    Oooh I was up at 6:30 AM this morning, then sent to gym with Lee. Yep I did it!
    Today's food was a repeat of yesterday, because it was so wonderful.
    Shrimp salad with tomatoes and thousand island dressing. Then two hash brown patties, two eggs and 4 sausage links. Dessert is 3 prunes and a piece of chocolate.

    I love how you get so much pleasure from your food.

    Well, after 20 hrs fasting, I am a wee bit excited. Plus food tastes AMAZING!!! I am appreciating the two sides of intermittent fasting. There's the warm, empty feeling where autophagy happens and because I have been putting my eating window between 1 and 3 pm, or 12 and 2 pm, I can wake up in a fasted state. Autophagy us when your body cleans house and heals.💖👍. The other feeling is sheer joy, or prepping, and choosing food. It has to be "window worthy"! I don't want to eat crappy food because it does a number on my digestive system. So I have become a food snob, ( a happy respectful one).

    I've had a pretty slow day because I'm flaring a bit from yesterday. Got some laundry pushed through, and took Girlfriend to get her regular bloodwork done. She got her booster while she was there, so two birds with one stone. And I'm on track calorie-wise.

    It's just hard because they don't want me to be using any of my usual OTC pain meds for two weeks before the surgery, and I could definitely use them now for my neck and back, cause driving has gotten more and more painful as I lose weight. (Problem is that I'm not losing it in my breasts.)

    SO MUCH TO DO before the surgery. Ack. But I will get it done.

    Thank you for very much for explaining how to bookmark. I couldn't see the ribbon until I changed the Zoom from 100 to 80. I have had MyFitnessPal since 2014 and for New Years I just bought myself a paid membership. So far, I have explored the extra options and benefits, but I can't find instructions or how to get MyFitnessPal to answer a question, and I have several questions. I've tried searching these forums without success, which is frustrating - and being frustrated makes me overeat.

    What is one of your questions?

    Did my dumbbells today. I'm being very careful of my right shoulder, which wants to wimp out on me. It just isn't strong enough yet to handle my body weight in planks and such.

    And I think I can say that I've broken my cookie habit! Yay! I still feel it but I can ignore the pull. I had a little bit of chocolate today after grocery shopping, but was under calories. I'm starting to get excited about what the scale might say on Friday, which is probably a mistake. We all know that the scale has a mind of its own.

    The salad project has gotten much better. I'm aiming for four times a week. And I'm buying lactose-free Greek yogurt to keep me full.

    And I bought a lottery ticket; the jackpot is up to $600 million!

    So things are looking hopeful all around. Now if that scale will just give me two pounds!

    ** If you keep scrolling down through the subforums, you'll reach an area where you can ask questions.

    ** You can also find that section (MyFitnessPal Information) in the right sidebar.

    ** At the very bottom there is some additional information. Community Guidelines is a good one to read.

    Strolling today ... back/shoulder still sore.

    Regarding walking speed.

    I have trouble walking slowly. :) Today's walk averaged 4.8 km/h which is a slowish walk for me. Normally, I'm at least 5 km/h and often up close to 6 km/h.

    However, when I walk with my husband, I have to slow it down to about 4 km/h and sometimes even as slow as 3.5 km/h. I find that very difficult and often take off on him. I'll be walking and talking and suddenly realise he's about 10 or 20 metres behind me.

    But when I try to walk under 4 km/h, it's actually awkward and a little painful. The slow speed throws my gait right off and I start doing weird things with my hips which starts to get a bit painful.

    Smiles aside, there is some evidence that walking fast can be beneficial for more than just burning more calories.

    Yesterday I went in for a mammogram. The technician was very good at her work and I was not too uncomfortable or embarrassed. I was able to see the images, and that helped.

    Heather: That’s tragic. As you say be kind to each other, and don’t put things off.
    Live today! Fully in the present!
    Carpe diem!

    Ginny: So sorry about your niece. (((Hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 To the family at this sad time.

    We were out early this morning to do our weekly shopping. The weather has turned bitterly cold, so happy to be home and warm for the rest of the day.

    Love

    Annie, Would he wear a blaze orange hat or beanie? That might help ease your mind a bit. <3

    I’m new to this community thing on MFP, so I am thrilled that I have located you guys. I am 56, retired teacher. I live in Young Harris, GA and am spending three months in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I am new to the “one word” idea and am still trying to decide what my word for the year should be. I’ve considered light, balance, or renewed…to name a few.

    Karleen,

    I’m six or seven pages behind in reading, but I wanted to acknowledge you and say welcome! I live in Jefferson, GA.
