@caramelgyrlk Wow! That's awful! Glad you and your daughter weren't badly injured.
Welcome, @djchaney73 ! I'm new here, too.
My new digital scale tells me I'm down to 170.6... down almost 2 1/2 pounds since I started here on 11/4.
I just ran a mile and a half, at my best time so far for that distance (ran a mile a little faster before, but lost it on the last 1/2 mile). I'm starting to feel so much stronger. Now to hold it together over Thanksgiving...

Good day kids. The owner of the Pilates/Yoga studio told me to come in and just lay in the heat and stretch. I did that and I wasn't as stiff. I will repeat stretching today in the heat. Thanks for the well wishes. I really appreciate it. Have a great everyone.4

Love this! Will keep me on track if I have to post each day!
Just finished 40 mins of power walking.
Very low calorie intake today. Haven't slept at all the past 2 nights so just trying to get through the day.1 -
First time lifting for over two weeks! Business trip then I came home and was super duper sick. I kept it light, and stayed home and lifted in my garage gym! I had bought a tv for out there a while back...I just chilled and watched Stranger Things! It was fun! Here’s my garage gym setup! Cheers everybody!

That will help. It can take longer than you think to get over that.0 -

Another sleepless night but I won't let it take me down.
Started the day with oatmeal, almond milk and a banana.
Apple and PB for snack later.
Will hit gym and power walk the track for40 mins.1 -
Started with an hour of zumba, then ran 2 miles. I'm still slow, but I'm getting faster, and I don't just fall apart after the first mile anymore! I bought a couple of really nice super thin merino blend shirts for cold weather running- and they're even my favorite color.. purple! Can't wait to wear them.
@tzbmidland - sorry about the sleepless night. I have struggled with insomnia off and on my whole life. I hope your sleep improves soon.1 -

Hi, Everyone! I saw this link on my sidebar and thought I'd join. I'm 48, and I started walking more regularly when my friend (a diabetic like me) went into hospice for kidney failure on Sunday, November 5th. She died that Tuesday. I don't want to die just yet, so I'm increasing my activity and I'm reaching out to people so that I can be held accountable on my weight-loss-get-healthy-live-to-be-a-hundred-journey. 2

Happy Friday, Kids. Just restarted strength work with my trainer this week. Whoa! quite a wake up call! Felt like a wet noodle after the first two sessions, but slowly getting better.2

Pre-surgery (Sept 22 and before), I worked out 5-6 days every week. I was an avid runner and LOVED boot camp. I got medically cleared to return to exercise about 2 weeks ago and I'm having a hard time getting back into my routine. I've worked out 4 times in 2 weeks. Part of the issue is that I'm still tired (from doing very little except healing for 6 weeks). I have a run in February (10K + half marathon back-to-back) and I need to get training.
I said all this to say. I HAVE to run tomorrow. Who is holding me accountable?

We're staying in a hotel on our way to Ohio for Thanksgiving. We didn't get to bed until midnight, but I set my alarm for 6:15 anyway and hit the treadmill.5
