Well I made it one day with out alcohol.(Alcohol free = AF)
For lunch I had a turkey with bacon and tomatoes and a

side of steamed chard. I ate a lot at dinner but it was sort
of healthy:lentil soup with carrots and pieces of pork roast.

But the really big news is that I made it to the gym.
I had a half an hour to "work out" before the planet
fitness gym closed.
I did 2 minutes on the stair master and about had a

heart attack. I really want to work on my thighs
they are so weak. My heart was just pounding

at 2 minutes....I think I will go back to that again
as it really gets my heart pumping quickly. and it
works out what I am aiming for thigh muscles

exercises. I then went on the tread mill with

7% incline that got my heart pumping a bit I

think I did that 10 minutes. Then I went to the
bicycle, had to have the guy show me how to

adjust the seat....I felt stupid but they are here

to help us. so I rode the bike for a few minutes.
then looked for the leg press the mother of thigh

muscles machine I thought I found one but I

could not use it. did not have time to ask

because they were closing. walked right out at 10 pm.
I feel great that I went.

And proud of myself for making it one day AF.

I mixed 8 oz of grapefruit juice with 12 oz of le croix seltzer drink. This will be my go to special
drink that only has 120 calories.
I liked the pineapple one best. But am out of it so will need to pick up
that in a couple of days. Jeff is out with friends he called me to tell me which I appreciated.
I am going to the gym to do more stair masters and bike riding.
The scale is already going in the right direction.
yay!

[bizi]

at level 3 for 2.5 minutes this time,
progress. rode on the bike for 20 minutes
heart rate right around 120 bpm
Which is aerobic at my age.

I kept my heart rate up to 130. Ate a
good dinner.off of whole foods hot food bar.

very good. had a turkey and bacon wrap

which was very good for lunch and a side

of roasted brocoli.

I found a new non alcoholic beer!!!
It is partak brewing company, a craft IPA

and only 10 calories.

So it meets both my requirements,

low calorie and non alcoholic beer.

It is like an oduls.
But tastes better, Yay!
I bought some diet ginger beer.
It looks good. and my pineapple mixer with
lacroix seltzer, that is 120 calories so will

save that for a special occasions.
Now when I am obsessing about drinking a
beer now I can drink a fake one.
This is a 12 pack with 4 different flavors.
now I don't have to suffer.I have been thinking

I would drink maybe tonight or tomorrow.

But I did not so that makes it a week.I made it!!!!

I forgot to tell you that we are going to new orleans this weekend to see james taylor with jackson brown concert, spend one night then home on sunday . should be fun.

[Victoria'smom]

Have Fun!

[bizi]

Thanks MM!

good dinner tonight went out for sushi
and had some great miso soup and
seaweed salad which was delicious.
I had a roll of spicy crab crunchy roll.
one roll was plenty the seaweed salad

was huge!

It was good with ponsu sauce think

of it as better soy sauce.
picked up heinican 0.0 beer it taste alright.
I prefer the partak craft brew but I figured
that drinking all 12 cans in 2 days was not

helpful. I was up peeing all night.At dinner
I drank a large glass of water had one heinican
beer before we left for dinner.guzzeled it for the
burn that I like from the carbination. I won't have
any more to drink see if I can't sleep peacefully

thru the night.
I am getting ready to go to the gym.
Wish me luck!

Why do post where you make a new paragraph in the middle of a sentence?

I understand it might be to not have a wall of text, but I find that finishing the sentence and then starting a new one is sufficient. Not trying to be critical I was just wondering why you do that?

Have a good time at the Gym.

I don't make the new paragraphs intentionally. I try to break up the run on long sentences that I find difficulty reading. so i break them down.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will try to do better.

Oh you're fine. . Yeah I do run on sentences too. I tend to use a lot of commas. I used to be really good at writing but now that I'm on sedating meds, I have lost that skill.

I hope you have a good day.

How exciting! I saw James Taylor some years ago and he was just wonderful.

I have injured myself with out knowing what I did.
it feels like my left hip is painful, rather groin is painful I think it is my hip.
I did not do anything abnormal. I just took 4 advil the prescription dose.
I took them around 8pm.
It hurts to put weight on it and if I sit too long it really hurts to stand up again.

I don't see how I am going to be able to work tomorrow. maybe I will go to bed earlier tonight and see how that does.
I hobble when I first start walking and it is hard to walk. Very painful.
what the hello did I do to my self.
very unhappy about this.

How's it feeling today, bizi?

[bizi]

thanks beth!

I saw a chiropractor on tuesday and a vibrationist which was different, I saw her 2 days in a row.

I feel much better, now I am starting to have si joint feelings. and I have pain in between my shoulder blades which could have been from the chiropractor.
I am over weight so he has to use great force to adjust me.
I am supposed to see him tomorrow. I am hoping that I feel better tomorrow.
I am going to start to improve my self. I see if I want to participate with a program to prevent type 2 diabetes. Because I am over weight and lead a sedentary life style I qualify. we would be the first class for this health care group. it might be kind of like weight watchers but free.
If they want me to check my blood sugars daily then I am not going to participate.
so that is saturday.
I am starting on nov 1st monday the whole 30 diet.
no sugar no flour no potatoes no rice, or alcohol or caffeine, nor dairy.
It is pretty much the paleo diet.
This will be a big challenge for me.
Wish me good luck.

Yay! Good for you to take the program!

I wish you all the luck in the world
