Went out on a walk yesterday looking for blackberries to make jam. Disappointed to find our usual blackberry route has been severely cut back and is now overgrown with very tall nettles. Walk 10: Blackberries: 0

August for the win!

@Enber74 the body fat percentage on my scale has always seemed so inaccurate that I ignored it - now I know why! Thanks for the explanation. I once did a Dexa scan (or the Canadian equivalent) and although I had a lot of fat, I also had a LOT of muscle for my gender and height, and the guy doing the test was impressed. This was a big confidence boost and helped me understand where to focus my efforts. Also have you looked into body fat calipers? Apparently they’re pretty accurate.

@HappyDonkey75 sending you all the positive vibes during this really tough time.

@canadamarie - Your getting very conistent progress! that is awesome and motivating !
@ManifestingToday - thank you for the kind words and keeping me in your thoughts. We are not out of the woods yet but we did get some positive news yesterday. We hope he gets released today and can follow up outpatient.
@Enber74 - thank you for the mention, and I hope your dad is doing ok from his surgery.
@SofaKween - yes its been the hardest on my sister who is right there. I am so grateful she is a nurse and is able to do so much.

Anyone I missed here that kept me in your thoughts, Thank you. It means alot to come out here and get words of encouragement. I seriously love this group!

I have root canal this afternoon, can't say i'm looking forward to it. May as well make it a day when I tackle some of the tasks I have been putting off, then at least I’ll feel like I’ve achieved something positive.

As for goals for September - probably much the same as August except I may need to embrace the plateau but work on increasing strength and fitness.

August goals- 187 lbs- focusing on strength training , continued fitness level improvement.

I am not sure I believe the scale today..Nutrition from yesterday was a bit of a train wreck.. I don't know what happened. i wanted comfort food for lunch( it was cold and rainy) which translated to a grilled cheese and left over roasted broccoli . I thought I would get plenty of protein for an afternoon protein shake but that never happened and then I thought I would get ALOT more protein in beef barley soup I made but it was alot lower than I thought, only aboug 12 gm . At the end of the day I only ended up with 70 g of protein and I target 113 g..so way off.
think I need to do more protein shakes (but I was getting so sick of them I stopped) in between meals because I don't do well otherwise. if I eat enough food to get enough protein I am too stuffed to eat a decent dinner.
Generally if I don't hit my protein and carb macros I don't drop consistently so tomorrow and the next day will give me a better picture if I acutally did hit my goal..

I go for my third and final knee injection today. I have noticed the second one did help bring quite a bit of swelling down and I want to say it seems to be tolerating more and more squats and lunges with less angriness after so I am hopeful this is the answer!

TWO MORE DAYS YA'll ! Hang in there everyone and keep working hard...
