Ugh, the older you get the harder it is. I know I splurged a little over my Birthday weekend but with all the exercise I have done and the water I drank I thought I would have at least stayed the same. Oh well, just have to work a little harder I guess.
Happy belated birthday ..... bit more salt, few more carbs and a small gain is almost inevitable! Hopefully it will disappear as fast as it appeared!!!
Happy Belated Birthday ... I hope you had a wonderful Birthday

My newsfeed is becoming quieter and quieter 😢
I'll come back daily and check into the group and that will be about it once my newsfeed is totally gone.

I see (in my now almost dead newsfeed) people having trouble getting in to the community pages.. I hope it doesn't go down!0

OH and my son Andrew is graduating High School tonight! It's been an emotional week to say the least. His elementary school had a senior clap out yesterday, where the seniors got to wear their cap and gown and walk through the halls with all the kids, teachers and staff clapping for them. It was so nice to be able to go. All the teachers remembered us and loved talking with the kids they educated for the 6 years they were there.

My granddaughter graduated high school last year. It is such a proud moment. I can’t view your image for some reason. Congratulations to your son!1 -

Baby steps are so important when recovering from an injury. Do you like the pool? You may find water exercises don’t cause as much pain. I really got to get back to the pool.0 -
Good morning! I went for a short walk yesterday. It’s time to get my butt back to exercising. I am off to Friday coffee group and depending on the weather I may go for another walk. I have to remember exercise is a great anti depressants.

I am mostly a morning person. When I am having difficulty with my sleep I do seem to get up later. I like getting up earlier as I get much more done.2 -

Motto:
🏋🏾♀️ Don't think, just do it!!
Eat well 🥗to Live Well 🚢✈️🧳
H2O - Make it Flow 💦💦💦
Daily Goals for June1. Calories (plan for 1250) with Wiggle room to 1650 and protein 150g.
2. Limit Wine to the weekend, if at all.
3. Water - Minimum of 80 ounces
4. Exercise 5 days a week (core/strength train/cardio)
5. Consistently hit 10k steps - Goal 20+ days.
6. Daily reads or audible.
Recap: June! Welcome! This is an exciting month for me as my house closes on the 25th, and we will be moving on the 28th. It's a little sad as I've gotten very used to the on-site gym at my apartment, so I'll have to start thinking about how I will continue exercising with the equipment that I have.
My focus this month is on nutrition and macros.
Planning at the lower end of the calorie range but leaving room for "other" stuff.
- THOUGHTS:
Set a goal that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning! Please share
Step Challenge - Goal 8500
ST = Moderate
6/2 5,473
6/3 9,777
6/4 12,113

@FindingSamMon
I hate it when that happens!! I actually have an alarm to check my steps about an hour before bedtime. Sometimes I ignore that alarmStep Goal: 4,000
6/2 - 3,999 (seriously, Samantha?!?!?)
@Megan_smartiepants1970 ~ Sorry for the loss of your dad in such a tragic way.
@Aactuallyaash ~ {{{{{hugs}}}}}
@iLive2Walk ~ Good for you for taking a complete rest day. I've upped mine to 2 days per week as I realized my body was not recovering as quickly. I just felt achy and not true muscle soreness from working out. It seems to have done the trick! Just listen to your body, it will tell you!
When I first got my cortisone shot, I remember it feeling different, not necessarily better. But after about 10 days it felt better. Congrats on good results from your yearly check up!
@needlecraft ~ nice loss!
@JamieS74 ~ Happy Belated Birthday!
@Zaramarie61 ~ Welcome to the group. There are a few introverts around here so we definitely understand
@Nachdeezy ~ I still see a loss...keeping going!!
What has been your hardest goodbye in life so far?
(1)My Dad was sick and had been for a while and refused to get real medical care. He died at age 58.
(2)I returned to IL for the support of my family (Mom) in 1997. She was "well" but one day felt a little off, went to the doctor and was diagnosed with lung cancer. She went through chemo and was told she was "cancer-free". She passed in Nov 1998. I was devastated. (3) My dog. There was no preparation or forewarning. July he started uncontrollable peeing and was diagnosed with diabetes with Keto acidosis. I've had many dogs in my lifetime, but this one hit hard
Early Bird but the first few hours I like to just be with myself and my thoughts. No conversation!
