The four pounds was water weight. That’s a long time to do physio exercises. Keep doing them even if it is time consuming. It is great you are able to get right back on track.
@Poobah1972
Did the therapist give you exercises to do at home? I hope you find relief soon. I know how hard it is to deal with nerve pain. Your exercise session was awesome as usual. If you are going to try and walk through the pain start with a very short walk. Build yourself up slowly.
@shortyjmorgan1
I didn’t have it in the elbow but in my hip. The doctor gave me cortisone injections. Not sure if they can do that with the elbow.
@Pippin20206
Welcome! If you prefer to report your weekly weight in kilos I can convert it.
@amymartin555
Nice NSV! With the loss you are getting closer to your trip.
@jayenguk
I hope you enjoyed your swim! When I was on holidays anytime we were at my father-in-law’s we had our main meal at lunch and a light supper. I really like eating that way.
Did the shot help?1 -

Some of it is bloat. I started lifting again so I am sore. Sore=bloat. Also had a free for all this weekend but I am owning it. Not discouraged but I really need to start going in the other direction to please "surgeon ego". You just don't say "do me a favor and lose weight" to someone that you have no clue to their weight loss history. Yes I am holding a grudge. Could be behind the mind set of my eating and over eats of late. I know I need to let it go so I can move on. I go back to him Nov18th. I hope I can get a surgery date before the end of the year. I really want to be able to enjoy my March vacation.3 -

Being mindful of my eating and why. Even my over eats. I acknowledge that my emotions and moods drive my eating on my good days and bad days. I have also discovered fatigue drives my night time desire to eat. Knowing these things help me to discern if I am hungry. I hope that after surgery I will know true hunger sensation, since the tumor sits on my stomach and gives me a sensation of being full. If I try to eat intuitively I wait till I have the shakes and my sugar has dropped. Not a good thing as I tend to get angry and sometimes down right combative. So I try to eat on a schedule. Even with that my brain will try to shanghai my thoughts to make me think I am hungry. I always try to make sure I am really hungry or is it my mind.

I hope you get your date soon. If I let myself get over tired it is when I will binge at night. First when I started my therapy for binge eating I ate on a schedule plus had to plan a day in advance what I was going to eat. I am not saying you have binge eating but I am sure normalized eating would work for a lot of different things. I know myself it is something I need to get back to doing. How is the Covid recovery coming along? You are not catching a break between Covid and now surgery.1 -

This is a hard one as October has definitely been a challenge for me. I think working hard on reaching my zone goal each week. I am very aware now when doing my pool exercises to keep my heart rate up.3 -
@lindamtuck2018 Covid recovery is coming along. I have been walking and doing circuits. Walking my heart rate has been lower which shows some improvement in lung function. My muscles are coming back also. My calve doesn't look like a slack sack when I raise it in the air. I just feel like a prize fighter waiting for the bell to ring for the next round. I truly will not be on the road to recovery until I get this done.
I am so jealous of your pool time. You are making me want to spend yet more money on another access pass to a pool.2 -

Good evening everyone. Time for another camel to walk thru your work spaces.
@lindamtuck2018 we saw 'the last duel'. Definately not for the younger crowd, squeamish.
Check in for 10/26:
Steps - 7368. Lots of window shopping. Hit a mall I haven't been to in a very long time. It is a dead one with a lot of empty stores.
Calories - 1675. P.f.chang for lunch. Refused to eat all of mine, even though it was really good.
Exercise - arm exercises with dumbbells. Want to hit a walk or gym tomorrow.2 -
@tahm42
Glad to hear that. The pool is great. It is one of the reasons we picked the apartment building we are living in. It is a decent size pool.
@WTGNicole
New scales do that sometimes. What is the omada health program?
@Bluetail6
That’s a fantastic burn!
@amymartin555
You have some amazing steps in there.
@rwood566
Window shopping is so much fun! Nice steps!1 -

I am still tired but I am going to the pool. I need to get some stretching done. I also have to get housework done today as I pretty well have done nothing for 3 days. Send me some energy lovely teammates.
Happy Hump Day!
