Love it! So true. I walked twice today. Once forgot my pedometer but it's like you said! Going to the mountains tomorrow for a couple days to Celebrate my 40th wedding anniversary. Hope to get some hiking in.

i came home today..switched into my work out clothes

and did my step aerobics...30 min on a 4 inch step

my right ankle hurt alittle bit as i was in heels all day and

felt like i walked back and forth from vp's office and back

(felt good to be able to do that btw and actually commented to a co worker about that.

but i did my aerobics and felt wonderful when i was done

and today with each step i was thinking, one more step towards my goal..

hope those checking in with their account are doing well also

Got a gym membership yesterday and walked a mile on the treadmill (not that much compared to everyone else), but it was an accomplishment just to get into the gym, sign up, and go back then do a mile on the treadmill.

You went and did it. That is the accomplishment! Don't compare yourself to someone else...you went! You did your best...you made the most important step....THE FIRST ONE! Congrats....now just Never, Ever give up :)

Okay, heading off to the basement for an abbreviated workout. I have 3-4 days of intense working out (for me, anyway) with a cousin -- 20 bike to warmup, 40 treadmill, 20 BowFlex -- but I need to do something on my own on these other days, even if it's just a nod in the right direction. Oh, and doing my husband's PT exercises with weights in bed each morning. After a year of thinking these look like excellent exercises for any one needing core work, I finally got my own little set of hand weights. These exercises are amazing and now he's working harder, too.

Went to the gym Sunday, Monday & Tuesday. Met with the personal trainer yesterday and he have me a workout to follow. Every day this week I've done at least a mile on the treadmill. Not going to go today because I need to spend some time with my kids & need to do a million things when I get home. But I did walk during my break at work.

Went out of town to Celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary and got word last night my first cousin who is closer than a brother to me passed away during thyroid surgery (4 heart attacks), Needless to say it changed the tone of things and my desire to workout. Gotta get through the next few days and I will. Carry on and say a prayer or hold a good thought for my family. He was one of the good guys and way too young.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
