290... and Memorial Day weekend Posted by Sonali on 5/24/2019, 1:28 pm Well, slowly but surely. I've not been able to SS but I am making better choices when it comes to food. Yesterday for example, I was walking around my block when my nephew called to go get "a snack" at 8pm? Snack? Really? I usually would have jumped for it, but I told him no because I had plans. So when I got home from my walk, I asked my niece to go to the movies with me. We saw Aladdin.. (So good and funny, highly recommend it). Anyway, while at the movies, she asked if I wanted popcorn or icee... again, I would have agreed without thinking but I said no it's too late and I am not a fan of eating while watching a movie so she said we'd get a snack afterwards which we didn't by the way. It seems like food revolves around socializing and hanging out.. Why? Anyway, I am glad the numbers are dropping even though I am eating here and there but again I am thinking twice before I decide if it's a good idea or not. I am also still walking daily and my goal remains the same 15,000 steps before bedtime so I think that's helped me not gain. I need to step it up though if I want better results. This weekend I'll be in Vegas... and I will be surrounded by FOOD... well, hope there's not too much damage when I get back. Have a great Memorial Day and I'll catch up Tuesday!

Whatever happens in Vegas (food wise) does not stay there unfortunately, but it's nothing you can't recover from. Set your mind to accept the consequences and do what is needed to get back on track. Likely that any weight gain will just be water and other "expellables". A few days and you're back. We all need a break now and then. Enjoy!

Happy Memorial Day! Posted by Yvonne on 5/26/2019, 10:26 pm, in reply to "290... and Memorial Day weekend" Hi,Sonali: I have been off and on since I returned from New Orleans Mardi Gras. I know, I know (3 months now). I hope you will better than I am doing when confronted with food in Las Vegas. Pam says that the food will ALWAYS be there!!! And she is right. I'm just trying to get back on track. Good luck in Vegas!!

Re: Happy Memorial Day! Posted by Pam T on 5/27/2019, 3:01 pm, in reply to "Happy Memorial Day!" You have come way too far to not finish this thing! Shake off the recent past missteps and focus on the future. The progress you have made deserves to be honored and protected so take all that strength you have and continue on to your goal. You are so close!

You're right!! Posted by Yvonne on 5/27/2019, 8:54 pm, in reply to "Re: Happy Memorial Day!" I just need to SUCK IT UP!! and just get the job done——NO MATTER WHAT!!

Re: 290... and Memorial Day weekend Posted by Barbara F. on 5/24/2019, 4:15 pm, in reply to "290... and Memorial Day weekend" Slowly surely works. I wish I could walk like that. I went to the gym today, but can't do much. My sciatica pain is unbearable. I do the recumbent bike and weights and also 4 minute workout three times. I am down 40 1/2 161/2 to get my hip surgery. One day at a time. Today I am hungry. Between 4 and 8 is the worse. Have a great time in Vegas.

Ginger tea Posted by Sonali on 5/24/2019, 9:39 pm, in reply to "Re: 290... and Memorial Day weekend" Helped me with sciatic nerve pain. I used to have it very bad. It would hurt to sit or walk and traveling was painful as I had to move from side to side to find a comfortable spot. Anyway, where I do yoga they recommended I drink this tea religiously and I did for a year and to this day (knock on wood as it's been 2 years) I am PAIN FREE. Highly recommend it.

Re: Ginger tea Posted by Barbara F. on 5/27/2019, 6:18 pm, in reply to "Ginger tea" Where do I get this and or how do I make this? I am in agony.

Re: Ginger tea Posted by Pam T on 5/27/2019, 3:09 pm, in reply to "Ginger tea" I've not heard of this before Sonali. I'll have to get some for my husband. He deals with arthritis. I assume it is an anti-inflammatory? I used to get sciatic pain all the time. Low back and nerve pain down my legs. Horrible! I discovered it was due to my broken down old mattress. I got a Temperpedic and never had it again.
