Good Morning weight 132.2, BP of 116/77
Yesterday was 1883 in/1960 out and walked 17,522 steps / 7 day average is 1772 in /1770 out with weight increase of 0.2 (and I am allowing 1lb day to day swing action limits at 132 and 136 - the only reason I am holding low right now is the next three days with eating out) / Today is planned for 1591 calories but may adjust with more exercise. Every day I am doing a look back over the past 7 days to make adjustements to targets (I do love me my cronometer
)
Lost my long post yesterday so here goes - I shoud have saved before doing personals and save edits during personals. I lost is simply trying to put a darned emoticon on my last personal!
Went to gynecologist Monday and she says my cystocele (bladder prolapse) is undetectable and the rectocele (bowel prolapse) is unchanged - everything else in good shape. You know I do wish years ago I had found a lady doctor. The exam is so much less unpleasant with her. Cloth robes, padded stirrups, comfort! And I can have a frank discussion I am not sure I could have with a man doctor. Made appointment for plastic surgeon in May to evaluate for skin surgery. Appt on Monday with lawyer about threatening neighbor. [long story - won't bother new folks with it].
Today is the start of Beau and My cadaver dog recertification test. We won't be finished until Saturday so my next long post (if any) will be Sunday morning. While training I backed my car into another. So now I am waiting for the estimate. Honestly his car got far less damage than my own and I do feel terrible and will make it right. Time to install the darned back up camera or sensors. Those big trucks and their blind spots. Seriously most trucks have a big blind spot on the right side as well and it amazes me the liberties people in itty bitty cars take cutting in front of something that is 2-3 times its size! But this was all on me. I should have surveyed the area behind me before getting behind the wheel. I am a good and careful driver. Last time I backed into another car in a parking lot was 1978.

Jendiet - Will keep praying for you.
Diana - I hope dropping the synthroid dose helps. Sorry to hear about Ms Connie but glad they can restart the chemo. Ah. Menopause. Well there is another side afterwards. Start looking into vaginal estrogen (and be prepared for sticker shock!) when the time comes. It is worth every penny and wish I had been suggested to use that all along!!!
Fatandashamed - Welcome to the group. Daily posting really does seem to help a lot. Being on a computer all day is horrible for your body
. When I started wearng a tracker I realize how many calories just daily moving about burn (I am a telecommuter and burn almost nothing while sitting). I have done well with the 16:8 fast (daily) have not tried 5:2 though. Keep it up and share your journey as we share ours! This group has been invaluable to me.
Zallie - we have struggled with (as have friends) opening up our home to people who need a boost and who don't seem to realize the gift they have been given. I know your reward is not praise and thanks but them getting things in order in their own life. Sometimes you have to set goals and limits. People take so much for granted. Frustrating, I know. I hope your knee gets to feeling better. The eating mindfully link was appropriate. You know I eat way too much in front of my computer and the TV and when our kids was growing up so much was 'on the run".......sitting down and eating should be an important part of our day! Congrats for the March weight loss - that is awesome!
Kelijpa - Neat and happy picture. The dog looks RACKED OUT
Teri - glad you are feeling better.
Flower - I wonder when you get back?
Nancy - it really is hard to NOT sweat the day to day. Here is to hoping for an overall loss for the week! You are doing well. I wish Renpho had a proper trend line. Between it and putting the weight data into my Garmin to get more accurate burn data, I retired the spreasheet as Cronometer imports the garmin weight and I can see a nice graph (Also wish it did trends but at least I can export data from Cronometer as a *.csv file if I have a geeky spell.
Ciece - glad to hear your dad is doing well. My goodness how many miles a day DO you walk?
Rachel - Neat that you are a volunteer EMT. Far more dangerous and heart rendering stuff you face than Wilderness Search and Rescue Volunteers (The disaster folks have it dangerous). Thank you! Yes I also hav a way around those pesky lost threads by remembering to always save before scrolling backwards which is why it threw me when putting in an emoticon not only destroyed the post but there was no autosave
Jules - your personal analysis really was very insightful. I think that is part of a succesful journey. We are all different and all face different challenges and may find different solutions but knowing yourself is a big part of the path to get there and worthwhile to be sure.
