    Hello! Back on MFP. I threw out my back the other day just by coughing. I read about how to recover, and it said I need to exercise and stretch.

    I have been a lazy bum for ages, with a love for cheese, and noodles with runny eggs.

    I don't like the way that I feel, and it's time I get motivated again!!!

    Feel free to add me. I don't remember how to do it! I am 31 with 40 lbs to lose. Thank you!

    JFT-
    1. Track my food

    Goals for 10/11
    - Yoga
    - Nutritionist appointment
    - 32 oz of water
    - Try to get back on track with eating
    - Try to get somewhat caught up with work

    Haven’t been able to eat much lately due to antibiotics making my digestive issues worse instead of better. I have a follow up appointment with my doctor tomorrow to figure out if I need to just try and stick it out for another week and a half or if there’s some other solution.

    Also I’m miles behind at work, mostly because I was feeling sick from the medicine and couldn’t focus long enough to get stuff done last week and over the weekend.

    One step at a time I guess…

    Yesterday was a bit awful at work. I guess I was having a full blown panic attack complete with chest pains. Luckily I kept the tears to a minimum. The control freak in me is definitely not enjoying the fact that I need to count on others to do their job.

    Today I have to take mom back to get the results of her dementia testing. She doesn't want to go, and I don't blame her, but it needs to happen. Hopefully she doesn't take it out on me.

    Other than that, shopping trip at SAM's and Bible study, maybe a walk if there is time before Bible Study.

    Goals for 10/11
    - Yoga
    - Nutritionist appointment ✅
    - 32 oz of water
    - Try to get back on track with eating 🤷‍♀️
    - Try to get somewhat caught up with work ✅

    Pretty pleased with how work went today - managed to get a good bit accomplished. Nutritionist appointment didn’t go as badly as I thought as far as the weigh-in was concerned.

    Haven’t had all my water or done my yoga yet today, but I’m going to try and get both done before I go to bed.

    Getting back on track with eating… I got more calories in my body today, that’s for sure, but it definitely wasn’t healthy. Will try to do better tomorrow.

    5. Stretch!!!!
    6. No bevvies

    Yesterday went very well! Did a 9 mile walk. Only thing I didn't do was Duolingo.


    So just for Wednesday:

    1. Track my food
    2. Take a walk
    3. Duolingo or crochet, or Hey - Both!
    4. Puzzles for my brain
    5. Stretch!!!!
    6. No (alky) bevvies
    7. Chew more thoroughly
    8. Make healthy dinner again

    I'm really enjoying cooking at home again. For some reason, I always thought I'd get a pitiful amount of food if I cooked from scratch, so I'd get premade meals because I thought the effort wouldn't be worth it.

    But actually, wow we both got a ton of salad these last few days! And it's all fresh!

    Feel free to add me if you'd like. I don't know how to add people on here anymore!

    Goals for 10/12
    - yoga
    - Minimum 40 oz of water
    - Grocery store

    Water is my main focus today. Nutritionist wants me to aim for 64 oz a day, which is at least double what I normally drink right now. Increasing slowly but surely

    Y'all have a stellar day!

    Yesterday was busy, but I didn't get as much done as I needed to. Work was stressful and non-stop until I left at 2:00 to take mom for her follow-up appointment for her dementia evaluation. The evaluation was pretty conclusive that she has Alzheimer's, which is good and bad. Good because there are medications that can slow progression, but bad because that is a long awful disease. Mom took the news pretty well all things considered. We will follow up with her regular doctor for treatment options. After I dropped her off at home, I went to SAM's to buy goodies for the crew team. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my membership card so it was a no go. All I ended up doing was making it so I got home too late to grab a walk before Bible Study. Bible Study was ok, I wasn't really prepared, but that's ok it was still nice to fellowship. My eating was not on point yesterday...

    I think the Alzheimer diagnosis is really just now hitting me as I type this. It really is an awful disease. One I'm not ready to experience.

    This evening we are going to a viewing/visitation for a dear friend who has gone to be with the Lord. She was the most positive Christian woman I've ever known. I put her up there with my great grandma in influence, that is pretty high praise. Sandy was just one of those people who put herself out there, god, bad and redeemed. I suck at going to these things. I tend to get overly emotional and make a fool out of myself. Hopefully, taking the anxiety meds will take the edge off. Sandy was sick for a long time, and she is most definitely in a better more peaceful and joyful place.

    After the viewing, I'll try going to SAM's again. Still can't find my card so I'll need to get a new one, but that is doable.
