WOW!  That sonic shake really blows my mind!  I have been guilty of running by fast food when my family doesn't want what I'm fixing, but this is definetly an eye opener.

Straight from the New York Times, check out their article for what 2,000 calories look like.  Glad I'm eating at home tonight LOL.

Keeping my head in the game

I am not walking much today !!    I have an ear infection and am seeing a doctor this afternoon.  This pain all started on Saturday and I thought it was due to recent dental work, but now I know it is my ear that hurts!   Still seeing dentist tomorrow for other problems !   UGH !  If it is not one thing, it is another !     Food has tasted rancid since Saturday, but has that made me quit eating ?   NO !!   I just keep trying stuff hoping it tastes better than the last thing I ate !   It will get better !

 Morning vits✅     Water started.......walking...not so much.....

breakfast.....coffee

lunch..........Frito pie......it is what is being served in cafeteria and I forgot my lunch !    Of course it meets government requirements on nutrition and calories, so it won't hurt my eating plan too much.....

dinner.........hubby wants chicken and roasted veggies, so that is what we are having !!   Especially since he is the one cooking them !!  Wouldn't trade him for the world !   Love that man !!

snack........SF/ff pudding

I hope everyone has a healthy eating day !!

Do you have a YMCA within reasonable distance? Many of them have arthritis swim classes that exercise in the water. This would be so excellent for you! My Y has a zero entry heated pool for their classes, and a hot tub and sauna for after, should you need i****er exercise puts little to no stress on your body, but it does wonders for loosening stiff joints and relieving pain. We walk, do stretching exercises and then can swim laps if we wish. AT my Y classes are available every week day at different times, too. ( of course, clear it with your doctor, but I'm sure the answer will be go for it.)

I was 405 lbs when I first started the arthritis swim classes, so I am well aware of the absolute terror most bariatrics have of having to take off their robe and walk into the water. There is no place to hide! But 200 pounds lighter, I am so over that - I'm still no beauty, but the relief I find through water exercise makes those few seconds irrelevant. Over time, you will find the relief so wonderful you would drag yourself naked through the halls to get to that pool. :-)

IF you have no Y, see if your school system has a pool that may have an evening program.

COSTS: IF your Y participates in the Arthritis Foundation program, you can pay for the session w/o having to join the Y. And if cost is a problem, the Y has its ways of helping, so ask. If you are on Medicare, check out Silver Sneakers.

Start of my swimming 405lbs, size 5X swimsuit Lane Bryant catalog. I saved it, to remind me. Now 236lbs, size 16 swimsuit Walmart. Swimming is NOT considered a great weight loss regimen unless you have real fortitude when it comes to eating, but then, you wouldn't be here if you had that. What swimming will do is give you real joint relief, and greatly improved cardiovascular system.

And you can swim forever because you simply will not sink! ;-)
