    @Fitness327wk Sally, I’d like to thank you for your post on the gratitude journal. I’ve been struggling with things for a few weeks now and the gratitude journal idea sounded like it would help bring some positivity back into my life. I’ve ordered a lovely journal (see pic) which has positive quotes at the top of each page and it has space to write about things I am grateful for, small daily victories, things and people I appreciate etc. I think that taking just a few minutes each day to write in the journal will be good for my mental wellbeing. I can’t wait until it arrives!

    Thanks for the inspiration 🤗💕

    My sisters are driving me crazy!!!!!

    Yes, they'll do that. I have 5 of them.

    I only have one and she's currently driving me crazy.

    Thanks. I have to learn to ignore the drama. But it’s so hard right now.

    Track: Yes✅
    Calories: Yes✅
    Exercise: Yes✅ I got out this morning and rocked a walk around the OC trails today. Plus we got a tad bit of spritzer of rain.
    Goals/Day/Comments: I’ve decided that right now running is not in my cards as I have arthritis is both knees above the knee cap. So I go back to walking the pounds off.

    I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up with this board too much. I also haven't been able to do as much walking. My Dad is still in the hospital. His arm is black from the shoulder to the wrist where they removed the blood clot. He's hoping he gets discharged tomorrow.

    Walking is good, too. I'm up to about 4.5 miles and 15:10 pace. I'm still too heavy, but my plan is to start jogging when I get down to around 240 or so. I used to jog before I put my weight back on and am looking forward to it again. But that was 5 years ago, and a lot can happen to a body in5 years. We'll see how it goes.

    Tracking yes
    Nutrition. Under, but low on fiber
    Exercise. Doubles tennis 90 minutes

    Tuesday
    Tracking yes
    Nutrition under, but still low on fiber, but a big salad for lunch
    Exercise. Doubles tennis 120 minutes

    We are getting ready to be away from the house for a week, so I mistakenly decided not to buy my supply of fruits and veggies.

    Anyone have any tips for surviving long car trips?
    Unfortunately, skinny husband stocked up on chewy candy for the drive. Hard to resist when bored. Right now we are in negotiations for an audiobook that we can agree on. We have such differing tastes in books.

    I enjoy seeing how everyone is dealing with the unexpected things that take them from their routines. Thanks for sharing and to everyone- we can keep making healthy choices together!

    Track yes
    Calories yes
    Exercise yes 10 minutes of squats on Total Fit Gym
    Water 140oz
    Goals/comments
    Praise'm Praise'm

    So I gain weight this week once again after having a loss last week but I still will prevail. STAYING POSITIVE. . .Also I decided to force myself to workout just in case I was exaggerating the pain my knees were in due to my Physical therapy session last Wednesday but nope I'm still injured but I still force myself to continue the workout on my Total Fit Gym just slowed down and straightened one leg and continue the squats on my machine but I got 10mins in. So I'm very happy. You know it's something when you get upset with your body cause you can't workout but I hope I didn't mess up my leg worse but I couldn't go another day without working out.
