Spent the night at my parents' lakehome this week with my kids and dh. The first evening dh and I went canoeing. It was so lovely and peaceful. The lake was very still and the sun was starting to set and I again gave thanks for the changes in my life that enable me to say yes! to canoeing instead of thinking, the canoe will ride too low in the water on my end, I can't sit comfortably, my knees will hurt.... the next day we and the kids spent part of the afternoon playing on the speedboat. Even with the saggy skin I felt so comfortable in my swimsuit (okay full disclosure it does have a skirt, so maybe it is an old lady suit but I think it's cute

Hot Tamale I can't believe how fast you recuperate from really tough medical stuff. If I had just recently spent time in the ICU I don't know that I would be back to work so soon. You're amazing.

Happy August!
My little girl turns 18 tomorrow. Sigh. Well she's in Japan right now so it's already her birthday. I need to order balloons. She'll be back Saturday.

Busy busy busy time for me! And I have a new office mate so not so much logging on from work! At least for a bit.
![]() Setting my intentions for August... Weight back into the 140's. Log 40 miles running for the month. Stabilize back to a clean, more whole foods woe.

Nope you aren't, and since I only weigh once a week now, I would have totally done it!

But thank you. I had another ultrasound of my elbow area - I didn't realize phlebitis is actually a clot, but in a more superficial blood vessel (is that how to say it, Heather?), and my blood doc was worried about specifically where it was and talked about the potential for it to travel (generally this is not a concern)... I left there slightly satisfied, but mostly worried...Just frustrated with feeling so cruddy still. In any case, it is the weekend, and I am all about resting! I've walked 4350 steps so far today...Might get to 5K.

Welp my little girl arrived safely home ... got her at EWR and then got home by 630ish. Ordered a pizza ...she was very happy to have real pizza again haha
I had to wake her up around 1/130 today so she could acclimate to the jet lag, et al. Sam was out in the pool swimming. I haven't been allowed to go in the pool for two weeks since the op sx I had two weeks ago. So tomorrow I get to go in yay! Watching Orange is the New Black. Last Episode of the season is next. I may have to watch it again! ![]()

These are some pics from the Splash Dash 5k the other weekend (was it last weekend?). I kept looking at them and focusing on the roll of fat over my waist... until it hit me. That's my runner's fanny pack. I wear a SpiBelt on runs to hold my phone (gps tracking for speed and distance as well as music) and key fob.
Now of course all I can see are my wierd thighs. That finish line pic is my sprint to finish at just over 7 min/mile. Yeah, that's NOT sustainable for me! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

You look awesome, Heather!
I'm checking in, too.... I feel like I've been on vacation for most of the last month... which isn't entirely true, but we have taken a LOT of long weekends. I weighed last night for the first time in a month, and I'm down a few more... which I like... but for me, the challange is to be more active now. My doc wants me to work in more "normal" food (ie grains, fruits, etc) but when I eat the carbs, I feel like crap. So more protein it is! I've been having back pain like crazy... my chiro says it's because of my weight loss; my body is trying to adjust to it... did anyone else have this issue?

Back pain - yes! Especially during my active loss periods. Started high, then low, then high, then both... when my weight stabilized it pretty much went away shortly afterwards. Your center of gravity is changing. Your body will adjust.

I went to see Les Miserables with dh, dd and 3 of her friends last night. The girls have been a part of our lives since they were toddlers and preschoolers, and now they are in college. What a pleasure to spend the evening with them

Samantha just turned 18 Friday lol. She got her tongue pierced. Not the worst thing, but it's just dumb imho.
Otherwise she can be okay, she's a teenager, a senior and is strong willed (I don't know WHERE that came from lol).
