QOTD-My last BMI was 30.7 at 181.4, I've gained about 5 lbs since then and not measured it again. But at least I'm not hiding from the scale anymore.
I had a fairly productive weekend. I got my outdoor umbrella, and clothes line put in the shed. I also put the cover over the table and chairs so I'm pretty much winterized for outdoors. Sunday I made it to the nature park and did 1.75 miles and 7486 steps and it stayed dry for my walk. Lots of falling leaves. We're supposed to get an atmospheric river the next few days so I'll try to get a workout in between the raindrops.
I've had plantar fasciitis and there is nothing more painful. The one thing that I did learn is to stretch my calves, and roll my feet on a tennis ball or I have a tool for that. The custom orthotics worked too, I don't use them any more. I don't wear flats, my everyday shoes are Merrell Jungle Mocs. They have a ton of support and may not be pretty but I haven't had a recurrence of the PF. I was also really overweight then, which didn't help. I did cortisone shots, PT, a boot and all the rest. It was a miserable time in my life and I don't want to go back there.
It was a good weekend for football, both my teams won and the Ducks are now ranked #1. Playoffs maybe?
Have a great day everyone!

She took a cast of my foot and ordered it so it was specific to my foot and my needs. I was so happy with it that I ordered another one. And the good thing is when the plastic part gets thin, due to use, you can just take it to a cobbler and have them replace it. The main part under your heel is made of a harder material and doesn't thin out.

Your happy weight is where you feel good and in my opinion, more important than BMI.

Double capp, yaassssss! All the coffee. I went to a podiatrist way back when and got sme custom orthotics, but they were so thick and didn't fit right in any shoes. I imagine they have improved since then. I may do it now just to have them, even if this doesn't stick around.

I struggle with that choice too. I'm happy where I am - I feel pretty good, but I know I would feel better at a lower weight and with less belly fat.

Good Monday morning everyone. We start our second plant outage this week and hopefully it will be noneventful. The tours went well last week, and we had almost 100 people come through to see how the plant works.
The weekend was pretty nice. Went through some clothes and donated a couple of big bags of stuff I haven't worn in years. Broke down my little greenhouse and stored it away until Spring. The garlic bed is ready to be planted and I have a few more things to do in the big garden to close it out for the season.
QOTD: My BMI is currently at 33.4 :( no one to blame but myself. The lowest I had gotten my BMI was 27.4 which had me at 180lbs and I felt pretty good at that weight. I guess I should weigh 160 or below to be in a healthy BMI range. I'll just keep plucking away day after day making small changes here and there and sticking to the changes.
B: 2 hard boiled eggs and Reishi mushroom tea
L: Kale and chicken soup
D: Baked cod with spinach
Have a nice day!!!

Weighing everyday is key for me, too. I need to know, good, bad or ugly and to post it here. I spent to much time hiding which just lead to more regain. I went through a protein pancake phase early on. A scoop of protein, an egg, a little water and a little baking powder. I would add some cinnamon, vanilla and sweetener and you basically have cake. My downfall for pancakes is butter - I want a little pancake with my butter so I had to stop.

G'morning all!
Oh Yma, I'm joining you on maxi coffee needs. Be very careful with plantar fasciitis and if possible get one of those special soles for your shoes. My podiatrist made me custom made soles that I use when I jog. It's worth the time going to the podiatrist, and insurance covers it.
Had a nice relaxing weekend. Weather was absolutely gorgeous, and the sunshine put us all in a good mood. Yesterday I was supposed to have brunch with my boys' moms' group but one by one they dropped out due to various reasons. There were only two of us left and we usually reschedule when there is not a quorum, but decided to meet up anyway. Loved our one on one breakfast and long walk on the beach.??
QOTD: at the moment my BMI is 23.8. For the longest time I hovered around 24.5 and kept telling myself I didn't go under the knife and rerouted my stomach to be so close to being overweight again. It's a constant daily battle for me. I have to be vigilant and make sure I don't eat/graze on carb and sweets. My ideal weight is between 140-142 and I'm very close to be back in that range. My main strategy is to work out 6 days a week, not weigh myself every day (it messes with my head) and being super vigilant with protein/carb ratio.
My meals yesterday:
- Double cappuccino + 1/2 pumpkin muffin
- Rotisserie chicken
- Protein iced coffee
- 1 Orange + 1/2 Barebells bar
- E: rest day
Happy start of the week!
