    I had an awesome doctorโ€™s appointment with the Endocrinologist. My A1C is 6.9โ€ฆIโ€™m finally under 7. My cholesterol is finally good and she said I loss 9lbs from my last visit in December. Whatever youโ€™re doing keep it upโ€, she said. ๐Ÿคฉ

    Left there and went to PF for a full body strength training session - 60 minutes and 30 minutes on the treadmill.

    Yoga was tough last night. These legs are heavy!! I carry my weight in my legs after losing all of this weight. A lot of skin really....

    Karen,

    Some of our old workouts here had leg lifts; but when I tried to do them; my legs stayed on the floor and my head went up in the air. The top half isn't heavy enough to counterbalance the legs. It was hilarious.

    Good job, Kathy!
    Had a rough walk this afternoon. Didn't feel good. Couldn't make it to the tip top of the water tank trail. Had to turn around and come home. Not quite "The Dizzies" but weird. Had something to eat and drink, and I'm fine now. Eating popcorn. Made a doc's appt but it's not until the 29th. I probably won't remember anything from today, but that's what Pat is for! :D
    I managed 5.87 miles in 124 mins.

    Muahaha, you make me laugh Paula. I can see it happening. Mine are not even really heavy and they sometimes have the same effect.

    Kathy so happy for you. And I love how you celebrated with a trip to PF. You go!

    I am getting spring fever. Buying plants online. A new clematis. And others. Can't wait. My FitBit said I exercised 2 days this week. It did not count my weight lifting session. Interesting.

    I surprised Ron this morning with breakfast and a short visit before his dental appointment. Then came home and completed 60 minutes on the recumbent.

    Shelley, I love corn beef and cabbage too. Bought some to cook but got lazy so Iโ€™m cooking it for Sunday dinner. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Shelley, I need new flowers too!! My online purchases haven't been so successful...sigh...maybe I'll try again.
    Got 6.14 miles done in 107 mins this afternoon. It's beautiful here.

    Shelley - interesting question about where we carry outlr weight. For me....after 140ish pounds lost, my legs are for sure rough. And my lower stomach as well (although...it is better overthe years with exercise and fasting). I could use skin removal surgery on both to be honest. My lower body doesn't know what it wants to be. Tiny waist, medium hips/stomach, and medium legs (mostly skin though...so I can squeeze into things.) Finding pants that fit.....ouy vey impossible. Super thin face and small upper body...and mostly flat stomach (blessed there.) I guess you can say I'm pear shaped. I can't wear a normal bathing suit though...thank God for the invention of swim shorts! And dresses are my friend....they hide legs well.

    My friend Kim and I have chatted about this...she's top heavy with tiny legs....a different challenge!

    The way I look at it...I'm so blessed and proud to be where I am in my body. I don't know if I'll lose these last 5-10 pounds, and I don't really care TBH. I try and won't stop trying, but I've come so far, am healthy according to my doctor, and can buy clothes in any store. Now.toning and muscle development...Im all in! So all good ๐Ÿ‘

    Happy Friday! It is going to ve 75 degrees today...woo hoo! I must get out and enjoy it.

    My good friend Colleen is in town and we are going to do an hour and a 1/2 yoga workshop tonight. That should be nice :) I'm pretty tired, but it's probably just what I need after the week I've had.

    Did my share of stress eating yesterday :) hope to not do that again today!

    Happy Friday ladies!

    Got some good movement today. Had a 30 min walk in the afternoon, decided to walk the mile to yoga and then took an hour yoga class. I may need to rest today lol!

    Friday I had a good workout at PF. Lower body/abs - 30 minutes, Elliptical - 15 minutes and Treadmill - 40 minutes.

    Going to take off today and Sunday and start my spring cleaning. I will get in my time on the recumbent so I can keep my Lent streak going. Have a great weekend ladies!

    Got in 20 minutes on recumbent and finished my bath vanity drawers and cabinets on Saturday. Working on closet today and will get in time on recumbent. I think Iโ€™m going to replace my bedding and curtains. Going to start looking.

    Good job, Kathy!!
    We had Ronan today for the first time in almost two weeks!! I didn't walk...didn't want to leave in case Pat needed to take him home before I was back. Didn't want to miss hugging Sara!!

    Sunday 60 minutes on Recumbent and continued to work on the closet. Purging a lot. Itโ€™s turned I to quite a project. I think this will take all week. I donโ€™t mind because keeping busy keeps my mind off of food! ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Good thinking, Kathy!
    I did 60 mins w/my trainer this afternoon. The kids and Ronan and one of Sara's BFs came over after Ronan had a blood draw. He is such a brave kid!! Love him to the moon and back!

    Gals you are doing great. My mom came in Saturday and I have been busy catching up. My son Robert met us at the airport. What a nice surprise. Then Sahara visited for hours on Sunday with us. Work got in the way today.

    It has been great. Not snacking to much. Drinking tea. I will have to post a photo of a picture Rocky had framed of mom and I.

    Enjoyed catching up.

    Night my friends.

    Ate way too much comfort food in the past 2 days and the scale has my #.

    The stress of Bella and her mental health issues I think. We had an intake yesterday and a specialized 6 hour day program, which it sounds like she will start on Wednesday. Just need her to start getting well.

    Must walk to the post office today...I didn't walk Friday or Sunday. Ronan had a blood draw yesterday and they came over after... with cookies!! We sat and ate cookies and drank milk!! It was a blast! I have been off the charts with my eating too. I am on a popcorn binge and I'm pretty much loving it!!! :#
    I did workout w/my trainer yesterday for 60 mins. It was a good workout.

    Karen my daughter struggles with mental issues with her daughter Kaeldra also. I am wishing the best for both girls. It can be so trying sometimes. And both of your girls have been having issues for years. Not just normal issues. Hugs and hoping for the best.

    Chris I have been bad lately also. But glad you enjoyed family time and got in some walking.

    Kathy we are in the homestretch for this month. Lets really try hard to drop a few pounds or gain some muscle.

    Going to work out tonight with weights.
