Hey guys,
New to THIS forum and just thought it was a good idea to join and take some accountability. Just wanted to say hi to all!

It's Mothers Day, My moms birthday (88) and may parents 68th anniversary. All today! Glad to still have them.
Making my wife prime rib for Mothers Day. Never made it before, but the recipe looks very promising.
Good week to all.

Blest to still have my mother too. Brother, GF and I took her out to eat at preferred local sea food restaurant last night. Obviously we were not the only ones trying to duck the anticipated crowds today.
Work schedule still twisted around this week. New guy not ready to go on his own yet. May be replacing a second officer soon depending on his interview on the 23rd. Good officer and a good man to begin with. Will hate to lose him.
Turn off the computer, go outside and play!
Never, and I mean NEVER, trust a fart!! 
I'm guessing none of us are mothers, but we all had one. I am glad to have my Mom with us still - literally. She is upstairs asleep, visiting for the weekend.

I dipped down to my lowest weight ever for the third or fourth time, 262 3/4 lbs. It seems to be a hard stop for me, and I am pretty sure it was from dehydration after being out in the sun making mulch all day long. I?ve been stable here for months now, and I am content. Have a great week everyone!
Hi guys...Been awhile. I got up to about 206-207 over the past month or so. A few months ago I was down to 195. My back has been giving me problems the last few weeks. I've had a bad back for 35 years...They wanted to operate back then, but I've held off. I'm hoping to die from a heart attack and not have to deal with the surgery. But I saw the doctor...Will jump through the hoops (X ray, PT, MRI) before I can get the referral to the neurosurgeon. So I do what I can do. I've gone back to the exercises my physical therapist gave me years ago. I've also worked on my weight. I got on the scale today (Thursday) and am down to 203. I'll take it. High of about 300. The weight loss and exercise should help my back...It did before.
There is always this judgment call on food now...Tortilla chips or pain in the back...Sugar or pain in the back!! It is making me rethink my actions. I can do what I can do to relieve the pain. Plus with the RNY I shouldn't be taking NSIDS. So I am limited in what to take and how problems can build up with the medications. I'm not getting great exercise, but walking and riding the bike a little...Just want to avoid the pounding that hurts the back. Why does it take a crisis for us to wake up on what we need to do...(diabetes, heart, back)?? So back to eating pretty right and doing my exercises.
I'm 62 1/2...Enjoy doing the yard work, pruning, projects. But with the back and my age it is time to hand some of the stuff off to younger people. I hate to do it...And I will do what I can work wise. But I need to be wise at not taking the pounding of the back and having people come along side and be my backups and be there for the things I can't do... Brian

Food: C After my stressful week where I ate a lot of comfort foods, getting back to high protein and low carb diet was difficult, but with less stress I was able to focus on what I ate more this week. I was often hungry but for the most part I avoided the temptations. I kept within my calorie limits most days.
Water: C
Vitamins: A
Exercise: A Got back to the gym 4 days last week and hit my step goal 6 out of 7 days.

Was all set to check in yesterday and never hit the post key.
Busy day cleaning out my parents house. Looks like a great week for yardwork. Only about .75 acres, but I enjoy (now that I've lost the weight) working outside.
Good week to all.
