TEAM LEADERSHIP CHANGE

As many of you know, Greg aka @Navydaddjtc, Captain of Workout Warriors and Mod, has been ill the last few weeks. He will be having surgery in the near future and has asked for help.

Our @melissafeagins has stepped up and agreed to captain the Warriors in Greg’s absence. Let’s all give a big shout out to Melissa for stepping up to the plate and helping our sister team!!!

THANK YOU MELISSA!!!!!

I reserve the right to visit and motivate here, but I am happy to help out with the Warriors.

We stole her back! LOL

Sorry I have been MIA the last day.
I have had a lot of chest pains so went to urgent care and hospital yesterday. They ruled out a heart attack. They think I should get a mammogram due to family history.
I saw my family doctor today and he thinks I just tore/pulled a piece of cartilage in my chest and prescribed a steroid and said I just have to suffer through it for 6-12 weeks. UGH

Sorry - I know that doesn't feel to good and really doesn't help you when it comes to running... I am glad it wasn't anything serious...

If it makes you feel any better, you are not alone... I have Tennis Elbow which is basically a tear in the tendons that connect the muscles of the arm to the bone of the elbow. I have to wear an elbow band for a while. Man does it hurt, especially when picking things such as cups up to drink.

I just got back from being a the NC Junior Beta Convention with my daughter for three days. It was a chaotic event with slam packed schedules and not a lot of good food options, but somehow I managed to end this week with a (very small) loss. I did use the stairs instead of the elevator nearly the entire time I was there (room was on the 8th floor) and I got up Tuesday morning and went to the hotel fitness center for an hour.

I weigh in the mornings usually and didn't have my scale with me, so my CW is from this evening. I'm hoping that in the morning my actual loss will be more, but I'll let that show for next week.

My goals for this week:
*Walk at lunchtime as many days as possible and continue going to the gym every morning at 5:30.
*Eat at least two meatless meals this coming week.
*Pay more attention to my sugar intake this week.

Ouch that sounds awful. Hope you’re doing ok!

@ShowKitten What is your opinion about Keto. Did it help you reach your goals? I always wanted to do Keto, but it is very tough to stay within 50g of carbs for vegetarians. Btw, overnight oats 👍.

Huge hugs to everyone having troubles this week. My mother's bf has really swollen legs and he fell down twice yesterday. We had to call an ambulance. The first responders got him up and sitting, which was a huge relief for him. By the time I headed home, he was finally eating something and keeping his legs elevated. He had gone to see his doctor on Monday and will be going again today or tomorrow. They're waiting on bloodwork and for the meds he's taking to take effect. To top of off, I had spent 6 hours on the road picking up my friend post-surgery and bringing her back to her place. I had to leave her abruptly to drive to my mom's bf's house. Thankfully my friend has her mother with her so I didn't have to race back there. It was quite the day yesterday.

I really liked keto, in 2017 I lost 50 lbs on it. My main problem is that I love vegetables so I found it hard not eating a lot of carrots etc. I've switched off it this year as I have new medication which is giving me a lot of stomach issues and a lot of the foods I liked eating on keto are aggravating this - I actually looked about 9 months pregnant last week - so Ive switched to Slimming World so I can up my vegetables. Plus, this lets me have little treats if I put them as 'syns'. The last part of Jan I went over on carbs and thought "feck it" and went totally off the wagon and had everything.

Keto is great if you don't cheat. If you don't do it 100% it doesn't really work.

50lb, that is awesome. I have to loose 21lb before August. My main issue is I have high% of body fat. Given my heavy cardio training, I am struggling to loose the fat. I have started to eat more protein and less carbs(100g net carbs) and hoping that it will help me shed some fat during the pre season before major training kicks in.
