    Strength training is going well. Lol so looking forward to my upper body not being stiff or sore anymore. I had it in my head that I was going to gain weight if I started strength training but I'm quickly realizing that was nonsense.

    That’s great. We have weights in the community room here. I am going to see if the doctor will allow any strength training. It’s so good for you.

    Weigh-In

    Username - mari_moulin
    Weigh in day - Saturday
    Weigh in week - 2
    Previous weight - 225
    Current weight - 220.6

    Almost got it back down to what I weight 2 weeks ago. It’s so much harder to lose than to gain 🤦🏻‍♀️

    Fantastic loss! You are right. The pounds are easier to find then lose.

    UGH I am so annoyed. I just keep losing and regaining the same 1-2 lbs.

    And, I just had some bloodwork done - my cholesterol is elevated but not enough to go on meds thank God. But my docs advice is so vague and annoying. I'm told to avoid fast food, fried food and refined sugar and work out 30 min x 5 days a week. I don't eat fast food. Rarely fried food. What specifically does it mean to avoid refined sugar? And I DO work out 30 min x 5 a week if not more.

    I just want to roll my eyes. She didn't ask what my habits are now but just assumed they are bad. I want to do things to lower it but without more specific instructions I don't know what to do differently.

    I have a dietitian who helps me with both diabetes and cholesterol information. Are you able to see one?

    @lindamtuck2018 I hope you're feeling better soon! I've been sick on and off for the past month too. What a pain!

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 you too - I hope your pain is lessening or at least it's warming up by you so the cold isn't exacerbating it. Here are my steps for 11/7 on.

    Fun weekend in Columbus, OH as we got to see our two kids up there and a Buckeyes win. Also were able to meet our other daughter in Indianapolis on the return drive back to St. Louis. Lots of celebrating so I'm surprised that I didn't gain wait - I guess we walked some of it off.
