Weigh in day...
Sorry guys, with all the hard work, and calories burned and the strict diet... I still managed to gain week this week. I sort of suspected it judging how my ring felt on my finger, the sore knee's and even the vaccine shot on Saturday. But it kind of stung my pride all the same. That all said I am firmly aware that I did not gain fat this past week, I only gained water weight at worst, and with all the exercise maybe even gained a lil muscle.

PW 417.2
CW 418.8
Gained 1.6 Pounds
Ps. ( I think i typo'd my last weigh in by .1 pounds as my scale only reads in .2 increments lol. Should of been 417.2 not 417.1).
Blood Ketones 2.2
Blood Glucose 107
GKI 2.70
Good Monday Morning everyone...
I'm taking a 2nd day off (I decided to do that before I stepped on the scales). My left inner / lower portion of my knee is still painful to the touch, and travels down the inner shin about 6 inches or so. Feels like a bruise, but I'm sure it's nerve or tendon related.
Good new's is the Power rack is assembled, as well as high/low cables, and the adjustable bench. Still need to clear out a shelving unit, fireplace and a TV.
The power cage is huge... It does literally take half the Room. (which I suspected... but still to actually see it. lol)
Sneak Peak only...
The picture shows the safety bars and assorted J-hooks and dip bars in strange locations... They are all interchangeable anywhere on the posts... And we just slapped them on there somewhere temporary to get them out of the box and out of they way. Now I have to actually pickup my olympic bar, and olympic weights, as well as throw on my olympic weight horns... Get and set up my Dumbbell stand in the corner? Eventually order a second Dumbell stand for the other corner when they go back in stock. Get the Elliptical in and setup... And then clean everything up and take some more pictures.

Sunday’s check in
✅Steps 5,712
✅Sleep
✅Walk
Got my walk and more importantly my steps in yesterday. I was short on steps so I walked around the apartment to make sure I would hit my goal. I am over by a couple of 100 as I couldn’t fall asleep so I got up for awhile and yes I did eat. 😬 My anxiety has returned full force today. I always do better when Garry is home but he has to go to work. On Wednesday I have an appointment to follow up on my sleep and anxiety.
My weight jumped today a lot this morning but I was expecting it after our supper yesterday. I am going to drink lots of water today but for some reason it is really hard to shake the water weight from jiggs dinner. I usually end up with a gain any week that we have it. Maybe its because it’s such a big jump on the scale. 🤷♀️ As soon as I finish my coffee I am getting my physio exercises done and off for a walk.
Have a great Monday!5 -
Been up since 5:30am ...Still uncomfortable and pain(not as intense) from hernia surgery ...Wednesday will be 2 weeks since having surgery .... I see my GP this morning and my Surgeon this afternoon (getting the rest of the staples out)6

Grats to the team for 1st place. I have a bone to pick, though. Last Wednesday @lcfa5317 logged in with an 8 lb loss. Were they overlooked or exempt or did I misread it again?
I know this is not my department anymore but seen as I entered those weights in the spreadsheet I thought I would reply. Based on previous weeks reported weight, the 8 pounds appears to be a typo. I just rechecked the last few weeks reported weights in the chat. Sorry for any confusion.2 -

Relaxing day out in the sunshine. Hubby and daughter made French toast in the am for me skipped lunch and had a turkey burger for dinner.4 -
Insight Timer, the meditation app, is having a live event tomorrow at six (I think that is pacific time) about breathing to reduce anxiety. https://insig.ht/e/jWeLjNnh9fb
I am not sure how the whole thing works if you don't have the app? Maybe the link above?

I keep forgetting to answer a question you asked awhile back about veggie burgers. For some reason it popped in my head to ask my daughter the other day and I just noticed the note I jotted down. She said the ones they like best are the Hillary’s World best vegetarian burgers. My granddaughter also likes the president choice veggie burger. For a fast food one she really likes the Harvey’s veggie burger. I have had that one and it is really good. Do the have Harvey’s in the states for some reason I think it is a Canadian chain? Hope this helps and sorry it took me so long. I have a terrible memory.

5/9 Steps Check-in: 7,502
A very nice Mother's Day yesterday. Had a leisurely morning and a nice early afternoon nap. Had dinner out with my 3 kids and stayed under my calories. I ate some edamame, salmon and tuna sashimi, some hibachi vegetables, a little miso soup, and my daughter's 2 appetizer shrimp. Yum!
Today is already a busy work day plus I have to watch my nephew for I don't know how long this evening. Not to mention, the weather is iffy so not sure what I am going to do to get in my 30 minutes of exercise today. Hmmm2 -
@lmf1012
That sounds like a lovely Mother's Day with your children (and steps). Congratulations on staying under, while eating out. Great planning! 👏🏻
@Megan_smartiepants1970
Yup, I'd be frustrated too. The GP should have given more notice.
So glad you're getting the rest of the staples out today and hopefully will get some answers. Hopefully, the surgeon will permit some walking - I know you really want to get back out there.
Thank you for leading and managing the step challenge for us, I know it's a lot of extra work. You're awesome for taking that on! 🤗
@888Angie888
Thank you for sharing. 🤩
@rlaskey2
I'm glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day with your family AND were able to get all of those steps in to boot. 🙌🏻
@lindamtuck
Congratulations on getting 3 out of 3 ✅ 🎉 ! Oh no, I'm sorry the anxiety is so bad. Hopefully on Wednesday, you receive some helpful suggestions for sleep and anxiety management. Good plan to get those exercises done and go for a walk after your coffee! 🤗

Really loving my fitbit, would never push myself this hard without it 👍2 -
Went to my Surgeon ...he took 3 staples out and told me to come back on Thursday or Friday to get the other 2 out ......I am tired of driving so far away ...but at least I can resume to walking Aspen
I am not ready to walk my dog... just tried going around the block and it hurts like hell .... I think I will take the entire month off from walking and resume when my daughter is done with school ...She is out of school June 10th that way we can go out early in the morning and not have to rush home because she has classes with her other teachers4 -
@Poobah1972
Your knee sounds so painful. I hope it heals quickly. Your workout room looks like it belongs in a gym! Love all the new exercise toys that you got/getting. Great job on the steps 👏🏻👏🏻 be careful with that knee.
@Tazaria87
That's such a fun way to celebrate Mother's Day! So glad you had a wonderful weekend. Oh wow, he's graduating preschool. Don't they grow up fast?
Congratulations to our Top 3
