Getting 14k steps is awesome!
@Aqualang26
Laura, fantastic loss! You are in the green week after week. That is amazing. What is your number one tool for weight loss?
@Poobah1972
Great leg day! Congrats to Lynn also. Do you think having a workout partner makes working out better? Yummy! Your supper looks delicious.
@mthomas0228
Enjoy your vacation!
@rwood566
Great check in! 11 machines sounds pretty intense. When I have a flare I sometimes get bumps on my feet and I have a permanent one on the bottom of my toe. It can make walking difficult sometimes. I hope your lump has gone down and you get out for your walk.
@jayenguk
That’s great that those clothes keep fitting better. Before you know it they won’t be fitting as they will be too big. Have a great gym session!
@mari_moulin
All ✔️ again. Well done! Your steps will be out of the world tomorrow. Enjoy your day!

Friday check in
✅ Steps
❌ Sleep Score (above 75)
✅ Exercise
✅Reminders 7/8
I gave myself a check for the reminders to move as it was impossible to get all 8 as we were driving back home. My back was killing me from the weekend and the drive home so I decided to go to the pool once I put everything away. I swam laps and did a short workout. Once I was done I just floated around the pool for awhile. It was so relaxing. We had to move our bedroom furniture around yesterday as we bought a recliner for the room for me to use when watching tv and reading. It should be good for my back. It’s coming this afternoon and I am so excited to get it.
The scales were not too bad at all this morning. I had a 1.2 pound increase from Tuesday. Considering we had pizza yesterday I know it’s pretty well all water weight. I am off to plan my next week then it’s pool time followed by grocery shopping. Also, my husband gets his dentures today so we are booking our flights to Newfoundland tomorrow and we will be heading there in about 2 weeks.
Have a great Saturday!

I’m headed to the gym soon so I will be 2/3 classes this week. Next week should be better, no work events and I am taking a couple days off. Also getting ready to sign up for a 5 or 10k walk with a friend in September so that will motivate me to up my step count as it approaches.
After the gym I’m headed to Albuquerque with my hubby. Going to visit a historic home and garden in the valley, go to the Asian grocery, and later have dinner at our favorite Vietnamese restaurant. That will be hard to track but I’ll be back on it Sunday.

Sorry for the late post. We had a consult for solar yesterday after work. The guy turned out to be a childhood friend of my husband. We live 2500 miles from where they grew up and they haven’t seen each other since the 6th grade. Needless to say, it went late.4 -
I can not believe my little girl (well not so little anymore) will be 16 in October and she will be a Junior in H.S come this Monday... We go get tested on Tuesday for Covid ..... Dr. put me back on Metformin(which gives me a headache .. I am on predistone .... the 2 medications for the nebulizer gives me a headache and a sore throat...I am not doing well with my eating ... I am eating convenient food .... Everything I eat is extremely salty ... I am not giving up but at this time I am not going to be hard on myself ... I will eventually get thru this and I will start over on my journey ...5

Question for Fitbit users:
My watch is showing 6,099 steps right now but the Fitbit app is showing 5,989. Anyone have this issue before? I know it’s only a 110 steps but every step counts right?1 -

I hope things start improving soon. Sending positive thoughts for a negative covid test on Tuesday. You have to do whatever it takes to get better.1 -
@Megan_smartiepants1970 - I hope the COVID test comes back negative and you feel better soon. My steps are below but I think you should take a break and get well.

Thank you @lindamtuck2018 and @azkunk ... I have decided to move to support until I feel better2

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - if you might have COVID and are needing a nebulizer at this time, I highly recommend to take it as prescribed despite the headache. Do not take anything for granted, if you get short of breath or have any difficulty breathing, go to the emergency room. Im not trying to scare you. I just know that a lot of people think it’s just a cold/flu and think they can get through it.

I highly recommend one of these devices. It measures blood oxygen levels. Normal is 95-100%. Below 90% requires oxygen. COVID is known for silent hypoxia. Oxygen levels are much lower than the symptoms people are presenting with. This device is a great too to have in your first aid kit and is not expensive.4 -
@azkunk ... I do have a nebulizer and I have 2 medications for it ... I do 1 in the morning and 1 6 hours later ...He put me on predistone and azithromycin that I take for 4 days until they are gone ... He will be calling me on Monday to see how I am doing ... and I go in for the covid test on Tuesday ... I have asthma so I am use to these breathing treatments ..I will do anything to not end up back in the hospital like I did in 2019 ...thank you for your concern I greatly appreciate it2

Got all the grocery shopping done then got ready for my friend to come over with her two kids for movie watching. Unfortunately our two boys were not in a sitting still mood apparently so it was a bit of a disaster, but we made it through the movie somehow haha. Thankfully our two girls were in perfect behavior mode and had eyes glued to the movie the whole time.3 -

I have been stressed out for the last couple of days trying to figure out if this vacation would happens since the hurricane/tropical storm was headed out way when my daughter and I are supposed to fly out in the am. Luckily it has changed paths slightly so we should be good and I won’t have to worry as much about what is happening at home. Can’t wait to wait family we haven’t seen in years and have a change of scenery.2 -
Good afternoon! Steps for 8/20. 11,687.
The scale is down again today, so I’m feeling good about that, but I work the next four nights so experience tells me I’m gonna gain water weight even though I have no idea why. My diet and steps stay the same, but I always gain when I work 🤷♀️2 -
@megan_smartiepants1970 Hugs to you and your daughter! Hope that you don't have Covid. Prednisone raises blood sugar and usually increases hunger. People on high doses often experience fat deposition in face, back base of neck and upper abdomen. Hope you come off it soon. Doctors will use high doses for people suffering from severe respiratory coughs. Don't understand why but have had to increase prednisone on those occasions. of respiratory coughing.
@littleflutterby hope Gael recovers quickly and completely from surgery. You must be very sytessed between her surgery and your finals. Hugs to you.
Have been measuring sitting/ standing blood pressure in am and pm per nephrologist's orders while off the blood pressure pill. Pressures ultra low in the am(Friday 56/38) and normal in the afternoon. Think will end up on 2.5mg lisinipril and need to investigate autonomic nerve damage or heart disease to explain morning lows.2 -
