Good morning! Did anyone else sing that Meme or was it just me?
Today is the five year anniversary of my surgery. Oh how things have changed. I'll bore the hell out of you at the end of this post with before and afters. I do them every year. Today, the scale sad 122.1. Last year on Oct. 29 it said 121.5. I have worked really hard at physical fitness and strength this year. I'm proud of my stability in size and weight. I love pulling out winter stuff and finding it still fits. In the old days, it was new clothes for every season to accommodate my ever growing size. Now it's new clothes because I want them.
100 percent on accountability yesterday. A 3.5 mile walk. Good food choices in excellent serving sizes. All water, all day. 422 move calories, 55 minutes of exercise, 10,239 steps. I'm up and dressed for the gym today. I'll do weights and treadmill and I'm still on the fence about the Zumba style class.
We are having date day this afternoon. Going to see Conclave and have dinner or lunch out.
QoTD: I still try to figure out how I have a 42 year old kid when I'm only about 38. I definitely tire more easily and have less patience then when I was actually young. But I feel awesome most of the time. Things hurt like hell (looking at you, hip) but I move so much more and engage in so many more opportunities. I am loving my life.
Bites today.
More leftovers for sure.
B: Shakshuka
L: chicken on protein bread with cheese. Protein chips if I am starving and have room.
D: out. or switch with lunch.
I'll have yogurt with mix ins and jerky or more chicken if needed. We don't do movie snacks or popcorn so no threats there!
Peace ya'll!

I sometimes take Tylenol when the pain is high. I used to just try to tough it out. Now I know it is better to take something when the pain is not too intense than to wait until it is unbearable.

Morning gang. I got home over the weekend and have been catching up on all the things. I'll post some pictures as I get organized. I saw the doctor and had some more x-rays and the bandage off my hand yesterday. They seem happy with it. And late yesterday I got the authorization to turn our solar power on, which made me happy. I've spent too much time looking at the app and watching all the numbers.
QOTD: I don't feel old inside, but I sure do outside. Aches, pains, and things not working like they used to. It's all part for the course, but I'm not happy about it. I can still do everything I want and need to do, but it's not as easy.

G'morning all!
I knew it would happen and it did. I opened the Costco size bag of chocolate and pulled out two. The win is I pulled out two instead of eating until I was sick. I just have to resist and not go into that room any more until Thursday. Wish me luck.
PSA for chips and savory lovers. Have you tried the elote corn chip dippers from Trader Joe's? I'm not a big chips person but holy moly this is sooo good. It has some spicyness to it and it's very crunchy. I tried it yesterday after a long time this bag had been sitting in my pantry, and the only reason I tried it was to distract myself from the chocolate. 10/10.
QOTD:I feel younger inside, I def feel more fit than I have ever been. On the outside it is what it is, but I think it's mostly due to all the workouts that I feel the hip or other minor pains. On the days I don't workout there is no pain, so I guess it's the price to pay in order to have a longer moblie and pain free life.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- Rotisserie chicken
- Protein iced coffee, elote chips w/salsa, 2 fun size chocolates
- Protein icecream - cookies n' cream
- E: strength training
Happy taco Tue!

Oh, I do get brain fog sometimes. I used to be able to remember everything now I find me slipping a little in that area also.
