    My follow-up appointment went well; go another cortizone shot - this time in the bursae area - feeling fabulous already. She gave the go ahead to resume all activities - so got them all done. I did feel a little twinge on certain twisting aerobic moves so I avoided those. Have PT this morning, and then today is supposed to be a beutiful day - going to hit the lake - go out on the boat and for a swim.

    7/18: 12,369

    Making an effort to get out and walk each day. It helps that the weather has cooled off a bit and it isn't so humid. Dog sitting my daughter's dog while she is away so having 3 dogs to walk definitely helps with the step count!

    Happy Friday!

    Over my calories yesterday - first time in a long time. I was already close to my calorie goal when I went to bed, BUT got up in the middle of the night and ate - putting me over the top. Just 125 calories - but over.

    It was a very bad day yesterday. Someone clicked a link about a month ago and revealed their Microsoft credentials. The hacker got into their email and started requesting that our customers change banking information. Long story short, spent the entire day tracking down what occurred and putting out fires. Had very little water, didn't get home until almost 8pm and then had pizza and went to bed. Explains the scale bump. It temporary but bad for weigh in day.

    Hello Everyone!

    It's been a while! I'm currently sick with Covid and just popped by to say hello!

    I'm still maintaining my weight loss, and will be starting Half Marathon training in a week.

    It's nice to see some familiar faces. Anyways, keep up the good fight!

    Great to hear from you. Hope you feel better soon. That is great you are maintaining your weight. How long has it been since you reached goal?

    Four weeks in a row is fantastic. I don’t think I have done that since when I first started.

    Thanks. I think I might have pulled a muscle on top of the other back issues. My tens machine and heating pad have been my best friend the last few days. That’s not too bad for being over. I bet it would average out for the week. I was us up eating in the middle of the night last but it put we way over. I ate a couple of my husband’s pastries. I don’t even like them so it doesn’t make since. I am glad you are back walking. Before I had my knee replaced cortisone really helped me keep going until the surgery.

    I am jealous. A swim in a lake sounds wonderful. I haven’t really been out on a boat like yours. We always had a motorboat at the cabins when I was growing up. It was fun but we had to take turns because it was too small to fit everyone.

    I really don’t know how I got that many steps yesterday. I didn’t do much. I did try to make an effort to do some loops around the apartment until the pain said no. I even napped on and off. My back is feeling a bit better today. I am going to try and get some stuff done around the apartment.

    Have a super Saturday!
