@sleepymom5 Thanks! Yes, I stand in one place at work. We have thick mats to stand on that are provided by the company so I'm good there. I think the chiropractic adjustments are helping, just slowly. I think the back and hip issue came from the limping, which was caused by the osteoarthritis. I think I've been out of…

@1theresamcvean It is pretty painful but I'm having a hard time figuring out if it's a little better or not. I think this is the worst I've had it in a long time since I can't remember the last time I actually stayed home from work for it. Thanks, I hope a few sessions will help too. Was already having trouble with…

@minstrelofsarcasm I see you have me listed as not weighing in yet. Not sure if you saw my post earlier this morning. Since I stayed home from work last night I weighed in this morning instead of late afternoon like I usually do.

Yep, definitely!

I went to the chiropractor this morning. He said my hip went back to where it was before the adjustment yesterday. He wants to see me again tomorrow. Normally one adjustment would be enough but not this time. I asked if I should stay home from work one more night and he told me it was my decision. I haven't decided yet but…

@melaniedscott I hope you start feeling better soon! Enjoy your soup, once you decide what to make. Thanks! Back pain is definitely no fun. I've been trying to do some light standing stretches. I did see several, including the ones you mentioned, where you would need to get on the floor. I'm afraid of getting on the floor…

@1theresamcvean Thanks! Trying to work hard within my limitations right now.

@kandi3570 Great job! Keep going! And I do agree you need to indulge a little (just not too much.😉 I find that if I don't eat things I enjoy I will overdo it because I've been too restrictive. I try fit in a treat most days.

Update for the week I've been having some back issues since last Wednesday but not that bad, mostly bothered me when getting up from a sitting position. Once I started moving around it seemed to be fine again. I had a therapy session on Friday for my knee so I told him about the back issue. He tried to do some therapy for…

tryingagain5 Wednesday Week 2, I think.🤔 PW: 205.0 CW: 202.2 Loss: 2.8 Not sure how that happened but I'll take it. Way too much food over the weekend, not enough water and very limited exercise.

I started having an issue with my back/hip on Wednesday afternoon. I'm pretty sure it's from the knee issues, which cause me to limp sometimes. I had to be careful at my training session on Thursday. Friday I had a physical therapy session. The PT asked me how I was doing so I told him about the back/hip so he gave me a…

@sleepymom5 Great job on allowing yourself to have some chocolate! It's hard for me to do that too because I really love chocolate.🤗 As my trainer likes to tell me "everything in moderation" Thanks! I was pleasantly surprised with the loss. I figured with the amount of food I ate Thanksgiving day and the Friday after I…

Wednesday Week 1 CW: 205.0 @minstrelofsarcasm @1theresamcvean I'm not sure what to count as my PW because of being on the cheer team for November. I show that Oct 28(I think that was my last weigh in before cheer squad) was 210.2 11/4 I was 211.0 11/25 I was 205.4 day before Thanksgiving Ate way too much on Thanksgiving…

Check in for Friday 11/27 I spent the night at my sister's house on Thanksgiving, which was nice. We don't spend a lot of time together. She's a great cook and I ended up eating too much on Friday too and not enough water. I did ok for exercise though. I did my PT exercises, 15 minutes of low intensity exercise and my…

@lennoncpa Aww! Love the Sunny pics! He is so cute!

@KUMEcyclingteam Love the cakes! I definitely laughed at the last one.🤣 That was great! You are talented! I also loved your little "rant" about the scale after Thanksgiving. I ate too much then too. (also ate too much today(Friday). My sister is a good cook and I was at her house both days and like you couldn't put my fork…

The plan was to not go overboard at Thanksgiving dinner. Everything was so good I did get carried away.😯 I've been doing pretty well the last few weeks so I'm not going to worry about one day since that doesn't help anyway. We had a small group. Just my sister, brother in law, one nephew, his wife and baby, my dad and me.…

Happy Thanksgiving! I'm way behind again.😊 I've been doing pretty well. I looked back at what I weighed at the beginning of November and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that I had lost almost 6 pounds for the month. Now to keep going.😁 I'm off work until Sunday night and am happy about that. Need some time off after…

@sleepymom5 You're doing great! Keep it up! Michigan's restrictions are for the whole state, not just by area. It seems like doing them by area might be a better way to do it. They're also recommending to not get together for Thanksgiving with anyone outside your household and if you do to limit it to 2 households and…

@cafelelia I hope your son can still have his ceremony at church. My church cancelled all in person events during the week a couple weeks ago and decided to cancel in person Sunday services starting this week for Michigan's "3 week pause" as they're calling it. Most people think it's going to be much longer. Especially…

I can't remember the last time I posted this week.😊🤔 I'm so tired. I feel like all I did this week is work and sleep. I ended up working 16 hours of OT this week. It was going to be 18 but they had so many people volunteer for OT that they had to scale back a little. That's a good problem for a company to have. Usually…

Sunday and Monday check in Food: good Water: 32 oz each day Exercise: 15 minutes on Sunday, 30 minutes with trainer on Monday Sunday is always a short day for me. Church in the morning, then lunch, then sleep for the afternoon so I can stay awake for work. Monday also seemed short. Slept after work, worked with my trainer…

@sleepymom5 Thanks, I've been working really hard on it. I'm still weighing myself daily even though I'm not officially weighing in here. It's nice to see the scale going down most of the time.😊 Sounds like you had a good weekend too. Sitting by the fire sounds nice.

Hugs! You're going to do great! My aunt lives near Amsterdam.

I've lost track of what day I posted this week. I think it was Wednesday. I'm going to blame it on working 3rd shift.🤣 Anyway, I've been doing pretty well this week with food. Still working on the water part and exercise kind of depends on my knee. I did go to the gym on Thursday and did 15 minutes on the bike 30 minutes…

Wed 11/11 check in Food: good Water: 32 oz Exercise: PT exercises and 15 minute walk I had my PT appointment at 8:30 today, which is later than I normally have it. He asked how my knee was feeling. I told him that going up the stairs is getting better but going down is still an issue. He said that is normal and going down…

@lennoncpa Glad you were able to do your outdoor class yesterday. It sure got cold here. I went to my doctors appointment yesterday in shorts and a tshirt and then we had a severe thunderstorm come through last night and today the high was probably mid 40's. As you know Michigan weather is so unpredictable.🤣 Great job on…

@cafelelia That's a great focus. Appreciating what we have instead of focusing on what we don't is always a good thing. I think we sometimes forget and focus on the wrong thing. I know I do that even though I try not to. What a great idea to make photo books for your boys!

@GingerPwr I've learned not to feel bad when I eat something I probably shouldn't have since it doesn't help anyway and just causes more issues. Hope you got all your housework done and got in your workout that you were excited about doing.
