Happy Monday. I'm back swimming and hiking after almost a month off. It feels so good to be back. Yesterday was such a beautiful day to hike. The trees aren't quite changing yet, but the morning has a bit of a chill in the air. My sister and I only hiked about 3 miles yesterday just to get back in the groove. It's one of…

I can't believe it's been a year! Bravo to both of you. It's been fun watching the journey. :)

Love all the technical details, @AnnPT77 Most of it doesn't make too much sense to me, but it's fascinating. Keep sharing.

Hi everyone! Had a glitch in my get-a-long last week with unexpected bowel obstruction surgery. A week ago Saturday, I went from flapping around like a drunk goose closing all my circles to bent over, excruciating stomach pains in about 45 minutes. I won't get into the ugly details. I was so thankful to be in such better…

It will be interesting to see the next drop in size. I started in snug 22's and after losing 70#, the 14's fit for the most part. They've gotten a little snug over the last two months. Now that I'm back on track, they should loosen up. I bought a few 12's at the Goodwill and I'm hoping to be in them in the next month or…

Back at it and finally feeling like my head is in the game. I made 3 dozen protein muffins to freeze for snacks and my favorite breakfast quiche. Logging, weighing in and back in a MFP challenge gets me in the groove. :smile:

@deepwoodslady What a scary situation! I'm glad you're feeling a bit better. <3

@Alatariel75 Thank you! It has been an incredible journey and I'm going to keep going. Up and down a bit, but still paying attention and hopeful!

@healingmysticmelody Great suggestion, Melody. I'll give them a try. You got this!! Both of us do. After all, we are still here. :smile:

@cmriverside Great suggestion. I love that idea. The elephants were amazing. :smile:

Twelve month update: I’m a few weeks late posting this, maybe because I’m a bit embarrassed. I suppose it’s expected to have a few bumps in the road. While there were tough times here and there in the first nine months, this bump has turned into more of a hill. Still, it’s not a mountain and I’m determined to figure it out…

Thanks @JbeanR0212 That means a lot to me. It's been a struggle, but I'm going to keep showing up because one of these days, it's going to click in again. :smile:

Thank you, @AnnPT77 Still here and paddling away. I'm one of those people who prefers to exercise without interacting too much with people, other than hiking with my sister. I take an occasional class with Orange Theory Fitness, but sometimes they have "partner" workouts, which I don't really care for. My goal is to get in…

@deepwoodslady Sending hugs your way.

Love the sculptures, Ann! People are so creative. I'm struggling. After my trip in May, I've had a hard time getting back on track. My exercise routine is finally good, but my eating is still off. My low weight was 188 on April 12th. When I look back, I was bouncing between 188-192 from mid-March until I left on vacation.…

Happy belated Canada Day and Happy 4th of July! I can't believe we are in July already. On Friday, I headed out with friends to the Cherry Creek Arts Festival in Denver. What a treat!
