    Hi to all, it feel like forever since I've been here. I've been trying to keep up with my friend list and sometimes have been late on some days. Things are coming back together slowly since the last surgery. I see there are a lot of newbies that I have to meet and try to keep up. Today I am focusing on getting back to my journey and stay there until I reach my goal. I am wishing everyone a great and prosperous day...

    mackbeth - I admire your life - your lifestyle - you're so athletic and your affinity for swimming touches my heart, as I love swimming so much too. I have a pool in my building but it is, what I call a teaser - you cannot swim a decent lap in it, only 10 strokes or so before turning around and back again, because they have a darn floatie chain blocking off the shallow end that is locked on! Ugh, frustrating. I am constantly bleeding from some wound too and therefore cannot go in the water during those periods either. Oops, there I was talking about you and got off on a tangent about me. :laugh: Your upcoming trip through the wildernuts :wink: sounds so wonderful you will have to keep us informed with lots and lots of details. I am not going to give up hope that someday I can have a life like yours.

    Skinny - :smokin: so you smoked at Lake Geneva hey? :smokin: you rascal you! Well it sounds like you handled it well, very well indeed. You've really got a handle on all the temptations around you. There should be a medal for that!

    Laurie - hope the knee is OK. Nothing wrong with one day of rest. :flowerforyou:

    CathEsh - Luna sounds adorable and a dog park does sound like a good solution as someone suggested. We have one here in Omaha and its fun to watch the dogs greet each other and frisk around and play with each other.

    Tom - you got in a great calorie burn today - wow! :drinker: Are you liking your fitbit? I just saw one for the first time the other day. I had no idea they were so small! Where do you wear yours? I think your macros look pretty good. I eat about that much salt and I have high BP too, <sigh> I just love my salt! And I eat the same meals every day too, very repititious. Its easier for me.
    Hope you get that nighttime snacking under control. Maybe try gum. I drink a mixture of 1/2 skim milk 1/2 water and instant decaf coffee with sweetner and a squirt of chocolate syrup, heated in the microwave at night. I just heat the milk and water and add the ingredients later. Its pretty tasty and low cal.

    Thanks for all the well wishes about my torn skin - I'm not seeing any improvement just yet. Slow recovery goes along with the "prednisone skin" I suppose. I haven't been doing my squats the last few days either. Will post later if I do them.

    3M- I think my Doctor is all right with my 2500mg of sodium because it is so much better than what it was and now my blood pressure is down and under control with the use of drugs. I try to eat less but almost everything has salt in it. If it comes in a box or can it has a lot. I never put salt on my food but my peppermill gets quite a workout.:laugh: Glad to see you on here!

    RobinsEgg- I do like the FB! I wear it in the clip on my belt during the day and on the wrist sleeve at night to track sleeping. I got 6.5 hours of sleep last night , 7.5 on Wedensday, and 6.25 yesterday I feel great!

    Friday fitness: I just do as I'm told around here. Today consisted of a walk around the block outside this morning and 20 min. on the recumbent bike. Some days I get more.
    Have a great evening. Kaye

    Hi everyone!

    @kaye--you're a smart cookie to do as you're told; don't want to overdo it! :flowerforyou:

    @tom--that's a pretty good amount of sleep. I would kill for 7 or so hours a few days in a row. Gunner has been really restless at night lately--if it's not storms, it's critters outside--seems he's up whining about something every night. :grumble: The only night this week I got a good solid sleep was Wed b/c I was at my friend's house in Lake Geneva. Good luck meeting your macros--I have mine custom set, but I'm not very strict about sticking to them. I do consult them towards the end of the day and then try to choose an appropriate evening snack based on what's "low," but I really should plan better from the start of the day.

    @robin--Yes, I think I need to view the smoking the same way I view triple chocolate cake--something I'm allowed when I really want it, but that I avoid on a daily basis b/c it's just not good for me. This approach works better for me than saying I can NEVER smoke again (or eat the cake). It also keeps me from feeling like a failure who should just "give up" b/c I'm not perfect. I'm sorry your skin is slow to heal--that's got to be frustrating.

    @barbara--it's so good to see you in the thread again!! :flowerforyou:

    @kris--sorry you are so stressed. :flowerforyou: One of my favorite "new" strategies for summer snacking is to buy a small watermelon and cube it. I keep it in the fridge and it's a quick, easy snack that's refreshing and satisfies my sweet tooth.

    @sherrie--good luck on your 10k tomorrow!! :drinker:

    Friday Fitness:
    I've done pretty good this week--got through 4 days of 30DS, 2 gym visits, and 2 runs. I missed today's 30DS, but only b/c I was out all day and really wanted to get the lawn done when I came home this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll be doing the Dirty Girl Mud Run for the 2nd year in a row. It was so fun last year--can't wait to do it again. :happy: Afterward, I'm heading back up to Lake Geneva to spend the night and do either a pool day or spa day on Sunday. That pesky pack of cigarettes is still up there, so I will probably smoke again, but I promise it will only be a couple.

    Exercise Goals:
    Sat--walk gunner DONE + 30 DS DONE + run or gym NOT DONE but going dancing tonight instead
    Sun--walk gunner DONE + run DONE
    Mon--walk gunner DONE + 30 DS DONE + gym DONE
    Tues--walk gunner DONE + 30 DS DONE
    Wed--walk gunner NOT DONE + swimming A BIT + run/hike DONE
    Thurs--walk gunner DONE + gym DONE + 30DS DONE
    Fri--walk gunner DONE + 30 DS NOT DONE

    Believeth- Welcome back. Glad to hear that you are getting back to normal.

    Kaye- Follow the doctors orders since you don't want to over do it. Recovery can be frustrating but the end result is what you want.

    Tom- Interesting numbers on the macros. Why is the fat set to be the highest? I would think you want to decrease that number and raise the carbs a little more. Are you eating the good fats?

    Had a great climb tonight, tried the 5.10's again and successfully completed a few of them since have some work to do but I can deal with it. These wall have tricky moves that I need to build my confidence in my knees and ankles before I fully commit to completing the correct steps. My thoughts is that if can find a way to make it to the top then it is okay. The best is my knee did not bother me tonight or today so hopefully it will be okay. I will most likely workout tomorrow morning then go to the chiropractor. That way I will know it is responding to major exercise. Then again I may choose to swim instead just not sure what I want to do tomorrow.

    I almost forgot--Robin, I'm truly sorry about your skin issues. However, the whole discussion had one good side effect. Some of you may remember that gunner had his teeth cleaned a couple of weeks ago. Well, they had to shave a section of his forearm for the IV anesthetic, and gunner has this weird anxiety thing where he licks his forearms. He used to lick them to the point of creating hotspots, and we have pretty much trained him out of it, but the shaved section was too tempting and he kept licking at it. The discussion about robin's skin and advice to use cohesive vet wrap, spurred me to the pet store to buy some for my dog. He's now comfortably wrapped and is no longer licking at the shaved section of his forearm. :smile:

    Believeth - Welcome Back!

    Sherriel - good luck on your race today - hope you have tremendous weather and the wind at your back!.

    Skinny - enjoy your Dirty Girl Mud Run - and your Lake Geneva visit again! :smokin:

    Kaye - keep pacing those hallways - you sure get familiar with the staff that way , don't cha?

    grandmakaye44 Posts: 1,205 Member
    Yes, Robin, I know the staff well. I stepped on the scale this morning and I'm down 11# from when they weighed me last week. Looks like most of that surgery weight is gone. So glad that I'm not going to have a fight all over again for ONEderland.
    Have a great day. Its going to be really hot outside today, and I don't know whether or not I'm scheduled for therapy today, so I think I will do a lot of hall walking. Have a good day. Kaye

    Tom ~ I just got my Fitbit, and I am averaging 6-7 hours of sleep per night, waking 5-10 times. I was surprised at that, thinking I should be getting 8 hours, so I was glad to hear about your sleep patterns.

    Robin ~ I wear my Fitbit attached to my bra :blushing: I've worn it attached to my waistband or pocket, but I'm afraid I'll lose it, even though the clip does seem to fit snugly. I just don't want to lose such an expensive device. At night, I've been using the wristband, but last night I attached it to the waistband of my undies :blushing:

    The play date for my little Luna was a success! Luna has quite a lot of energy, and I think my friend's dachshund was a little intimidated by her at times, but they played pretty well and seemed to have a good time. Luna is very fast, and other dogs cannot keep up with her. We met at the dog park. I am not a big fan of dog parks since my son's dog got attacked there once, but our dog park has two sections: one for all dogs and one for small dogs. Though Luna would love to play with big dogs, I am fearful she could easily get her little leg broken, so we stayed on the small dog side. There is one part of the fence where I think she could escape which worries me. She is a sight hound, and if she would catch sight of something, she would be GONE and would not pay any attention to me calling her as her mind would be set on chasing the rabbit or whatever. She can run up to 25 mph! She has gotten away from me twice while out walking when the leash handle got away from me, and she is not easy to catch! Two other little dogs joined us at the dog park, and Luna had a grand time playing with a pomeranian pup. When we came home, Luna went straight to her bed and sacked out. Robin, I've heard the dog park in Omaha is really something! Not sure I would want to let Luna loose in such a huge open space but might be worth checking out sometime.

    I've been exercising every day, usually a bike ride and water aerobics plus a dog walk or two. I've lost a couple pounds which isn't saying much, because I was up three, but I will keep on keepin' on!

    Well finally back. Last weekend my Internet was out then I was off to El Paso (or Hell Paso) for work. It was a mere 107.

    Kaye-- sounds like your progress is great!

    Robin-- sorry to hear about your issues. I work in a hospital lab and we no longer use band aids or tape. We use something called coban. I know the have it at Walgreens and such but it is much cheaper a someplace like a feed store or gebos if you have them. It sticks it to its self.

    MOwMOw -- keep your head up. That stress is a mean demon. Let us know if you need to vent.

    Laurie-- great job on always keeping up with the exercising. Need to learn to make myself do that.

    Skinny-- sounds like lots of fun! Maybe those cigs will have disappeared on you. Lol. Have fun.

    Now I have to get back on track. Couln't pass up the good food on the trip, but we did a lot of walking. I was wondering if anyone has made zucchini chips? Sound like it might be a good alternative.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend!

    i love to read and get motivated by all the activity everyone is doing!! I have kind of fallen off the wagon.
    Had my knee replacement nearly 3 weeks ago and came home with quite low blood level so very little energy. I was home on the second post op day so had to work on my mobility just to get to the bathroom in time. things are progressing ok but still little energy even tho my blood has come up. Not being allowed to do very much i have a hard time controlling my eating so i have been up and down 10 pounds every few days. Time to get off that merry go round!! May try a bit of yard work today after i sweep the floors. Mt eldest son is coming down for a few days and may hitch a ride back to northern alberta with him as i have yet to see my brand new grand daughter who was born june 15. I am not allowed to drive that far, nor can i fly for two months but perhaps i can be a passenger. I have to stop to go to the bathroom every 90 minutes so i will get some walking and stretching done.
    Been having trouble with a lot of aching in my knee and lower leg at night....so much i cannot sleep.......during the day i can do something to distract myself but it is hard at night so i often don't fall asleep till 4 or 5 am. But i can walk without pain so that is all good and it will get better.
    So far so good with food today but i can see that i am going to have to come back on here later for more motivation to stick with it for the rest of the day!

    Finally got back to doing my squats. Did 56 instead of the 80 I was doing a week ago. But they were deeper and I held them longer. Were much tougher and broke quite a sweat.

    Good news on the wound, it is finally scabbing over, FINALLY! I sat outside for 2-1/2 hours today with it open in the fresh air - it was beautiful, breezy and in the mid-70's. A lovely day to just sit and enjoy the weather. :drinker:

    SAT - squats - 56
    SUN - upper body workout
    MON - squats
    TUES- upper body workout
    WEDS-squats
    THURS-upper body workout
    FRI - rest
    SAT - rest

    Karenleona--I'm feeling your frustration. I have really appreciated the care and therapy that I am getting at the rehab center. They told me today that I will probably be ready to go home by the end of the week. They said that I have progressed so far that they really can't justify keeping me here. It is still hard to sleep at night. I understand the frustration of not being able to be distracted from the pain. One thing that is in my favor is that I just eat what someone else prepares so I don't have the temptation of over eating. I really hope that you will get to go see your new grandbaby. That will be a wonderful distraction while you continue to improve. Hang in there. Kaye

    I really need to become a night owl but instead of going bowling at 11pm I have chosen to go to bed instead. If I went bowling I would not get home until 2;30 am or later. Regretfully that is late for me and I don't want to fall asleep while driving. I love to bowl and it would have been fun.

    I did manage to get a core workout in today and tomorrow I will be swimming, so that will be good.

    KarenL and Kaye- Good luck with your recovery. Be sure to do the exercises.

    Sherrie- Hope your 10K went well today.

    Robin- Glad your arm is finally scabbing over and that you were able to enjoy some cool temperatures.

    Hope all those who are dealing the extreme heat stay safe and hydrated during this heat wave.

    Michele- Welcome to the group. Just remember to take it one day at a time. Many of us have broken down the larger goal into manageable amount such as 10-20 lbs at a time. It does get overwhelming to think about the whole amount at once.

    Successes- climbing the 5.10.a-b walls and actually doing a core workout today. Today, I focused my workout on the core so no running or walking just strengthening exercises. It was good workout.

    June Goal recap- lose 4 pounds- YES. New activity- jogging so accomplished.

    Thanks for the reminder Laurie - oh how fast the month has passed for me. I'm glad to say I've lost 4 lbs this month. I'd like to keep one of the challenges at losing 4 lbs, since that's a respectable goal. Since we have new members and KarenLeona and Kay are recuperating we could keep the second, - Engaging in a new activity, or take suggestions. I'm pulling a total blank on new ideas. :blushing:

    Michelle - welcome to this fine group - Lauries suggestion is a good one - look to lose 10 lbs at a time and really celebrate each 10 lb. victory and reward yourself. Plan on what your reward yourself with - a shopping trip or whatever it is, something to look forward to. Something non-food related though. If you get discouraged - speak up and we'll help.

    Headed into the woods, first thing in the morning. I will catch up with all your posts and with the new July challenge when I return. Hope everyone has a great week and those that are struggling (with prednisone arms, new knees, the blues, or anything else) get to feeling better right quick!!!!!

    Good morning! Where has the month gone and why did it disappear so quickly? Looking back it has been a pretty good month.

    A thought for July challenge- try a new healthy recipe and share, or increase our water since we are in the heat of summer?

    The 10K went just great. And it felt so good to be out and racing. This is a sport I never would have thought I would have ever found enjoyable. The officials decided to just have us do the 5k course twice since with the heat and humidity they water more water stations and to keep closer eye on all of us. I beat my last year's record by nearly 3 minutes and finished in 1:21:30! I'm so happy.

    Have a great last day of the month, welcome aboard Michelle.

    Good morning.

    Mackbeth, Kelley, Alison- You are all getting more steps than me, good for you! Amy wears her FB on her bra too. CathEsh if you want a fitbit friend or anyone else with a fitbit here is the link to me on the FB site.

    public url: http://www.fitbit.com/user/23C9B8

    I read I should get a minimum of 6 hrs. of sleep a night and more would be better. I am going to try and go to bed earlier and see if I can get more. I made my FitBit site so everybody can view it but it will be changed back to just friends in a day or two so if you want to see it go there soon. Any of you with FitBits have their’s linked to Microsoft’s Health Vault? I got mine working again (I confused it when I added Amy’s FB and her MS HV was getting my steps) and now my food entered here and my sleep and steps get added every day to MS HV automatically. MS HV is free and I put all my medical stuff in there.

    Lauriek70- I lower my carbs and up my protein and let the fat fall where it does. I lower carbs for my diabetes and more protein for some muscle building. I’ll try to do it for a while and see what happens. That does seem strange to have fat the highest.

    Good morning all my friends. I am happy to hear so many of you are trucking right along. I dont know how ya'll handle the heat when it gets above the eighties. I thought I was going to melt yesterday:laugh: The good news is it is supposed to be even hotter today and I have a full day of outside activities that have to be accomplished. My husband and I are redoing the backyard fence and all the staining is my job. I am already feeling it in my arms after yesterday. I also had to trim the trees from the surrounding neighbors yards overhanging into our yard. We have to get everything done before the fifteenth when my husband leaves to go back to work.
    Karen and Kaye I am happy to hear you are both recovering well from your surgeries.
    Robin good news on the arm finally healing over.
    Imackbeth have a great time in the woods it sounds like a lot of fun.
    Everyone else have a great day and try to stay hydrated if you are living on the west coast.:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    just checking in...a very busy long weekend. Yesterday went to a Chinese party for the birth of my daughter's baby girl and tomorrow is my yearly Canada Day Party...of course, lots of good food and fireworks at dark. Been cleaning house all day and cooking. Plan on going to the gym Tuesday. Everything is closed July 1st.

    Saturday Success~I was down a pound this week, so things are moving in the right direction. My trainer told me today I looked thinner and I noticed leg muscles yesterday I hadn't seen before! I love seeing all the little changes. I found some t-shirts on sale for $5 yesterday so picked up several two sizes smaller - that way maybe I won't need any for a while. Now I need to find pants with a similar sale, since mine are falling off.

    Sunday Share~I'm Kelley, mid-40s loving life in the suburbs of Dallas. I'm single and an accountant living with Zoe, my 9-month old lovable Maine Coon tabby.

    @Tom~I don't wear my Fitbit very often to bed, but when I was wearing it regularly I was averaging 7 hours a night. I'm good on 7, much less and I'm a cranky pants. I haven't heard of that Microsoft site, may need to check it out. I think I'm going to order a new Fitbit today since mine has been acting weird since it took a trip in the washer - trying to decide if I should get another One or the new Flex.
    @Karen~Hope you enjoyed the Dirty Girl Mud Run, I was supposed to do one in Boston in a couple of weeks with some friends but had to bow out because of my injuries. :sad: Hope I can do one with them next year.

    I like the idea of adding a water challenge due to the high heat we are experiencing. Personally I am slacking on my water intake right now.

    Today, I had a really good swim. Completed a half mile in a little under 30 minutes. I really wanted to finish the swim before anymore storms hit. We have been getting rain off and on today with storms just popping up. Needless to say I swam a little faster than normal until I hit the 18 lap mark. The only way I can keep track of the laps is to do them in sets of three: freestyle, breast and back. Right now that seems to be working for me and that is what matters most. I finished off the 3 laps of side stroke and 3 laps of running drills- high steps easier in the pool, walking and jogging laps. It felt good to swim today.

    Sherrie- Great job on the 10K and for recording a Personal Best.

    Karen- Hope you had fun the Dirty Girl Mud Run and enjoy your time at the Lake. It sounds like a wonderful place to go and relax. Are you excited for your upcoming trip?

    Tom- I realize that you are going low carb have you tried adding Whole Grains to your diet? I have been eating breads that are made from whole grain- no bleached or unbleached flour. Thomas's English Muffins 100% Whole Wheat are good along with Arnold's sandwich thins- whole wheat and whole grain.

    Mel- Have a great party.

    Exercise Goals for the week
    Sunday- Swim
    Monday- 5K training workout with trainer
    Tuesday- Swim
    Wednesday- core
    Thursday- Rest Happy 4th
    Friday- Climbing
    Saturday- bike

    Hi guys! Sorry I was MIA, but I didn't get back from Lake Geneva until this evening and had to walk Gunner and do some laundry. Finally had time to catch up on posts.

    @laurie--I'm really getting excited about the trip to Zurich. However, my friend and I are running into some travel issues regarding our side trip to the French Alps. We have a room booked in a town called Sallanches, France b/c the Tour de France Stage 19 will finish on a mountain right there. Our plan was to take a train from Zurich to Geneva and then drive from Geneva to Sallanches--we reserved a car back in April for this purpose. On Friday, we got together to research the details of how to get from the Geneva train station to our car rental pick up, and it turns out that will be a challenge. :grumble: We are also concerned about the drive into the mountains, in general and b/c of possible road closures due to the Tour. I've done a bunch of research and learned that sometimes roads will close days ahead of time--it's up to individual towns to make those decisions and most don't publicize their plans. Our fear is that we will run into a road closure and have no idea what detour will get us to our destination, or have to go well out of our way which could cost a small fortune in fuel. :grumble: Now we are looking at taking a train all the way to Sallanches, but are struggling a bit to find that info as well. You would think with the internet this would all be easy, but it's not. We figured out the trains we need to take, but for some reason we can't buy our tickets online--we keep getting a message that says we must call the 800 number which one of us will do tomorrow. We also need to figure out if the train to Sallanches leaves from the same station where the train from Zurich will drop us. If not, we will have to figure out how to get from point A to point B within the city of Geneva. :huh: It's all very confusing right now, and I will be very happy once we get all of these details nailed down.

    Speaking of the Tour de France--Stage 1 yesterday was incredibly exciting!! A team bus got stuck under the finish line banner 20 minutes before the riders were due to arrive for a full-on sprint finish. Race refs toyed with the idea of moving the finish to the 3k banner, but luckily they got the bus moved just in time. Also, a big crash within the last 5 miles took out the top 3 sprinters which was a shame, but they all finished and are back in it today. I'm watching Stage 2 as I type this. I keep looking at the fans on the side of the road hoping that will be me in a few weeks!! :noway: Fingers crossed that it all works out.

    @kaye & karenleona--glad to hear you are both progressing in your recoveries. Hope you get to see that grandbaby, karen!

    @kelley--great job getting the scale to move in the right direction! Mine does so...and then it moves back the other way. :grumble: I had been hovering around 186, but I bet I will be back up tomorrow morning due to crazy eating (and drinking) over this weekend. The mud run was loads of fun! I highly recommend you do one once you are all healed up!

    @sherrie--congrats on the 10K and your new PR!!

    @michelle--welcome!! :flowerforyou:

    @robin--this seems like an odd thing to say, but I'm glad you are scabby. :wink:

    I had other comments, but I wrote a novel to laurie and now I've lost the rest of my thoughts, so I will sign off.

    Exercise Goals:
    Sat--Dirty Girls Mud Run (5k) DONE
    Sun--swimming DONE + walk gunner DONE
    Mon--walk gunner + 30DS + gym or run
    Tues--walk gunner + 30DS
    Wed--walk gunner + gym or run
    Thurs--walk gunner + gym or run + 30DS

    Well this weekend has been kind of busy! But Saturday I started level 3 of 30DS!!! Whoo hoo! Finally done with level 2!
    I also ordered Shaun T's Rockin Body DVD set

    This link will show you the DVD set I ordered

    I'm anxious to try it! It comes with a calendar and shows you what days to do what workouts!

    Today is my rest day, but my daughter, niece and I went on a walk then hubby and I did a little yard work. So it felt good :)

    On a bad note, I just took and updated my measurements......NOT good. I didn't realize the amount of inches I have gained back :/ BUT I am going to fix that and get it to where I just keep losing the inches now! It really made me more determined. I still can't believe I let myself gain as much weight back as I did...not all of it, but alot. But I've got this!

    Hope everyone had a great weekend!

    Howdy everyone! I've loved reading your comments and please know that my thoughts are with you all, just don't have time to catch up :ohwell:

    Was gone since Wednesday afternoon. I had to work out of the home office in Sioux Falls for a couple of days. I had a presentation to do and some meetings. It's nice to see everybody since I get kind of lonely in my home office. Friday evening, we surprised my best friend with a 40th birthday party. It was a bit tricky, but her husband and I pulled it off and she was shocked. Fun times, but between traveling, eating out, drinking and TOM, my weight loss didn't go very well. Oh well, new month, new me!!

    Trying to figure out our 4th of July plans, but here's what I have planned the first part of the week (my husband said something about going to the Turtle Races but I'm not sure when or where :laugh: ):

    Monday: 30DS & Aqua Fit
    Tuesday: 30DS
    Wednesday: 30DS & Aqua Power
    Thursday: Off
