2/20 Exercise: Yes, 55 minutes strength training and 15 minutes hip PT Calories: Yes, about 300 under. I don't generally eat my exercise calories back except for on the weekend............LOL Tracked: Yes Still have one pass day left. We're having dinner at some friends' house on Sunday so not sure I'll make it through…

2/19 Checking in late for yesterday but I managed to get it done. MFP was giving me lots of trouble logging so I ended up logging after the fact rather than pre-logging everything yesterday. It ended up being okay though. Exercise: Yes, about 75 minutes at the gym doing hip PT and strength training Calories: Yes, came in…

2/18 Exercise: Yes, walked with my girl Penny Land for about 40 minutes Calories: Under by almost 400 because I'm trying to make up for a bit of overindulgence over the weekend Tracked: Yes One foot in front of the other................everyday!

Hi everyone.............back from our Valentine's getaway and none the worse for wear. I doubt I overate since we really only ate 2 meals a day and did a lot of beach walking, but I hate trying to log food when I'm away and eating out. Soooooooooooooo, I took 2/3 pass days for Sat and Sun and am back at it today. 2/17…

Enjoyed a nice Valentine's Dinner with hubby here at home so I was able to control the calories and we skipped dessert. Today and tomorrow will be planned pass days for me as we're going out of town and I have no clue what we're eating or where. I'll be back at it Monday. I've been to PT twice this week (having Epley…

@RangerRickL, I completely understand the dictates of our body deciding what kind of exercise we can do. I think as long as we keep doing "something" we're ahead of the game. I'm normally a sweaty workout gal but lately because of a complicated hip and vertigo I've kind of had to adjust my time and effort working out. This…
-
I had a PT appointment this morning to try to knock these little inner ear crystals back into the right place. I have the most common type of vertigo, called BPPV, and it shouldn't be a big deal but being dizzy off and on all day kind of wears you down over time. I think the physical therapist finally did what I couldn't…
-
I had a pretty good morning because I woke up "not dizzy"............lol so I headed to the gym. I couldn't do anything laying down or on the floor but managed to get a nice strength training workout in by using both free weights and machines either sitting or standing up. Exercise: Yes, 60 minutes of strength training…
-
Sooooo, fighting vertigo again but managed, in between dizzy spells, to work on Hip PT and a bit of strength training for 30 minutes. I'm getting pretty frustrated because I've had to cut way back on calories to maintain my weight loss and there are actually times when I wake up during the night and I'm…

@RangerRickL, you might be interested to know that we live in a little town in So Cal actually called "Horse Town USA". We don't own horses but most of our neighbors do and we're surrounded by horse trails rather than side walks. Most of the properties are minimum of 1/2 acre and many with more acreage and several large…

@SuziQ113, I really admire what you're doing. Where is this? I've done a lot of charity work but never knew this was even a thing..............I'd love to know more! Still struggling here with vertigo and tummy issues..............can't tell if they're related or separate issues..............LOL I have an appointment at PT…
-
Hmmm, we make a brew here of half caffeine and half decaf and I generally add a bit of whole milk or coffee mate but no sugar. Otherwise I like herbal tea with a tiny bit of honey or just water. 2/07 Exercise: Still feeling a little under the weather but got a 30 min workout in here at home, half hip PT and half strength…
-
2/06 Feeling better this afternoon and managed to put in some time on hip PT and made a pot of soup for dinner. Calories are lower than normal but I think I'm still in the running for the Winner's Circle Exercise: Yes, 15 minutes hip Pt and another 10 strength training at home including, squats, RDL's and step ups…
-
2/05 I managed to pull it off yesterday although came in low on calories after feeling a bit nauseous after lunch. Still not feeling quite right this morning so not sure I'll log today and may take a pass day............I'll decide later.............LOL Exercise: Yes, 45 minutes strength training and 15 minutes hip PT at…

@saltypickle, my reward for a job well done is ALWAYS new gym clothes!

@craigo3154, hopefully both you and your daughter will respond well to both medication and therapy. I have one daughter who suffers from depression/anxiety and the other who suffered terribly from post postpartum depression 2 years ago. One day at a time buddy! 2/04 Exercise: Yes, spent about 60 minutes at the gym this…
-
2/3 I had a decent day and a Dr appointment with a specialist for the vertigo I've been battling. It's actually been gone for about 10 days but I went to the appointment anyway to see what I could learn. As expected I have the most common form of vertigo called BPPV. They don't know why it happens but they do know what…
-
2/2 Exercise: Yes Hip PT and a few weights at home for about 35 minutes Calories: Yes even though it was a Super Bowl day here I tried to stick to low calorie snacks but a nice dinner. Tracked: Yes, pre-logged it all and stuck to it!
-
Congrats again to all the winners! I haven't been here very long but I can already tell what a great accomplishment it is. I went shopping very carefully for snacks today ahead of tomorrow's game. No lunch tomorrow, just light snacks and dinner so hopefully I'll come in under on the 2nd day of the month......if not, I'll…
-
Congrats to all the big winners! It's nice to see so many of you in the Winner's Circle! Good luck to all of us in February! 1/31 Exercise: Yes, now that my vertigo is gone again I'm getting more exercise in rather than doing hip therapy in 5 min increments..........lol Today was 70 minutes of strength training and hip PT…
-
Congrats to everyone on the cusp of the Winner's Circle...........awesome work and dedication. I hope to be there next month again! 1/30 Exercise: Yes, I'm feeling so much better and made it to the gym two days in a row........75 minutes of a leg workout including a 20 minute warmup. Tomorrow I'm going back for day #3 this…
-
This will be my third month and I'm really looking forward to spending time with the great people here. I made the Winner's Circle in December but missed it by a day this month. I'm already planning on being there at the end of February. Good luck, and even if you can't make it to the Winner's Circle in the end, keep…
-
Good luck to everyone finishing up the month to be in the Winner's Circle, I missed it this month but I'm already planning next month! Good luck to @Bill70sStrong and hoping for a speedy recovery! 1/29 Exercise: yes, a little over 65 minutes at the gym doing a workout the gym designed for me, mostly biceps, chest and…
-
@Impala007, that's the way to get it done. It's so interesting how this group kind of forces us to do things we might not do otherwise! Nice work!
-
@Bill70sStrong, good luck with the surgery and sitting around after! ;) I've missed the winner's circle this month by one day but I'm sill going strong. My vertigo is a thing of the past (90% sure that's true), my hip is still a little shaky some days but mostly fine, and I'm back to my normal workout routine. 1/28…
-
@RangerRickL, I missed the winner's circle by one day this month but enjoyed being in the group and I'm looking forward to a great February! Traveling and eating all the foods in San Francisco knocked me out of the running but I sure enjoyed myself and didn't gain weight so it wasn't a total bust..........haha
-
@JTreasures I might have counted the "airport walking" if I also tried to log food today. The weekend and today were really a bust for me but I'm not that worried about it and will get back to my normal food and workout routine tomorrow.
-
@RangerRickL, just read about that great anniversary number. You get a big congrats from me. Hubby and I are working our way up to 42 years in May so I totally get it! Love that your wife chose a hike for the DAY!
-
Sooooo, I had a great time in San Francisco with my daughter and her husband. Wine tasting, an ice cream tour (OMG), lots of walking, lots of games and luckily I came home weighing the same as I did when I left on Friday. I'm pretty sure I kept things in check but since I didn't really do any dedicated exercise or track my…
-
I made it to San Francisco without using a pass day. Today and tomorrow will be pass days though so that will be 3 total for me by Monday when I get home. 1/24 Exercise: Yes, 40 minutes between hip PT and strength training Calories: yes easily under by pre-logging and knowing where we were having dinner Tracking: yes, even…
