    @MercyRoth - your welcome. Alot of people don't realize all the additional benefits that the meds are giving people. And depending on your doctor they may or may not be up on the latest research so many are against them . So definitely do your own research. Redditt is a great source of info (but also has some crazy stuff out there too) S0 much of our resistance to drop weight is inflammation related. Once you fix that, through diet, mostly, and the meds now, things start to happen. There are way more beneficial things they are finding with these meds now. Like anything they aren't magic , you have to put the work in and be disciplined. Some people are super responders but I never was.. Slow and steady and sometimes no change for months on for me on the weightloss .

    Best laid plans gone awry yesterday. I was gone from 10:00 am - 5:30 yesterday and had no energy to plan any good meals or cook upon arriving home. Literally picked up another Mexican fajita salad but threw away the shell and soggy bottom. Then, had red wine and chocolate- delicious but high calories over my limit (obviously)!

    Like some of you here, I going to fill my plate with more fresh vegetables this weekend. I also like brown rice as a reset food. I feel like I have had too many processed potato and corn foods lately.
    Happy Friday everyone!

    @HappyDonkey75 inflammatory conditions definitely run in my family so it’s something to watch out for in my case. Thanks for the great advice. And to know the loss has been slow for you too. Not that I wish that upon anyone but there’s comfort in knowing that’s just the journey for some people, nothing wrong with that

    Oh geez… well it is a few days before TOM so I guess that could be it. I’ve been under in calories. Maybe I should cut out the morning hash browns with my breakfasts.

    Went to a strength training class and loved it. Weight loss is a learning process for me like all things in life. Don’t want to be too hard on myself because that’s not good for my self image. Focusing on vegetables and protein today and skipping the wine.

    173 yesterday, forgot to weigh today. Somewhat tired but getting back into a little routine. Grocery shopping, laundry and a walk. Would like to plant some tomatoes and do a longer walk tomorrow.

    I did end up doing a 30 minute weighted vest session on the treadmill early yesterday morning to ensure I got something done. I also survived the shopping adventure with mom but I was sure exhausted after. Boy that is a process. It took us 3 hours in the store to get all the things and even then we still didn't find everything. She gets herself so overwhelmed due to her own indecisiveness.

    The afternoon at the lake at my friends get together was much needed - completely out of cell range so it involved was sitting my butt in a camp chair and just chatting with people. I have to force myself to do these things more often otherwise I just stay home and do work or projects on the property. I did over indulge a bit with food and had two white claws so it ofcourse reflected on the scale this morning. It doesn't take much to go Up , but so hard to move the scale down..

    Today is day 3 of grilled chicken, brown rice and steamed vegetables for lunch and dinner. Going to a family BBQ tomorrow and I am taking a Mediterranean salad with my own dressing made with EVOO. Don't think there will be too many temptations. Son is making chicken, and burgers and daughter is bringing strawberry shortcake cake.
    Have a good Sunday everyone!

    Some news. The condo unit next door had a fire a few days ago. I had to evacuate my condo. I took my cat, Misha and put her in her carrier and carried her down 20 flights of stairs. Everything is ok. No one got hurt and there is no damage to my condo. Firefighters showed up quickly… but,

    My legs have been extremely sore since then! It’s from the stairs. I can barely walk! Sitting down and getting up is difficult. I can’t believe how affected I am! Sure I was carrying a cat and a carrier but geez, I thought I could handle that! I knew I had strained myself right away because my legs were really shaky after doing the stairs. They were shaking all day! The next day the pain set in.

    Anyway, I’m just resting now. Even walking around my apartment is difficult. I had to cancel a trip to the park cause, yeah, I can’t walk without quite a bit of pain. I’ve never had post workout soreness this extreme before! Needless to say I haven’t been to the gym for a few days.

    It’s making me think about strength training. What if I decided to climb the stairs every once in a while to build up my strength? (this experience has made me feel like an out of shape weakling!) Maybe start with 5 flights of stairs. Up and down. Hmmm 🤔

    Oh wow @Kupla71 that is very scary! And a reminder what we’re not just exercising for long term health but short term needs too! Hope you have a safe place for the two of you while they sort out your building.
    For me, while I haven’t broken through the plateau, I had a socially very busy weekend and I’m happy that I stayed measured with my eating and haven’t gained.

    @MercyRoth Luckily, I was able to return to my apartment after a few hours. I went to my friend’s place who lives on the 5th floor for those few hours. There are fan machines out in the hallway to dry the carpet but other than that everything is back to normal.

    Felt better yesterday and back to 100% today. Scale at 174 this morning. Very productive day with washing our camper, finishing laundry and getting my garden plot ready for planting tomorrow.

    @Kupla71 so sorry about having to evacuate with your cat, definitely scary.

    @tishsmith101 I’m ok. It wasn’t so bad. We have a lot of false fire alarms in my building so I’m used to it! Misha was meowing though. Poor girl!

    We have salad stuff for the week, and I cooked chicken for the week too, so food plan in place.

    Oh @Kupla71, that must have been scary! I'm so glad your condo is ok, and you could return to it. Stairs can really do a number on you, up or down. Are you taking anything like an anti-inflammatory for pain and to reduce any swelling? That was like running a marathon without training, so it makes sense you are sore. I'm sorry it affected your cat too. <3

    Congrats on breaking through the plateau, MercyRoth!

    Glad you're feeling better, @tishsmith101 !

    @MercyRoth - Congrats on breaking that plateau..crazy how our bodies just want to do their own thing in spite of our best efforts.. When I finally tracked calories again and dropped it by 100, mine broke .. It seems like I stall for a while… then have a 3-4 lb drop , then stall again.. I envy those that can consistently lose 0.5-2 lbs a week..

    @tishsmith101- glad your on the mend and able to get some things accomplished.

    @ManifestingToday - yes, I had a great time , thanks..

    @Kupla71 - like others mentioned that must have been a little nerve wracking but glad all was ok. Poor Kitty must have been a little traumatized. I bet you had a bit of an adrenalin dump while going up and down the stairs in the chaos . It can cause muscle soreness like this.. Hot baths with epsom salts and magnesium (both topical and supplemental) can help.

    @ManifestingToday Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't physically prepared for those stairs! I took some Tylenol but it didn't help. Misha is quite resilient! She was fine about 10 minutes after I got back home!

    @HappyDonkey75 Thanks! It was a bit of a mad rush getting to the lobby. I tried a hot bath later for my muscles but it didn't seem to help. I didn't have any epsom salts. I think my legs will be back to normal tomorrow though.

    I didn't weigh myself today, but will tomorrow. I finally started strength training. I did an upper body workout and ab exercises. I was feeling like a slug because my legs were so sore I couldn't walk very easily so thought it was a good opportunity to lift some weights!

    174.5 yesterday and today. My sister is here for a visit so having our traditional summer family dinner tonight. Grilled chicken (mom's marinade), german potato salad and corn on the cob. Skipping the big chocolate cake in favor of slice strawberries.

    Walked almost 3 miles yesterday. Would like to add some strength training back in but might have to settle for planting my container garden. 5 kinds of tomatoes, a couple zucchini, cucumbers and some lettuce. The local farm store was out of green beans, boo.

    Long walks on the beach are coming!

    Its another sunny beautiful day here and hard to focus on work ! Yesterday I didn't get as much accomplished as I hoped and it took me way longer to finish a couple of to do items than it should have because my attention span was like a gnats.

    Hoping to get my evening hike in , likely solo, since my friend bailed on joining me weekly( I think I posted last week about this) but I have a couple of podcasts I'd like to catch up on so its fine..

    Re-Starting Weight March 20, 2025: 205.6

    May Goal: 185

    • May 1: 191.2 - Up a pound from yesterday, but still happy
    • May 2: 191.6 - Grrrr
    • May 3: 192.5
    • May 4: 191.8
    • May 5: 195.2 - I felt bloated and gross this morning. Not sure what's going on, but I'm not going to worry overly much about this. I did not eat and extra 12000 calories yesterday.
    • May 6: 192.4
    • May 7: 194.2 - Not really going my way this week. May goal is beginning to look out of reach…
    • May 8: 192.6 - Leveling out. I lifted today for the first time in ages. Gonna see a bump in the scale tomorrow most likely.
    • May 9: 191.6 - Just about back to where I started the month.
    • May 10: 192.4 - 3 cheese penne chicken pasta for dinner - high carb & salt. Within calories.
    • May 11: 192.2
    • May 12: 193.0 - Happy Mother's Day bump up
    • May 13: 191.4 - Nothing like a good spin class to bring you back
    • May 14: 191.2 - Back to May 1st weight. Still not back to April 30th weight of 190.6. Baby steps.
    • May 15: 191.0
    • May 16: 189.8
    • May 17-19: Won’t be able to weigh next 3 days due to travel.
    • May 20: I chose not to weigh today. Sodium intake was off the charts yesterday and I'm definitely retaining water (rings don't fit). I will weigh tomorrow and hope my long weekend doesn't ruin the month's progress. Some weight loss is better than no weight loss.
    • May 21: 191.0 - Up from the low, but consistent from last week. Considering the festive weekend and the random nature of my hormones right now, I'll take it.
    • Skipped a bunch of days. I was still logging, but I was nervous that the scale was going up so I chose to bury my head in the sand. Finally got up the courage to weigh today, and it was better than I thought.
    • May 28: 190.2 still not a great month, but it's down a little.
