I ended up getting a walk in last night after all. Thanks to posting here. It’s those built up muscles making the scale go up right. Hahah.

PT went great @ManifestingToday --- I now have the ok to do some pushups, biceps and Triceps.
We did push ups yesterday at PT. I had no issues overnight. Today I did some plank burpees and will do a few Bi/tri at noon. Of course using super light weights - as to ease into it so I don't stress out the Arm/shoulder. If all goes well, I can try another set of weights on Saturday or sunday.
The PT discussed mycase with a leading shoulder expert and his research concluded that having rotator cuff surgery for my case would not be any more beneficial than doing PT. And, that PT would actually be healthier as I would learn about how I can lift, how to do proper form, and ya know, how to make sure I am safe and not causing further injury. I am very encouraged.... even as I use 5# weights today.
THIS ALSO MEANS that I can use my arm to dangle a 15# weight and do some light Deadlifts and light SLDL's however, I have to work it into only using my arms once every 2 days - so that I know which weights were OKAY and which weights need to be less.
Yesterday was a fail
I decided to have my protein ice cream for 3:30pm snack.... and I normally don't eat at all at 3:30.... anyway, tail spin down the hole of "lets buy more junk food" .... picking up myself and going forward. I didn't binge per-se ...more like eating 2000 total calories which - tends to be a maint. number for me that I can handle as long as I am mindful 2-3 days now.
WHERE I WANT TO GO IS to eat 1500-1700 consistently so that I don't have to do this loop of "oops too much" and then days of "a lot less"
Nov 6: Workout: cardio - likely lower calories, i tend to swing that way.
Nov 5: ❌🥊 ❌ Workout : stretching day. Yoga Bryan Kest. 10mins Cardio, Millionaire Hoy.
Nov 4: 🚂🥊 〽️ Fast : 12hrs - Workout - Ham, glute, quad, calf, quad, glute, core.
Nov 3: 🚂🥊 〽️ Fast: 12hrs - Workout: Millionaire Hoy.
Oct 31: 🚂🥊 〽️November Goals: The first few days, I will start to do a 12:12 Intermittent fasting - which may go to a shorter window - I want to see if it helps me.
🚂Tracking my meals
🥊 Hitting Protein goal of 100+
〽️ Staying under 1700 calories
Ultimate goal: down 4#
Short term goal: To choose more a nutrient dense foods and less UPF's
and to DO IT because it brings me so much more JOY than I could ever imagine.
I absolutely do hate the guilt, shame and regret from making bad food choices. I want to use november to REMEMBER how less nutrient dense foods (Ultra Processed Foods, aka UPFs) makes me feel emotionally spent and physically spent.
In Oct. I was able to meet my Calorie goal and stay UNDER 66% of the time. I had 10 days where I was OVER. For November, I am setting the goal to be 71% of the time. (I'm just pulling a number out of the hat.)4 -
I almost didn’t weigh in due to a higher sodium than normal dinner.
Going on another walk this am even though it’s pretty windy out…..need to stay the course and drink extra water today.

Good to see so many of you -- this thread is hopping today.3 -
Hey friends, checking in.
Accountability.... I've been able to stick to including fruit or veggies with every meal since Monday. (Go me!) No walk Monday or Tuesday (Booooo....) but got it in today (Yay!)
Goal continues to be fruits and veggies + daily walk this week. Trying to build better habits sustainably, so I expect slow progress...
I'm not a daily weigh in because I tend to fixate when I do. So to be kind to myself, I'll only weigh in on Mondays.
Feeling inspired by y'all. Keep that good s*** up. 🌞4 -

I ate my feelings last night. lol some left overs of comfort food I made at the weekend. Ended up having two bowls of a salty pasta and some Halloween candy. Not surprised to see the scale go up.
The plague still has our house on lockdown. (That’s dramatics. After 2020 it’s hard to realize my sarcasm. Kids and hubby have a head cold that I had at the weekend. It’s a good one and all three are down for the count on their 4th day. That I kicked it in two has me secretly feeling pretty good about myself.) So I’ll scurry off to work and then come home and put the house back to rights and lift the spirits.
But I’ll also go for a walk today. And now I have to because I told you all I will. Hahah. I’ll come back and edit this if I do.
Hope you all have a great day!4 -

Struggled through my strength training workout last night for upper body . Motivation was not with me . All I wanted to do was sit on the couch and read my book in front of the woos stove.
But I got it done nonetheless. This morning I woke to a stiff neck and headache at the base of my skull that is migrating up. I wonder if I tensed up on some of the arm exercises since I moved up to 20 lb dumbbells on bicpes and shoulders.
Today, feeling like I want to eat things I should not .. its like the Devil is on my shoulder saying things to entice me to be bad ...Cupcakes , cookies, sugar on the brain .. super annoying.. and not sure why because I haven't had this happen for quite some time (thank you tirzepitide)
( *** for the record, I am not actually hearing voices so don't worry.. )

I think I was quite stressed for the past two days with everything going in our world but feeling more level set now. Not here to talk about that at all. But I needed (wanted) an outlet and ate a couple of salty snacks late night with a glass of wine while watching the new documentary on Martha Stewart. The bummer was I was perfectly satisfied with my super healthy dinner of unstuffed beef and cabbage roll stew over riced cauliflower. Thankfully, today is a new day!

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about NEAT which is the unintentional exercise you do just by living your daily life. I don’t do a lot of intentional exercise but I have a lot of NEAT, I just realized. My house is full of stairs so I’m up and down dozens of times a day. And I don’t own a car and I like to shop local so every errand is done on foot including the carrying. And because of my prior history with back pain I can’t tolerate standing still so I’ve developed the habit of moving around when I’m in a lineup or brushing my teeth or doing dishes. All of that stuff adds up. I read that NEAT contributes up to 15% of your daily calorie burn. So the more I can do that the better.

You know when you wake up and you just feel heavier? I just had a sense the scale might be up today. I was right..
Last three days of workouts, very body sore and the neck/headache thing is still with me. I am taking some ibuprofen along with a heating pad and getting some relief. I am supposed to meet a friend at the gym tonight to do a chest/shoulder workout but I might have to hold off. Bummer. Might be a walking/light cardio day today.
Veterans day Monday in the US.
Thank you to all our Veterans and their families for their service to our country.

Feeling some progress and success this morning. Sticking to fruit or veg with every meal, has required thought and purpose but hasn't been overwhelming. Which is nice because the overwhelm is real this week with sick kiddos and my hubs traveling.
Also... There's an I Love Kickboxing i walk past 3 times every week... And I have thought "That looks fun" and "I'm here anyway, I could possibly make it work..." And I finally walked in Wednesday night to get info. I've now signed up for a free trial class tomorrow. I hope I like it.5 -
@gretadevelle good for you signing up to try kickboxing! I hear it’s a great calorie burner and endorphin enhancer.
@HappyDonky75 you are doing great and are still down! I know what you mean about sore. I usually kick down my routine or skip a day for more recovery time between workout sessions.
It’s great to see so much progress for many of you, in only a week!2 -
I’m proud of myself for using my gym again after a long summer and early fall of not much. Especially when I am paying good money for it!
So I worked out more than usual this week - a Barre class on Tuesday, a Zumba class yesterday and now I am heading to a circuit training class at the gym now. They are all very different and I think I’d like to repeat the rotation again next week.
The one thing I did notice is my hunger cues were up last night lol. But that doesn’t mean I need to act on them! Had some gummy bears I found and Japanese rice crackers. Would be better off with a piece of wheat toast or other ‘food.’
This month I have upped my fruit and vegetable intake each day so that is good.
