All in all, that's a great day. Good job Theresa! 😎1 -

Have developed scabs where blood would pool at top of skin above veins and petechiae along the veins from wrist to elbow despite not training consistently. Today, was changing dressing on skin graft when vein on right arm popped open from wrist to elbow and started bleeding. Called drs.but couldn't see anyone. At least Endocrinologist appointment was moved to end of July.
So glad that your granddaughter's surgery went well. Wishing her a speedy recovery @lindamtuck2018 Hope the sunburn feels better soon.
@red1185 sounds like a fun weekend with your nephew. Got to enjoy those before he gets busy with school friends.
I can't say I know what your going through... Cause I just can't imagine. But it sounds painful, and yet your still working so hard. Hopefully you can get sorted soon. God bless and a speedy recovery! 1 -
F.R.I.D.A.Y!!!!! 🤠😃👍
In honor of leg day after work, I once again cut my Cardio this morning in Half. Am I making excuses? Maybe, but I just want to be fresh see... But I promise to catch the other half up on the weekend at some point.
For whatever reason though, I completely forgot to record the exercise on my Fitbit. But my Fitbit always tracks heartrate, so based on that my Fitbit adjustment at the moment, which is 370... So, I'll say 320 was burnt during my 15 minutes of Grunti Growni time on the Elliptical. 👍
And in honor of Jill, and a super impressive knock out punch from Tahlia this morning! (2 of my good pals on the social feeds) It's

Like I said when I popped in here yesterday, I got to go for my walk. It was great to just be out there by myself and relax. The sky was mostly overcast and there was a light breeze, just perfect. The rest of the day was the kids and I hanging out, and I also got some laundry done.
Today is grocery shopping day and then later a friend's house for dinner. I'm a little nervous, having no control over what they make to eat. Especially with weigh in tomorrow. I will just do my best.3 -
Happy friday everyone.
The christmas store I went to is a year round shop. They are just starting to get this year's stuff in. We only spent 115 bucks.
@Beautyofdreams that was scary. You are so calm about it.
@lindamtuck2018 glad your granddaughter came thru it ok.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 treat your new watch tenderly. It's a newborn.3 -

Ok this is not hovering around 208 for a few weeks. I knew before I stood on the scales I was going to be up a lot.
It is a combination of:
Sunburn
Not enough water
binge earlier in week
Eating too many carbs at night
Popcorn last night ( I always gain weight after popcorn)
I know what to change this week!
I love popcorn...and it has the same affect on me...3 -

I get headaches a lot since I had covid. I bought a roller with essential oils that helps me a bit. I roll it on my temples. I don’t know if it would help you. I was spending a fortune on Advil. They don’t help at all. Hope you are able to get some relief. Headaches are not fun.3 -

Wow! Awesome step count. It’s so much nicer to walk when it is a little cooler outside. I know you will do great tonight.888Angie888 wrote: »Steps 7/8: 14,565

I know you can get on track. I know I say this a lot but half the battle is not quitting. You show up every week so that’s a win. Your Friday steps are insane. Almost 28k. Impressive!2 -
