@CassieGetsFit2013 You're going to do great! One step at a time. A reminder for all of us (especially me since I tend to forget😊 )"this is a marathon, not a sprint" As my trainer likes to say "baby steps" He"ll tell me to focus on one thing. For example, work on getting in your water this week, then the following week…

Saturday 10/3 Food: too much Water: 48 oz Exercise: 15 minutes upper body only Since I worked last night I slept my morning away.😁 I didn't do much with day, just pretty much sat around. Doing laundry now and am going to bed as soon as that is done. It sounds like I will be going to 1st shift. There were 5 of us that…

Friday 10/2 Food: a little too much Water: 96 oz Exercise: none My boss said there are "a couple of openings" on 1st shift. When he asked if anyone was interested in transferring only 2 of us raised our hands but sounds like several others talked to the boss later in the night to add their names to the list. It would be…

Thursday 10/1 Food: good Water: not enough Exercise: none It's been cold here, only 50's for the high temperature and maybe 40's at night. When I got home from work it was only 64 degrees in my condo. I broke down and turned on the heat. I wasn't ready to do that yet but freezing inside my home didn't sound like a good…

@xX_PhoenixRising_Xx Great job on those squats! 110 pounds! Wow! My trainer gives me a 12 to 15 pound dumbbell when I do goblet squats. Sometimes 20 or 25 if he thinks I can do it. We haven't done any work on the squat rack. Thanks! I've been trying to work hard on it. Having a trainer helps.

Wednesday 9/30 Food; good Water: 40 oz Exercise: 40 minutes I worked with my trainer today, 30 minute session plus 10 minute speed intervals on the treadmill. I had to be a little careful today. My knee bothered me most of the night at work. I was able to do the treadmill warmup without any problems but we had to modify a…

tryingagain5 Wednesday Week 5 PW: 202.8 CW: 200.2 Loss: 2.6 Wow! Must be doing something right! I haven't been getting in enough water and still somewhat sporadic on the exercise. Haven't necessarily been eating healthy all the time but have been eating less. Looked back at my beginning weight for September and I'm down 7…

@debbiewsharpe Sounds like you are really busy. Nice that you are able to do all of that work for your church and to try and keep everyone engaged even though you aren't meeting in person right now. Don't think of it as a "diet". It's too easy to go "on" or "off" a diet. I try to think of it more as a lifestyle change.…

@1theresamcvean That is a creepy, stressful situation. I hope you will be able to get her out of your house. So sorry she misrepresented herself as a student. It sounds like she has some issues considering her family doesn't want her to stay with them. It's funny you said something about it being like a movie. There was a…

@kandi3570 Burgers! Yum! Nice you had a slower day at work so you could rest your ankle a little. Enjoy your sporting events! It was nice running into her. She and her husband still live in the same house as they did when I knew them as a kid. We didn't really talk about the past, mostly just catching up a little. I do…

@1theresamcvean Yes, that's what the scheduler told me so I hope I get them right away. Now I just need to not think about it until the appointment on the 9th. Hard not to though. Thanks for the hugs! Will definitely have to continue with the workouts to relieve some of the stress of waiting for the test.

Tuesday 9/29 Food: good Water: not enough Exercise: 15 minutes low intensity at home Work went pretty fast last night except for the last rotation. The machine I was on was having some issues so the parts came much slower than normal. As I waited for the parts to come I paced back and forth or marched/walked in place. If…

@mainebeachbum Nice! Sounds like a great job. You get to help people everyday. I've had physical therapy several times for different things. It helps a lot as long as you do the homework. I know some people who only did the exercises with the PT and didn't do any of the homework and they still have issues.

@lennoncpa Yay! Love the doggie pics!😁 Can't wait to see the new doggie!😊

Monday 9/28 Food: good Watet: 32 oz Exercise: 30 minutes with my trainer Got home a little later than normal today. My neighbors were out with their dogs this morning so I talked with them for a while. Tried calling to get an appointment for the extra breast images but the automated message said I was caller 9 and I didn't…

@mainebeachbum What do you do at the clinic/hospital? That us definitely small if you can cover the length of the clinic in 10 to 15 steps.

@kandi3570 Sorry about your tendinitis. Hope you get it under control. White is always a good choice when painting. You can always change your mind later. Oliver us cute! Of course he claimed the area.😊

Sunday 9/27 Food: too much Water: 40 oz Exercise: none I slept in a little this morning. We had indoor church again this morning, first time in a few months. It was different but really nice being inside. Could actually hear everyone singing. That sounded so nice. It was hard to hear people when we were outside and there…

@kirsten11872 You're welcome! I would have been surprised too!

@GingerPwr Thanks! It is a little concerning having to go back because I never had to do that before. I talked with several people who had to go back and for them it was nothing more than the images weren't as clear as they could have been. A couple had to have a biopsy but everything turned out ok for them also. I'm…

Saturday 9/26 Food: good Exercise: 2 short walks My dad came over and gave me his old 32" TV. He got a larger one from the family he does yard work for (they got a wall mounted one). I didn't realize how small the one I had really was. I think 19". I spent my day doing a load of laundry and did some cooking. One of my…

@Freeglerock I find it hard to focus on food and exercise when I have pain issues too. Sorry about your back. Glad it's feeling a little better. I've never done karate. Sounds like fun! You'll get your head back in the game! I have confidence in you! It took me a while too.

@kirsten11872 Great loss!

@cafelelia Oh to be 141 pounds! That's probably around where I should be too. Also a short person here. Depending on who measures me at the doctor's office I'm either 5'1 or 5'2. I'm a long way from that but working my way to it.😊 I get really behind on posts too and most of the time end up just reading the ones on the…

Friday 9/25 Food: good Water: 40 oz Exercise: 10 minute short walk After work I slept for about an hour and a half and then called my doctor's office. I've been having an issue with my feet and lower legs being cold all the time. My nurse friends told me not to wait to long to get checked out. They're thinking it may be a…

@ljdanny Thanks my back is feeling a little better. I hope you can get your surgery and that will help your feet.

@hope002 Great loss!

@1theresamcvean Glad your covid test was negative and that you are feeling better! You're welcome, I try to remember but can't always remember.🙄

@melaniedscott I hope you can get your migraines under control. It's probably somewhat helpful to know what foods that trigger it so you can do your best to stay away from those.

@kandi3570 Great loss! Keep up the good work!
