    Too late to edit:
    I got my run in. 0.02 mi further than Wednesday despite the lack of sleep, warmer temps, and wicked humidity. Proud of myself. StepDaughter bailed on me for more sleep. Hope she realizes that they have more things to do today than there is time in the day and the "run later" may turn in to no run at all today.

    Also, BigBro officially passed all his finals so he is, indeed, walking the stage tonight. Way to leave it to the last minute to make us all panic and freak out. But it's done. He's a graduate!

    I finally logged on my work computer... to my relief, I got a huuuuge thank you and my project manager made a couple final edits (formatting I had missed) before sending it off to the client without kickback. Today should be much easier despite being 1/2 day behind. They pushed my other project out to the next Monday (not this coming one, but the 5th I think?) so I have 3 days next week to also work on it. With everyone out of the house running errands today, too, I should be distraction-free and hopefully able to get extra done so next week isn't as hectic. I don't think I could've handled any more major stressors like that today.

    @deepwoodslady you might want to check your friend's medicine. I know many older people take medicines (such as Statins) that cause weakness in their muscles, and they are unable to have the strength to walk-I speak from experience. If there is a swimming pool nearby, you might get her to try light swimming which also helps muscles but is less harsh on older people. Good luck!

    @deepwoodslady you might want to check your friend's medicine. I know many older people take medicines (such as Statins) that cause weakness in their muscles, and they are unable to have the strength to walk-I speak from experience. If there is a swimming pool nearby, you might get her to try light swimming which also helps muscles but is less harsh on older people. Good luck!

    @Machias1949 Thanks so much for the medicine heads up. I will have her talk to her doctor about that. She is on a few cholesterol and high blood pressure meds.

    Unfortunately, there is no pool or gym nearby as we live in a VERY rural area. I am also going to have her talk to her doctor about an exercise bike. We do not have any walking paths or parks in our area. It's walking up the side of the road (where the Amish horses and buggys also are) or going to a nearby trail as we have forests. The paths on the trails are not too bad but the limestone was too much for her I guess. Unfortunately, no benches on the paths. Our county really needs to think about these things. It is a primarily retirement area. Thanks for the imput. Everything is helpful.

    First time trying this so I hope I do it right! My name is Bekkah, just getting started with MFP after not using it for a few years. My scale only does whole numbers so I won't have as detailed numbers.

    Long-term Goal weight: 150lbs

    SW RND 224 - 195


    5/22 - 195, did PT in morning, 1 hour of Taekwondo in evening. Ate under calorie goal
    5/23 - 194, only some light exercise, need to boost that more. Slightly over calorie goals, but remembered vitamins! Hit 130/100oz on my water goal too! Overall, I'd give the day a 7/10
    5/24 - 193/4 (scale was difficult to read this morning, prob. closer to 194 since I drank a LOT of water) Doing TKD again tonight and hope to go on an evening walk. If I hit water goal, giving the day an 8/10
    5/25 - 193, PT in the morning, 1 hour of TKD in the evening. Calories are going to be over today because I ate a very good but very high calorie chili for lunch :sweat_smile: is what it is. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a little push back on the scale tomorrow as a result. It’s pretty hot today so drinking extra water!!
    5/26 - 193, Didn’t have the energy for a morning walk like I was hoping. That routine will have to begin over the weekend. WFH today so will be mindful of taking breaks to stretch/move. Lengthy walk planned for after dinner!

    @deepwoodslady
    Doctors do not like to take people off Statins once on, especially if it is also used for high blood pressure. However, many people like myself were on 5 mg of Statins only to later find out that 5mg every other day had the same results, lowering the side effects.
    If your friend is on Statins, make sure she takes a Q10 pill every time she takes the statin, as that helps stop some of the muscle damage in the legs. Interestingly, in Canada, all statin medicine are also required to have the ingredients of Q10 within the pill-they tried to do that here in the US, and Pharm blocked it.
    I hope your friend can get some help, as I know firsthand how difficult that is. I still have to use my handicapped decal when the pain is too much. I know the disapproving look of people who must think I am gaming the system-I wish I had known 20 years ago what I know now.

    Round 224

    45/F/Indiana
    Always welcoming new friends
    HW: 250
    GW: 150
    CW: 170.4
    Goals:
    Cardio x 5 days a week
    Strength x 3 days a week
    H2O 100 oz a day

    5.22.2023 - 🟰170.4 Had a good weekend with my grandson, but not enough time. Gym tonight and Monday is always the roughest. Thinking I should at least do some cardio or light strength workouts on the weekends to make Monday easier. Let’s rock out these next 10 days and end this month strong! Cheering everyone on!
    5.23.2023 - ⬇️ 169.4 Had the day off due to equipment failure. Good for me 😊 got the front porch and back patio cleaned off and some flowers potted, laundry done, dishes and dinner. Now heading to the gym! I hit my goal of 10k plus steps for Monday.

    5.24.2023 - ⬆️ 169.8 Hit over 13k steps yesterday 🎉 Good night at the gym. My youngest is graduating 8th grade today and my Momma heart is struggling. ♥️

    5.25.2023 - ⬆️ 170.2 as expected, actually I expected worse. Already got a walk in this morning now that it’s officially summer break - well for a week anyways. Football practice starts next week bright and early at 6am! I wish they would’ve given the boys more of a summer break before practice but it’s part of it. Can’t wait to see how he progresses his freshman year!

    5.26.2023 - ⬆️ 171.8 OPE! 😳

    Doctors do not like to take people off Statins once on, especially if it is also used for high blood pressure. However, many people like myself were on 5 mg of Statins only to later find out that 5mg every other day had the same results, lowering the side effects.
    If your friend is on Statins, make sure she takes a Q10 pill every time she takes the statin, as that helps stop some of the muscle damage in the legs. Interestingly, in Canada, all statin medicine are also required to have the ingredients of Q10 within the pill-they tried to do that here in the US, and Pharm blocked it.
    I hope your friend can get some help, as I know firsthand how difficult that is. I still have to use my handicapped decal when the pain is too much. I know the disapproving look of people who must think I am gaming the system-I wish I had known 20 years ago what I know now.

    @Machias1949 @deepwoodslady I am following this discussion and am finding fascinating. I've only recently started reading about statins, as I had assumed they were going to be pushed my way (I was wrong). Meanwhile, my mother, who is physically and mentally declining rapidly now, has a "total cholesterol" of 125 and has been on stains "since the 1990's".
