Goodness @AZLisaLou glad it wasn't any worse, I'm so sorry you've been through this! You will be sore for at least 10 days, expect a bit more... It's amazing how the body tenses up and responds to even the most minor fender bender. I hope you recover quickly! @heatherc369 , did you update the daily activity amount on MFP…

Hugs hugs hugs and more hugs @heatherc369 , sweet girl, the body reacts in funky ways to healing! What our other two awesome ladies mentioned is probably totally on point! I feel your frustration, though, it sucks to be forced to just sit there! But you WILL get through this one! I only wish there was an easy 'here you go'…

@AZLisaLou so brave of you to,try and stick it out! Every big change needs time to feel habitual! You've gone back to work and every part of you needs to get used to it... From a different way of using the brain (restaurant work is intense! Give yourself credit), to the physical demands! However, your mental stability is…

Wait WHAT?!?!? You broke your ankle?!?!? Oh noooo.... So sorry!

Whew... It really must be witches and ghouls month... It's cray cray. Kid # 1 on meltdown about how hard all his pre-AP classes are and how he didn't choose to get out in them (uuuhh, yeah he did, and uuuhh... I would've signed up regardless, so shush kid!)! All because at 9:30 I got a bit mad that he suddenly remember an…

I'm here, I'm here! I'm keeping up... Just not with the gym! =< which is driving me bananas, but it will come... Had allergist appointments for myself in the am and again with kid #1 in the pm... I'll be tested next week, kid got tested today, he has no allergies, yay, but then why is he snoring, not able to breathe?…

So, busy and crazy like everyone out in this world! I have been dealing with some anxiety issues and finally dragged my bahunkas to the doctor. I've always had anxiety issues but have been somewhat manageable. The last few months though, have been unusually harder to manage. I also started birth control around the same…

What da 'bleepdy Dee Dee Bleep'!?!? I posted a long msg yesterday and it's nowhere to be seen!! I'll repost when I get home... but I'm still here!

Gggaaaahhhhh silly MFP cut my previous post off.... hehehe I was just saying: I hope @heatherc369 is safe from the hurricane and hope to hear from her soon. My weekend was hectic, soccer on Saturday always feels like it takes away the eeekend. Sunday was fun, we had friends over, played board games, much food and wine.…

@AZLisaLou I'm pretty sure McDonalds can't stop you from wearing a fitness tracker if you say it's for health reasons!! You should ask!!!! And gggguuuurrrrllll, stay away from that sofa machine, you can do it!!!!! @heatherc369 hoes the kid liking cubscouts? Mine weren't interested! I was a scout growing up and loved it!!…

I'm all halloweened out! It's one of my fave holidays so I decorate inside and out. Including Day of the Dead altar. Hehe so that's my last two days worth of exercise! I think, I'm pretty sure, I broke my pinky toe last weekend, so no spin shoes for me in a few. It HURTS a LOT and it's swollen and green and pilurple (u…

I remember when it first came out, my son was only months and there were so many rumors about it causing seizures and muscle dystrophic disorders, it scared the bejeezers out of me, first time mom, easily impressionable. Thankfully, I didn't have to make that decision then. Now, my sons will be getting it on their next…

Our girls are backkkkk!!!!!!!!! My cold-ridden crappy day just got a glimmer of happy!!!! ;P You've both been missed, but we all need to take a break once in a while. Life happens. Life is. And that's OK, but don't do this again...... j.k.!!!! I'm with @AZLisaLou on this one, @heatherc369 family first, but don't wait too…

Great work!!!

Weed sounds good right about now, though!! Hahaha fighting a yucky cold!

When you fear you've gained an entire pound, ask yourself if you really are 3,500 calories above? Sometimes we do, but most often is water weight or fluctuations!!! What mattes is the long-term and the changes towards healthier habits!! Everything else will happen little by little!! I myself had a yuck day. I skipped the…

C'mon crazy ladies, get a strong midweek going!!! Had my water, surpassed steps, ate healthy, did my spin!!! I really really really want a power rack (cage) but can't excuse (nor do I have) $600 worth of equipment!!!!! And I am still so intimidated to go into the 'serious' side of the gym and do it!! And I don't want to…

I ate healthfully, drank my water, aaannnddd even though I had decided to skip the gym to catch up on chores, I changed my mind this afternoon and hubs took over dinner and night routine, and kicked me out so I could go to an afternoon spin class!!! And it was so good!!! Now to settle in and raise my blood pressure while…

@AZLisaLou that is fantastic!!! How exciting and scary and satisfying!!! It is not 'just' McDonald's, it's a new stage of your life with new challenges!!!! Very happy for you!

Sometimes, when I need a break, I do t weigh or measure.... I do get burnt out of constantly thinking about the journey. But I know in the beginning, thinking of taking a break would send me in a panic! You need to do what is right for you, if not logging accurately stresses you out, then don't stop! All I know is that…

Apple butter sounds delish!!! To add to some yogurt... mmmhhh. How did the canning go? I've never even remotely attempted to can!!! My weekend was busy, but hubby got to come home 4 days ahead of schedule, so yeah! Now, the only thing we were wondering is, when I'm home alone with the kids, they seem to be more helpful,…

Sorry to hear, girlie @heatherc369 !! Kids are *kittens* but they start getting better around age 10-11! They get more of the 'be my teammate' when it's needed! My youngest just seems to be going through a developmental stage and he's getting more rational and enjoyable!!!!!

Haha anything other than homemade food will bloat and retain water / salt!!!! I'm still stuck between 148/150. But I'm not complaining a and it's been to busy and unusual to stress about anything other than maintenance!!! Next week or two I'll start again and try to get down to 145. I'm just glad to be back into a gym…

Hehehe, my day could've been better! Definitely could've been better... But we're all home, with prescription for ear infection for kid #1, heat pad for back muscle pulled for this lady! Kids sleeping, and I. Relaxing to close the day! Stayed within calories, drank plenty of water, did my spin class, and survived the day I…

Wwwooohhhoooo congrats on the awesome sugar readings, that rocks!!!! Remember the wins and great achievements!

It's scary to listen the grip on the control!! It's a new learning curve!!!

Danged crispy chicken tacos! Hahaha homemade but deliciously fried! :/ I seriously think I can't be a responsible adult without the husband around!!! Hahaha I'm good, I'm good!

@AZLisaLou if you go to community and hit search, a quick search under 'diabetes groups' popped 2-3 different support groups.... Maybe give that a try with different search words? It's necessary to find a few peeps with similar challenges to exchange ideas and rants!

Always the chance for a better day!!! I ended the day flipping... hahaha opposite from yours. I had a school gathering (social) that I had not planned on attending because kids, soccer, husbandless. However rain cancelled soccer so I was able to sneak out for an hour ..., but I hadn't had dinner..... bad, I munched on a…

Amazing job!!!!!!! Keep going strong, I know for me, the mind still plays tricks and sometimes I don't see the thinner version of me I've become! It takes constant mental work when those negatives happen, luckily, it has gotten better!!!!
