ROUND 288
02/20 – 134.0 Morning Swim
02/21 – 133.3 Trainer – upper body only today
02/22 - 135.0 OMG – This is last night’s dinner with the in-laws – Morning swim
02/23 - 132.9 Easy basement yoga

Good news - I think I caught myself just in time before the weight explosion stuck. Not so good - my back and hip are calling my name this morning. I better take it easy. Even church will be a challenge. I go the Episcopal Church. It's almost a workout. Stand, sit, kneel, bow, repeat. I sing in the choir, at the front, so it'll be hard not to go with the flow.

@skyleen75 - You're right - It's all but impossible to avoid pizza, especially on caught on the fly like that. Good move to vacate the premises. Good luck with your social eating activities. I, too, have a girls night out tonight that I'm almost dreading. Let's both remember the scale in the morning.

@Slimmersixties - Stay the course and work the plan. I think sometimes our inner minds and bodies protect us from changing too much. (You've been on a fabulous downward roll.) They sabotage us and scream, that's enough being good. Eat! We're taking over! OK, not so scientific, but that's how I envision it. We just have to show them who's boss. Stick with us We'll help you through this. You just need one good day to turn it around.

For all those who are NOT Change-Fans (like me) Thought we all could use this heads up to be ready for this major update coming

I just learned that MFP will be switching to the rich text editor on 3/4/25. No more bbcode!
I am guardedly optimistic after reading the following discussion that describes the editor's features. Looks like we'll lose underlining and font color, both of which I use often, but I see some improvements that might make it worth it.

@cyndiemi - So glad your DD is coming. Prayers and hugs for you. This is tough. My sister was on the 8th floor of Vanderbilt on and off, and I'd take the stairs for exercise and mental relief. I wasn't very fast but my legs and chest would be feeling it! Hospital's have tall spacing between floors.

@cyndiemi Prayers to your mom, you and the entire family.
