Jenai, I just survived the drive-thru at McD's. Black coffee and come home for brunch.
I have work done on my car this morning. I was late getting up so I didn't have time to weigh, have breakfast, or even stop for coffee. I went straight to the mechanic, popped a bottle of water out of the back and went for a morning walk from there. 2.1 km and I still had a wait when I got back.
I got my coffee on the way back and my first food of the day at 11:30 am.
Multigrain bun with 1 oz Swiss cheese.

Hope, let us know how the acupuncture goes.
Annette, good for you on getting out walking while you had to wait. That was a really excellent choice...I don't think I'd have ever made the same one. Good for you!
Hello Mike!
I survived the mental struggle of the drive thru again this morning. I didn't have the best day. We had pancakes for dinner, which I normally don't partake in, but I was too lazy to make myself an alternative. And I had 3 cookies. My calories were higher than I would like, but not as high as yesterday. I'm feeling better about things today because this evening I'm showing a slight loss. woohoo!
Hope everyone is doing well. Keep up with the good, and let go of the bad.

Hey,Mike, hiya slacker. Tell your middle DD I was thinking of her; it's the Jewish New Year and she reads Holocaust lit and seems to have an interest in the culture.
Acupuncture is keeping me going. I have been going through spells of having serious back pain for 4 months at a time, making me a little crazy, not gonna lie. So lucky to have ways to help, even if only for a little while. I went to a pain management doc for shots and he said that no matter what, I would always be in pain. I'm gonna prove him wrong!!!!

I have piano at 9 and doctor at 10.
Depending on the result at the doctor, I will get in my car and drive:
I will be away from the scale for a few days. I also don't have internet. I don't own a cell phone new enough to handle hot spots, so the only access would be if I brought my laptop and gave up my morning walk to sit in a café. Not willing to do that.
See you when I get back.

- Home if the results are poor
- For 6 hours if the results are good

Hope, you may have said in the past, but why does your dr say you will always have pain? I hope you prove him wrong!!!
Annette, hope your results are good.
Debbie, when I first got the 21 day fix I thought the container system was flawed because people don't eat compartmentalized like that all time. For me the exercise was too difficult too.
Made another "step towards recovery" today lol. I have 3 options of turning toward home, 2 of which do not go by the McDonald's. Lately I have been taking the turn that goes by McD's and then arguing with myself about not stopping. So today, without even really thinking about it, I took one of the other options and didn't go by it this morning. Progress is good.
Yesterday afternoon the scale was showing a slight loss, but now this morning I've got a gain again. I'll have to weigh a little later and see if it goes down (it usually does mid-afternoon). I hope it does!
i hope everyone has a really good day today.

My first chance online.
I walked 1 mile this morning... for a great cup of coffee. I arrived at 7:30, they opened at 8 am. Tomorrow morning I am parking over here and then walking for one mile so I can have a coffee after.
My test results. My heart was down to 40% efficiency back in July. Now it is at 72%. I went on my road trip.
