Cre804 Friday PW 192.5 CW 191.0 My left knee has improved somewhat. I went to the grocery store this morning and managed to make it through the whole store! Now that I have more mobility, I’m hoping to spend more time in the kitchen. We have another blast of cold weather heading our way so I think chili will be on the…

Cre804 Friday PW 192.5 CW 192.5 We’ve been stuck inside the house the past few days. Just a few inches of snow, but here in Texas we don’t have a lot of equipment to plow streets. And people around here don’t know how to drive so it’s just safer to stay inside. I’ve been working on some things I’ve been putting off like…

Cre804 Friday PW 191.5 CW 192.5 This was our big family pig out week so I’m ok with a one pound gain. Kids have gone back to their respective homes so it’s time to start clearing out the junk food. For us, Christmas is not officially over until my daughter’s birthday on January 9th so this is the time we use or toss all…

Cre804 Friday PW 192.5 CW 191.5 Sorry I’m late-I’ve totally lost track of the days. My daughter left this morning but my son is home til NYE. Lots going on. Had a checkup at the Dr on Friday. My blood glucose levels have dropped in the past month or so, but unfortunately it didn’t lead to a corresponding drop in A1c. Going…

Cre804 Friday PW 191.0 CW 192.5 At least some of that is water weight so I’m not too concerned. This will be the challenging week so I need to make a point of eating enough protein and drinking my water. If I don’t get back on before, Merry Christmas everyone!

Cre804 Friday PW 192.5 CW 191.0 The cortisone shot I got last week has helped my knee. Still some discomfort, but I can easily climb stairs right now. I was only able to get a partial fill on my Rx to take instead of advil so I have to go back to the pharmacy to get the rest of it. Meanwhile, I had oral surgery on Tuesday.…

Good idea! I do have the Fairlife Protein Shakes on hand so I will be sure to use them!

Cre804 Friday PW 196.0 CW 192.5 Glad to see that the thanksgiving gain was temporary! I got to see my orthopedist this week. My “good “ leg was diagnosed with arthritis and bone spurs, but I am not yet bone-on-bone. I elected to have a cortisone injection to ease inflammation, and a stronger NSAID was prescribed. It could…

Cre804 Friday PW 192 CW 196 This was for the day after thanksgiving-sorry it’s late. It was an unexpectedly big jump, but it’s coming down a bit since then. I’ve been eating out too much since grocery shopping is such a struggle right now. Had my daughter in from Houston and we went out to eat instead of fixing a big…

Quick question- with Black Friday coming up, I’m considering getting an Apple Watch. I currently have a Fitbit Charge 5 but it’s a couple years old and it seems like I always have to replace them every few years anyway. I like it well enough but since I’m already in the apple ecosystem, I’m wondering if I would like an…

Cre804 Friday PW 191.5 CW 192.0 I’ve been off track this week, probably some stress eating involved as well. I haven’t been cooking much because it’s too painful to be walking around. My knee has not improved and while I originally planned to power through the holidays, I called today to get in to see my orthopedic…

@cre804 Does your name show as cre804 on Threads as well? I see a lady with a picture similar to yours, but want to make sure it's you before accepting...thanks! Jessica[/quote] It’s @cindyepting on Threads

Cre804 Friday PW 191.0 CW 191.5 I finished up my steroid pack a couple days ago. I always thought those would make you gain weight but it seemed the opposite for me. I had a 7 pound weight fluctuation in 6 days! I’m not sure they did much good, but I’m just going to power through the holidays. Still lifting weights 3x…

Just gave you a follow on Threads!

It was a rough week for me as well. Feel free to send me a friend request and we can link up in Threads or Bluesky. As far as the holidays, do what you feel’s best for you. I’ve had some years where I could barely decorate so I totally get it. Last year my son and his partner came home for thanksgiving but not Christmas,…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 191.0 This is a surprise, although the prior week was a zero gain/loss so maybe my body is just playing catch up. I’m still dealing with a bum knee so very little movement outside of weight training 3x week. I started a cortisone pill pack on Wednesday, after I was sure it wouldn’t interfere with…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 194.5 I had so much enthusiasm a few weeks ago, then I hurt my good knee and it’s really got me down. I felt like I had one month of both knees being good then my left knee went out big time. I’m still working out, but I went to the grocery store after gym yesterday and could barely make it thru…

Cre804 Friday PW 196.0 CW 194.5 I’ve had one good month where both knees felt really good. Now my left knee is acting up and I’m afraid I have a torn meniscus. It feels like what I had in my right knee. I’m trying to stay off of it, which isn’t helping with getting exercise or cooking dinner. If it’s not getting better by…

Cre804 Friday PW 191.5 CW 196.0 I am even more shocked at the weight gain as I was of last week’s loss! We had Chinese last night so I’m sure sodium is at least part of it. My daughter came home for the week and I’ve cooked more, especially since the weather cooled off. I made the first chili of the season and that was…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 191.5 I’ve been committed to journaling my food this week and it shows, although I maintained my weight last week so I really see this as a two week loss. I’ve got to step up and get my walks in though. I think I’m put off by it getting dark earlier. It’s best for my blood sugar to walk after a…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 194.5 I have a renewed sense of discipline today. Don’t know how long it will last but I’ll see if I can make some concrete plans. I’ve worked out at the gym and done my walk for today. Now I need to work on meal planning. I’ve been a slug since I got back from Colorado, but I’ve had improvement…

Cre804 Friday PW 193.5 CW 194.5 I’m so sorry I totally missed checking in on Friday!

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 193.5 Just got home yesterday from a nice trip to Colorado. We had great weather for the most part and I even did a little hiking! First pic is me, the same week in September 39 years ago, hiking the exact same trail! Bad news is I got home and found out that my physical therapy place totally shut…

Cre804 Friday PW 195.0 CW 194.5 Please excuse me from the next two weigh-ins. Short notice but my husband has booked us a trip to Colorado for our anniversary. I haven’t even finished unpacking from our last trip!

CRE804 Friday PW 194.5 CW 195.0 I apologize for no weigh in this past Friday. I’m out of town and am having difficulty posting again. I was 195.0 last Friday and I will miss this Friday. We have escaped the oppressive Texas heat and are enjoying 67 and sunny temps on Mackinac Island!

Cre804 Friday PW 193.5 CW 194.5 It’s been a weird week, food-wise. I’ve been on a soft diet due to my dental work, I had one night where dinner was literally junk food (had to leave my house at 4 to carpool to an event an hour away, and upon arrival found they had all kind of snacks. Didn’t get home til 10:30), and another…

Cre804 Friday PW 194.5 CW193.5 I’m sorry this post is late! I know I was in the app on Friday so I don’t know why it didn’t post. I may have to start using the web version since I’ve had so much trouble posting recently. I had a tooth pulled last Tuesday, along with a bone graft so I’ve been on a soft diet. After a second…

Cre804 Friday PW 197.0 CW 194.5 Looks like I recovered from Birthday Week but I had a bit of a tummy issue yesterday so that likely affected the weigh in. I’m fine now. I’m dealing with an abscessed tooth now, and have to decide on the treatment plan-root canal or extraction/implant. My head is just not in the right frame…

Cre804 Friday PW 196.5 CW 197.0 I’m ok with that because it’s my birthday week, my daughter came in town for a few days and my husband just came back from a medical mission trip to Belize. Many thanks to Patrice for passing along last week’s numbers when my app was being wonky! Hopefully I can post today. My daughter and I…
