It's hard when you get to the end of the day and feel like you need something else. I use the filling up on water trick as well and then of course that means I'll be up for bathroom trips during the night. Tea is a good idea, maybe with a bit of lemon. Okay, now I need tea and don't have any here :?:

Doing better about water intake but still not were I need to be.

Started Week 5 of C25K and need prayers for Friday!!! Yesterday was FAR easier than I thought it would be but I'm a bit concerned about tomorrow. I am SO out of shape. Friday will be a killer though. I may end up just parking on that workout for a few times before trying to move on. We shall see.

Almost down to my low that I saw on Christmas! Still trying to make up for lost time over the last few weeks. About 7.5 more pounds and I will be HALF WAY to my goal!!! And some of my clothes are FINALLY getting too big to wear! I don't really want to go shopping and spend money on clothes that I am working to shrink out of, though. I meant to go to the Goodwill store the first Saturday of the month but I forgot. Oh well, maybe next month.

Rennie, it's great how God orchestrates things so that we get just what we need, just when we need it!!! I know that, as I was going out of church Sunday, there was a lady that told me that I sure looked like I was losing weight. There have only been a couple of people that didn't know I was on a diet that have said anything. Oh, that did so much for my spirits! She almost fainted when I told her that I had lost about 50 pounds! Thank you, Lord, for that little nudge!

I am still having trouble getting my water in and dr says no exercising for 3 more weeks. I am trying to move around as much as I can. Seems like the wieght came off much faster last time. But slow is better than not at all.

bunnabear I have camomile tea for the evening. It's the inexpensive kind so I brew two bags :)

Jill, Goodwill is the way to go on this journey and clearance racks ;) and yes, thank the Lord for the little nudges and whispers :)

stlrgirl, you are still doing well even without exercise, keep doing what you're doing :)

A small update...

My back is doing fantastic. One of the vertaraes is completely healed and the other about 80%. Dr is very impressed with my progress. She says I am healing like a 20 year old. The second vertabrae should be completely healed in 10-14 days, which means this whole fusing process only took 8 weeks. -- The bones still be weak and I have to be cautious with my movements.

Today is a big day; I am finally going to walk outdoors! And I am very excited! Hubby is going with me to "control" the doggie. If she were to yank me in a leash, I could re-injure my back. I will also wear my crampons, and they are heavy duty ones with big spikes.

Loving life, and appreciative!

Sum38 that is awesome! I hope you had a great walk. :)

pnkrckpixikat Way to go! You are doing great.
