Hi ladies, Sorry I have been MIA. I had a very busy extended weekend. I did over eat but I stayed very active with volleyball with the family. Now to get back on track. Meal prepped again last night. Second week in a row and I feel it helps a lot. Added more protein to my diet too. I was out for 4 days from work...the…

Hello Ladies! I want to thank those that pushed me on the water challenge. I have practically given up caffeine and I am down...4.2 lbs!!!!!! I have not shown that big of a loss is a long time. Now to stick with meal prepping and the lifting. I did not prep today as its only a half day. I keep breakfast food in the frig or…

Looking forward to hearing your stories. @happysherri - day 3 of meal prepping...eating healthier and saving money is always a good thing. I hope you get to go on the…

Hi ladies, Hope everyone had a good weekend. @katadx - I am working on the hunger. Trying to push more water to help fend off the hunger. I hope your grandfather gets better soon. Don't beat yourself up too much on the food. We all slip. Just take it one meal, one bite, one choice at a time. @aleahurst - Hows the oxygen…

Hello lovey ladies, Happy Friday! Hope everyone is doing well! @aleahurst - glad you got to run your toes through the grass before the rains hit. Rain hit here yesterday but we really needed some so I am not complaining and maybe it will rain out my softball game tonight. @happysherri - thanks for all the of encouragement.…

Good Morning everyone! Looks like everyone is doing great. @aleahurst thanks for the prayers and kind words. I believe they are working. I'm up walking around and don't feel very sore or much pain. Going to try to get a short walk in today at lunch and see where we go from there. I have been eating like crap because I…

Hello ladies, I am so far off my mark on exercise and food since I hurt my back. I cant really do much so exercise is out other than light stretching which I was allowed to start today. The meds I am on make me extremely hungry and very moody. So...if I don't eat I am not a nice person. UGH!!!! I do not like this. I do not…

Hello ladies, I know I have been missing in action again and for that I am very sorry. I guess all the activity got the best of me on Friday night as I hurt my back really bad during the softball game. I went to the doc on Saturday. They gave me a steroid shot. Then put me on anti - inflammation pills, another steroid, and…

Hello Ladies, Still here...just hanging in the background. Things are going good with me. I have drank a few soft drinks in the last few days but I feel so much better. @aleahurst - my water intake is not suffering because of it though! Woohoo! The reunion is finally done so I can go back to things being more normal and…

Hello everyone! I feel better today than I have in weeks. I actually played pickleball for 1 1/2 hours last night. I didn't hurt much yesterday so that's a good sign. Maybe I am getting past this crap. I am still doing pretty good on my no caffeine though I did back slide a bit. I tried to drink a cup of coffee...nope! I…

Hello ladies... I'm still here lurking in the background and reading all your posts. I have decided to give up caffeine as I cannot have it with the med I am on. So after a little over a week, just going to go with it. I don't really miss it and it helps with my water intake so....turning it into a beautiful behavior.…

Hello everyone! @aleahurst 98!!!! Woohoo! That's great! Looks like everyone is doing well. My water intake is through the roof right now because I cannot have caffeine. I feel pretty good other than if I eat a meal, my stomach hurts for hours afterward so I am just eating little soft stuff until this passes. I hadn't eaten…

I know my little guy has not moved yet but I have been down and out for a few days. Still gonna hit my number!!!

@aleahurst & @jessiquoi - I'm in on the water intake for June. I definitely need to up mine...10 a day for me. Hello to everyone else too! Looks like everyone is doing good. @nickiphillips1 - congrats on the baggy shorts. Hard work is paying off. You kind of sound like me with all your sports. Very jealous of the swimming.…

Hey ladies, Sorry I have been missing in action. Have been down and out for a couple of days. An old problem has crept back up and causing some problems. Good news...I will be losing weight this week I'm sure. Bad news...won't necessarily be a healthy way to do it. Not really hungry so not really eating. Haven't ate really…

@jessiquoi half day at work...that makes me have a really good day. Love my job but this time is our slow time so makes for long days. Going shopping for new cleats because softball starts tomorrow night. So...my week looks like this currently Tuesday nights - pickleball, Wed - sand volleyball (starts soon) Friday -…

My beautiful behavior for the night!

Well no run tonight but a 30 minute walk and hit every hill I could. Came home and had 16 flights of stairs. lol I knew I hit them hills. Now to refuel with a protein smoothie and just relax a bit. Maybe a little yoga before bed. Have a great night ladies.

@aleahurst - I took a short run at lunch. NOTE to self...it is now hot outside so run in the am or in the pm or run inside! LOL Keep that oxygen over 90%. My mom struggled with her oxygen too so I understand that struggle. Hope you get to get that walk in. Does wonders for the mind and body. Everyone have a great day!

Hello everyone...sorry I have been missing in action the last few days. I was busy with family Friday and most of Saturday. However, Sunday and Monday I was laid up on the couch. I thought it was my ciatic joint again but I really don't know. It no longer hurts but I had no energy and kept sleeping all day and then slept…
