OMG- I just completely broke down on the phone with my doctors office but it all worked out even better than before. I have been waiting weeks to see the endocrinologist and my appointment was scheduled for 5/19. My son is “graduating” 8th on the 20th. But due to COVID they had to change things and schedules the ceremony…

Thank you. I am going to keep posting, tracking and weighing so that I don’t get out of the habit.

Thank you everyone for the encouragement. I spoke to my coach and with everything going on, I am going to take a diet break until my endocrinologist appointment. I will be eating at maintenance and hope it helps to reset things to get to losing again. Since my goal is maintenance for 2 weeks, do I stay active or go to…

@Bluetail6 - you look very fit! Keep up the great work! @mszoueb - I am right there with you! That is EXACTLY how I have been feeling lately. @jimboden3 - the new season of Handmaid’s Tale is out and I decided that I will only watch while rowing ... I am up to 20 minutes! I am not going super fast, just focusing on form…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - below are my sad steps for the week

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:176.9 CW: 177 LTD: 30 This month marks the one year mark from starting my current weight loss journey. My goal was to lose 50lbs by my 50th birthday which is May 14th. I am definitely proud of the progress that I made but I have been feeling very down lately and defeated. I have…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - please make my goal 7000K 4/18- 4138 4/19- 10236 4/20- 6595 4/21- 4226 4/22- 8508 4/23- 5347 4/24-5743 4/25- ???

@AlphaEliJoe - sounds like a good plan. The 300s will soon be history @TheresaM787 - which watches are you considering. I have tried them all. Fitbit kept breaking after about a year and I switched to Garmin which I liked better. Later I got an Apple Watch and loved it. It's very intuitive and natural for me since I am…

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:175.8 CW: 176.9 LTD: 30.1 Another gain this week :( This week was mostly good but yesterday was a bit off track. Now that we are fully vaccinated we had a friend over for a BBQ and I was a little over on calories and lot over on sodium. That led to a big spike on the scale today. I…

@Bluetail6 - GREAT JOB🤩🤩🤩 @rlaskey2 - I looked up that recipe on skinny taste. Sounds good 🤤 @Beautyofdreams - I like that , “what would my best self do” @rwood566 - interesting pet, enjoy 😊 @Megan_smartiepants1970 - I’m so glad that you are getting your surgery next week @888Angie888 - nice insight on the exercise…

Good day with calories, macros and exercise. I was really sore this morning from the new rower but I still put in a 2000m workout. It took me 13 minutes and was really hard. I thought it was because I was sore but then I later realized that my daughter had the damper on level 7 and the recommendation is set in the 3-5…

@rwood566 - are your littles puppies or hitters? @lcfa5317 - we had our dog’s old age bumps removed because she kept tearing them open. Hopefully, the weather will get spring-like for you soon. The winter blues are real, get out in the sunlight as much as possible. @Beautyofdreams - I really like the rower. It’s definitely…

@rlaskey2 - do you find a lot of shark teeth? I never found anything but sand dollars. If I lived near the beach, I would walk all of the time. I LOVE the ocean. @rwood566 - sounds like a good day. Is your dizziness getting better? @iradi8 = nice loss! You are closing in on 60lb LTD, you must be feeling like a new person.…

The scale was way up today and I am not sure why. I gave blood yesterday and was expecting a loss just from that ... lol. My rower arrived yesterday and I did two mini workouts that totaled 27 minutes. I am really hoping that this shakes things up and helps me break through this plateau and into the 160s. Yesterday was…

Good day today with calories, macros, steps and water. I heard back from my PCP and I need to make an appointment with an endocrinologist for my parathyroid problem. I will get that done tomorrow

@lcfa5317 - happy birthday to your husband. Sounds like you had a nice celebration @rwood566 - thank you, my Westie is a little better today. I have been craving corn on the cob lately but it’s not good yet. @mszoueb - a walking buddy sounds great. I wish that I had one. When the rower arrives, I am hoping to get the…

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - not my best week

Username : azkunk Weigh In Day: Sunday PW:175.8 CW: 175.7 LTD: 31.3 It’s been a rough weekend. My daughter had a dance competition and my 14 yr old Westie was sick. Spent 12+ hours at the emergency vet today and had little sleep all weekend. I am pretty sure she has kennel cough. The puppies coughed for a day or two a…

I recognizes a brisk walk over a certain pace. Yesterday, it recognized 10 minutes which I think is accurate

Another busy day at work which cut into my walking time. I only got in around 7K steps. My nutrition was better today. Under calories and a bit closer to my macros. I am off tomorrow so I will walk in the morning before I go to my eye doctor appointment. I am at 100 exercise minutes for the week. I need to get 50 more…

@lindamtuck2018 - I hope you get a handle on your headaches. I have had migraines since I was a young teen and I know how debilitating they can be @rwood566 - now I will be singing row, row, row your boat. Thanks for putting that in my head. I hope you get the dizziness under control soon. I was wondering what country you…

Yesterday was not as good. It was a very busy day and I only got 16 min of walking. Macros were not met but I was under my total calories and water was just only 78 oz. Today will be better! I got confirmation that my C2 rower shipped. It will be here on Wednesday. I am so excited. I am really hoping this is what I need to…

@lindamtuck2018 - isn’t it a nice surprise when you check your device a see more steps than you expected? I love when that happens. Great day yesterday including a good night’s sleep! Hope today is just as good.

OK on my goals today. I hit my exercise and water goal but was a little low on protein and steps. It was a busy day. Tomorrow, I need to be at work early, so now walk before work. Here are my goals 1. 30 “exercise minutes” on Apple Watch. I will get this by short walking breaks at work and an evening walk 2. Meet protein…

@iradi8 - I am glad the surgery went well and you are recovering. Two weeks must seem like forever for you. @Beautyofdreams - that’s an awesome NSV! Great work 🤩 @lcfa5317 - it’s really starting to warm up hear. The way things are going, I bet we hit out first 100 degree day of the year pretty soon 🥵 @rwood566 - I am…

@Bluetail6 - I am hoping it’s nothing too serious with your dog. It’s so hard when they are not well because you never truly know what’s going on with them. I wish they could just tell us how they feel. @lindamtuck2018 - too bad about the melatonin. We just had a pharmacist present it’s benefits to the leadership team…

@rwood566 - both boys. They are litter mates and all I was told is that they are Sheltie mixes. Croc has a long body and short, little legs and Volt is a twice as big and fluffy. They were the names given at the foster home and everyone liked them so we didn’t change them

Today was a good day. I had off today so my morning walk was a little later than usual and it was already hot and sunny by 8:00. I only walked about 25 minutes and it was a little bit of a slower pace, so I made sure to walk another 20 minutes tonight during my daughter’s dance class. My macros were on track today and I am…

@Bluetail6 - I hope all is well with you dog. As far as the phone call goes , it’s good that he actually realized the gravity of his actions even if it’s too little and too late @red1185 - thanks 🐶🥰 @lindamtuck2018 - have you tried melatonin? @Tazaria87 - nice job getting the whole family involved in the walk @rlaskey2 -…
