Amy, I am so glad you did not break anything. Hope the neck feels better soon.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning, everyone!
I had made a long post, but it didn?t go through. Not OH though, more likely our home internet. It seems like whenever the boys have an all-night gaming session, our internet gets messed up.
Suffice to say that I got caught up in the train robbery that you may have seen on the news. I think we were the first commuter train behind the freight train that was robbed. We were never in danger, just a 4 hour commute.
A good weekend otherwise, we made a big chili and I enjoyed Run with the Nuns.
QOTD: 1984 Honda Accord. Typical account car.
Some pictures from Thailand:
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Catered
Dinner: Chili
Have a great day, all!

Wow, deep reflection for a Monday morning. I used to feel more engaged when I was able to post from work throughout the day and now I'm not nearly as active and I don't really have a good reason for that other than I don't prioritize stepping away from my desk during the day where I can sit, read and reply. I do try and walk the walk and I do find value with this group here. I have nobody in real life that has had surgery like we have so I've learned from this group from early on. I'm not sure if that directly answers then question but it's what I got right now.

Good morning ~ Monday, Monday... I had a very productive weekend full of satisfying things I can control in my life. Cleaning organizing, purging, meal planning, grocery shopping, exercise and decent steps! And, connecting with my sister, hanging with the kids and a fantastic long nap - lovely. Not so bueno was when I slipped on cardboard in the garage, I went down hard on my tailbone and slapped my hand so hard on the concrete I though I broke it, but the fall out is a only very sore neck. I'm seriously one lucky girl.
Asking again for a friend:
QOTD - To be real, the main reason I come on OH is for healthy WLS lifestyle support, inspiration and camaraderie - a fun banter day is awesome! Are you getting what you came for? I feel like we are on a huge rinse and repeat cycle. Where are you honestly with your journey? Let's talk about it! Are you walking the walk? Why/why not? What are you actively doing to get there/stay there? If you are in a funk (seriously been there), what is holding you back? Are you searching for work-arounds, stuck or given up? What can we do to support you, good, bad, or ugly?? I hope you you are making an effort with your food, movement, vitamins, water. It's frustrating when I see these basics not planned w/care quotients in the trash. I am trying/struggling everyday to make the right choices to stay on track and know I'm not perfect. I look to all of you for support and I hope I give that back but I could be better. I'm trying like hell to stay consistent and walk the walk - it's what you do most of the time that makes a difference. How about you? What can I do to support you?
More on this, I love the friendships and connections, hearing about your personal life and all the fun and interesting things you do! But I'm here for the WLS support first and foremost, isn't this what this forum is for? I want all of us to share what we are doing and what is working/not working - that is what helps me, motivates me and keep me accountable. Ongoing WLS support/lifestyle.
Accountability - great on food, but add 6 whoppers. I had 40 active minutes (i did get on treadmill both days this weekend) and only 7,590 clocked steps due to my watch battery dying. I'm sure it was in the 10k range. Today I am 171! I think the fall may have inflamed my body. So water basically but I know it's not fat. I will just keep doing what I'm doing.
B- coffee, yogurt, strawberries, protein granola
l - chicken breast, salad kit
d - Chicken thighs, greek yogurt, spanish cauli rice, salsa
s- quest chips, jerky, watermelon, apple
Have a great day!

Good mornin everyone!
Not much happening here today. Hopefully we'll be able to stay home for most of it if not all of it.
QOTD: what was your first vehicle?
Mine was a 78 ford fairlane. It cost a whopping 250 bucks. My grandpa fixed it up enough to get it running and all. It broke down at least twice a week! It had alternator issues...it went through them like candy. But I loved that car. It was fast. Which I probably didn't need thinking back on it lol
B: eggs, cheese and coffee
L: ????
D: chicken and a salad
Have a good one y'all!
I am about 20 pounds lighter, but have less stamina and use a walker now instead of a cane. Last year the cane was new and I was having problems with walking much distance. I keep fighting to do as much as I can. I do think the body remembers its ideal weight and tries to stay there.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
I just checked my spreadsheet - I'm the same weight as last year at this time! (I lost about six or seven lbs last winter, but then put them back on. And lost a few this summer, and put those back on, too). So---I'm now the same as when you saw me. I think the bod is determined to fight to stay this weight. I weighed about the same (as I do now) throughout high school and college, so maybe it remembers it was here for several years...
