    Honestly the fact I didn't gain more this week has me shocked. It has been super stressful as they ripped up the floors. My house was like a warzone. So we ate out a lot this week. But floors are down, they are beautiful, and the house is beginning to look like a home again. lol.

    That happened to me Saturday night, but it worked when I completed it Sunday. Sunday's diary posted OK last night.

    @JoDavo66 Mine was definitely health-related...had a condition that developed where I thought it was something fairly simple and routine and I was caring for myself at home. Suffered in silence for nearly ten days and when things were not improving, finally dragged myself to the doctor. She took one look and sent me directly to the hospital for emergency surgery. I had an abscess that exploded and it was infected, turned to sepsis and I nearly died. The ER staff said I was just a few hours away from death when I drove myself to the hospital. This was in 2017. My kidneys nearly shut down as well. After ten days in the hospital, I made the decision to work on my health. Things haven't progressed as I would have hoped...but I haven't given up.

    So my "why" is that I want to live life and be able to function without heavy meds and without pain. I HAVE to succeed.

    Good question...can't wait to read everyone's responses...

    Step Challenge!!! Time to renew your step challenge for May...weather is getting better, time to step up your game and get motivated!!! Haven't had many walkers sign up for the month yet...which is surprising. Send me your daily step goal and tell me your favorite place to walk or a new place you'd like to go to walk and I'll sign you up...also, if your first name isn't obvious from your USERID on MFP, give me your first name as well.

    Looking forward to seeing high stats this month...one step at a time!
    Let's go y'all!!

    Honestly almost all my steps come from the treadmill, or from work. I work 2 jobs, one is more of a desk job now days (used to not be but has turned into that) the other is always standing and moving.

    Square jeans. 32 waist x 32 inseam = square

    I made it there briefly years ago and then bounced. I might need to think rectangle.

    Its really so I can continue to travel with my wife. Being limited already by mobility is a bit tough, but I want to be able to do some of the more active activities she wants to do. I don't want a 3 mile hike to be a burden and we both love nature and exploration.
