ChitownGrlGinny- awesome that your able to take the leap. All the advice @FreyjaPact gave you is spot on. I have only recently started using Chat gpt for similar things she suggested and its AMAZING. Sure makes things easy.. Figure out you macros and then focus on Protein, electrolytes, hydration.. It will be hard to hit…

@MercyRoth - Congrats on breaking that plateau..crazy how our bodies just want to do their own thing in spite of our best efforts.. When I finally tracked calories again and dropped it by 100, mine broke .. It seems like I stall for a while… then have a 3-4 lb drop , then stall again.. I envy those that can consistently…

Busy weekend but good. Got my flower pots done for the back porch. I only did two this year , trying to keep things simple. I do need to go get some herbs for my herb garden but we will see. I am not motivated about that currently because the last two years they just didn't do well. I may just put a couple of strawberry…

Got on the treadmill early yesterday morning to ensure I got something done. Got through the walmart shopping adventure with mom but I was sure exhausted after. Its a PROCESS.. I know I probably sound snotty complaining about my mom this way. I love her dearly but she is so fussy and difficult about making certain choices…

I did end up doing a 30 minute weighted vest session on the treadmill early yesterday morning to ensure I got something done. I also survived the shopping adventure with mom but I was sure exhausted after. Boy that is a process. It took us 3 hours in the store to get all the things and even then we still didn't find…

@more_freggies76 - Sounds like fun way to spend a few days. I always get stressed when getting ready to go on a trip because it is a ton of work to prepare when taking dogs and leaving behind the care of other animals to others. I understand the trepidation of leaving things in someone else's hands. We have farmsitters…

@MercyRoth - your welcome. Alot of people don't realize all the additional benefits that the meds are giving people. And depending on your doctor they may or may not be up on the latest research so many are against them . So definitely do your own research. Redditt is a great source of info (but also has some crazy stuff…

I am feeling quite a bit better this morning .I got some walking in yesterday, about 12K steps as I was able to do both my treadmill for 25 minutes and then took a walk up to my parents after work which is about 3/4 of a mile away . I woke up feeling way less sore today. Thank goodness. I didnt eat well yesterday, didn't…

Going to have to do a recap . yesterday was so busy.. I got my workout in early and I might have over done it.. I felt really good so ended up doing an interval workout first on the treadmill and then did my upper body strength day .. which was also a "move up in weights" day.. I am now able to use 25 lb dumbbells for…

Yesterday was jam packed with things to get done but then I don't feel like I got much of anything accomplished- ever have those days? Got my workout in and ended up doing intervals and strength training - I had really good energy so I figured why not .. by the end of my upper body workout though, I was dead.. shaky arms…

thank you @beachwalker99 - its a bit of a relief and very glad he didn't choose to continue with the original doctor.

@yirara - thanks, They really are an investment. I have 10, 12, 15, 20 and 25 lb dumb bell sets currently and a few kettle balls , a bench, (not with a rack) some miscellaneous bands and a home gym system ( old ) with weight plates so I can do rows , chest presses, lateral pulls down , etc. but I feel like maybe the…

Hi- can anyone here share a recommendation for a 4 ft barbell for a smaller home gym set up ? I have looked at a few but honestly in analysis paralysis over the options. I also have a limited budget ideally ,nothing over $100 , max of $150 . I have been using dumbells for a while now but its time to add a bar and plates..…

Just a little update on my dad. He got his second opinion and its not as bad as the first doctor thought. He needs to see an interventional cardiologist for one more test but its been a relief to know he doesn't need open heart surgery.
