Question of the Day: I'm definitely all for ice cream on a cold winter's day. I love the extra cold when I'm all bundled up under covers. This week has been busy with my kids end of year activities. On Tuesday I saw my GI about my esophageal spasms, nausea and abdomen pain. He thought it could be diet related/ I'm not…

@Katmary71 @vegan4lyfe2012 Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. @vegan4lyfe2012- Your photos are beautiful. What a gorgeous night sky.

Weigh in day- Saturday PW-252.8 CW-257 This week I've been more consistent with logging my food. I've done better this week with food choices but my weeks of overeating caught up with me this week. I'm going to be celebrating this weekend with my birthday today and mother's day tomorrow. But come Monday I'm going to be…

I'm a day last log my weigh in. PW-251.8 CW-253 Sorry for the late log in.

SW-284 CW-251 PW- 247.8 I'm still working on staying within my calorie goals. I had my reassessment at PT and I'm going down to two times a week instead of three. I'm getting stronger and have a lot less pain. Slowly very slowly my left side is getting better.

Weigh in day- Saturday PW- 248 CW-247.8 I'm happy I didn't gain this week. I'm slowly making progress in bring down how much I eat daily. My goal this week is to be as close to my calorie goal as possible without being way over.

@Katmary71- Thank you for the advice. I will check it out. @ninyagwa- I will give journaling a try. Definitely think I need to be more mindful of what is happening in my head. I saw the doctor and he is double checking my A1C to see if I'm moving closer to being pre-diabetic. I told him about my food obsession and how I'm…

@askewcr- Oh it's horrible to have a nasty cough. I hope they can give you something to help. @Cornanda- I LOVE the plant shirt! @19shmoo69- I'm happy your daughter got herself a dress. Prom is such a fun time and it's always fun to get dressed up with friends. @reshii_devi- Congrats on this weeks loss. My eating habits…

Forgot to do an introduction. I'm a sahm to three boys 5, 7 and 13. I had a serious heath scare in April of 2022 after surgery in which I got sepsis and four areas of infection. I realized I really wanted to live and decided to start putting in the effort to make changes. I got myself a GP and had a physical which I had…

Weigh in day- Saturday Pw- 244.4 CW- 245.6 I'm sorry I missed checking in yesterday. We went to my family's farm for a egg hunt. My boys had a great time with their cousins. I'm continuing PT for my shoulder and neck. Slowly things seem to be improving.

Weigh in day- Saturday PW-246.2 CW- 244.6

Started back at physical therapy on my left shoulder and neck. Working on building strength around my shoulder joint and dealing with nerve pain. It's going slow but I can see some progress being made. Friday we had a birthday party for my son who is turning 13. We invited lots of his friends and his cousins to bowl and…

Weigh in day- Saturday PW- 243.2 CW- 246.2 I don't know why it's such a big jump this week. I did over it but not three pounds worth. I'm guessing it's water weight some what.

@vegan4lyfe2012- Your grand child is beautiful. Congratulations to your family. @morenin- That doctor sounds like an incompetent fool and a jerk. Congrats on the 30 lbs weight loss that is no small feat and shows you are putting in the work. I would be looking for a second opinion to help with your pain because living with…

Finally saw my primary car doctor concerning my left shoulder and neck. She suggested a cervical pillow, an x-ray of my neck and prescribed steroids for inflammation. The steroids have helped significantly and I ordered and received my cervical pillow. I used it last night and had one of my best nights of sleep. I got the…

@Katmary71- The pain in my neck and shoulder started about two years ago. At physical therapy I was told it was from muscle weakness but I've gain strength on my bad side and still have pain that comes an goes. I can go months and it doesn't hurt. But as of late the pain has been happening for two weeks. It starts in the…

@trooworld- I started slow just working at getting 24oz and built up from there. I find it helps me to have a large cup and use water flavoring. I start at only getting 8oz and sometime going all day with no water. I was never a fan of water.

@Katmary71-Thank you for the support. Sometimes I feel like I'm going nowhere because I'm not losing weight like I did at the beginning. Then I remind myself how much stronger I am now. The exercises helped me gain muscle where I was weakest but the pain keeps happening. My husband thinks its a nerve issue.

Weigh in day- Saturday PW- 242.2 CW- 242.6 Still doing my arm and back exercises from PT to help with my shoulder and neck pain. I'm meeting my water goal of 120-130 oz daily. I'm still working on controlling my snacking habits and working on making better choices on what I eat.
