Wednesday wish - when I pick a lane at the pool and start doing laps that people would recognize that and stay out of my lane. @susan2396 - That's good advice. How many pieces of home gym end up piled with crap? I'm guessing a lot. Trying to do it solo is such a fast way to fail.

I've had this summer cold that's been going around. It has me completely off my game. Sniffling, sneezing, so I can't breathe when I'm trying to walk or swim. It's been weeks and I am ready to be over it. I don't know which one of you gave it to me but I don't wan't it any more!! It was either kah68 or skinnyjeanz, they…

I bought shirts at a regular department store, not the big and tall place I'm used to. First time since the late 90s.

4/27/2015 VSG Looks like heathergshea and I share a date.

Monday check in... I hit the hundred pounds lost mark last Thursday but when I stepped on the scale today I was up 6 pounds. Oh well, my co-workers will have to wait for their donuts. I had a NSV over the weekend. We went to Kohl's department store looking for neon green socks for my soon to be 3 year old nephew. I glanced…

Monday check-in: the scale hit 356 today, that's 95 pounds down from my highest weight. I figure when I hit 100 I'll bring donuts in for my co-workers, if I make them fatter it'll make me look even skinnier. (Insert evil chuckle). Kah68 - those pictures look awesome. My wife announced to me recently that we are going to…

I've been away for a good while but I was just cruising this thread and I remember now why I like it so much. Friday fitness - I have been walking a mile with the greyhound every day. I have been swimming 3 days a week. I have also been trying to convince the wife to go 'swimming' a couple times a week - it's an activity,…

My greyhound sez "Kibble for the bowl, cookies for the soul." He's so poetic when it comes to dog treats.

I think I need some advice completely unrelated to weight loss. My sister-in-law recently asked my brudder for a divorce, they are currently still sharing a house but they(she) plan to separate after the holidays. So my question is this, do I still give her the Christmas gift I made for her or can I be the vindictive jerk…

In case you were wondering, when you sneeze into your c-pap machine it's really gross and it needs to be cleaned. Tuesday goals - get over this sinus issue. Start/Finish Christmas shopping. Water, water, water. Karen - I hope you're knee recovery is quick. aug

Thank you all for your support. In case it isn't obvious from my last post I'm having a bad case of the blues. I think it is a side effect of having blood drawn for the thousandth time, or surgery, or the mountain of pills I take these days. That's what makes this the most bestest group on MFP. Despite my penchant for…

"In 2011 I quit smoking and hit my highest weight ever. I also started getting serious about my health. February 6 2012 I had double bypass surgery. I also was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea. Then just for fun I had carpal tunnel surgery. I'm also getting my other wrist done on December 19th (2012). My health is a…

bump

I want to thank everyone for the well wishes. My surgery went very well. The pain is no worse than what the carpal tunnel was causing so I'm doing alright. Morgori - I made 4 or 5 runs at quitting before it stuck. Them coffin nails is mean to quit. My last try I weaned down by only only carrying one days ration, and then…

Tuesday goals - get out of this funk I'm in. I'm depressed, I don't want to be.

Monday check-in - I'm here. Went to get on the scale, dead battery. Some days you're the windshield, other days you're the bug. Buzz dangit buzz. aug

@Robin, kah68, and MyM0wM0w - I apologize, I forgot to mention that the first surgery is scheduled for October 15. Part of this elevation in pain deal is that I stopped (surgeons orders) taking otc pain relievers and vitamins. I did the cortisone shots last year and they worked for a while but Doc doesn't wan't to dope me…

Thursday truth - this carpal tunnel thing is out of control. I'm in constant pain. So much pain that I'm unable to sleep. The doctor prescribed vicodan to help with the pain and let me sleep. I hate how it makes me feel and I still can't sleep. It's bloody hard to work on reducing when I'm this miserable. Sorry for the…

Tuesday goals - Read more posts. aug

NEW TRUCK! NEW TRUCK! NEW TRUCK! JOY! :happy:

Wednesday wish - a little relief from this carpal tunnel would be very nice. Surgery can't happen soon enough. @Robin - a little belated but - way to go on the medical test! Been busier than a one toofed man in a corn on the cob eating contest, way behind on my post reading. Try to catch up later tonight if I can get some…

Thursday truth - I wanted to quit during my workout this morning. I was on the evilliptical device, looked at the timer, all I could think then was nobody would know if I just quit, ten more minutes of this seems like an eternity. I didn't quit. @QBMontana - we've all told some whoppers about food, I know that I really…

@Susan - nahnahnah-can'thearyou-nahnahnahnah :) I always thought that was a funny line, someone says, "You know what I want/wish/would like?" I answer super fast, "A huge McNugget." In reality, if McDs was my only choice for real junk food I wouldn't be fat, cuz Ronald can't cook for s***. aug

@Christine - I hope you feel better. Diverticulitis sucks, my MIL has it and when it flairs up LOOK OUT! And nothing worse than having one stuck in there. @Janak - Thanks for posting about that metabolism type thing. I'm going to read up on that. If I understand it correctly then I'm a balanced oxidizer. Interesting.…

Tuesday goals - I need to get back on track this week. More than just dieting stuff. I have been cheating lately on the reduction front, not over eating or binges but bad choices, junk choices. My housework is getting away from me, the yard work too. Workouts are also suffering. I stayed up late last night cleaning the…

Monday check in - Is it time to go home yet? aug

@Robin - Thanks for the support. I guess I do whine a lot about my SO. I'd probably whine a little less if she'd pick up after herself. @Skinnyjeanz - yard work is hard work. 2 hours of mowing is far more tiring than a hard workout out to me. aug

@Robin - Sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You have my prayers. Saturday success - I got a new truck. Pick it up next weekend. :happy: Funny enough it's the exact same truck with about 200,000 fewer miles. Same year but a different color. The old girl has been such a good truck it's almost a shame to retire her but the…

I saw this topic and had to break out the tape just to know. 8.5". On the scale for men when I entered 8.5" it asked, "Is this a human wrist?"

@mnwalkingqueen - I feel for you on the lazy SO front. My better half used to harbor tons of resentments about the division of household responsibilities. She wouldn't say anything for weeks even months then explode and send me out couch surfing. The reality was/is that I do all the shopping, cooking, yard work, maintain…
