Yep. The not moving as much and the comfort eating are taking their toll. With appetite, I find the oddest thing. I actually feel hungrier for a short time after I eat than I was before I ate anything. Wondering if that's a blood sugar thing? I do know that I have to acknowledge that and get myself past the first 15 or 20 minutes so that urge to eat more will go away.
Since I posted yesterday, I don't have a lot to say. It was warm enough yesterday to layer up a little and walk outside. It would have been pretty warm indeed if the wind had not been blowing. March is showing herself! Today, we have rain and wind and the chance of tornados in the afternoon. Years ago, you never heard of tornados in this area, but that has changed. I am hoping that the worst will not come until I can get home from my dermatologist appointment, which is at 3:45. Fortunately, her office is only a few miles away, so I should be home by 5. Anytime we have severe thunderstorms, I eye all these old white pines around us with a dose of fear.
I'll check back once others have had a chance to post, but before I go, here are my 7-day averages:
Steps = 10,018 (Thanks to several warm days 😊)
Kcals burned = 1,675

Happy Wednesday ladies. Welp. Went up 2lbs since Monday. Unsure if the food this week has more sodium or what is aiding to that number, but Monday I was at the same weight as last Wednesday. Not going to fret about it. Also, discovered that my doc appt is tomorrow, not today. Today was another meeting with the office, not fun - and would have preferred a doc appt.. Tomorrow I see the doc. So I'll let you know what comes of it. And then we're off to Anaheim. We're back to our March temps, not in the high 80's. Anaheim will be a nice high 60's. That means I get to wear sleeves and maybe a sweatshirt too during our visit.
The chef asked, and I said yes, to adding turnips to my fall vegetable salad. Ok. I don't like turnips. Nope. and dang the flavor affected everything. I'm still eating it, but not enjoying it as much as normal.
Hoping everyone has a great week.

I don't know why there is a double spacing between lines . . something weird with MFP? Anyway, I'm still reducing, which is good, but I don't feel like I'm eating less, just being more careful about what I eat mostly because of my stomach. Not a lot of sugar, bread, or pasta. So, that's probably good.
Sarah, your averages are still great, and a .2 increase is no big deal. I think fatigue causes me to eat more, so that might be part of what's going on for you. Maybe my body thinks "oh, you're out of energy, so you need food", lol. I dunno. I hope the tornados don't come around. Yikes.
Lois, I wish there were some foods I didn't like, but I have a hard time thinking of any! Maybe okra, although that's probably because I don't really know how to prepare it. Maybe growing up not having much, put it in front of me and I'll eat it 😜
Kelly, looking forward to your update on the house listing, and how your goals are going. I'm still doing the morning meditations, and added a warm cloth to my eyes thinking of you. I hope everyone is well in your family.
It was sunny and quite nice today, so I got outside for a short walk, and then went to my golf lesson at Golftec, added a practice session with my new club afterward. I told my instructor I'm hoping for at least 10 more years of playing pretty good golf before I have to quit 😁
I have to run to the store, and then I have an online playdate with Cali grandsons. Check back tomorrow.

back from the doc. No new meds or protocol. Going to register with the bariatric group at the clinic and see what options they have as far as dieticians etc. to help. The office is having a biometric testing on March 25 and then I have my regularly scheduled blood draw April 4, just before my sister's trip and then see him again on the 17th. Sometime between then I should hear from the bariatric group with options to dieticians and/or nutritionists. So no real new update. More of the same. Felt like we needed a monthly check in. I think I'm growing on him….lol. He's still tough to crack, but I do get a smile and good interaction from him.
So, funny story. I'm dashing out last minute for my appointment, because well even if I hit both lights, it's about a 5 min drive. It sprinkled last night and this morning. Well, I go to wash my windshield and my driver side wiper is GONE!! Not there. Not missing just the blade, the entire wiper blade attachment is not there. So I grab hubby's keys and take his car. Get home. Hubby has scrolled through the ring camera. On Feb 16 I took the van to the car wash. The wiper was on there when I left, and somehow, from leaving to going through the car wash and picking up lunch, my blade has disappeared. I didn't park it anywhere to shop, so I'm guessing maybe it was loose and got removed at the car wash running through the machine. But no one at the car wash noticed it and I certainly didn't until I needed to wipe my window. Rain was not a good washing rain, just enough to turn the dust into mud. So if you take your car to the car wash, double check for wiper blades when you're done. New wiper set ordered to be delivered tomorrow.

High sodium levels and stress? No clue and not going to worry about it too much. I'm still working out like crazy and mostly eating well.
Sheesh looks like there are some new editing options on here. If you click the little symbol on the left, it lets you change it from heading to bulleted and a few other things.
Just a quick chat here as I'm off this afternoon.
Sheesh - I'll have to look out for those single use eye drops from Costco. I'm leery of using anything now but I'll have to find a time to try them. I guess if I buy them and they don't work for me, Costco pretty much takes back anything.
Both Shawn and Tyler ended up with the flu, but it's finally starting to go away. At least now they both pretty much just have a cough. For a couple of days, they both were beyond exhausted and said they both felt like they had been hit by a truck and run over. Poor guys.
House went on the market Tuesday. We've had 2 showings so far, 1 more today and 2 scheduled tomorrow. Man they are a pain in the butt. We don't have an offer date and are just taking offers are they come in, it might be a long haul. It's such a pain to keep the house in the state it's in, especially with the dog and kids. Sarah, we have not found a house yet to move to. We have looked at 1 that isn't on the market yet through someone we know, but the timing of everything would have to work out perfectly. So, we're kind of winging it once we sell.
Sorry but I have to run. I have a going away lunch for my employee right away and then I'm off this afternoon to deal with house stuff. I'll be back to chat more and check in. Probably Tuesday.
Have a good weekend!

Kelly, I feel for you. I know that sickness, work, trying to take care of yourself, and accommodating house viewing is a LOT! My weight is up a bit too, and like you, and I'm not going to waste my limited energy stressing about it right now. I know that the post-radiation fatigue, not having mall access every day now that treatment is over, and not yet back to my classes are taking a toll. And I actually logged on just to dump on you guys because I know that just saying something tends to take the power out it. So here goes. I'm having trouble dealing with hubby's constant need to "get off his feet." This is caused by new pain in his back and legs, which can get pretty bad. Yesterday, we went to the opening reception for a four-artist art show that is featuring two of our friends. The gallery had tile floors over concrete and nowhere really to sit. So after about 20 minutes, hubby whispered that his legs and back were really hurting and that he just couldn't take it anymore. Thankfully, the turn out was very good, so our leaving was hardly noticed, but honestly, I've been dealing with someone who has to limit what he does for about a decade now. First it was neck and shoulders. Surgery helping with that, but now it's lower back, hip, and legs. I know he can't help it, but sometimes I feel like if I see him lying on the loveseat again, I will just pop! He is seeing his pain doctor soon, is still going to PT, and is trying heat wraps and lidocaine patches. These all help some, but he still has to lie down several times a day and limit how long he's out and about. Not that that has kept him from going to the grocery store 3 times a day. LOL
Anyway, I know this is a safe place to vent a little, and now that I've done that, I think I'll head off to the library before the afternoon fatigue sets in. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.0
