    Happy July! I'm sticking with my steps goal of 10k. I'm in another group on another app and am doing a low carb high fiber challenge there, so I'm hoping to lose some weight. Bonus to help our team come in first again!
    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I hope you are able to find a doctor you're comfortable with. In this day and age you'd think any doctor, male or female would be more professional.
    It's a beautiful day here, I've already been out in the garden a gotten a good workout in after. Now it's laundry.
    Have a great day!

    What is your biggest goal in life right now?

    Mine is to get this darn foot of mine healed so that I can start Physical therapy and get back to walking my dogs (boy do I miss walking )

    My biggest goal right now is to fix my shoulder! I have been going to PT twice a week for 6 weeks with some improvement. My primary diagnosed shoulder impingement syndrome. I see an orthopedic surgeon on Wednesday to hopefully get some imaging to see if that is really what's going on. I can't lift my left arm very high and have no ability to reach behind me (think putting on a bra). I can't wait to have full range of motion so I can get back to lifting weights at the gym and everything else you need 2 arms for!

    July goals

    Walk walk walk! At least 10,000 steps a week.

    Need to continue my deep work on my mind. With my abrupt move at the beginning of the year, I've definitely been in a consistent state of stress and survival. While I've taken care of the physical health wise, my mental gotta be sorted once more.

    And of course, hydration 🥰

    I am also in the process of getting my mental health to “normal “. I know for me personally mental health very much affects my weight loss. I hope you get it all sorted out.

    I am off to find a new Dr I would like to find a female Dr...I have a male Dr that makes unwanted comments like oh your blood pressure is up ..are you happy to see me ...ewwwwww no and I have to do labs this morning

    I am glad you got a new doctor. The other one is a creep and should be reported.

    I am going to have a lazy Canada Day. I am tired and having pain from all the activity the last few days. I am listening to my body.


    Happy Canada Day to my Canadian teammates!

    Would you rather be famous or rich?


    Rich, hands down. I woudn't want to be famous. Too much attention - I'm an introvert and wouldn't want anyone invading my space!

    Sorry for the confusion. I just got my Garmin repaired, so I will officially start recording steps as of Sunday, 6/30. I suppose I could have kept track of exercise time to convert to steps, but oh, well, lol :smile:

    Had doctor appointment yesterday - no walking for two weeks. Knee isn't healing like it should. Probably over did it in Hawaii. Looks like seated cardio - or get my butt to the lake for a swim instead of walking. But I just love my morning walks with Monty. Still feeling crummy - sore throat, stuffy ears. Also feeling sorry for myself - had little binge yesterday and was over my calorie limit - not by a lot - but over.

    Would You Rather?

    Shop at a grocery store or shop at a Farmer's Market
