I was sick all week, I think, with influenza. It came with serious muscle aches and fatigue and I spent most of it the week in bed. Unfortunately it ended my food logging streak for November. I had no energy for it. But I will get back on track now that I'm starting to feel a bit better. The scale is getting very close to my goal for end of November, which is to get under 195.
Winter is finally here, which actually brings joy to our house! We had snow this week and the temperature looks to be below freezing for the next couple weeks so my husband built and started flooding our backyard outdoor rink. He puts a lot of time into it and our kids and many of the neighbourhood kids love it! Even our older neighbours have shared with us that they enjoy seeing the kids out playing on it at night. Will try to take and share some photos soon.
Keep healthy everyone and have a good weekend!

I feel your pain. Coincidentally, I bruised my right knee a couple days ago. In my case, I was jumping into a pool, and my knee hit the pool edge. Ouch! It's still quite sore.Armygirlarmyof1 wrote: »And as soon as, I got my head out of my butt and faced the sun 🌞 to get back on track. I slipped on a small patch of ice by my front door and bruised up my left knee. It's not as bad today as it was yesterday though.
I stayed up late last night and watched these humongous snow flakes fall. Of course, it was beautiful and a dusting today, compared to 4 to 5 inches from Saturday. I ended up taking a nap, some thing I rarely do but it felt good. Mostly chilled and rested today, which I listened to my body and obeyed it.
Tomorrow back to the grind and I think upper body strength training. That's what I Want to accomplish.3 -

It’s been a hectic week. My ankle is improving but my knee feels worse. I’m afraid I may have to get a cortisone shot soon if it doesn’t improve. I managed to get on the mat in the gym today without bending my sore knee. But I went to the grocery afterwards and it wore me out! I iced it for a bit and it’s some improved. Just need to keep Advil in my system.
My son got in yesterday; he was impressed with the room makeover. Still not finished, but it’s usable. (I’ll try to post a pic later) He’s only here til Monday so my daughter, who arrives tomorrow, will cycle into that room when her brother leaves. Since we won’t all be together for thanksgiving, and my knee is giving me fits, I made the executive decision today that I’m not going to cook. I had my husband make reservations for lunch on Thanksgiving.
I still have a few things to clean before my daughter and her friend arrive but I’m setting a timer and pacing myself. I’m pretty sure I can get it all done before they get here. Unless they arrive right after breakfast!1 -

I am hosting a bolivian breakfast tomorrow morning, openhouse from 10-12 so I will start working at 4 am. The best part is that I will spend the day with my mom, she can't help much anymore but this whole thing got her all exited and that is worth it. Wish me luck!

Didn't quite make my 2.2 loss goal. I had one big meal on Saturday. It seems a little silly that a whole week of good eating didn't make up for that. I will try to keep my 'treats' smaller on Saturday as well.

Happy Saturday everyone

I’m pleasantly surprised! I had visitors all week, so there was a lot of eating out. This week will also be tough as we are visiting my daughter in college, but since I had a good week, even with dining out, I’m hopeful I can do it again.2 -

Sorry I’m later today.
I think this is water weight. Why? I don’t know. I woke up with puffy eyes and my rings don’t fit. Oh well. On to next week1 -
@frankwbrown , yes it's not cool when that knee joint gets hurt. It is still sore but is way better now than what it had been but will take a minute0

@CasandraW I occasionally deal with swelling too...it sucks. Hopefully it will go down quickly...drink a little more water and wash out any extra sodium your body might be holding onto...enjoy your weekend!

Good morning yall. Left knee is still slightly sore but most definitely on the mend. I was supposed to go to my ladies church group this morning but having tummy troubles.
I did weigh in a day early as I've got 2 medical appointments tomorrow...dietician and endocrinologist.

This month has been a tough one. Been sick for about 2 weeks now. Fingers crossed that December will be better. I hate not being able to work out or get outside. The cold air makes my whole body hurt.2 -
Congratulations on all the losses this week! Thanks for the advice on water retention. It’s definitely helpful to drink more water to flush it out.
I’ve had some lingering muscle soreness that has interfered with exercising — and probably leading to some water retention, too. I’ve been doing the minimum in terms of workouts until I have a chance to get a massage or some physical therapy treatments. For now, I have to remember to use the foam roller and stretch. I’m terrible about stretching so any improvement will be a welcome change. I thought about joining the yoga class at our local YMCA this week but didn’t make it. I’ll keep trying to build the behavior change into my routine.
Do any of you have a stretching routine that works well for you?
I hope everyone has a good week. Keep up the good work!1 -
