SW: 217 LW: 183 CW: 185 Gained 2 -

Thread killer. :-1: Lately when I log in, I see my name as the last to post several days prior. I am sorry my situation seems to have caused a damper on the group. I am proud of us and hope we will all keep pushing toward our goals, regardless of whatever circumstances we are facing. Thank you for hanging in there!

Finally - today - the insurance was approved and I can have the MRI and needle biopsy. Waiting for a call for the appointment. Also, I have an appointment for lab work with a D.O. tomorrow. This particular doctor and his family are very interested in health for the whole person, not just writing prescriptions. I am looking…

Update on goal 1 - Now 2 pounds closer - only 4 pounds until I hit this first goal. Sometimes it is the daily increments that keep me moving in the right direction. :smile:

SW: 217 LW: 185 CW: 183 So glad I moved the scales this week! I was beginning to wonder if I was stuck at 185.

Wagged

Exercised 3 times in the last 4 days (I skip Sundays). This is good. My pity party is over - I have declared it! :wink:

Sorry, I meant to post and just never logged in yesterday. Skin punch biopsy was negative. :smile: They will do an MRI to determine the correct spot to do a needle biopsy. That may happen next week. There is something happening in my body - just not sure what yet. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers!

I wagged 8/9/16 - 1 hour of water aerobics Wagged 8/10/16 - 1 hour of lawn mowing with a push mower.

No exercise today, but I logged all foods. I have to factor school into my schedule now and figuring out when to put water aerobics. No biopsy results today, but I am hopeful for tomorrow.

Today we took our grandson to his first day of Pre-K. He LOVED it! I cannot express the relief this was to us and again, we are thanking God for the many blessings He has brought our way. We are weak, ineffective, and humbled that we have been given everything we need to meet this little one's needs for this time in his…

I started exercising and logging again today.

Thank you, ladies. I had a biopsy yesterday and will have results next week. Will also likely have an MRI next week regardless of biopsy results. Until then, I am living every moment I draw breath to the best of my ability.

I like the target idea. Goal 1) 6 pounds and I will be back at the weight I was 3 years ago Goal 2) 11 more pounds and I will be 35-40 pounds from goal range! Goal 3) 10 more pounds and I will be at my post-divorce weight without the stress! Stopping here and as I check off a goal, I will add a goal. :smile:

SW 217 LW 185 CW 185 No loss, no gain. I am back to exercising and logging starting today.

I am sorry to hear of your loss. You will be in my prayers.

Well, I have been on a pity party for a few weeks. I don't recall where I was 13 weeks ago, but today I weigh 185. Not happy that I stopped losing weight and I know that is because I stopped exercising a few weeks ago and was eating comfort foods. No matter what, I owe it to myself to get back on track. Today, I logged my…

WAGGED!!!!!! Its been so long and I am proud of myself. :smile:

Update: I had a clinic visit today that revealed a one large and one small lump with no palpable lymph activity and no necrosis. With the size of the large lump without necrosis, she was encouraged and believes this will be benign. I will have a diagnostic mammogram and ultrasound on August 1. It would be sooner, but I am…

I was able to keep up with my kids and grandkids through the three-day weekend and all the kiddos at Vacation Bible School this week. Two days to go and I have a week to prepare for a weekend event and church camp. That will conclude my scheduled activities for the summer, then I can work on other projects. :-)

My 31-year old son challenged me yesterday. Not to a specific task, but to not limit myself. Today I mowed half the yard with a push mower (riding mower is broken) - two 90 minute sessions as fast as I could go and not choke down the mower motor. I have about the same amount to mow tomorrow. My son, hubby, and I mowed the…

Logged. It was pretty until after 7 PM.

I like the challenges. If a particular challenge you post doesn't fit a person's abilities (like pushups for me), we could post our modified version of that as completed. For me, instead of pushups, I would do a pushup on a high counter.

Getting it logged today. Breakfast was awesome.

Wagged this morning. First time in 8 days.

SW: 217 LW: 185 CW: 185 No loss, no gain. Not happy, but not sad. Just glad there was no gain.

Logged - much better today! Whew.

Except grocery shopping, I have been so lazy today. Tomorrow I have a LOT to get done and also plan to walk at least 3 miles.
