@Terytha So sorry to hear about your neck but glad to hear you are now healing. Your restorative weekend plans sound lovely! @evangsimmons170 Best wishes for your continuing studies. That takes a huge commitment! I discovered that sometime last week I moved from "Obese" to "Overweight" on the BMI scale. And while I know it…

Wishing all of our American friends a Happy Independence Day although I'm sure with the current situation it will feel very different than previous ones. Let me say that I have been very saddened watching your COVID-19 news these past evenings. Please know that thoughts and prayers are with you. Stay safe and healthy!

Fingers crossed... Good work! If you don't mind me asking, when did you start your weight loss? I'm asking because your starting weight was pretty close to mine and you are now about my current goal weight. So I'm curious about what might be realistic for me to expect...

I did a legs session with my trainer this morning. And then I went for a deep tissue massage to work on some upper arm and knee issues. I tried a new fellow who had been recommended to me. It was a really good session. Certainly not a resort spa feel-good massage but he got down deep into areas I had not even perceived…

We woke up this morning to sunshine after 72 hours of pretty much straight rain, just in time to pack up and drive 5 hours home. But the sunshine followed us here and we got home in time to play 9 holes of golf. :) So now I will get back on track with exercise. And I have added a yoga mat to the list of things I need to…

@conleywoods Thanks for sharing this. Lots of food for thought. (I'm pretty sure though there are no calories to be logged in food for thought!)

Happy Canada Day to all our fellow Canadians! We pulled our trailer down to my home town in central Alberta on Monday afternoon since my sister was coming home for a visit. Thought we would play some golf but it has done nothing but rain, hard! So lots of cards and board games but no real exercise :( I think I'm keeping my…

Sorry to see you go. Best wishes on whatever roads your life's journey takes you!

So not off to a great start. One day in and I'm already off track with my exercise goal. Yesterday it didn't happen. :( But today is good. I just got back from the gym where I spent an hour on my chest & upper arms. :) Discovered I've a serious muscle knot in my right deltoids so have booked a deep tissue massage for later…

@Gidgetgoescrazy Good luck with your plantar fasciitis. I had a bout of it in 2013 after an ankle injury and it was no fun. I had good luck with physio and acupuncture. Still flares up occasionally but now I recognize it early and can get on stretching & exercises to keep it from becoming an issue.

@deniners2 Thanks for your kind words :)

Before July starts, I want to take a minute and reflect on June. My starting weight was 181.2 lbs. I had 4 green weigh-ins and lost 4.8 lbs ending up at 176.4, an average of 1.2 lbs/wk. My Tracker goals results were: Log everything and stay within +/- 5o calories of my daily allotment -- scored 79% Go for a walk -- scored…

Hello all! I'm back for another month although I really am mystified with where June went! Welcome to our new Waistaways! I'm CG, 61 years old and I live in rural NE Alberta very near the Saskatchewan border. I spent a lot of years looking after family, work and everybody else and didn't spend the time I needed to look…

Hang in there. Last year I had a longish interruption from my training with a broken rib. I felt the same way when I first got back but it returned very quickly. You'll be back in form in no time.

@jugar Thanks for the tiara! I've never had one. And for all your kind words and support. They mean a lot :) We headed out to golf early today since it was forecast to get quite warm. But then in the afternoon when it was hot I got zero accomplished. Heat just drains me of all my energy. We just got in from the hot tub -…

Today was a pretty good day. I was able to work with my trainer in the gym for the first time since March 16. The gym has actually been open for a couple weeks but I decided to give them a little bit of time to get the kinks out of all the new systems they have put in place. They have made some interesting changes to…

I've had a good couple days for exercise. We played a round of golf yesterday and another one today. And tomorrow I have my first session back at the gym lifting since the Covid-19 shutdown started. Could be interesting...

MFP reminded me today that I have logged everything for 100 days in a row! How time flies when you're having fun! Plus I found a pair of jeans that I can wear now that were out of the question over the winter!

I've been busy loading the trailer. We have to head to my hometown (about 5 hours away) to sign some documents with the lawyer. So we decided instead of staying with family we would take our trailer out for the first trip this year and make a mini-break. I'm not sure we'll have great cell coverage so I may be AWOL for a…

We'd love to hear what you think of it once you're into a bit :)

Way to go!

Just spent some time catching up on all your posts. I got off track here on the weekend. I seemed to be having a lot of problems getting into the website. But I did manage to keep logging and walking. Has anybody else had their daily allowed calories on a mobile device differ from their computer? I tried using my phone and…

I had a busy day in the yard & garden. We are forecast for 35 mm rain tomorrow and 25 mm on Sunday. (That is 1.4 and 1 in inches for my American friends.) So I had a lot I wanted to get done. I managed to accomplish most of it but sadly my walk went by the wayside...

You certainly have. Thank you for sharing these - very inspirational :)

So one of the things on my daily goals was to make and complete a to-do list each day - improve efficiency, keep me focused, etc. Today one of the things on the list was to clean all the flotsam and jetsam off my computer desk. Except in the process the list disappeared and then I wasted way too much time looking for the…
