8/6 Logged, but red 6/10 Took my dog for a walk today, which was huge! I'm out of the boot now. Still a little discomfort, but no pain and it's discomfort from the surgery and not the pain I had , so yea!! Getting better

8/3 3/10 days logged and another green one! @MelissaPhippsFeagins , that's awesome!! At the last gym I went to I actually had a guy get mad bc I wouldn't use the weights he was using for biceps curls. He kept trying to hand me the bar and I kept saying no thanks. I was lifting 2x his wt! Love it!

8/2 2/10 Green too! Maybe just a few more days in my walking boot. Made it through the the grocery store relatively pain free w/o it! @Laughter_Girl a class, a few sessions with a trainer or a friend make a big difference! My friend and I lift together and it has made me so much more comfortable! I knew what to do but got…

1/10! On my way! It's greenish too. Green, or chevy. I don't get too exact. But I finished up a day. Also started working out again this past weekend... I can lift again. Yea! Feels awesome.

@Laughter_Girl congrats on making your workout goal!! Woohoo!! :)

Guess who got rid of crutches today? Woohoo! Had my first follow-up this morning. They said I'm doing great. I'm wearing one of those walking boots for a few days to get used to weight bearing, but I'm allowed to transition to a real shoe whenever it feels okay. I'm also allowed to walk, workout, swim, shower etc. Just no…

Howdy! Yes, I disappeared! Hope everyone is doing great! I'm still on crutches. Go back on Monday so I'm hoping get to be off those and able to do a little more. I haven't worked out in 2 weeks, and my food choices have been less than stellar! My husband has been helping by grocery shopping and "cooking" which means my…

@Laughter_Girl good for you!!! It's interesting what happens when we really pay attention to our bodies. Sometimes I find myself eating just because it's time to eat, or there's X in the house and I want some before the kids inhale it. I've been trying to really think about it too. Eat because I'm hungry, not because my…

@MelissaPhippsFeagins, everything is going well. No pain. I just hate being off my feet and having to ask for help w stuff. Not my style. But, I know I need to let things heal. Still, driving me crazy not to be able to do more. My hubby and kids are at the grocery store now so I'm expecting a weeks worth of ice cream…

Today was surgery day. I'm doing well so far! Amazing, the procedure only took 12 minutes! My hair appts take longer! Lol!!! Right now my foot is totally numb so no pain. I'm on crutches and it's wrapped up til the 25th. I may not need the boot after that either. That would be awesome!!! Bonus, I can't carry food w the…

Yea, I'm just not feeling the calorie tracking thing at the moment. Blah. Tomorrow is foot surgery day! I went for a short walk/jog last night. It hurt but I figured I'd get my money's worth! Since I'll be inactive for a bit I may get back on the tracking train then. At least it's summer and my diet is pretty much 80%…

Sounds like yesterday was good @Laughter_Girl! Are you cleared yet for a return to lifting and talking? Vacation was good, but every single year, I walk back into a terrible time at work. I can't keep it up. I've decided to start looking for a new job. Not something I really want to do but I think I need to. The stress…
-
Hello ladies! I'm back from vacation. Missed checking in! @Laughter_Girl , I feel your pain. Eating has definitely been out of control here too. But I kind of expected it w/the vacation. On the plus side, I actually feel HORRIBLE now physically when I eat like that these days. So, I guess that's good. Old me would have…
-
Howdy-ho everyone! Vacation starts tomorrow. Yippee!!! @Laughter_Girl, amazingly, you can also eat alot more bc of strength training too. More muscles= more calories. Yippee! Haha. I'm looking forward to being able to run or do some sort of impact type cardio activities again. Thinking I may even try a crossfit class once…

Today was my 500 th MFP day! I debated stopping logging, bc the OCD part of me thought that was a good number to stop at, but then I got nervous I'd backslide, so didnt! @Laughter_Girl, actually yes! I've seen alot of changes. Lifting heavy, and consistently is amazing. I really need to take some new pics/measurements. My…

Hello! I'm here!! Oh my, it's been SUCH a crazy month. Work has been positively insane. I've still managed to keep up w/my workouts b/c that afternoon gym break is pretty much what keeps me coming in here and not taking a few mental health days :# This past weekend I went up to NY to visit family (more crazy!). Throw in my…

My office building has a fully equipped gym w showers. I always workout at lunch, and depending on the workout and day, will sometimes shower, and other times I'm good w just the deodorant touch up. When I shower I keep my hair up, so I don't have to restyle it. I can get in and out pretty quickly like that.

5/25 Green, no 18/20 Exercise, no 12/15 Had a nice lunch out w some friends instead of my normal lunchtime workout. Definitely needed! Too much stress lately. I'm very close to making my goals for the month bit it's going to be close! This long weekend will throw me off. I'm off work for 4 days so no workouts there, and…
