exercise done. Tomorrow will be better. I WILL NOT SABOTAGE MYSELF! The rest of the week will be better as I have no appointments to throw a wrench in my plans. Still waiting the results of my 3rd exam. Hopefully this weekend.0 -
Good evening
It's not easy to add friends on Fitbit! I've had problems before. I'll keep working on it.
I had the MRI yesterday. No results yet. I'm waiting. I also wrote a scathing letter to the hospital that I went to ER to. I'll finish it when I get the MRI results.
The weather is in the 70s this week. I'm enjoying it! I love the walking outside again. I like the up and down hills.
I noticed our hedge is starting to bud out with leaves. Soon it will have leaves. Our grass is starting to turn green. Spring is coming!1 -
I just posted something in the community on Fitbit. It's in the walking group. See if you can find it and try adding me that way. Remember I'm Bea E.
Or try posting something there and I'll try adding you.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I will give it a try. If that doesn't work we might have to use email.
☁️. Lots of exercise between workouts and lots of walking with lots of shopping as I don't drive. Bought lots of stuff I needed and a few things I wanted. Meals went out the window again today oh well. Back on track tomorrow. Bought myself a bathing suit. Need to work a little more to get into the top more comfortably. When I looked in the mirror in the changing rooms I was shocked by what I saw. I need to work more on the self love. So much extra skin.0 -
All that extra skin shows you're doing something right now!1
-
Good Evening Everyone!
Minimal exercise for me is doing my planned exercise except my main workout.
I do know the extra skin is well deserved with all my hard work. It was just a shock to my eyes. I always see myself with less skin LoL.
⛅. All workouts completed, cleaned for a client and went to support my favorite small business. Also did a little studying as I got up late this morning. Got my grade for my 3rd exam 92%. Got 2 questions wrong. Oh well. Good day all around.0 -
Good evening
92% is still a great score!
No word yet on the MRI. (Sigh!) I'm impatient. Maybe on Monday.
It's another nice day. I'm enjoying the nice warm weather. I've been crocheting lately. It keeps me busy and I'm less apt to munch.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a snow day but it didn't stay around. But still productive at home. Studied, exercised, did some chores, played a game with Hubby and now soon to make dinner. Today marks my 3 day streak of completing my main workouts! I even did step-ups with my new step I bought. Feeling tired in a good way. Hope I can sleep better tonight.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Woke up to some snow falling this morning but then the sun came out. Studied, lots of exercise, and chores. I even got out my rebounder out and jogged. Haven't done that since January or February. Feeling so much more energized and on track. I knew I could do it!0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
🌤️, cold and windy. Today was a great day a little more relaxed. But still got all my exercise done. Went for a walk to the bank and then home. Hubby actually came with me so it wasn't as fast as I wanted but that's ok. Got home and ordered lunch from Subway. Wasn't the original plan but was still within my limits and filling. Also ordered something's online that I have been needing and wanting for awhile to help organize my bathroom. Also had to order ink online as they had none in the store when I went. Didn't get exactly what I wanted but it will do the job just fine. Once it gets here I will be able to fix my printer and copy the pages I need for my studies.
I love that picture a friend made for me.0 -
Good evening,
I did it again. Disappear for a few days and I'm back saying I won't do it again. Then it happens again. (Sigh!)
We have warm Spring days and you have continuing Winter. It doesn't seem fair.
I like your picture!
I heard from the Bone & Joint today. The doctor was supposed to call me with the results on the MRI. Instead I'm set up for an appointment on Thursday. So either the doctor marked it wrong on the chart that I was supposed to make an appointment or it's something she didn't want to talk about on the phone. So I wait some more!
Tomorrow I take Mary to PT. She says it'll be her last time.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Hope it's good news.
🌞. Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained 3.75 lbs. Oops oh well. My strength exercises are on track. Now to start getting my cardio back where it belongs. I can and will do it. All my packages that were due today came and got one of them put together. Bathroom is slowly look better. Got my ink and while working on fixing my printer 2 more cartridges now need to be replaced. Oh well will order shortly to have delivered. More waiting. More time for exercise.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been cloudy, and rainy. Got a late start today and didn't get my main workout done before walking to the grocery store. Ended up buying more than planned and struggled carrying them all home but I did it. So I am counting that as my strength. Got my portion containers today. Not sure how they will work for me but I will definitely try.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was errands day. Took longer than planned as Hubby is as slow as molasses 🙄. But I enjoyed the walk anyways. The wind was blowing hard and almost went flying 🤣. I am too light! Once I hit goal I will have to weigh myself down on really windy days 😉. Got my paper copy of my 3rd exam and finally looked at it. When reviewing my incorrect answers there was an issue. Sent instructors an email regarding this. My mark may go up if I turn out to be right. Today I also realized that there are messages on the bottom of the pages. So I went back and read them all. They're so up lifting and inspiring.0 -
Good evening!
TOPS yesterday, I was Loser of the Week with only half pound loss.
Today I saw doctor at Bone and Joint. No fracture in the neck. It's good ol' arthritis which there is no cure. I also have a disc that has degenerate. So I'll get an injection to see if that helps. I hope it does.
Our weather is unsettled. It starts the day nice , then gets cloudy. On the way home today there was a small snow squall.
I got an envelope from our TOPS . It has a certificate for one of our members. It's a division winner for weight loss. I'm happy for her. She's lost 34 pounds since she joined in June.1 -
Good afternoon
Today is mostly cold and cloudy. I'm in a waiting room while Mary is seeing her doctor.
Not much going on today. Neck is still achy. But I expect that. But I can still get out and walk.
I might pop in later this evening.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea I am glad that you're pain is not caused by more serious issues. Congrats on your loss and being highest loser.
I really need to buckle down and stick to plans. Today was a pretty active day. Now just to stay out of food when I am not hungry. Have my Son visiting this weekend so that might help a little or it will hinder me. It's up to me.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today has been a great day. Chilly but partly sunny. Son and I went to the farmers market this morning. Walked there and back. Then did my workouts. Son went to work for the afternoon. While we visited with friends. Hoping tomorrow goes just as well.0 -
Good evening!
It's been cold and cloudy here today. I felt a few rain drops this morning during my walk. This afternoon, there was rain, hail, snow showers.
I wear my neck brace only part of the day now. The neck brace did help some but is not comfortable. The doctor said I can wear it less now, but if my neck is bothering me to wear it.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I am glad your neck is feeling a little better. Remember not to over do it.
Snowed during the night but was gone by the time I got up at 6 am. Woke up in a lot of pain so decided it was going to be more of a rest day. Went for my walk and that felt great. Also did some inclined push-ups, marching and step-ups and have over 14,000 steps. So I know I have done well today but still feel like I let myself down. Oh well tomorrow is a new day. Played Monopoly Transformer game with Hubby and Son. Of course I got wiped out first and Hubby won.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a rainy, snowy chilly day. Got lots of walking and some strength done. Also played Flip Uno and Wii with Hubby and Son. Ended up having a nap for about an hour this afternoon. I never allow myself to nap otherwise I have troubles sleeping at night. But just couldn't keep my eyes open. Tomorrow is TOPS and rest day. Feeling great so hope that's a good sign for the scale.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today is rest, weigh and TOPS day. Sayed the same and will take it as a win. My only movement was step-ups to get my movement each hour for my Fitbit. Missed one going to TOPS but that's ok. Got my Life Insurance policy packet today and happy that is finally over. Got an email yesterday from my instructor. I was right and my mark went up. I am so happy. They thanked me for bringing it to their attention. Back at it tomorrow.0 -
Good evening,
Life happens! Yesterday morning, I got a call from my dentist office. They wanted to move my appointment from next week until yesterday afternoon, if possible. It was just a teeth cleaning. So yesterday afternoon I unexpectedly got my dentist appointment over with.
Then today I took a friend to a neighboring so that she could pick up her car that was being repaired. Then I took Mary to the grocery store. This morning, I balanced my bank statement and paid a couple bills.
This evening, I'll b preparing for TOPS meeting tomorrow morning.1 -
Good afternoon
I always get more steps in on TOPS days, mainly because I walk with other TOPS members before the meeting. I had half pound gain this morning. It is what it is!
Right now, I'm sitting in the parking lot of a doctor's office. Mary's great grandson is sick. I'm not sure he is. He don't act too sick. We'll see what the doctor says.1 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Bea you've got this! It's not a big gain and easy to reverse. To get extra steps you could go for a walk while waiting for the people you give rides to.
Today has been a great day! Has been raining all afternoon. Did a lot of movement including a walk that consisted of my usual walk with walking to and from the grocery store in the middle. The walk equalled almost 8 km. Did some chores and also played skipbo with Hubby. I had a really great sleep last night so I think that helped.0 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Today was a stress filled day. Not going to get in to that part of my day. Let's just say by the time I had lunch I ordered delivery from Booster Juice. I am proud of myself for having a healthy lunch compared to the less healthy choices I would have normally went for. I also ended up missing breakfast. Got lots of movement so I am happy about that. Mailed my 4th exam off today.0
