Welcome to the newbies! Not taking the time to comment on other posts today. Late posting but want to for my own accountability.
Recap 3/12 W ~ Mild temps, snow nearly all gone. Sun shining thru thin clouds. Nice enough day.
- Supper?
either soup supper at church orhatch chili enchiladas from Sam's / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero ~ red 254 / 80 oz. water ~ 64 😐️ not horrible - OT exercises (6x), putty (2x), massage scar 😀 / walk dog 😁 3.63 mi happy dog & happy me
- Lenten service 6:00 😊
- Confirm & pre-reg tomorrow appts for ortho specialist & therapy / finance tasks / wash dishes / rehearse music /
read/ digital declutter / other? 😀 ta-da!
JFT 3/13 R ~ Beautiful day, temp in high 50s(F) & sunny.
- Supper? / limit snacks & sweets / log all food / net calories zero / 80 oz. water
- OT exercises (6x), putty (2x), massage scar / tape little finger 3x 30 min. / walked dog 😎 4.11 mi happy dog & happy me (neighbor watching us walk past almost at the end, asked "who's walking who" LOL)
- Follow-up ortho surgeon 10:30 😁 / OT appt 11:15 😀 / download/save ortho notes / called Mom ❤️ / put away clean dishes / read / digital declutter / other?
Had a bit of wait & switch-up with my appts this morning, but better than the patient that had to leave in an ambulance before me, very unusual for a sports medicine center. My orthopedic surgeon was pleased with my progress in 6 weeks, but I've been very diligent in doing all. the. exercises. and going to OT appts 2x each week. In fact, surgeon doesn't need to see me again unless I develop issues. "At my age" (he's in his 50s) he expects progress to continue with occupational therapy, maybe at a slower pace than if I was younger… hahaha. But OT down to 1x per week and added taping of my finger 3x each day to get tendon to hold that position on its own. I'm so happy knowing I'm making good progress, because sometimes, I really don't want to do all the things.

Didn't post goals today, but they were the same as yesterday's. I was up super early to take my husband in for a minor medical procedure with general anesthesia. He took the rest of the day off, so it was nice to have some quiet time to catch up before another busy weekend. I finally got my errands done this afternoon, but no time/energy for exercise again. Too tired to cook, so we got take-out and I did my best to log it. I need to start working on my sleep schedule again.

I am like 60 posts behind in reading! Grandson left, and then 2 days later I got sick. Really bad head cold.. just sick all over feeling. I was in bed for almost a week. Then 2 days ago my high school friends came to visit. I had a nice time, but still super tired and sure didn't feel like shopping. We are all getting into our mid 70s,so the nights don't run as late as they used to at least! I had them back to their hotel by 9. ha.. as we were all tired!
Now hubby has the same thing I had! So he's in bed.I have been skipping the gym for fear of getting anyone there sick.. and instead doing some yard work.
But my eating is out of control, and I really need to get serious on this, and back to logging my food
JFT, Friday 3/14
- log all food
- concentrate on water… aim for 8 glasses today
- work in the yard
- cover cars for hail. We are in a level 4 for severe storms tonite.. so praying for the best

After 7:35 when I had a nice clean kitchen earlier then normal (I work in a kids program at my church usually on Fridays. We didn't have it tonight as it's March Break so I was home this evening.) After that I didn't want to do anything. I was watching Mythbusters and all I could think was that last Cadbury Cream Egg and my ice cream. So I ate the egg and am typing this as I eat the said ice cream. I did accurately record it all though. Tomorrow is a new day!

Is anyone else struggling with the app/webpage.
When I load the app and click on community, it firstly jumps right to the bottom of the page and when I click on the Motivation and Support tab it's essentially a blank page with just "popular tags"
It does the same when I go through my phones internet and the only way I'm getting on the thread at the minute is by clicking on my profile pic for the comment notifications!
Anyone else? (On android not iOS)

Bex, I had the same issues. Of you click four lines at the top to the left of “MyFitnessPall’ select “Quick Links” then “Bookmarks” comes up.
