Thank you, @Pupowl and @izzyred9400 .

Yesterday was a much better day, and I was able to show a bit of control. Calories were still just a smidge high, but that was just due to poor planning, not food frenzies the way it's been. Definitely a step in the right direction. I'm sure I'll get there if I keep trying.

I've been walking, but haven't been running. My calf has been bugging me. It was sore after the half marathon two weekends ago, as was the rest of my legs. But then I kept tweaking it. Twice from twisting to put kids in the car, once from sprinting after my kid at the playground before it hurt himself, and once just from stepping down off the front steps. Simple actions, but each have caused quite a bit of pain. I'm not sure what's going on with it, but it doesn't feel right so trying to run on it doesn't seem like a good idea.

The boys have speech therapy first thing this morning so won't be able to do the morning walk. I'll try to go later in the day, but we're still having hot days (high 80s) so I'm not sure I'll want to go for a super long one.

I hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

Wednesday Weigh In

Hello Shape Shifters! Here’s my weekly weigh-in report —

Weigh-in Day: Thursday
PW: 144.3
CW: 144.1

SW: 168
Ltd: 23.9

My weight fluctuated between 141.4 after a day of rowing and soccer, and a high of 146.2 - likely due to salty foods and too many carbohydrates (including too much chocolate) - this week. So, I was surprised to land close to last week’s weight. It’s a difficult time of year for maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Hang in there, everyone! 💕

Hello Shape Shifters. I had a stressful week. Last Thursday Tinus got some issues and we went to the vet. I will spare you the details since it involves number 2 and he had two baths. Thankfully it was an easy thing to fix, so I am not worried about that anymore. He is however getting more painful in the back. I have noticed this for a while now, though it went so slow that I thought I was imagining it at first. Just seemed to misstep more often with his back legs and have bad balance. Now it is pretty noticable to me that he is either weak or painful when he jumps up things or down from things. I have already had low steps/jumps in the house for a long time though, so he doesn't have to navigate anything big. Though even with small jumps he sometimes falls over and he almost never goes upstairs anymore. Because of this and the stress I had, I moved my bed downstairs to the living room on Monday (and I had to drag the walking pad upstairs to make room which was very fun). This might sound crazy to some of you, but I want to be there if he needs me or just wants to cuddle on the bed at night without him having to go upstairs. I replaced my curtains in the living room not too long ago with light blocking ones which I am very glad about now. It gets dark enough downstairs, so sleeping has been totally fine for me.

It sucks to see him get worse, but he has been on the painkiller injection without issues for over two years, so at least the decline has gone slow. He is still very happy, running around and playing, so I don't think he is in pain all the time either. No need to panic just yet! I did get thrown off my routine really badly and I have struggled a lot with leaving the house so there have been a few days with no walk and no gym. I am a little more rational now (lol) and ready to get to work again. Just wanted to share why I have been quiet here. Anyway, here are a few cute pictures from the past week. I finally sat down to puzzle today for the first time in quite a while, and of course Tinus showed up. He gave me 20 minutes alone though, which was more than I expected! Good night everyone 💜
