afternoon team....I'm still waiting for spring to arrive....then May can happen? oh Mother....Nature!! it has been so yucky here lately, I'd rather have a foot of snow!! From shoveling to mowing right? :bigsmile: went locally for brunch this am with inlaws. Lots to get done here before I depart this nest Thurs @ 10:30am.…

therapy went good. I only have to go once a week now!! yippy! also saw surgeon. he had me do a few moves, and I could do them, but really lacking strength, which is normal he said. We talked about the pain I was having a few weeks ago. I told him what the therapist said, and he agreed it could be nerve related. Seems to be…

excitement building and definitely keeping me positive! busy day here...on to the city soon. have a good one ladies..I'll check back later :flowerforyou:

evenin! just had my last 'leftover' meal and sugar cookie. I ate A LOT of food today. today is 2 mos since I had surgery. a month from now and our school district will be out for the summer. still focused at getting back on track.. dh helped me take measurements this am. maybe I'll get some pictures too. have therapy…

Happy Easter everyone! Well yesterday was a good day! I walked on my treadmill, and speeds varied between 3-4 mph. Definitely cannot swing my arms like I usually do, but that will improve. I then wanted to do my Denise Austin non-aerobic stretch and tone workout (VHS tape). This is dated 1988, I probably purchased it…

morning team. :flowerforyou: a pretty good nite sleeping. well, I had one of those moments...tired of wrestling with my weight, feeling buried in fat, not being the person I know I can be. The only way I will succeed is committing every day to make the right choices, at least better ones than I have lately. I know I don't…

will be an early nite for me. think I slept maybe 3 hrs.:yawn: wide awake...maybe gettin' my body ready for Vegas? :drinker: I am not a pop, coffee, chocolate...caffeine eater or drinker. on my way home from taking ds to concert, I stopped to get a diet peach Snapple green tea/black tea. enjoyed it definitely... but, I…

therapy went well. I go again on Monday, plus I see the surgeon. she said I might be able to cut back to once a week~~ yay! she gave me 3 more exercises to do at home, and it sounds like that is *all* of them... now I just continue doing them all and gradually increase weights. she said I am doing really well!! ds went…

weird things happening to my body in the past few days...a tender spot, almost feels lumpy, under my chin, where it meets neck (kinda under the tongue and between lymph nodes). not in my throat, more exterior. thinking I might be snoring.... last Friday, I woke during the nite with pain and swelling just above my L wrist…

hi all...gonna get more active today and do some walking and stretching. try to do better with food and water. might have to pick up son from college and if i do then i will get groceries for Easter and he wants to upgrade his cell phone, part of his bday gift. i think parenting is the most challenging experience i've had…

evenin' dear friends...we finally had some decent precip..rain/hail/sleet/snow. still been chilly tho, in the 30's today. extreme weather i'll say. it's getting greener! gave my puggers a bath today...went pretty well, took longer than usual and had to modify, but i feel better it's done and... they smell better!…

afternoon gang..took lily to vet to have her eye checked. doing good. still using drops. she is going back in a few weeks to have blood work (thyroid and heartworm) and her teeth cleaned. need a 2nd job to pay for pet bills, geeez. i am very happy with this new vet tho. leaving soon to pick up my youngest son at college…

good weekend to you ladies:flowerforyou: up this week (surely fluid) and not surprised as i only logged food 2 days and ate out twice:frown: 187.6. yesterday was my youngest son's 19th bday, so dh and i took him to the local steakhouse for supper. i had a yummy shrimp kabob, baked potato and small salad. came home and had…

hello ladies....ended up going to the city yesterday w/my mom. not a good idea since i was not feeling well. i was dragging butt the whole time, groaning and moaning. finally, after taking some meds, laying on the couch for a bit, icing my neck, a massage from dh, and a hot bath, my headache seem to lighten. had a better…

mornin'. not feeling so well today. up off and on during the nite. constant head ache. just took b/p and it is up some. suppose it is the pain meds, as this happened last time. arm does feel better, but this sling makes me hot. i just wanna be back to where i was. sending prayers and strength to ya barb hugs:heart:…

sounds like a 'monday' barb...i do like scrambled eggs...good source of protein! hope you act out on that calgon moment... yesterday after therapy i pulled into the mcd drive thru...gonna have me a filet o fish, med fry, regular hamburger, & a coke. wanna see something nasty, look that up for nutritional values. gal taking…

hey all...sorry i have not posted the past week. my mom was in the hospital last week for a few days and she is better and home now. i have a had a set back with my shoulder recovery. having some pain, possibly nerve related, and hopefully not a pinched nerve. per dr am to rest, take it easy, and on pain meds again. so,…

evenin'...well, therapy wasn't too bad. she is doing passive therapy which is her doing all of it. i really think she knows more than my dr. she thinks my nerves are just 'unhappy' right now and it could be from any of the exercises i was doing at home or with her. i still have pretty good rom. it frustrates me to be back…

hey all..yesterday was not good, but today has been better. the numbness and tingling is better since around noon and the pain doesn't seem as horrible. eating could be better and i need to increase my fiber cuz the dang tramadol constipates me. hope you're all having a good weekend. little humid and warm here...near 76*

could be better could be worse...surgeon thinks i may have a pinched nerve c6 or c7...which is what i had in 1988. it was cured by massage therapy, visiting the chiro, ice, and no work. well, since i am 6 wks post surgery, chiro is not an option. i am to rest as much as possible, use ice, and wear my sling unless i am…

my last couple days have not been well....i woke during the nite, early wed am with something very wrong with my shoulder. feels very much like the nerve pain i had post surgery those first few weeks. still don't know if i turned during my sleep, raised my arm, moved my arm too far away from my body...but i was in…

gettin ready to go to the hospital. mom is in for another nite. will check back later.

did a mile twice today. in the wind again....love that challenge! good job everyone!! keep it up!:flowerforyou:

evenin' team...mom is in the hospital another nite. her oxygen level has been below 90% and once it raises she will likely come home. her sugar upon arriving was near 400 and has gradually come down to 88! think she has been on liquid or soft diet. they are still giving her breathing treatments with a nebulizer and i don't…

dog sitting today...dad took my mom to the ER...hope to hear something soon. didn't get a walk yesterday, but cleaned for a good 5 hours, as well as i could. got back a little bit ago from walking the dog, she is wiped out! felt pretty good so i did an extra mile. yesterday was good til supper time. we orderd pizza and i…

hope everyone is having a good weekend! we are dog sitting today, and feeling pretty good so i took her for a walk and added another mile! not my normal speed, but that's ok..i got er done! now time to do shoulder exercises. :flowerforyou:

hey all...i decided to include the weigh in since it was the after the last day of March. Congrats Erica!! sure enjoyed the chinese buffet.....i did indeed indulge, and well aware of high calorie count consumed, too much sugar, salt....but this happens maybe every 1 1/2 - 2 mos. likely not favorites in 'moderation'...and…

well ladies...it's a new month. i'm gonna try harder to be healthier....one day at a time. have some mini wt goals and i wanna feel comfortable in my shorts. getting back to walking will help, in so many ways. i was 185 this am, so that is a loss of 4 lbs. have logged pretty well this past week and increased my water.…

yay friday! get to start walking again. will begin slowly, and for a while i will try 1 mile, twice a day. today is my normal weigh day and so i start challenges on this day as well. my waist was 37.75" this am. happy day everyone! enjoy your walking!:flowerforyou:
