@trooworld The meal your husband prepared sounds really good. The vegetable soup from ATK also sounds good. The .2 weight gain isn’t too bad, especially since you know what caused it. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. It was not as hot as it’s been lately. I think the high was 85. But it’s humid. That’s summer in the South.…

@trooworld I agree, the weight loss surgery was not “the easy way out.” Actually losing weight is hard and requires discipline no matter how it is done: surgery, medication, calorie counting, points, etc. You have worked hard and should tell that to anyone who challenges you. Hi, all. I rode my bike again today. DS and I…

@its_cleo Good job with tracking. I had to laugh at the image of you wearing a sweater and covering up with a blanket because the AC was on. DH and I wear flannel shirts year round. And we have our blankets to cover up, too. The mobility class sounds interesting. I hope it helps. @trooworld That’s terrible that people are…

@trooworld It’s good to take a day off from exercise. That was scary that your dog was barking at a big dog. She probably thought she was protecting you from the dog. Hi, all. It’s really hot here. The high today was 97 or over 100 with the heat index. I ride my recumbent bike. I had a doctor’s appointment to check my…

@trooworld Good job on the gym and only eating half of a grilled cheese sandwich. I seldom eat one when at a restaurant but splurged on one when I was In Yellowstone That was yummy gooey cheese! It definitely wasn’t in the cards for you to eat that chicken! Hi, all. It is really hot here. Luckily DH and I have access to an…

@trooworld That was nice of the woman to give you help. It’s always good to learn new things. The coffee sounds really good and refreshing. Too bad about the sauce on the living room floor. @its_cleo The perogies sound good. I love going to a farmers’ market. I’m glad you enjoyed the game. Good job on limiting takeout. Hi,…

@trooworld Good job with the gym! I hope you enjoy your day. Hi, all. Today is a swim day. DS is cooking dinner tonight. He is grilling salmon and Caesar salad (ATK recipe). The Caesar salad is really good. It’s fairly healthy as he’s using low fat mayonnaise. Our daughter and her husband are eating with us so we’ll have…

@trooworld Good job on the weight loss, especially since you weren’t expecting it. You are really good with exercise. I hope your husband had a good birthday. Hi, all. Today was in the 80’s so not as hot. I walked outside even though it was still too hot for me. Tonight was steak night. I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

@trooworld I know from experience that an iron deficiency can really tire you out. Hopefully with the extra iron you’ll feel better. Too bad about traffic. It’s really good that one meal can last for 3 meals. @its_cleo The bike really helps with knee and hip pain. You’re doing great with your takeout limit. I hope you…

@trooworld That was good that you took a rest day. You have been working really hard. Hopefully you will soon feel the results of better sleep. Your weather sounds perfect. We are starting to get weather in the 90’s. Hi, all. DH and I had errands this morning so I rode my recumbent bike after lunch. It’s too hot to do…

@trooworld Good job on the gym. The cheesesteak baked potato sounded good. @its_cleo I’m sorry the specialist wasn’t very helpful. I know you don’t want surgery. Actually I tried the injections many years ago and didn’t see much difference. What helps me is exercise, the PT exercises, medication, riding my recumbent bike,…

@its_cleo I love my Peloton app. There’s so much to do and I never get bored. I can understand that you get tired of tracking. You didn’t do too bad and one indulgent meal won’t break you. Good job on limiting take out. @trooworld Good job on not eating food at the fair. Too bad take out wasn’t good. I’m sorry you didn’t…

@trooworld Good job on the gym. I’m glad the baby shower was fun. Not eating dinner showed restraint. I hope the fair was fun. Hi, all. I decided to ride my bike today as it was hot and humid outside. Plus buggy from all the rain we have had. My bike workout was fun as I use the Peloton app. Since today is Father’s Day, we…

@trooworld The shrimp recipe sounds good. Good job with the gym. Too bad about the baby shower. Hi, all. I’m lazy this morning and am still finishing my coffee. I put a pork butt with apple cider vinegar, salt and red pepper flakes in the slow cooker for Eastern NC barbecue. DS is making coleslaw and we’re also having…

@trooworld That’s good news and good advice from the surgeon. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. Dinner was air fried tofu, sticky rice, edamame and salad. We didn’t have our usual steak dinner as we are eating heavy this weekend.

@trooworld Good job on the walk even though the dog resisted. LOL on how she preferred your DH’s snacks. That’s interesting about the amount of food you have been eating. The most important part is that you are losing weight. Hi, all. It’s hot here but still not very humid. I was able to walk this morning and sit under the…

@trooworld I’m sorry you didn’t feel well but glad you felt better. Good job with the exercise. @theslightedgeforever I’m like Goldilocks, too. There’s a lot of stuff we know about that the kids today don’t get. I have dry eyes, too, and have cataracts. cataracts. Probably it’ll be soon for surgery. I don’t dread it as DH…

@trooworld The recipe I tried had spinach, tomatoes and cheese. Good idea to do something light so you won’t be sore. Hi, all. It was cloudy and breezy this morning so I went for a walk. My cousin came over and brought me some zucchini from her garden. My son prepared pesto pasta, using the basil we have plus grilled some…

@trooworld That transformation is amazing! I know you are happy with your progress. If you check the ATK recipe for the lavash pizza, don’t get put off by the calorie count. I used the low calorie lavash bread and tracked the ingredients in the recipe builder. I may have used low fat mozzarella even though the fontina…

@trooworld The lavash recipe sounds good. I used to make a lavash pizza from ATK that was good. The lavash wraps sound good, too. @theslightedgeforever I’m sorry you hurt your back. Good job on tracking. Hi, all. I went walking this morning and when I finished I was really hot. We are having the temperatures I dreamed…

@trooworld That’s too bad about your headache. That was a good idea to stop the exercise and get on the recumbent bike. @its_cleo That sucks that you had to go to all that trouble to get your CD. I hope the appointment will give you some answers. It’s been my experience that the medical field is so slow. Hi, all. I got a…

@trooworld I’m so sorry about your friend. Good job on the exercise. Hi, all. I’m home now. We were supposed to leave Atlanta at 11:30 PM but didn’t leave until after 1 or 2 AM due to mechanical problems. We ended up getting on another plane. I was worried we would have to spend the night. So I’m not doing much today and…

@trooworld I know what you mean about slogging through work. I remember that. LOL! I’m glad traffic was light. Good idea to wait to take the creatine. I’ll read the article later. That sounds interesting. Hi, all. I’m waiting to board the plane to return home. I had a great vacation!

@trooworld You’re doing really well with your exercise routine. I think it’s a good idea to ask your surgeon if you can take creatinine. Hi, all. I have had another good day. I walked so much this morning that I got an award from my Apple Watch for my longest walk. I have over 12,000 steps and my walk was 105 minutes. We…

@trooworld I’m glad you had a good day with your friend and also talked to another friend. Good luck with the supplement you want to take. I hope it gives you the results you want. Good job on the water and limiting snacks. @its_cleo Too bad about the weight gain. It’s frustrating when you know you are doing the best you…

@mh7816 In the US it’s spring and warmer weather but different areas are colder or warmer than others. I’m in the Midwest where temperatures are mild during the day and colder at night. I wouldn’t worry about a birthday gain because you can get back to normal eating and lose the weight. @trooworld It’s interesting that you…

@trooworld That was an awesome workout. It’s good that you got your library work done. @its_cleo Nothing is wrong with scaling back if you’re hurting. Hi, all. I’m in Montana now. We go to Yellowstone tomorrow. We’re staying at a hotel near the park. Everything went well with our flight. No delays. I’m going to bed early…

@its_cleo Good job on the weight loss and exercise. That’s good that you can walk more without pain. Those are good goals to have. I love my air fryer. @trooworld Those caffeine headaches are the worst! I know you are glad that test is over. Your husband is supportive to join the gym with you. Too bad that you have to work…

@trooworld I’m glad you’re feeling better. That was a good idea to eat a snack. Good job on the weight loss. I hope the test goes well. I hate to have to fast for any test that requires it. Hi, all. Today was a swim day. I made a succotash salad from the ATK app for dinner. I have some shrimp that I’m going to pan fry.

@trooworld I think it’s a good idea to ignore hunger unless you are really hungry. I try to find something to distract me if I know I have eaten recently. It’s too bad are coming down with a cold. Hopefully you’ll recover soon. Hi, all. It was warmer today with no rain so I went for a walk. I went grocery shopping. I went…
