Found out last night my youngest granddaughter is in hospital. They are not sure what’s wrong but she is where she needs to be. Of course worry mode set in and I ate my weight in food to calm myself. I am off to the pool for a quick swim as I have an appointment with my dietitian this morning. I am still having issues with getting the heart rate while e exercising so yesterday I moved it to my right wrist and it seemed to work fine. I am going to contact Apple later today.

Happy Wednesday!

weigh in day wednesday

Good evening everyone. One more hump day in the books. Enjoy your friday eve.

Check in for 11/17:
Steps - 5206. Went walking around a mall with the wife. Shopped at see's candy and bought some. Moderation. One win was that I didn't get any peanut brittle.
Calories - 1639. Had a half piece of baklava for dessert
Exercise - daughter said I couldn't go on a hike alone. I will either hit the gym or streets before my video meeting tomorrow

Update from last night...

Evening Guys... 😎

A little better day today... Less painful then yesterday. Our New Clothes dryer was delivered as well and installed. (But they did a bad job of it, but at least we can wash and dry clothes).

Workouts are going a long way to making me feel alive and moving forward in a good direction. I'm still blowing up to be honest. Apparently, the extra work I've been putting in on "Off-days" is paying dividends. I literally managed all 10 reps in my first and second set of DB presses today (with a smidge of help on the 10th.) So yeep, already moving to 95 dumbbells next week. Heck this weekend I might just go for 100lb on the weekend to see what I can do. Everything is getting stronger as well, shoulders, triceps. I'm already sore, so a real good sign. 🙂

As for my diet and choices... All have been tightly buckled down and I feel good about myself again. No idea what the weigh in will say, but as long as I keep making good choices like I have the last couple days, I don't really care so much.

I'm hoping for another good day tomorrow. Also for fun I put together a 125 pound dumbbell , and it's sitting by the bench downstairs waiting for me to come home tomorrow. I'm bound and determined to try and do 5 sets of 6 reps HEAVT Bent over Dumbbell rows with each hand. It's good to go extra heavy sometimes. Assuming my arm doesn't rip off at the elbow. 😈😄 😬😆

And phewy I forgot to stop my watch for the last 50 minutes. So I'll spare you all the Electro Cardio gram. lol

Didn't burn as much today.. 800-900 give or take. But I'll take it.

Hoping for another good day tomorrow. Peace guys.

Also upgraded my dumbbell station with a shelf for all those screws - nice and neat now.




I can make up to a set of 180 pound dumbbells and a set of 90's at the same time... or have almost 600 pounds to spread over 4 or 5 sets of dumbbells. I'm fairly confident I don't really need more at this point. Well maybe just 1 more 22.5 pound plate for the kettlebell so I don't have to swap to and from.

and here's what that 125 pound dumbbell looks like.

Sorry I'm a day late - I've been terribly busy with work and spent most of the weekend on my laptop - except for celebrating my dad's birthday Sunday night which showed up on my Monday morning weigh-in. Work should slow down to a 'normal' level this week and I'll make more of an effort to get off my butt!

Sorry I missed this. Hope things are slowing down for you.

I need to be excused from the rest of the month on both the steps and challenge. My back is day 3 of hurting and has not improved. Sorry guys.

I will marked you excused for the next 2 weeks. Let us know how your back is doing. Get lots of rest and hopefully things will start to improve.

Just waiting for my zoom appointment with the arthritis society. I am seeing a physiotherapist this morning. They are also going to be offering me pain management services. This is all free which is good as I used up all my benefits for 2021. I am off to the pool after but I may just do some light pool exercises as it has been 2 weeks since I had a rest day.

My eating this week has been terrible especially after coming off a fairly good weekend eating wise. I had a full out binge last night which scares me. I think a lot of factors have contributed to the eating but I got to get a grip.

Happy Thursday!

Thank you to all of those that replied with some motivation! I often forget to check the community tab

@Melaniebl2000 How are you going? Community doesn't notify unless you're already in community (which I think is annoying). I sent you a friend request; hopefully if you have some people in your feed it might also help with motivation.

I went to the surgeon today and I got my surgery date!!! December 15th is the date. Just have to get my pulmonologist to sign off that I am fit for surgery. I am sure that she will as she said I was fit to scuba dive. I am fit to have surgery.

Let me know when you get closer if you will need to be moved to support while you recover. Christmas surgerys suck. I had both my hysterectomy (2001) and my knee replacement (2016) a week before Christmas.
