@lelbarou so sorry that physio is not easing your pain. Hop that you can find a solution.
@littleflutterby Congratulations on dropping below 300 while successfully taking midterms!
@363days I will look into morning papers.
@lindamtuck2018 glad you are able to take short walks again. Hope the pool opens soon and you can enjoy it. I remember what it was like before I lost feeling in my lower legs and feet and it was like electrical shocks or being hit with a ball bat. No fun for you. I found that wearing medical compression hose lessened the pain for me.
@azkunk that sounds like a good plan to enjoy wine in moderation.
Today we are 25 below freezing and not projected to get above zero for another few days. So looking forward to above 0 weather.1 -

Hey everyone! I'm backkkkk!
I was definitely overwhelmed, heading for a nervous breakdown, and going in and out of SVT continuously so I had to take a step back from literally everything and put the pieces back together. I lowered my workload giving myself 2 days a week off. I also cut back my days at the hospital so I'll be working more at the surgery center than the hospital at least until I get back to normal and no more episodes of SVT.
I have gained soooooo much weight that it is embarrassing. However, I am more motivated than ever to not only lose weight, but to get in the best shape ever. I bought this smart scale and it tells me EVERYTHING! So it has me with new goals and has really painted a picture of what my health looks like and what I need to do to get where I want to be so here goes...
SW: 249.8
Goal for next week:
*Lose 8 pounds
*Drink more water (start eliminating sodas)
*Strength training x 3
I can't really do a step goal this go around as my Fitbit took a poop. Literally charged to 100% and then just wouldn't turn on again after that. I have a birthday coming up so hopefully, I can get that replaced sooner than later. However, my boyfriend is ordering us a Tonal and I am SUPER EXCITED about that. I have a lot of things in store but I am getting it all started and will fill you guys in as soon as I get it done.
Hope everyone has been kicking butt as always! Can't wait to catch up with everyone again!

7,743 steps today
Plus 60 minutes on stationery bike
The weather was 19 today - a heat wave! I shoveled more snow today too. Will this winter ever end? We got 11 more inches of snow today.

Congrats to all who hit their step goals! If you haven't signed up for the step challenge, you might want to consider it:) If I don't get all my steps in for the day, I've been known to walk around my house at night to get them in:) When I do that, it is usually the time I would be sitting on the sofa watching TV, so it's extra movement and all because of the step challenge:)
@jimboden3
Very nice loss! I know you must feel really good about that:)
@draby2011
Glad to see that you're back. Sounds like you have made some positive changes that will help you be successful and healthy.
@azkunk
Thank you. I see lots of green checks on your post:)
@28Haveitall2020
Super loss!
@littleflutterby
Congrats on getting to the 2s and doing it while taking midterms!
@lindamtuck2018
You are going to love, love, love when that pool finally opens. So sorry that the February blahs are hitting you:( It is so hard to have pain, especially foot pain, when you're trying to get exercise in.
@Beautyofdreams
Aqua fit sounds great! I hope you do not believe the things your mother tells you. I hope you know your worth. Are you finding ways to empower yourself with this situation?
@lelbarou
Dealing with nerve pain must be so hard. My mom has nerve pain in her feet, and I see how hard it is for her.
@Tazaria87
Wii is so fun and good exercise!
Congrats to @z10rtza, @lelbarou, and @Bluetail6 on your fantastic losses this week and being #1,2,3!

@beautyofdreams
Oh my. I’m sorry to hear your mom puts that kind of pressure on you. I think the fact you are aware she is not supportive, is a good thing. If I can make a suggestion? Think about why she’s saying or behaving that way. Is it to do with you, or is it more to do with her?? My gut tells me this is a ‘her’ issue, and not a ‘you’ issue. When she says those things, remember it’s a ‘her’ problem. On the topic of being lonely if you moved out, I can tell you from experience whenever I’ve someone (friends or family), when I’m on my own, I ALWAYS experience a period of loneliness, but eventually it’s replaced with contentment and even enjoyment of my alone time. I find when I live alone, I engage my friends and family MORE than when I lived with them. But, when I need to, I can retreat to my peace whenever I want!
@Z10Rtza
Wow, awesome job on your steps!! That’s so good!!
@littleflutterby
Congrats on reaching the 200s!!!!! Such an inspiration for me.

So I'm on vacation right now. I've done a little bit everyday, which makes me feel good. Today I did laundry (still not done, LOL), ran some errands, make two recipes to freeze portions for lunches/dinners later on, and attended my virtual Zumba class tonight. I'm feeling good.

February 15 – 3,567
I didn't sit down and set specific goals for this week. I did make a list of things I'd like to do, so I think the list will be good to stop me from sitting and doing nothing. I did have to work OT this past Sat, and probably have to cancel my vacation day on Thursday, and I have to work OT this coming Sat and the Sat after. I'm focusing on how nice my paycheque will be, and trying to organize my life well enough that the additional work won't have too negative of an impact on my diet and exercise.2 -

I can convert your snow shoveling into steps if you tell me for how long and if it was heavy,moderately or light1 -

Welcome back 1 -
@draby2011 - welcome back. I’m glad you are thanking steps to get healthy. I know you’ve must have seen lots of SVT over the years but when it’s you on the other side of the monitor, it becomes a wake up call. That scale seems cool, who makes it?
@lcfa5317 - shoveling is a workout too!
@iradi8 - I just walked around my bedroom to get 600+ steps before bed to meet my goal
@heatherbluebell - sounds like vacation is off to a productive start ... enjoy your time off
