  • @quilteryoyo - ha! Yep that's how we all are! @bearly63 - I had a couple years of non-stop UTIs. It has been a little better this year. I was convinced it was the cycling (80+ miles every weekend) but doctor said no, (TMI here too) it's sex. I didn't believe him. But after trying many different things and being on…
  • @shanaber - forgot to answer you that I ordered a Thyroid kit from Everly. I found a promo code so it was around $100. Trying to help the economy. :wink:
  • @elise4270 - OMG, I've been sitting here laughing at all your posts! You can keep that momentum! 78 calories, no way! You'd burn more than that sitting! @shanaber - my scale does HR. Many mornings I give up and get off before it shows. It takes a few seconds and sometimes it just gives an X and says it couldn't read it.…
  • @bearly63 - you definitely aren't really up four pounds! It's just the water weight/exercise weight. That being said, drink a ton of water today! My DH and I cancelled our happy hours last week Mon-Thurs and it did nothing for my scale! Even though I was just having one drink a night (wine, ok a really big pour) for the…
  • @shanaber oh no on the pacemaker and scale! No idea why that would be. It reads HR but you can turn that off I think. @Elise4270 and @avidkeo. great advice on the injury and grieving about it. @Elise4270 - Sorry about the fall. 😞 @quilteryoyo - I hate days like that! For me it’s usually not hunger it’s just an urge to eat.…
  • @shanaber - sorry you are frustrated and who can blame you. Let’s hope there is good news from the monitor. I forgot to name my run for Ahmaud yesterday and I did about that mileage. Agree with @bearly63, it is like the Twilight Zone with everything in this country. But the problem has always been there for people of…
  • Ugh, for some bizarre reason DH brought home chocolate chip cookies. Huge big ones. I ate 3/4 of one, could eat all of them! I had realized last night after dinner and lunch today that I don’t have to eat something sweet after lunch and dinner. But I’m working on it! Lifted this morning (FitBod gives 350 calories and…
  • @elise4270 - oh my goodness! Be careful walking! @RunsOnEspresso - you had to pet them, lol! Time to cook the Hello Fresh meal. I am tiring of the cooking, as fun as it is.
  • @shanaber - good idea not researching too much. Definitely done too much of that myself! @bearly63 - interesting on the meds. I've had hot flashes for many years, still do at 58. Definitely will see you on Peloton! My son and DIL asked if we wanted to come over on mother's day. Of course I want to. But, I worry about DIL…
  • @elise4270 - oh my gosh that poor professor!!! That's awful!!! How will she ever finish. Oh no on cancelling school in the fall. But, I thought OK was opening up? @bearly63 - oh brother, I better not look at the Peloton blog, I'll be addicted to it. I look so forward to my runs with it! The one today was SO good. @shanaber…
  • @elise4270 - sorry about the sleep and studying! Happy birthday to the twins! My daughter was Saturday the 2nd. 27! B is fine!!! @Avidkeo - I do the same thing with making smaller cookies, no bake energy bites, etc. But I sometimes think I end up eating too many thinking "they are really not as much!" The no bake energy…
  • I wish my scale would let me say it's not me sometimes! I suppose I can delete it from the app but what's the point. Who am I kidding? We had a pretty good pizza last night from 1000 Degrees Pizza. Never heard of it but the cycling friends suggested it. I loved it! But maybe I was starving from all the miles riding this…
  • @bearly63 - lol, well, sugar and chocolate are essential too! Sorry it didn’t work out. My scale is a Withings Smart Body Analyzer. I have both of us in it, so it figures out who you are and shows your initials. If my weight is too high I jump off before it has time to recognize me! This was shows fat and HR also. I was…
  • Sorry - 3 posts in a row! I just go an email from the neighborhood that a local small restaurant is closed for good due to Covid-19. It's been open for 21 years. I've only been there a few times in all these years because it is sort of generic food and I prefer ethnic cuisine. But they always had a huge crowd and many…
  • Took me so long to type that last post, there were a bunch more posts! Yay, @avidkeo! Great idea for @elise4270 - glad we have some smart people on here!
  • @quilteryoyo - congrats! Amazing job getting the weight down!! @elise4270 - That's odd. Two tiny pokes and now that! Hope it is better by tomorrow. @bearly63 - same with the lack of belly muscle. I don't know what I can blame either! I know what you mean about obsessing with burning calories. That's why many days I double…
  • @avidkeo - yay! @RunsOnEspresso - one day at a time! I've been about 300 cals over the last 3 days but weight is stable. I know that won't remain if I keep it up. But I am going to carb/pasta load today because tomorrow will be a bike ride. My cycling club posted something on Strava and facebook, that the group rides are…
  • @bearly63 - 1 font? Is that a typo? That can't be legible! Chocolate chip cookies! Yum. That is my absolute favorite dessert. @shanaber - LOL I know what you mean on snacking instead of a meal! Poor Hobbes doesn't like the heat! Yesterday the doorbell rang and there was no one there but there was a big basket of fruit…
  • HAHAHA - you are the hero! :wink:
  • @shanaber - oh gosh, I'm sorry about the pacemaker. It seems like they should do some more tests first. I know you said it the other day, but still shocked with all your exercise that you need one. Cool on the yeast, but that sounds like a lot of work for me. I'm not a bread baker, well banana bread, yes! The Hello Fresh…
  • @RunsOnEspresso - omg, poor Shadow and you!! I hope she was apologetic! That would scare me to death! @avidkeo - lol you crack me up with your ocd with data. Trust me, many of us are that way. I have a Garmin Fenix 5s and I tend to look at the calories towards the end of the evening. If they aren't over by what I know I…
  • @bearly63 - When I can ride in my cycling club again we do 44 miles on Saturday, and then DH and I will go out and do our own ride on Sunday. I am always up 2-3 lbs after those weekends. What I read is that the water stores itself around your muscles, healing them. Which is what @elise4270 stated in her technical words!…
  • @elise4270 - You are a great pet mama! So scary when an accident like that happens and glad it wasn't worse! No tree ideas, plus Florida trees wouldn't work where you are. I wish I liked gardening. I keep saying I'm going to plant something, and it never happens. Maybe if I saw the calorie burn I would! @shanaber - awesome…
  • @elise4270 - professors have a lot of leeway in their grading ... just saying! I know that most will realize the stress everyone is under and grant a few points. But, I'm sure not all are that way. @bearly63 - I'm thankful she did that major and that her job seems safe. She is making a killing and has no debt. Hopefully…
  • @shanaber - that protein looks good, I saw they have a plant based one. Most of the plant based ones I’ve had are awful but I may that one. Though,I don’t like coffee. I think if they list the dressing as what comes with it, the calories are included. But if they don’t specify which dressing, it would be extra. No evidence…
  • @elise4270 - oh my gosh those poor professors. And poor students. I'm sure labs are much more fun that writing papers. Poor all of us! Sorry about the PT pain and the weight. @bearly63 - oh wow, my daughter went to Columbia too. Graduated in 2015. She lived there 3.5 years and then moved to Portland, OR last January. She…
  • My mom made tons of cloth masks and that is what I wear when going out. I had read something about not removing them properly makes it worse, like @avidkeo said. But I didn't read how to remove it properly. So I am probably not doing myself any good. But I do wear it in the stores. I have hardly gone out though. @bearly63…
  • @shanaber - IDK if it will help to run on an empty stomach. I always do. Happened again today- have to pause Peloton. This never happens cycling, and I’m sure it won’t on the peloton bike. Nice on the vegetarian meal! As you know I’ve been vegetarian since August 2018 and at first I did have trouble getting enough protein…
  • @bearly63 I wear a HRM around my chest and have for years, even in the awful Florida heat! I love my Garmin Fenix 5! 2 fun rides and core! Are you doing the "crush your core with Emma" on the Peloton app. I am and it is HARD. I thought it would be easy for me because I have been lifting weights for many years. Nope! Today…
  • I heard Peloton will go directly to Strava but then I would have a double post because Garmin goes there too.
