@CeeBeeSlim : thank you for your prayers. I really appreciate it.
I'm sorry to hear of your stress as well, you deal with that a lot. Could it be a mindset thats driving you to overeat? Maybe some days your mind is "ON" and you say, I'm not gonna. THen other days you just say "to hell with it".
Presently mine is at, I don't need any more stressers right now. A sick tummy will do me no good. My mind needs focus on this & not on food. My husband seems to understand - my inlaws think i'm "too skinny" like you. But again .... I am taking care of MYSELF . This is MY SELF CARE - to feed myself appropriately. Eating greasy, snacky, sugary foods is only going to give me a tummy ache.
@ceebee slim - yay on "Still doing well with the nutrition."
@justgirl81 : What about increasing fruits & greens? would the pre-biotic effect be helpful as well? My Thyroid dr. recommends I take in more real, whole foods because "your body knows what to do with them." If I remember right, you're a pro on nutrition - so I doubt I can help at all. Nice job on your daily readings. You must be starting the day with it.
I worked out this morning - 25 mins of lower, bodyweight moves. Not super intense but, a lot of iso metrics I guess. It was nice and, i'm not stressed about it because I know that my nutrition is in check. I'm feeling like I'm having mental wins as well as physical/body wins. I simply told myself, "eating sugar and greasy foods is not going to make me feel better. I need my energy and focus to be on the other things in life." and don't we all.

Great time with the girls tonight. God is so good!0 -
@SherryRueter I take in over 20 servings of vegetables per day. Raw spinach, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers, etc. The bulk of my nutrition. I follow basically pescetarian paleo. Veggies, fruit, fish and healthy fats.0
-
@justagirl81 wowza! okay - so weird that you have constipation. RIGHT??!?!?!
How long have you been doing this high nutrition style?
25 minute run (*watch said 8:50 pace* I did walk/run/walk/run)
without pain in my piriformis or hamstrings. Such a great peaceful time.
Nutrition for me feels solid, as I work on making whole foods a lifestyle.
I'm feeling good the past week about my daily choices and grabbing fruit and veggies - little desire for other ultra processed foods. Its been no issue to say no thanks, the desire is very weak.
Mom update: yesterday seemed to be a pivotal day, her blood pressure stabilized into the 122/70 range and she was removed from all IV. Her energy improved and her Urine number started to head to the normal range. We are looking at a swing bed arrangement occuring on Friday (to be confirmed today).
Sister in law's funeral arrangements have not been even thought of yet as we navigate thru mom, and on her side they navigate thru her father's cancer. I"m not sure if they will do a funeral while we are here, or if it will be months away to see if the father can attend. Meanwhile, I'm going to see if my brother thinks he would want grief counseling - maybe thru a church group or a pastor. He seems to be very weary(?) the evening hours (and understandably so) . I know grief counseling of some sort helps so many people.
Dang - yeah - a lot on my mind and plate.
So proud to say that my Daughter commits to getting daily workouts in as it is the ONE time that you can have some peace of mind and not think about everything else going on.
I wish I had less to say.
If you're still reading, thank you.
If you're not, I understand that too.
Catch ya tomorrow.

I started, yet another, new probiotic. Also quit the magnesium. I'm feeling a bit better today. Too soon to tell if it will last. Either way, God has been SOOOO Good to me. Feeling very blessed to have the love and kindness of family and friends. I praise Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father God for their AWESOME love!

I counted my whole foods/nonmeat day for July 4th and i had 15 different ones.
Spinach,
kale
cauliflower
Brocoli
Almond
Pineapple
watermelon
celery
red bell
yellow bell
pinto beans
corn
peas
carrot
cucumber
onion
it just feels good in my stomach.
had one serving of chicken.
I don't have a scale to weigh myself until july 14th. I cannot see how I am not down in weight.
I had 2 bites of icecream at the holiday party with my mother in laws side.
Then 4 sandwich cookies when I got back to the camper (abeit, I should have had my mini protein bar, which I am striving to do today).
Mom is being transferred to day to a swing bed for physical therapy for a few days and then she can go home to her house. God is Good, and I am so blessed and thankful.

@ceebeeslim. I hope your elder care is going well. Thinking of you as I do this all with my mom.
I’ve been 100% on my plan. I feel proud of what I’ve done and I have to say, it all started with that 3 day cleanse. I never would have guessed I would do this.
My mom is still in the hospital. Low blood pressure again. Geesh.0 -
Today I'm happy because I went to the gym 3 times this week. I know others do more but for me it's "a lot": You have to set realistic goals at first! Did one of my favorite exercises, the stairmaster, and some lifting, Bulgarian squats.
Today I ate good too, I feel motivated1 -

Thank you @justagirl81
6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(for we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.1 -
@Natalia_A20 YAY on making it to the gym this week as planned!!!!
And NUTRTION is 90% of the results. So if you can triumph in your food intake, you will find that 3 days in the gym is plenty. Its not the # of hours you can workout that make you the right physique. Its the nutrition.
Mom is still in the hosp. Maybe released on Monday to a swing bed facility (which would be an hour closer for me while visiting Iowa). Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
Lower body cardio yesterday
Lower body weights using machines today (so that I don't have to use my right arm with the bicep injury/recovery). It went okay. One girl had the Leg press machine for 30mins. I was super frustrated.
But, I did find moves to do, just didn't get to do the one machine I wanted ?(and only would have used for 3 minutes probably). Oh well, God I guess said no.
Today I will clean up mom's house, dishes, vacuming, whatever.
Hopefully tomorrow she is released.
Sister in laws funeral is likely next saturday, july 13th. Hoping I head home either Sunday or Monday.... 13 hour drive. May use Tuesday as a mental health day.

2 Corinthians 5
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us.1 -
Cardio today, leg focused.
Bicep is feeling better - However I feel it is best to rest it than to test it.

Hello Fitness Friends! Been a crazy week. Lost a young-ish cousin - early 60s. Heat stroke - pushing a lawn mower in this heat in NC. Family found him in bed, no shirt, lawn half-mowed, water bottle on grass - as if he felt the heat, it overcame him and we was trying to cool off and lie down. Sigh.
Yes, @SherryRueter - re the stress - sometimes I can say “this will not overtake me. I have God on my side. leave it at the altar. Be anxious for nothing”. Then sometimes it’s “why bother. Enjoy your honeybun”. If I could get to the crux of why I think one or the other, and then behave accordingly, I’d be ok! Maybe we’re just human.
Right now - I’m feeling emotionally strong - but that’s after reaching my highest weight and feeling awful. I will not enter ny 60s this way! So two days of great eating and praying i can stick with it.
Hope you mom is continually improving @SherryRueter! Wow - all those veggies @justgirl81 - I wish!!!
Enough of my soliloquy! 😀0 -
@Ceebeeslim - Oh my, I am so sorry for your loss and the families loss. It is crazy who God chooses to call home. Its one thing when its a 89 year old. Another thing when it is a younger person.
I am listening to A LOT of Ultra processed food videos on Youtube. Oh my how the chemicals are added to those items. Those items are not real foods. they are chemicals that are getting into your cells and making up your tissues.
Making your food choices easy should be "making your fridge" and household choices easy. Pay attention to the better choices when it comes to your food. AND make the real whole foods fun experiences. Real FOOD is not about sufferering. Its about HEALTH. Its about making YOUR body healthy so that YOU dont have to put your loved ones thru the pain and suffering of your food choices.
How did my mom get a heart attack ? She chose to eat a LOT of fast foods, frozen meals, skip the fruit, skip the veggies, eat the ice cream. have the toast. drink the soda.
How do you try to prevent, reduce, your risk. WHOLE FOODS. Not chemicals.
The power is in our food.
Chips are processed inside your body more quickly than the same calories of a baked potato.
The potato is processed differently and does something MUCH MORE different to your stomache and microbiome and Cells. The Potato will make you feel different than the chips also. At least in my experience, the chips will lead you to feeling like a drug addict. Sad. ashamed. depressed. anxious.
All of which a whole potato has never done to me.
Next time you reach for the "factory food" think.... what is my body going to do with this once the tastebuds have died down?0 -

True Sherry. I don't think we should eat anything out of a box or bag. If it can survive without refrigeration for longer than a few days, with the exception of nuts and oils, I wouldn't call it food.
CeeBee, I'm so sad to hear about your cousin! I think the heatstroke awareness needs to be advanced. I think its way more prevalent than many people realize. 1 -
Thank you @justgirl81 and @SherryRueter. I agree re the heat stroke awareness - I have to admit I’ve been pretty dumb about downplaying the adverse effects of the heat by being active here in the south.
Down almost 7 pounds from the disastrous several days. Bought two types of dandelion tea and that’s been helping. Feeling so much better.
Hope you are staying cool!0
