Well I thought I was going to veg today because of my knees. Then I thought to myself no you need to get off your but. So dogs and I went out and walked. Started to get nervous when sun started going down. Made it back in plenty of time though. Love "Map my Walk". Weighed again today and still going down. Only 1.3 pounds…

Sorry about your ex. You will overcome this, drink lots of water today, it helps me.

Well hello happy Friday. I wanted to try something new on DVD so put a new one in and NO sound. So I'm sending it back to Amazon. I tried a different one. It was walking with upper and lower toning included. It used weights so I'm anxious to see how I feel tomorrow. I ate well today and have been drinking water like crazy.…

6/365 Hey I put one of my new DVD's in and guess what?? No sound. So back to Amazon it goes. I did try a different one today it was walking with upper and lower body workout. It was good. I did notice this evening that the swelling in my left knee has gone down to my shin. So I'm getting a little nervous. If it still that…

Glad you liked Zumba. I think you are doing great. Your goals are good ones. You have lost a lot already!!!! You must be doing something right. Keep up the good work.

Thinking positive thoughts for you, still keeping my fingers crossed too.

@khatmott thank you for sharing this with me. I need to read this a lot. Bless you!

Wow I love your bathroom. I probably would work out just so I could steam in your shower. I hope you know how lucky you are!!!! Seriously thanks for your imput. I wish my knees would let me work out like that, cause I used to do that too. Walking is okay but it doesn't get me like a serious Zumba or run. But I have to be…

5/365 Migraine today. Didn't feel relief till after 3:00pm so I didn't do a workout today. After a migraine with the achy feeling and sensitivity I was afraid to do much. I'm trying to figure out why I had one. Yesterday I had a caffeine free Diet Coke. I haven't had artificial sweetener lately, I wonder if that could be a…

So happy for you!!!!!! Late night workout do you have trouble sleeping after? Just curious. I have trouble sleeping wondering if I worked out if I'd get tired enough to sleep. I was afraid it would wake me up more.

I bought a new scale this week. I told myself it was an investment. It's a Garmin scale and it connects to my Garmin Viofit step. It not only does weight, it does body mass index, % of bone, muscle, and water weight. When I sync it's all listed on my Garmin account. I'm hoping with all this information it will help me stay…

I wish when I worked I had a stand up desk. Do you work at home? I'm glad you like your trainer I hope your back will be better by then, wouldn't want you to have more pain with that too. Talked to my daughter today and she was telling me there is core workouts that you can do seated. I'm going to google it later tonite…

Wow I never have tried the wash cloth thing for ears I am so going to try it. Thanks @quzzdragon ! The thing is was weighing once a month. Granted I weighed early but no weight loss for a whole month seems devastating. But I am going to start weighing daily, now that I have a new scale. I wasn't going to do that cause it…

@khatmott thanks for your support. Yesterday was my last weekly grief meeting. We had lunch after and I ate too much , over calories. Ive only had that twice. I don't like it. Tonite the previous grief group fixed dinner for us. Unknown menu, I don't want to go over again. I weigh in next week. Tried my new scale today I…

4/365 Well weather changed drastically so I walked the stores for my exercise. Did good at getting steps fine and didn't buy anything.

I do too. Are these test expensive it sounds like the information would be helpful. Muscles are good right? Thanks for sharing :p

Sounds like your doing great. I also wanted to say how sorry I am about your fiancé. I should have put that in my response on my journal. You know how people say things to you that kinda hurts. I didn't want to go there, because words can't describe how bad it hurts and no one can make it go away. Just wanted to say thanks…

Please stay with us. I know I've wrote about my pain, and everyone here is so supportive, and it does help to have a place to vent. I wish I would have been on here when I was eating myself to the highest weight I've ever been.

You know walking really is better on your body. The last time I lost weight I walked every day after work. I also did weights at gym but my cardio was walking. I'm like you I really like it better than running.

Hey, glad to hear you had an interview already. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. I'm so glad your clothes are looser on you, there's nothing that feels better than that. I'm doing cartwheels for you.

Great catching up with you. Glad your Gram is ok. Sounds like you are planning a lot of exercise. A triathlon sounds big to me. I think it's great your getting your family into fitness too. Don't be so hard on yourself with the food, I can say that to you, but I beat myself up too when I don't eat right.

3/365 Today was beautiful in Kentucky, took my workout outside. Walked over two miles, with my two dogs. Put them in doggie stroller for most of it Shih Tzu's have such short legs they tire quick. They love the stroller, stick out there heads like they do in cars. We get a lot of looks on our walks. I would appreciate any…

Thanks Jessica, cmr3399 and quzzdragon I love having your support. You would not believe how beautiful the weather is here today, so I took my doggie stroller out with Jax and Wickit, put my fav Guardians of the Galaxy on my music and tried a new app Mapmywalk. I thought I did pretty well. I worked up quite a sweat B) .…

Well I didn't go to Zumba, so I did the DVD "Walk Away the Pounds" brisk two mile walk. I ordered a new scale from Amazon, it's a Garmin so it will interface with my Garmin Viofit. I read the reviews and I can't wait to get it. It gives you a lot of information other than just weight. I know it was expensive but it's a…

2/365 I Walk Away the Pounds DVD brisk walk two miles. Feel good. I wish my knees would allow more aerobic activity I live Zumba.

Thanks quzzdragon and cmr3399 you may be right class is just once a week but I don't want to hurt again so I guess it's walking again today. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks Jillian

You are a brave woman. You are making good changes. I applaud you and will always cheer for you along the way!

What a great team you will make. You are lucky to have someone in your family that can help you.
