@its_cleo Is the bike something you think you'll be able to do eventually or will your neck be an issue? It is in an uncomfortable position depending on what kind of bike you have. I'd be ok with a cruiser or mountain bike but not a 10 speed. I'd love to be pre-injury age!

@trooworld great loss, wtg!

@AustinRuadhain picture all of us standing behind you or cheering you on for your call as we're all doing it! Unless of course you have a public speaking phobia, the thought of speaking in front of even 10 people would have me shaking like a leaf so we're all rooting for you!

I probably shouldn't even do a daily check-in today but I will!
Calories- under
Exercise- none, yeah, none! Not even one stretch, feels so weird.
Water- so-so

Habits
Cardio- none
Weights- none, did yesterday
Yoga/core- none
Recipe- last one was cheesy turkey mac, skinnytaste cookbook. It was pretty good but cilantro tastes like soap to me so I left it out (was a lot too) and something was obviously missing. I dumped a jar of jalapeno juice in it and it was way better, none of my herbs would've help it. Remade maple/soy/siracha salmon too, that recipe is the bomb, I don't know if I'll ever go back to lemon juice and herbs! Next up.....siracha cauliflower! I think! Have cauliflower and broccoli to use up and cauliflower was a flat price per head so I bought the biggest one, it's going to be a few meals-worth!
10,000 steps- topped out at 1000

Tiny Habits
Totally suck at right now, didn't do any today but did two out of three yesterday

I posted this on my feed, went to the walk-in clinic associated with my doctor's office yesterday as I'm two weeks out from my appointment and was hurting real bad. Well, I had a fever so everything went out-the-window, I ended up getting tested for COVID, sent to the ER for chest xrays, and was in Sacramento for about 5 hours total. The ER doc basically told me I was stupid for thinking I could escape pain clinics, pain meds for relief, and should've expected my nerve pain to worsen (partially in those words minus the stupid part). She was going to help me get treatment lined up but that never happened. So it's not artery problems, my nerve pain's back even more widespread than before, not sure what I did to calm in down for 1 1/2 years or even if it was better not having some freedom from it to start dreaming of a new life to be honest, but now I'm wondering what I did RIGHT to calm it down after so many years and for so long and how to do it again. I woke up with the sniffles so I'm not going anywhere for a bit and won't be seeing my parents though it's most likely allergies. Needless to say, pain relief was pushed aside. I was dying after sitting "normal" in the ER for so long, completely took today off for the first time I can remember, it's actually harder for me to NOT do something, never would've imagined that! I tried clothes shopping online and it was super frustrating and promised myself no working out for one day, not even one stretch, so I had nowhere to channel my frustration at everything being sold out or taking a month to deliver! I'm debating on getting an air fryer too since I have no idea when I'll be able to replace my microwave/oven combo or if it can be fixed. That's all my excitement for the day, no videos to post. Talked to some friends, my aunt, and filled my family in on my adventures yesterday.

Weigh in Apple852hk
Week 4 - May 2020 Sunday
PW 154.7 (70.2kg)
CW 151.2 (68.6kg)

Lost - but only back to where I was as I ate too much last week.

Ate fried food but small portions and no treats apart from a small sliver of coffee cake last night.

Didn't nap this week so more energy. Not feeling as tired too so don't feel need to eat chocolate.

First time I brought chocolate as it was a reduced price - and then not eat it on the same day. I still have them uneaten. But there is that thought that I'll eventually eat it. How can I change it to feel like I'm not that person anymore who'll devour a whole packet rather than just a small portion?

New GOALS
1. Write a postcard before wanting to snack on chocolate
2. Say one thing I'm thankful for before eating a meal

We have one more week left this month so let's make it our best week yet!!!

@Katmary71 Thank you! I've heard people either fall into the "cilantro tastes like soap" or they love it category. Sorry that you fall into that category. What a bad experience in the ER. I'm sorry you had to go through that. I'm glad you were able to talk to your friends and family about it though. That must have helped some.

@apple852hk Have you tried portioning it out and putting all the portions in the freezer? I don't know if it would help, but it might. Also might help to write on the baggies how many calories each piece is. Good luck!

@TeresaW1020 Thank you! I hope you enjoy your hot dogs. We are having ribs, baked beans and potato salad and I should have a light lunch to balance it out or I'm going to be zooooweeee in points today!

@mrmcgrath a daiquiri sounds really, really good!

Hello everyone! My husband and I are going to make our Memorial Day food today. I'm using my Ninja Foodi to pressure cook ribs and we are making baked beans and potato salad. I don't eat this food very often, maybe twice a year, so I'm really going to enjoy it! I hope you enjoy your day, too.

Did you ever see yourself in a photo and feel- "wow, I didn't know I look that fat". Well that's what happened to me yesterday. DD graduated virtually from high school- so we took a bunch of family photos. It was sort of a happy/sad day- realizing that soon she will be leaving home, but yet very happy for her achievements. Anyway, I'm trying to get my mood on the rise today because I don't want to fall into the pit of despair. Nothing good ever happens there!

Check-In

SATURDAY: 🟢
Calling it an overall win
I must say that you guys are super awesome. Making the call yesterday made my palms sweat, and it did help to imagine my Slimpossible friends as a cheering section. 🍿🎉🥳
It released an amazing amount of energy to get that done. Today, I got started decluttering in the kitchen while I was brewing coffee, and I got a big task on my other project (Scouts) done by a little after 12.

- Walk with husband - however long he is game - 45-60 min?
- Bonus workout of some kind, yoga or weights ⚪

Sunday check in

Hiya gang! Today was a little strange for the times....would have been a normal day, back in the (pre-COVID) day. We hosted a cookout, inviting the usual suspects and allowing each of them to decide what the comfort level was for attending. It was a 'crowd' of 8 and that was ok - my mom and stepdad came and I think it was good for them to be there. So - what does that look like, now? Visiting and eating outside. Masks when within 6 feet of folks but the chairs were spaced mostly at the 6 feet requirement, on upper and lower decks. Sanitizer strategically placed and tongs and utensils for everything, no exceptions. So it was fun but odd and only for about 3 hours. My youngest son came over but not his wife and the grand baby did not but we went to see them last night - much the same routine as we had for today. It was awesome to see sweet Hazel yesterday but no snuggles and that was hard. Good Lord - I'm reminding myself that there is so much to be grateful for in general and really so in the last two days. I'm working at not being a baby about it and not feeling sorry for myself but I wish it was easier. You know who I think of when I start feeling sorry for myself....? Anne Frank - what she and her family went through in hiding for more than 2 years makes my COVID-19 inconveniences pales to absolutely NOTHING by comparison.
