Hey, all. Haven't been around for a few days. Not too much damage, just lost focus and let some discouragement throw me off track for a bit.
JFT, 12/28
1. Stay within calorie limit
2. Walk the dogs
3. Strength day: Push Circuit 1
4. Get in some walking or a short cardio session (elliptical or bike) >10k steps
5. No drinking! Geez.
@abacus93jp, glad to hear your husband is recovering!
@47Jacqueline, beautiful work on the paintings!
Doctor told me yesterday no more high-impact cardio so I'm trying to deal with that thought. It's what's kept me off medication for the last couple years. I need to find an alternative, I guess, that's not so hard on my feet. Trying not to let this overly discourage me. ALL my favorite workouts are high-impact and I really need them. Yikes.

Thank you! Hang in there! Can you do what you were doing before just not so intense? It may feel strange at first but at least you are still doing something you like.0 -

Oh! Come on! Where's your happy thoughts!
This is a perfect opportunity to branch out, expand your hoilrizons and grow!
You get to try lots of new exercises, you lucky thing!
How about .... rowing!?! Do you live near water, is there a rowing machine at the gym or recreation center, can you buy a used one off the internet?
Or...biking, swimming, water aerobics, walking, elliptical, stairs or stair machine, WEIGHT LIFTING, kayaking, sailing, Tai chi, rock climbing, hiking, yoga, pilates, resistance bands, snow shoeing!, step aerobics, ballroom dancing, rollerblading, cross country sking, down hill sking or golf!0 -

Just got home from the hospital with my husband. Had some complications but is okay now. Walked around the hospital for my cardio, stayed within calories but way over sodium! Feel uncomfortable but hopefully now that I am home I can limit my sodium intake and feel okay again.
JFT log everything, walk, stay within calorie, nutrients and macros. Let everyone know how I am doing. This helps me feel more accountable for my actions! Thanks everyone for this thread! So helpful!
Hang in there! We are behind you all the way.
@Elaine352962 Thanks Elaine. Love the new drawings, especially the chimp.
@47Jacqueline Very sensitive watercolours. Great movement in them.TerriRichardson112 wrote: »abacus93jp wrote: »abacus93jp wrote: »Thanks for all of the encouragement! I don't plan on quitting! I plan on continuing this journey one day at a time!
