@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.

3rd day of our Mini Challenge
Its Workout Wednesday: Please post a workout pic

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!

I was right there with you. I woke up around 1:30 and was able to force myself to rest until 3 and finally said screw it and got up and went to the gym. This day 2 of waking up early

Got my Fitbit to work before swimming and now it won’t sync again. 😩

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.

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.

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.

I do not have any Apple Products but I do love my fitbit versa2 ...but now I want the Fitbit Versa3

Went for a nature walk at a park. Lizards, birds, grapes growing wild. Small but tasty.

Awesome job Roger

Nice workout! The burn is crazy! Has your resting heart rate increased since the pain started? Mine did and the doctor confirmed that pain does this. It is starting to come down again though. Not sure if it is the pool or for the most part I am learning to handle the pain better. It sucks that it is affecting your work. I can see your point with the pool. I just cross the parking lot and I am at the pool house. I hope you get some relief soon. Hugs!

Yes indeed... I've been noticing. Last 2 days my resting heart rate is all the way up to 70 before the injury I was hitting 63-65 on a regular basis. I assume one reason is the pain, and the other is I'm not getting my cardio in. DOH!!!

Evening Everyone,

Erg, I wish I was more joyous with my far and few between updates lately... But I'm still really struggling here. No real improvements today. I still haven't stuck it out at work for a full day. I came home 1 hour early once again, just to be able to lay down for an hour before out workout... And I was in much worse shape when I got home today then I was the day before. This morning I thought I would have a Shower instead of a bath, and try to stand as long as I could and stretch my back out. Hoping it would loosen up my glutes, and relieve some pain shooting down my calves and ankles. But it didn't work, it all got worse. Damn it! 😋

I was pretty comfortable at work for a good part of the morning, but getting up to fill my water ended up causing my left calf and ankle sing for over an hour.... So, at that point I got other people to get me water. All in all I'm quite frustrated with the whole thing.

I'm just glad it all settled down just in time for our workout tonight.

Chest, Triceps and shoulders.

Small gains tonight, but gains are gains. I won't go into details, but I did great. DB Bench press is still stagnating a bit, other than 1 rep, but Cable Tricep extensions and other movements are moving along nicely. Lynn and Jason are kicking *kitten* as well.

And that is that... I still gotta do dishes, and I then back to bed so my *kitten* doesn't hurt so damn much. 😬😆🤞

I went for a long walk today and I feel great. I'll be doing some dancing in a while. Take care and stay safe.
