My tickets are all bought. This has turned into a 3 week vacay between visiting family/friends in my old home state. That is where we fly out of for the international flight. I've been busy ending the school year. Finally made it to summer break. Just in time to get out of my boot. But I'm bummed at my lack of weight loss…

Thank you for the advice. Luckily my BFF has been to both many times and has family in both. She's aware of my limitations and herself has some health issues. So she knows all the ins/outs. Even has dual citizenship which will make things easier too. I definitely want to see a Shakespeare play performed at The Globe. I'm…

Today was a big win. A parent gave our department a huge platter of cookies. Really, really good ones, judging from the store they came from. I did not touch a single one! I really was not tempted at all. I was even sitting next to it for a short time and never gave them a second glance!

I went to check my patient portal. My TSH was checked at my physical in January. Normal range, 2.7. Vitamin D , normal 52 (I take vitamin D daily). I'll ask about the others at my mid year checkup.

I see PCP in June, the oncologist in Aug. I've been on Faslodex since Nov. Tried the oral meds but had worse side effects. So 2 shots simultaneously in my backside once a month it is. I see ortho doc on Tuesday to see what's up with the foot. Took a couple of weeks to get appointment. Good info on the connections between…

Yes, a healing boot. I hurt my foot courtesy of our new rescue pup. He is like a toddler and leaves his nylabones strewn near my bed. I put them up, went to sleep, and then stepped on one in the middle of the night because he took a few out again before our son took him to his room for the night. I stepped on one directly…

Thank you my fellow warrior🩷. I have previously lost 100 pounds. I am a little disheartened to be back to square one, but here I stand. That's why I've returned full force. I am going down the path that worked before. Beginning with a food diary to really make me stop and think. Then, this summer, it's back to the pool to…

Got my swim in today. Only 30 min of laps as my arms were still feeling yesterday's training. Rest day tomorrow, then training again Thursday.

B) hi everyone Well, not to be outdone by his older brother, my youngest is now onboard too. Nothing like a little brotherly rivalry. This is gonna be a fun summer, crazy, but fun. Today was my trainer workout. She killed my upper body today. It felt good, but boy it was a killer 30 minutes. I followed this with taking my…

Happy Father's Day to any fathers following this thread. Yesterday it was my swim day. My hubby went to the gym with me. I was able to get an extra 10 minutes to my laps. That got me up to 40 min of laps. That's almost back to where I was prior to knee replacement. My adult son who is also trying to lose weight has dropped…

Happy Friday. I've been keeping busy this summer, so I haven't caught up on reading our blog. So here's my update. My veggie garden is starting to have some baby veggies starting to grow. Three weeks into my Sumner break and I'm down 6. Averaging 2 pounds a week. B) In another week, hubby and I have a road trip vacay. This…

Sort of taking a day off from working out. But sure doesn't feel like it since I'm doing housecleaning. LOL With 3 big pups, I can knit another dog with the amount of hair the vacuum picks up!!

I got my first outdoor swim in today. I much prefer this to indoor pool. I'm one who needs some sun. The Y has a pay for the day. My own gym has an indoor pool, which is okay, but it's dimly lit. So much nicer to be outside.

Saltine- I give my dogs baby carrots a couple of times a week to help them. It's a healthy treat and it helps with keeping the glands from getting blocked.

Happy Tuesday Got in a workout with trainer yesterday. Did my 30 min swim today. So I am off to a good start this week. My trainer has me texting my food diary weekly, so it's helping me stay accountable. Today, I got a free burger from Red Robin (teacher special). They will do it on lettuce as a wedgie burger . Did you…

Haven't posted in a few days. I have been doing 'summer cleaning' and getting my veggie garden up and running. Plus putting up small fence to keep my big dogs out of it. In between, I've started my swims again. Hit the pool 3 times this week to do laps. I love having swim headphones as I swim longer without realizing it…

Twiley- I'm in the Northeast, close to Gatlinburg. I'm a transplant here. So I really do not have a southern comfort foods. But I am loving living in Tennessee.

Twiley- fellow Tennessean here.

Only a few hours left until my summer break begins. I already have workshops scheduled starting next week. Teachers never stop learning :smiley: Starting off my summer break right....have my trainer scheduled for an hour after I get off of work today. Added benefit, my hubby is meeting me there to also workout <3

Went out to lunch and made great choices. Seared ahi over salad greens. What a treat on a school day!! 12 pm tomorrow cannot come soon enough! I begin with the one on one training right after I finish tomorrow. I am SO ready for this!!

Good morning all B) . Thank you for the welcome. Today is our last day and a half day for students....Yay!! Summer break is finally here! But that also means eating lunch out with colleagues (a luxury for a teacher during the school week). A lot of unhealthy choices around us, but I am determined to make good choices for…

Hi all: Tomorrow marks the 2 year anniversary of my new knee. I am rededicating my efforts to myself. I just signed up with a new trainer that is going to hold me accountable to myself. (I think I like her already!) Did my 3D scan, set up my calendar for workouts and nutrition....so here is to day one!!! Backstory: I…

Had a little real life setback that set back my start date. Took my measurements today and am starting Insanity tomorrow....my husband (who actually needs to gain weight) is starting it with me. We are going to do this together. :)

I can't run due to a bum knee, but I have not let it stop me. I did my first 5k in January and am signed up for my 4th and 5th now. I walk them. Many are run/walk deals. So if you can't run it all, walk. The goal..finish without injury. I am going for 13 in '13 :) Good luck...I think you will become addicted like me.

Thanks...yes it was awful went from one to another so it was like 4 weeks in our house. And guys are such HUGE babies when they are sick. I have a speaking engagement tonight. The whole "Go Red' thing took off. I am being asked to be on a committee of a local city to help incorporate healthy lifestyle changes. Something I…

Planning on beginning Insanity on March 18th so I have time to finish working out the modifications I need for my knee and shoulder. And so I don't interfere with my 5k on March 16th. Time to become .... insane :D!!

1- 1 2- 45 3 kanji for tiger 4- no regrets. It was my gift to myself when I reached the 100 lb lost mark :glasses:

Strength doesn't come from what you can do. It comes from overcoming the things you once thought you couldn't ! The difference between who you are and who you want to be is what you do.

Great info...I'm right on track with what I am putting in my Nutri-Bullet :smile: Got those fat killers in there!

I have added joining a group this time to get through this final third of my journey. I like the motivation that being part of a group offers.
