@shortyjmorgan1 thanks for that recipe. I am hoping to try it soon.
@jayenguk great loss.
@Megan_smartiepants1970 cracked heels are horrid. I had to soak mine 3 times a day and scrub the dead skin down to get the cracks out. Took about 2 weeks.
Good evening everyone.
Check in for 10/19:
Steps - 9462. Lots of strolling.
Calories - 1560 or so. Forgot from 3 minutes ago. Had hot air popcorn and a 3 week old sugar cookie for dessert. There was a time when that cookie wouldn't have lasted 3 days. Still have 4 more cookies to eat.
Exercise - spent 5 hours at sea World. Best I have done by far. Only saw 1 show but I logged my food wonderfully. Touched a sea urchin. Trippy.

Had a binge last night. I am incredibly frustrated with myself right now. This morning I am bloated, up a couple of pounds and just feel terrible. It might feel good in the moment when binge eating but it certainly doesn’t afterwards. Anyways, today is a new day.
My Fitbit is really acting up. I have to restart it several times a day. I am going to have to try reinstalling it this morning as I can’t get it to sync even after restarting. I think I will have to get an Apple Watch this weekend even though have I am not consistently weighing in the 190’s. I am off for what I am hoping will be another good swim after that. I have 3 appointments this afternoon. I will be walking to and from one. The second one I will take an Uber but walk to the 3rd one from there. It will be a test for my back.
Happy Hump Day!4 -
Hey team,
I’m so sorry for not posting for such a long time. I’ve not been in the best place these last couple of weeks. Recovery from my surgery has been so hard but I’m slowly getting there. My open wound is slowly but surely closing. I’m continuing to disinfect and change bandages daily which I have to do until it’s fully healed. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said I can start working again if I wanted to but I’m kinda scared as I have a hole in my side lol. The nurse said if it worries me to just start off slowly. These past few weeks have been hard on my mental health as well. I’ve continued my therapy sessions which have helped keep me steady in that area.
I also got some sad news from home. My grandma has been put in home hospice care so I have planned a last minute trip back home to see her. I’ll be traveling to Texas next week to see her and my sister and staying there for about 3 weeks. My husband and kids are staying here and will be visiting their grandparents during their 2 week school break. Last week we had to make a quick trip to Paris so we could renew all their passports just in case they have to travel back home as well. It all depends on my grandmas health and how long she stays with us. If she is still here come Christmas we may all try to go there to see her.
Sorry for the long post but I wanted let you all know I still here and what’s been going on.
@lindamtuck2018 - Can you temporarily remove me from the challenge until I come back. Sorry I didn’t weigh in last week I was not near a scale.

This probably isn't really what you meant but this was the view that greeted me when I left my house before 6 am to walk with dad. That bright light is the moon. I thought it looked cool.

Good morning all. Today makes three days in a row of getting up early and meeting dad to walk at the lake. Unfortunately a cold front is coming so we aren't planning on doing it again tomorrow. Elliptical or dance video will work though.
We've been having some yummy food creations this week, trying to use stuff from the freezer before buying anything else. Sirloin steak was used to make teriyaki beef, we had grilled chicken one night and then I used the leftovers yesterday to make healthy buffalo chicken dip. Tonight I'm making a beef yakisoba of sorts. We have a couple hams steaks to use still and a couple whole chickens to do something with.6 -

Sorry about your grandma. I am sure they will be glad to see you. I will move you to support and you know I will be bugging you to come back when you get back home. Hugs to you and your family!5 -

Love the picture! I love that you and your Dad walk together. I need to dig in my freezer and see what I need to use up.3 -
Question for those that switched from Fitbit to Apple or the other way around
What did you like about Apple over Fitbit? Anything you missed in particular about Fitbit? If you went back to Fitbit from Apple, why? I am so nervous about making the switch.2
