I keep slogging away. I've had several binges lately. That troubles me but I still managed to lose almost 2 pounds last week.

I found this YouTube on beginning kettlebelling. I think she does a good job of explaining the body mechanics so there isn't a back injury. The reminder about keeping a flat back and shoulders was important, of course, but what I found most helpful was the advice to push into the floor with...

Couldn't find any kettlebells at a couple Targets near me. Shipping for an online order would probably be outrageous. So I guess I'll just try the moves with some handweights. Meanwhile, I weighed today. The scale was down 5 pounds which is ridiculous so I have to conclude that it makes more...

There's no way I'd consider going to a gym now even if I could find one open. I'm in LA and LA County consistently has one of the highest Covid infection rates in CA and CA is consistently at the top of the nation in new cases. BUT we're well below the national per capita average. We take...

That's excellent results! So glad for you. Having chronic pain at your age and looking forward to a long life of it is really awful! Thanks for that link! It's very interesting and I may buy myself a kettlebell. I need to do some high intensity work but that usually involves impact and...

I've seen kettlebells but I have no idea what the workout is.

Looks like HEAVEN!!! Is that around Mt Baker? Once when we lived in Vancouver, BC (I've lived there at different times) we had a great view of Mt Baker from our bedroom window.

Welcome! It sounds like you've been through a lot but are coming out the other end. I assume if you just got married that you're young. That means you have lots of time to work at this. Good luck!

If anyone else is doing Keto I found this site that has a lot of recipes and has already done all the math on the nutrients and carb/protein/fat ratios. https://www.carbmanager.com/recipes

Didn't know that. I've only ever seen the silver ones. Strong impressive dogs! Good to know! I'll check SparkPeople out. ...though I connect on 5:2 forums because the folks there are approaching weight loss the same way I am. VERY impressive that you've already lost so much weight...

3-miles out in the open air sounds good to me! Bet you're active through the day as well. Beautiful dog! But I thought Weimaranerrs were silvery grey.

Ah! It's a clever name and I learned something tonight! :wee

Zapraska! What a unique name! Does it mean something? How did you come up with it? Good for you for doing some walking! When we lived in Vancouver we had a driveway (a long one!) that climbed about 40˚. That's where I got my exercise. Tougher in the winter when I'd slide backward 4...

Not a good week for me. I struggled with my goals all week long. Less on exercise than food but then Life got in the way of my exercise too. In the end, I binged like crazy yesterday. And that's why I gained 1.2 pounds and let my BMI creep up .2 as well. I got a new digital scale that...

Ouch on that migraine. So sorry you have them. I always keep hard boiled eggs in my fridge. When I need something they're a great high protein, low carb standby. And they're also very satisfying. Glad you're eating good, Chookwagn! I have an app that reminds me to drink through the day...

Danke! How's everyone else doing? What are you doing?

That's the plan! :lau

Today is the day I weigh myself. I lost 3.4 pounds. And my BMI came down .7. Still can't see any difference in my body from the pictures I take each week but I definitely feel stronger. I can get up from an easy chair now without using my hands on the armrests.

Yay for you, Chookwagn! I sometimes think we forget to celebrate holding it together when it's tough. There are many kinds of success and remembering which to congratulate yourself for is important and can be critical to not getting discouraged.

I'm managing. I hit most of my goals and came close where I didn't quite manage it. Tomorrow will be harder. It's my husband's birthday. I'm making him a black-bottomed banana cream pie. I'm not the least worried about being tempted. I'll be fine there. But it and the rest of the cooking...
