Up 1/3rd of a pound - not what I was looking for but we went out to dinner for my free birthday burger (my birthday's actually not until the 31st but it's good for the month of October). Anyway I did skip the French fries … but succumbed to the onion rings. Oh well, it's been a long time since I've had them so I'm not going to feel guilty. Time to move forward and face the fresh start of a new day and week!
Although I don't usually look forward to Mondays during the weekend, I usually feel energized to start the week when Monday morning actually arrives - but even more so today as I got a record 8 and a half hours of sleep last night which blows away my average 4 - 5 hours. Hmmm - maybe I will need to try this onion ring thing out again.

First I want to know who stole the heat? Woke to the temperature being 33 degrees. I live in the desert it's not supposed to be 33 degrees yet. Second thank you everyone for pushing me to get off my lazy butt and get stuff done. You guys are amazing.6 -
Good evening everyone. Hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
Check in for 10/10:
Steps 4248. Kept my hand in my pocket a lot.
Calories - 1675. Made a stir fry for dinner.
Exercise - walk on the beach with wife. Wanted to do a long one but I got light headed right away, I think from giving blood, so I kept it short. I had my compression socks on or I would have walked barefoot.
How has the dizziness been over all? Stir fry sounds delicious!10/9 17,319
10/10 8,760
Saturday had a quiet day and got in a 5 mile walk and yesterday did insanity max workout and grocery shopping. I hate having to grocery shop on the weekends again so crowded. I purposely went when the Patriots were playing and it was dead. Now I just send to plan my grocery shopping around the football schedule. Lol. Today I am going to try to walk a trail after work with the kids, they are off from school but I am working.
That’s a great strategy to avoid the crowds.Nice exercise on the weekend!2 -

It was nice having my family in yesterday. Unfortunately, all the time cooking and cleaning meant lots of time standing which made for lots of pain. I am still not doing the best day. Depending on how I am feel when the grandkids go home later I may go for a swim or just go for a nap.
Happy Monday!

hi everyone! Friday was my bday--I struggle a ton w/sadness due to the estrangement, and for the past few years of this it's like I'm sad from 10/8 til after the new year. I'm SO tired of being sad but feel weird if I am happy! I know I need to talk to someone. Again. hahahaaa...wheeeeeee.... anyway, I did stop doing the healthy things, I didn't go off the rails quite as hugely as I have before though. I do think some of these things I've been doing as a result of being on mfp & here are starting to change the way I think. It's interesting!

As for this Bingo card, I have Line 1 Across the Top. Breathing for 5 min., Dancing More than 5 minutes (until my lower back and hip starts really hurting.), Eating 5 Vege's, etc. Sorry, I can't remember them all without looking back at it and losing my reply here. lol. 😁

Our first line! 🎉 I have a line under the o’s. I ate like a million veggies yesterday. The squats, stretching and calf raises I got in the pool today. I post in the chat everyday. We must have stole your hot weather. I have the air on today.4 -
Don’t forget to play bingo! Myself and @tinaBawesome have a line so far. Does anyone else? Remember you have the week to get those lines done or even a full card.

Love the Bingo game. It is going well. I printed out a copy and am checking off the squares. The only problem... I'm upstairs on the computer. I'll report back later with an update😊.
