I’m starting to feel my age too. I was walking down a flight of stairs with bags of groceries and I didn’t feel steady in my feet! What’s that!? It’s like I have to be careful. I felt a little shaky! I always thought I had strong legs but maybe I’m losing muscle. Maybe it’s really time to start strength training! I used to do it but stopped for some reason.

137.4. So ready for the weekend

YAY FRIDAY!

Its been a pretty quiet week at work which has been nice.

welcome back @Emkaygirl1 !

@MercyRoth - seriously let me talk to you about the frustration of a plateau..I feel that pain…3 months for me.. I don't know why suddenly I dropped essentially 4 lbs since Monday. Low energy is usually hormones or not enough calories for me. I have actually started doing NAD+ MIC shots which helps tremendously. You can get IV infusions but I just do the SubQ injections weekly. Helps me with my workout too. I am learning that as we age, we need some extra support. I am willing to do anything I can to keep the "old lady" away.

5/14-165.8 treadmill 30 minutes
5/15- 164.8- lower body strength day
5/16- 164.4

Liking this trend , hope it continues for a while.. Tomorrow might be interesting because my workout last night was HARD.. I am already sore and tomorrow will be worse for DOMS..so with that, I usually see an uptick.

Not trying to borrow trouble but I am still very skeptical at what is happening here..4 lbs… since Monday.. this just never happens to me..

173.5 today after a 5 mile walk in NYC yesterday (medical appt). Had a few hours to kill before my train home so I walked around and saw some of my favorites places.

No weigh ins for the next week as I'm starting treatment this afternoon. Will still check in daily as I love this group!

Have a great weekend all 😊

Highest weight 155 I believe. I got discouraged and while I didn’t give up. I haven’t really been sticking to it. 

So I’m back! Since there’s not much left of May I’ll be happy to see 147!

May 1 150.1

May 14 149.1

May 15 149

May 16 147.8

Thank you for the warm welcome back! I don’t know WHAT happened that made that number show up, I’m sure it won’t stick around. But I’m gonna take it as a sign that Im doing something right!

Let’s see how the rest of the month goes to set up my June Goals.

@emkay26 I am sorry about your sister. That sounds like a lovely way to spend the day with good memories of her. Hugs girl.

@Kupla71 - I haven't had one of those sandwiches in a long time, but now I am going to have to! I love those too.. its one of my moms favorites too.

@tishsmith101 - wishing you good luck with your treatments.

Looks like things are leveling off.. now the trick is to keep it !

My parent should be arriving today so I need to get to the apartment and get the bed made and ready for them. I'll probably make up something for them to eat and bring it up for them as well . I am glad they are here but it also comes with some stress as there are alot of expectations from them in regards to giving them help. In all reality my mom really needs someone to come and assist her with care but they are resistant mostly because they assume it should be their kids to help. The problem is the 2 other siblings don't help which leaves me and my sister , and my sister is iffy sometimes..

Going to get a good workout in this morning and get on with my day.

137.2

Yesterday was jam packed with things to get done but then I don't feel like I got much of anything accomplished- ever have those days?

Got my workout in and ended up doing intervals and strength training - I had really good energy so I figured why not .. by the end of my upper body workout though, I was dead.. shaky arms and slightly nauseated.. I refueled and got on with my day.

Had a busy active afternoon with yardwork and housework so the slight uptick given the amount of muscle soreness I have at the moment (it almost hurts to type..lol) is not surprising.. Today heavy rains are forecasted again.. so it will be an inside day.
