I did a jog/walk early yesterday morning plus collected my daughter from school and I went to Yoga for an hour last night. Despite all that I slept very poorly so I’m pretty whacked today.2 -
Done my first workout video. Walking with Leslie. Going to do the biggest loser workout later today. Also going for a walk. I hope shaking things up will get me out of the 250’s been there to long. But I will be happy with any loss it means I am going in the right direction. Waiting on the doctor to see if a April date for going back to doable.
I love the walking with Leslie videos especially if the weather is too bad to get outside! Hope you enjoy them. There are a bunch on YouTube, so there's always a variety from which to choose.1 -

I was offline the Sat-Sun-Monday. No scales, limited internet. My apologies for giving it a miss. Fell off the wagon yesterday and regretting it, but it’s a new day today and I’m on track again. I’m trying to catch up with everything. Congrats to our winners!! I wish I were in your shoes :-)3

My PF is flaring up-going to keep my activity down for the week
Mine has been bad too since starting these treadmill workouts. I bought some new her cushions yesterday so will try the treadmill tonight and see if they help. But maybe I am aggravating it?? I don’t know - still trying to figure it out.
Have you tried freezing a small bottle of water and then rolling your foot over it several times a day. It doesn't cure it but it does help
Ohhh. PF = plantar fasciitis. I had been wondering.
So, I had to deal with plantar fasciitis, and it does not bother me any more. I did daily stretching and changed the way I slept in order to make sure I was not flattening out my foot at night.
I have heard that the Strassburg Sock is a really useful aid to use while sleeping. Amazon carries them for about $40.
One more general thought -- be careful about compensating. If it is bad enough to cause you to carry yourself unevenly, consider slowing down enough that you can consciously carry yourself normally, so as to avoid other potential injuries.0 -
Monday check-in
Calories - under
Water - on track
Exercise - martial arts class
Today - Food and water on track, long walk, martial arts practice3 -
Monday Check In
Calories: I was under today, for real! I weighed everything and was super diligent about entering things properly in my diary. I’m super curious about what the scale will say
Water: not enough but not horrible
Exercise: only 8K steps or so. I tried to do a treadmill workout but my 5 year old sabotaged it. At least she got some time in right? I like that she wants to exercise with me so I try not to discourage her from “my time.”
Goal for tomorrow:
1. Plan my food after I finish my check in
2. Drink one more thing of water at work (the thing is a big Starbucks reusable drinking cup I got in Maui)
3. Go to my chiropractor appointment (my self care for the day)
4. Get 1000 more steps in tomorrow than I did today
great day good goals2 -
no snow today but lots of wind last night so i have snow drifts to that care of. then to docs office. Then come back to workout
Caloiries under

Monday check-in
Calories were a little bit over
Water was good
Exercise Ok I'm really bummed out because I hurt my knee--I was going down the stairs in the dark and I misjudged the last step and slammed 2 steps down really hard. I am in pain today. I had a lot I wanted to do today and I can't do anything! I hope it goes away soon. I need a hug.

It sometimes comes off in an uneven manner, its frustrating when it slows, fingers crossed you see it come off faster next week.1 -

Calories: under
Water: still under
Exercise: 6800 steps and 40 mins kickboxing
Tomorrow: keep on exercising and avoid bingeing on junk food4 -
@BoldBerry : have you tried taking a warm bath with epsom salt? I find it helps with muscle pain. Hope the pain passes soon!1

Tuesday check-in
Well, this was not a good day for me. I didn't track anything and I quite honestly don't know if close to my calorie goal, over, or well over. No exercise - ended up being an unplanned rest day. After a really awful night's sleep, I finally acknowledged to myself that I'm having an issue with my shoulder. I got an appointment with the doctor this evening, and she diagnosed as bursitis. Honestly it's been going on for months, possibly started last summer when I hyperextended at the ropes course, but got noticeably worse last week. So no lifting or swimming for at least a couple of weeks, possibly longer depending on what PT says. So I'll be running more, and hoping that my IT band doesn't flare up. I don't handle injuries well. I've gained about 20 pounds over the last few years, pretty much all during periods of injury.
Yep, I opened a bottle of wine tonight.3 -

I have heard bursitis is so painful!
Give yourself a couple of days to deal with the injury, come up with some options and keep on track with your plan. It’s 2019 and this year and this injury is going to be different! I know its easy for me to say but I have to say it because we are all here to support one another. You can do this!2 -

4. Get 1000 more steps that I did yesterday and today2 -
Hey steppers, it looks to me like we are short two competitors in the Step Challenge. I just looked at the spreadsheet, and some teams have 12 members, but we only have 10 listed on the January sheet. I'm not sure who is heading this up, but thought I'd bring it to the attention of the group.
Anybody want to join the step challenge this month? We need two more...0 -

I have heard that ultrasound treatments and laser treatments work well if you can find those services.TeresaW1020 wrote: »Username:TeresaW1020

I’m telling you...it’ll come. Have faith. Have you been on WW Connect at all? I just saw a woman there who lost around 100 pounds I think it was who said she gained the first week.0 -

The important thing is that you try again. Won’t always be perfect. You have inspired me with your list.
I’ll jump back in the step challenge if you don’t get any other takers. I’m not stepping a lot but something is better than nothing.1 -
Tuesday check in....
Calories might have been over some. Wasn’t sure how accurate I was with my beef stroganoff. Man it was delicious. 😁
Water: Still struggling getting 100 oz a day but working on it.
Exercise: Squeezed a short workout this morning (cardio with some chest/shoulders/arms) in case I couldn’t get one in tonight. Good thing I did because tonight was a write off. Still managed 12,000 steps.
Goal for tomorrow: Better planning and tracking. 100 oz of water, Lower body strength training. Can’t wait for weigh in day. Pretty sure a lot of the Christmas weight is gone.2
