    Daily Post (Saturday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: No, waaaay over
    Exercise: Yes, morning walk (back pain today)

    Comments: soooo I had the sundae at the picnic... and I’m having my cheat meal at the Korean/Japanese restaurant also. Huge numbers—- not a good day. My back pain had me doing a mild walk today. Hoping I can jump back on the wagon tomorrow and just enjoy today. 😉

    @SLIMn2016 I'm no stranger to back pain. Stretching and heat, those are what keep it at bay for me. i do several stretches and then put (moist) heat on it for about 20 mins, up to 3 times a day if it's really bad. Doing Olympic lifting, I'm a bit more proned to back pain than probably the average person, one false move and I can tweak it (and I'm still in the beginning stages so I have more false moves than more seasoned lifters) so I get it.
    And the key is getting back up when you fall, because we WILL fall...

    Daily Report Sat 8 Sep

    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Yes. 60 mins yardwork push mower, edging, weedeat. Walking with dog 32 mins

    Hurricane tracking season. Already have a few brewing, one heading our way. Been thru my share, it doesn't get easier. Gov declared state of emergency today and prepardness.

    @jcgator2016 I don't know you guys do it, I live in tornado alley (knock on wood), but that somehow seems better to me than living through a hurricane or several...

    Daily Post (Saturday)

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Sortof--ate a bit under maintenance, but quite a bit more than I normally do
    Exercise:Also sortof, took 15 mins and did 150 squats, bodyweight only

    Comments: I feel a bit guilty for this, but I ate at maintenance today. I decided that my arm is healing really fast and I ate a bit more than normal yesterday (but still way under) and I think that another day of eating a bit more will probably help my body heal faster, or at least that's what I believe and eating at a little bit higher for a couple days won't kill me. I think I'd much rather maintain for a couple days and get back to normal faster, rather than putting my body under more stress than needed and spend a longer time healing. Besides, there's still plenty of time to make up ground later in the week. It's just a bit frustrating to me mentally, I just need to remind myself, it's only a couple days, I might be good tomorrow, or Monday, but I'll be good for sure by Tuesday. (Here's to hoping it's tomorrow or Monday)

    Thanks Ashley! I'll try the hot compresses/stretching. Back on the wagon today---onward and upward (hopefully downward on the scale :D ).

    Hey Slimsons!

    Last week I slacked a bit and didn't put up a Question of the Week...sorry about that!

    So with that said, I have a good one this week.

    Name one weight loss or health/fitness myth you have heard.

    Let's see how many we can come up with...I'll start, this one is probably my favorite.
    "You need 5 servings of carbs a day." I'm living proof this isn't true, I haven't had 5 servings of carbs in well...14 months at this point and I'm thriving, so much more energy...my moods are better..and I've lost 60 lbs...so yep, don't need them. :smile:

    Great Job Slimsons! Let's keep the winning streak alive in Week 2.


    Daily Report Sun 9 Sep


    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Yes. Walked the dog 35 mins, Circuit training 30 mins

    Walking has to be the most boring exercise. But, it's the only exercise my Lab gets. Only Lab I have ever owned that hates the water and refuses to get in the pool. Or play in the yard. It's finally gotten cooler in the morning for her, so I guess we will be walking daily.


    As expected, Hurricane Flo has gained strength and intensified. Will turn into a major hurricane by tomorrow. Experts are saying it will hit the east coast as early as Thurs, predicting it will hit landfall in the Carolinas.

    Hurricanes are scary--lived in Florida for a bit when I was young and have been through a couple. My prayers o:) go out to you, your family and all the East Coasters buckling down tomorrow. Hope it goes out to sea so you all are spared the damage. Stay Safe! <3

    Track: Yes
    Calories: Yes
    Exercise:30 mins weight training, 90 mins walking

    Comments: So I cheated today, did legs, since I was itching to use my new squat rack...and while doing that I used and put away all my weights (on my new weight tree). My next project will be restoring all the old weights my father in law gave me, but i can't really do that right now. Anyways, tried to make up for yesterday, went for 3-30 min walks....and ate well below my normal amount...feeling good about today :smile:

    Weekly weigh in
    SW: 244.4
    CW: 245.4

    I’m traveling this week with my kids so posing my weight before I left. I have indulged when the opportunities presented themselves but also passed on ice cream and milkshakes that others were having. I could have done better but I also could have done much worse.
