Struggling to find time during the day to step away. The Minestrone soup I froze two weeks ago has been perfect to quickly reheat for lunch. Recipe was from Lexi’s clean kitchen.

@Megan_smartiepants1970 I loved your post, so motivating and a great reminder that every little thing we do can help. I suffer from chronic depression and sometimes I feel like I'm fighting a losing battle but I say to my partner "I got up, put pants on and went to work, that's pretty much all anyone can ask of me!" It's important to celebrate the efforts that we do make, even when it's so hard just to do the little things.

Okay Guys...
So my spurt of lower back pain, that took away my butt cheek and legs / ankle pains, reverted back to no lower back pain, and all the other pains coming right back. There was no island of tranquility either, it's all on a sliding scale it appears.
It's been a rough couple of days again... But life goes on and the weights must be moved. :P
I'm still really loving the the bright side of all of this.... I'm literally mowing down the weights on all lifts. I moved up to 85 pound dumbbell press and I actually got 10 reps the maximum rep range on my first set. (with a pinch of help mind you). So I gotta move up to 90 pound Dumbbells already? WHAT WHAT WHAT? Hell yeah, you heard me.
100 Pound dumbbells are literally right around the corner for reps... That is a fairly significant milestone, many of lifters never get too. So go me go! lol
Shoulders also felt really good, no more pains, no more discomforts when lifting anyway. 50 Pound Dumbbell over head press for 12 reps all sets.. No problem. 55 pound next week.
Fly's yeep...50 pounds for 12 reps no help.. Moving up 55 pounds. I'm at the point I can skip right over the 2.5 pound increments. I'm in 5 pound land. lol
Hell, I'm doing 45 pound plate raises for 15 reps with no cheat rests... So thank god I just purchased a set of 18" screw type adjustables so I can use them to go higher. :)
Life is good at least where moving the weights is concerned... And having the most wonderful fiancé in the world.
Peace folks!

Hi all!
Got my cast off this afternoon. My ankle is so weak that when I walk it doesn’t bend and walk on the outside of my foot. Will start out with short walks. They tell me that the plaster casts weigh around 4 pounds. Have been severely emotional binge eating for the last 3 weeks. Will weigh in tomorrow. Goal for the week is to log and eat at maintenance. Am so looking forward to showering, driving and moving around.

I've dropped some weight this week but got an event on sat so we'll see if that throws off my weigh in on Sunday.

You are getting stronger. Scales don’t show the entire picture.

Keep up the walking!

Like all your who’s.
Sorry your pain is back. Your progress in strength training is fantastic.
Two great days of daily check ins. I hate have an event the day after weigh in. I weigh tomorrow and I am going out tonight.

I can use the weight for your starting weight and next week will be an official weigh in for the challenge. No matter what the scales says today put it behind you and make a fresh start. So glad your cast is off.
