Hi to lucylee, Nancy and Harmony. Glad to hear about all the smart exercising.
Tough to be very healthy while at hospital with my mom, supposedly sleeping in that teeter-totter they call a recliner, but I'm walking "rounds" of circling hallway with good posture when I get the chance, doing back stretch in the room even though it seems to invite a knock at the door as soon as I try to get it in! Trying to eat the sensible choices from the tray and then supplement with salad from cafeteria there. Was on top of my water consumption but then it got away from me somehow, probably drinking that hospital coffee trying to stay awake. At one point, I got pretty sleep-deprived and was not making good personal decisions. Better now.
On morning of the 4th I had dropped that one last April half-pound plus the first May half-pound.
So, progress on mini goals toward 8 pound loss by June:
√ February 2 pounds (reached March 12)
√ March 2 pounds (reached April 1)
√ April 2 pounds (reached May 4)
May 2 pounds (one-quarter of the way there)
Also, of all things, fighting a poison ivy rash that first showed up on skin at hospital (?)and which I didn't recognize at first, didn't have dh to help identify or help with good decision making. Sigh.
If you don't believe in miracles, you're not being realistic.
