@lindamtuck2018 My knees are great! I continue to do the exercises that the physical therapist prescribed and have not been having any problems - I'm so happy about that because I love running and am so excited to be doing it again.3

@Cheesy567 Woohoo for the gain of lean body!!! I do my next Dexa in Oct. Eating enough protein and minimizing cuts are a great thing! Congrats!
@Beautyofdreams In my situation at the moment I am in flee mode. Or avoidance. Writing things out yesterday helped me tremendously. It kept me out of the kitchen. Other times I think, "Eating like an A--hole because of S--t thoughts," Is how I snap myself out of whatever things are driving me to eat. Yes that is some of losing 100 with Corrine podcast teaching. Not having forbidden foods is also another way I have stopped the binge. I have to live with all these things around me so I have to turn the thoughts about the food around. Not creating drama about it is another. Just changing the thought process will change the outcome.3 -

Good morning all.
Check in for 4/12:
Steps - 15442
Calories - 2207. Ugh. Too high.
Exercise - started playing pickleball but pulled a hammy in my first game. Slowly walked home to keep it from getting worse. Walk was 1 hr 17 min at 2.5mph. Went on a 1 mile stroll after dinner since I was getting foody.
To many bad snacks. 3 pieces licorice, chips, peanuts. Daughter made hot chocolate after the walk but she made mine with milk. Extra 140 calories. Hammy feels fine today but I am taking the day off and probably tomorrow, unless I get restless being inside.
Dinner out tonight since we are driving daughter across town to vote on her union contract. I will be modifying my early calories a bit for more wriggle room.3 -
I am so proud of myself. I set a new lap and burn record for myself. I swam 84 laps and my total burn including my pool exercises was 718 calories. 🔥🔥🔥🔥6

Not very often you have high days like this so go easy on yourself. Sorry you hurt yourself. A couple of days rest is probably a good idea.0 -

Step Count 4/12: 6,431
Just not feeling it today. Like, seriously not. Do you ever go into a "funk"??? I'm wondering if it's "post vacation blues".
Yesterday's workout was some light cardio with weights. Nothing great.
Need to pull this bug out of my buttocks.1 -
Hey all. Back on track today. I've hit my highest weight ever now. It's time to finally do this once and for all. One day at a time!3

I believe there is post vacation blues. Every year after our trip to Newfoundland I get into a funk for about a week. Light cardio with weights is still a workout. Give yourself a few days to get back to normal life.

Steps 15,846
I have an appointment at the passport office this morning. It is cutting it close because I need it in less than 6 weeks. I am not sure if I will have time for the pool today or tomorrow. I will go for a short walk though. My arms are sore from my swim but they are a good sore.3 -
