Nurtribullet (I just tried the recipe for a "chocolate milkshake" using dates and cocoa powder🤤) & stove top as I don't own a microwave1 -

Thanks for asking! It's given me some clarity 🙂🙂
@Slimmersixties Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I have never met anyone else who diets by RV! 😁 It challenges me to think about creative ways I can make my own changes lasting, easier, and more enjoyable. I am interested to hear how you continue to work on these things!

I am dropping out of the step challenge. I tried lowering my number and I can’t even get those in. To be honest, I’m hanging on by a thread just staying in the group but I’m gonna keep swimming “as Dori says” a little while longer.
Is there anything in particular causing you grief right now? Someone on the team might have some suggestions.
I’m just struggling with the care of my mother in law. I like to get up and work out in the mornings but I have to wait until she is up and get her ready for the day before I can do that which can take a while. By that time I feel like it’s cutting in to my time that I need to do the daily chores of picking up, preparing meals, and never ending laundry as she taken to taking off her depends throughout the day and I find out too late. 🤦♀️. These may be excuses but I am dragging mentally and physically.
Wow, that is a lot. I can see how it would take a toll on you. Is there anyone who could c9me give you a break occasionally?1 -

Welcome back!2 -
Steps:
April 14th: 5,018
April 15th: 6,523
I went for a walk with my granddaughter yesterday so my steps are better than the day before. It’s even warmer today so I am hoping to get out after lunch. I am in the process of organizing my closet. I only did it 6 weeks ago. It’s a big walk-in so everything gets thrown in there. This time I swear it’s staying organized.
I use my coffee pot daily. It is a must have. I guess my fridge is used daily.
I would be an apple. They are red( my colour) and so delicious.

Hi everyone. 👋🏼 I am back after slipping way off the beaten path. A lot of weight was gained and now trying to get back on track.
I actually weighed in last Wednesday at 240.2, so I will keep Wednesday as my weigh day.
I see step count is still going strong. Remind me please, is this daily submission or weekly?
My reason for coming back: I came down with a ‘viral sinus infection’ 🤨 and went to the doctor. My blood pressure was the highest it had ever been. I have never been diagnosed with high blood pressure but the last several times I went to the doctor it was high. This time is was 147/94. The NP never looked at my chart and still proceeded with prescribing a steroid (which raises blood pressure). I was so desperate for relief from the sinus pain that I didn’t say anything either. Needless to say it scared me so much that I didn’t even drink coffee for two weeks, and I’m a daily coffee drinker. Today was my first coffee since and I thought my heart was going to pound out of my chest.
I told my husband I was going to cut back on the coffee and he said, yeah right. 🤭 I definitely will though bc it really scared me.2 -

@Slimmersixties Thanks for the thoughtful reply. I have never met anyone else who diets by RV! 😁 It challenges me to think about creative ways I can make my own changes lasting, easier, and more enjoyable. I am interested to hear how you continue to work on these things!
I've been giving alot of thought to the reply i gave you! Its really made me consider why it's so easy to lose weight in the rv and why I'm such a failure when i return home! I've identified one of the problems as stress!! I do nothing while I'm away just relax .... I've been home for 10 days and 6 of those days I've been running around doing things for other people ! I've got alot of older friends here who don't speak Spanish so they save up their issues until i come home! I'm coming up with a plan to address all the reasons i can't lose weight at home! I'm off in the rv again on Saturday for a month and when i return i will have a plan! Thanks again for your question is really got me thinking!2
