    Starting to feel better. Still feel very drained. Plus side of a stomach bug, a new low weight today. I know once I start eating it will go up.

    Have a great Tuesday!

    I went to the pool this morning. Forgot to start my watch with the water aerobics so I had to enter it manually. I am pretty well over the bug just tired but I had a terrible sleep last night. Thanks for the get well wishes.

    Have a great hump day!


    @prodigal6766
    It didn’t help but I bet it was so good.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970
    Good luck!

    @Hotspur11
    Awesome steps!

    Motto: 🏋🏾‍♀️ Don't think, just do it!! Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳

    Recap: Rough weekend and start to the week. All (well mostly) my fault. Splurged on Pizza on and wine on Sunday, coupled with rest day. Showed up on the scale yesterday! Note to self: Don't do that again! And then the gym was closed for maintenance(restricted hours) so didn't get a full work out in on Friday or Monday. Unfortunately, it all makes sense!!

    - THOUGHTS: Do the work (exercise + quality food/within calorie range) get the results!


    Step Challenge - Goal 8500
    ST = Moderate

    3/17 3,792 ST = 0
    3/18 3,252 ST = 0
    3/19 11,141 ST = 20

    @rwillems ~ Agreed as well. Enjoy those grandkids!

    @lindamtuck2018 ~ sorry you got that stomach bug. Hope it's gone by now!

    @slimmersixties ~ how do your clothes feel? I've been fluctuating a lot as well and I know its the food (retention vs actual gain). I'm only seeing it on the scale and not in how my clothes fit...so that helps me. No you didn't gain 7.4lbs!! It seems when you eat "differently" the body wants to hold on just to see....

    @megan_smartiepants1970 ~ I hope your appointment went well.

    Thank you ... I knew about the x-rays for my hips (stupid hip dysplasia) the ultra sound threw me off though it was for my thyroid ..crossing fingers that I do not have to go on thyroid medicine

    I had a thyroid ultrasound this morning ...My Dr called me this afternoon and told me that my nodules on my thyroid could be benign ..He is sending me to a thyroid specialist ...If the nodules grow to big, it could result in surgery or thyroid therapy ... That would explain why I am having such a hard time losing weight ...I also had my hips x-rayed ...I have hip dysplasia and they are getting worse ...

    I have been on thyroid medication foe almost 40 years. Truthfully, I don’t even think about it. I have a test once a year or more often if the doctor thinks it might be low again. Usually, if I get depressed they check it as it could be a low thyroid. Good luck getting it figured out.
