Did well yesterday, got the food scales out again. Even managed to cut the grass and do some weeding, although I was very slow and stiff.

@littleblackskirt - I have been stretching my calves, probably not often enough though.
It seems everyday I find a new pain. I’m like you, I know if I could get in shape that it would help a lot. It’s so hard to get in shape when you’re in pain though. It’s a vicious cycle.
@pridesabtch - hugs to you.
@mytime6630 - that sounds like a cold that turned into pneumonia. I hope you’re healing well.
@cschmitz110515 - have a nice visit with your parents.

Yesterday was better than Tuesday. Today is better than yesterday. I'm starting to adjust to the new normal that isn't very normal. Didn't even cry when I did Tim's infusion yesterday. It does however take almost twice as long as the directions claim.
Not much on the agenda today other than meetings and more meetings. Then I'll go to mom's to sort her bills. I offered to take her shopping this evening, but she didn't bother to reply to my message so I made other plans. I sent the message Monday. There is no way she didn't see it. The bitter part of me wants to tell her that she obviously doesn't need a phone if she doesn't know how to use it, but I'm not that person. Well, internally I have thoughts, but I work really hard not to act on them.

Good morning! I’ve been trying to get caught up reading past posts but then iit ends up too late to post my own goals, so I’m jumping on with a few goals for today, and I’ll catch up as I can. I can only read for a short period of time before I get a migraine-type aura since finishing chemo so it’s really cutting into screen time. I hope everyone is doing well!
Just For Thursday, 4/18:
1. Make a food plan for today. 😊 Done
2. 64 oz water before 6 pm
3. Dr appointment
4. Close 2 activity rings on watch
5. Log every bite. Close Food Diary at end of day.
6. Walmart Rx pick-up
7. Evening routine.
2024: Today, I choose peace over worry. I’m grateful for this beautiful brand new day! ☀️🌷🪻🪺🪴2 -

We ended up going to a local brewery for dinner so I had one beer. Not the plan, but way better than my typical 3 beers. Since Tim can't drink, we don't stay as long and I don't mind.
Mom was her typical selfish self. I don't know why I let her get to me, but I do. Oh well, I only have to deal with her on Thursdays. I try to communicate during the week, but she won't answer my texts.
Grocery was ok, we had a small cart and still had a $200+ bill at the end. I'm not even sure what we bought. No meat, no cleaners, just staples and some snack type things. Prices are crazy.
Nothing planned for today unless I go to by mulch so that I can work outside tomorrow. I'm really not a fan of landscaping, but the front of the house looks awful. So Saturday after spin class and before going to the theater, digging it is.

We've been trying to dig out a flower bed for our garden. Weve got the shape of it done and dug out lots of soil only to find there was lots of rubble and bricks under it. Alot of it was still stuck together.
So my dad came round as he has certain tools to help us break it up and pull it all out.
We then discovered something metal in the soil. Started trying to dig that out until we realised that there's a huge oil tank under the garden. So we just kinda.. put the soil back on top LOL
So yeah..
Not a fan of the gardening either but it's starting to take shape now! Plants go in this Sunday we hope!2 -

Went to the doctor yesterday. I’ve had pain in my right leg making it difficult to walk for the past few months. Doctor thinks it’s suspicious for SI joint or sacroiliac issue so I’ll be going to PT. I’m frustrated because I need to start walking and build my strength back up but my leg isn’t letting me. One day at a time….I just need to have patience I guess. 😉😊

I'm gonna start logging again I think.
Feel like I did much better when I was logging and also had more guilt when I was logging. Which sounds bad but guilt keeps me on track 😂
I'm literally eating what I want with no Fs given!
So I'm gonna try log today and see how I get on!3 -

Yesterday was ok. Today I’d busy, but not bad. I’ve already taught spin class and am back home. Tim is still sleeping, and I wanted to talk to him before I started the landscaping work. I’ll give him another 15 minutes then I’ll get started.
Looking forward to seeing Cabaret this evening. Chance to get dressed up a bit and feel pretty out at least not frumpy.

@Bex953172 I totally get that guilt in logging food works for you. Same for me. When I skip logging, it's as if I think food no longer has calories, and I can eat whatever I want. Oops 😬
JFT 4/20 ~ breezy, chilly with temps below normal, overcast, and I just don't want to walk dog in this weather
1) Salmon & veg for supper / log all food / 64+ oz. water
2) PT exercises
3) Last winter market of season / boil eggs / prep eggroll order & offering for Sunday church / read / other?
Had a good visit at my parents' but didn't see any of my brothers. Although oldest brother was back in town from work road trip, he was very grateful I took Mom to her eye appt. so he didn't have to. I had no idea her testing would take so long, she was in there over 90 minutes. Very glad I took a book to read. And she was so happy I drove her.

2024 Goals:1) Ultimate goal weight 150#... I'll be thrilled if I can get back down to 160# this year- Post weekly weigh-in on MFP for accountability. Saturday a.m. is my "official" weigh-in day, and I track daily on a separate app (for the visual). My digital scale only shows half pound increments & I'm too cheap to buy a fancier scale.
- Take measurements & log on MFP every month end
- Try new recipes Unfortunately, no wall oven until mid-Feb or later & sad me, but try slow cooker & stove recipes... wall oven installed 2/26 but no new recipes yet.
