I'm not surprised because I'm in the nurture phase... but come Monday I'll be fasting.
This Sunday my daughter graduates from Law School...so proud of her. It has been a long process!!! She already had her first interview!!1 -

So no lifting for two weeks and I've got to go for an xray/ultrasound. He thinks it's just tendinitis which is better than the alternative. Not supposed to play baseball but I'll probably just pitch (it's underhand softball so I won't have to throw overhand). It puts no strain on my shoulder.
And I can still run which is the most important thing for me
I hope you get it straightened out quickly. Can he give you. Cortisone shot?What's up yall?
I seem to keep making this mistake a number of times throughout the week- I get up and start my day, then late morning/early afternoon I realize I didn't put on my fitbit. I might have to glue it to my head.
Today I was able to do a couple laps around the kitchen/dining/living room areas and caught up the missed steps. This was actually a bit if a NSV. As yall might remember, when I first joined you last month I could only get from one room to another and had chairs in each room so I could quickly sit down. Now I'm apparently able to hit a couple laps. I've also been able to visit a couple rooms before sitting down- leaving my office, filling up my water in the kitchen, and going back to the office is now a 3x/day thing for me. Crazy.
Hope yall are having a good week.
This is an awesome NSV!
Honestly , I really dislike lifting weights so I'm totally fine with just letting it heal. I won't mind the shorter trips to the gym. As long as I can play baseball I'm happy.0 -

But I did weigh myself this morning if you want to use that.

Every once in a while I forget to put my fitbit on (after walking on the treadmill). You'd think the dog died!!
Congrats on your progress! That's awesome!1 -

I chose to start the new month with exercise each morning. This week, I have used 10 minute seated exercise videos on Youtube. My thought is that something is definitely better than nothing, and that I can always do more.2 -

Back to my same weight from the prior week. I've eaten healthy most of the week but not so much last night … and I guess it's showing. The good news is that the weather is finally getting nice enough that I don't have any legitimate excuse to start more outdoors walking. 3 -
@JaysFan82 Happy Birthday!
@Slimmersixties Way to turn things around!
@aneedlecraft Well done on the weigh-in and on the decision to start the day with exercise. Keep at it and before you know it, that 10 minutes will turn into 20 and beyond!2 -

Congrats on the loss! That is a great idea. I need to be doing this.

I am not going to sweat .2 of a pound. I learned two things this week: lay off the protein bars and pickles. The protein bars were causing stomach issues😳. So the bloat from that along with the sodium from the pickles caused my weight to spike. I hit 192.4 pounds earlier in the week.
No exercise today. I have a lot of pressure in my back from the injection. So far the leg and back pain seem better but time will tell.
