HOW WAS YOUR DAY???? A DAILY CHECK IN

Down 0.5. Cat, right now your schedule is out of your control. I can't imagine that anyone would have the energy to exercise after a long day of child care. You are certainly burning calories chasing after and playing with the kids.0

When I started this weight loss journey (this time), it was all about health, about getting myself into the best physical shape possible as I entered my retirement years. At this time last year, I had been successful. I felt GREAT! But, I decided that I would try to lose more weight. Why? Vanity. Not only did I not achieve my vain weight, I started to gain back the weight I worked so hard to lose. So my goal is to focus on my health - to be as strong and fierce and flexible as I can be. I'd like to get back to where I was last year, and when I reach that goal, I will stop trying to lose.0

Went to the eye doc today for a yearly checkup and got diagnosed with closed angle glaucoma. Laser surgery on first eye Feb 26 and second eye March 4. This works about 75% of the time.
I have been eating everything I can find since I got home.
Randi, allow me to join you in your pursuit of good health. Forget the numbers on the scale. Let’s focus on feeling great.
Babysit next 4 days. I am exhausted all the time. Pondering what I can do for strength, stamina, and better blood pressure.0 -
Cat, I'm sorry to hear about the glaucoma diagnosis and hope you get good results with the laser surgery.
I'm giving up tracking for now. I had an epiphany when I pulled out a measuring tape to measure the size of my pancakes. This is not normal. I'm going to eat three healthy modest meals per day, and I am only going to weigh myself once per week. I am not going to let my mood be ruled by a number on a scale.
Hope everyone has a good day.1 -
Randi, your approach sounds like the healthiest plan for everyone. When weight loss becomes an obsession, is it really good for us? I am pondering what drives us to allow our joy to be stolen by numbers on a scale. Shouldn’t our goal be a healthy balance?1

I like the phrase "healthy balance".0

New plan: eat sensibly.
Track exercise to make sure I get the minimum daily minutes needed for good health.
Practice gratitude
Choose Joy1 -
Weight stayed the same.
Emphasis on exercise this week1 -
Weight is up. My focus is eating 3 healthy, untracked meals with no eating outside of meals unless hungry.0

30 min elliptical
30 min bike
Tracking exercise only this week.1 -
2 hours of shoveling snow!0

Yikes! How much snow did you get Randi? Shoveling burns a ton of calories0
-
It was only 4 inches, but we have a large driveway and sidewalks, and the snow was of the heavy wet variety. It was a workout!0

Wow Randi a great way to burn calories.
Hope everyone is doing well, I can't wait till the spring is finally here.
I have toothache but the dentist is not sure which tooth it is as she wanted to remove it so on tablets to see how it goes but it's such a pain fingers crossed it will improve.
I will weigh in tomorrow 🤪

Back from three days of dogsitting for a granddawg and feel like i am getting a cold or something. Going to take ZiCam and Airborne, hook up the good old Vicks steam vaporizer and go to bed.
God bless us everyone.

Cat, you are always taking care of someone else. Make sure that you take good care of yourself.
Ann, I hope you get relief from your toothache soon. 1 -
Haven not been weighing or exercising or tracking anything. As soon as I get through both eye surgeries, I will re-evaluate and plan. I just need to deal with these medical issues first.
Hope the rest of you continue to check in here to at least say hi or post puppy pictures.0 -
I've been exercising but not weighing or tracking. Please let us know how you make out with the laser treatments. I'll be here if you need to vent or if you need support.0

Laser surgery is pretty creepy, but it went well. Praying that hole in my iris doesnt close. Other eye next Monday1

Cat, I hope all is going well. I'll be thinking of you on Monday.1
-
Thanks Randi.
Got some exercise in today. Small victories are sweet.1 -

I will be thinking of you too and wishing you well.1 -
Thinking of you today, Cat. Good luck with your procedure.
Ann, hope all is going well for you. 0 -
Thanks Randi. Nice to hear from you Ann. Got holes in my eyeballs now to let the pressure out. Won’t cure glaucoma but it ought to slow it down.
When I get health problems straightened out, I need to go back to tracking everything. I can tell I am up several pounds. If I want to be healthy, I havegot to get this stress eating under control.1 -
Glad to see your post. Fingers are crossed that the eyeball holes do what they are supposed to do. I am out of control right now for reasons that are not clear to me.
