Weight Loss and Exercise #8

Bless you Tart Cherry, hope the pain is not too bad with the stress fracture. You’ve got a lot to cope with at the moment.

I went out for a faster paced 10k this morning which I coped well with. My adult son is doing the half marathon too and it’s his first, he’s fit and healthy and used to shorter distances but I noticed he wasn’t increasing his distance runs, I was a bit concerned so we did talk about it. I think he finds it difficult to fit them in with his job and other activities, but he’d probably struggle on the day if he doesn’t train with distance even if he is fit. Mothers never stop worrying!

Anyhow he took heed and as I ran back I was delighted to see him running towards me, I always casually glance at other runners but rarely know them and he looked comfortable and in the zone. We high fives each other. It made my day!

Unfortunately I’ve come down with a migraine since, so been resting up.

I pushed myself too much and I need to cool it with how much I'm doing.
I did 15 squats with my ketlleball
20 reps with my weights both up and sideways so 49 total
And 20 crunches with my bosu ball and 20 reverse crunches

My knee was hurting badly so I didn't bother wirh the ab roller

Today I'm just resting because I am in some legjt pain from these last 3 days.but I've eaten decently. I've had about 830 caIories, 113 carbs, and 22 grams of protein.

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to these forums and haven’t posted much yet. I’ve just been exploring what all the forums here have to offer. I’m wondering if this is the thread where I can ask about weight loss injections? Does anyone here take them? I’m starting a health journey and looked online at my insurance coverage. As it turns out my insurance will cover Ozempic with pre-authorization. I just read about side effects and the weight returning after stopping the injections. I’m asking here because I’m trying to get reviews from people who actually take it before I take the plunge. I don’t trust google to answer all my questions. If anyone can provide any insight or even just a general opinion I would appreciate it. Thank you.

I'm on Ozempic. You inject once a week. It's great! I've lost 13kg so far. Definitely worth it.

I am also on weight loss injections and recommend them. Make sure you persevere through the initial adjustment period, because there are often side effects that will go away as you keep injecting. I also recommend that you obtain a prescription for Zofran before you start weight loss injections; this way, if you develop nausea, a frequent side effect, you will have Zofran to take for system abatement. I didn't have nausea on these injectables, but I occasionally get nausea as part of a migraine or anxiety, and Zofran helps very well. Zofran is a tasty orally disintegrating tablet.

Disco,

Thank you - I am not in pain when I just go through my day. The pain that led me to seek my podiatrist's advice would flare up after long walks, and I limit walking to the absolutely necessary now.

I bought the sneakers he recommended and now wear them all the time, with sturdy graphite insoles I still have from the last steas fracture. The idea is that the feet would not bend all day long, placed on those hard insoles.

What I did today:

Two sets of Australian exercises and two sets of calf stretches that I now need to do daily to help rehabilitate the foot injury and then indefinitely to help prevent more injuries in the future.

I am back to being able to do the Australian exercises just fine. I do not understand why occasionally my muscles down there get weaker and then I regain my strength.

Checking in. No exercise laterly. Very sick with a stomach bug.

Get well soon blueberry!

I woke up early and I did 40 crunches and 40 reverse crunches. 30 or 40 reps with my weigIts both up and sideways. So like 60-80 reps total. 10 squats, and 500 reps with my ab roller.

I don't have anymore pain from working out. It was just that one dag

I was about 1.5 pounds less today.

Everyone here, my daughrter jsut told me I went int o psychosis, and they takeing me jto hospital if no sleepign, throwing up meds costant. Sro0ry for typeos still too tired to type, cheking my posts!

I do not use scales. Ditch your scales and get your fat measured monthly...focus on fat loss, not weight loss. You've got to figure that "muscle is the engine in which fat is burned." I've been studying this stuff since 1993:

I'm still too exhausted to exercise, but I'm doing so, so, so much better. I'm not psychotic or manic. I'm a bit hypomanic still. I'm sleeping and keeping my meds down again

Checking in. Called the imaging center this morning for cancellations and was seen today. Suspected lobular breast carcinoma on the left side. The radiologist said that what she sees on imaging now definitely was not present on the Dec 2024 mammogram. So if it is cancer, we have caught it early. Next step is a biopsy, on Thursday, and then 1-2 weeks to receive its results. But already a breast surgeon was recommended to me (both by the radiologist and the ultrasound technologist). I will see the OB-GYN who ordered the MRI on Wed and ask for a referral to the breast surgeon, so that if biopsy shows cancer, I can be aggressive with treatment. I understand that the initial treatment can be successful, but with this particular cancer, it can lie dormant and reappear somewhere else in the body in 10 years. So it would be like living on a volcano. But I keep telling myself that in 10 years, science and treatment options will be more advanced than now, and there might be more hope. This is definitely all a new territory for me.

Did not do any exercise today except for walking around the hospital from one office to another.

I have not exercised recently.

I am letting everyone here I am doing a bit better but am so, so tired I can't even drive b/c I can't focus enough. I am not caught up on posts, let alone hugging anyone.

When I go into blackout psychosis, the tipping point (psych ER hospital) is throwing up constantly & having diarrhea. It may not have even been a stomach virus I had! Could have just been mania/psychosis!

Recovery from that for me is SLOW!

Thinking of you both Tart Cherry and blueberry.

It shouldnt be anybodys job here to have to hug people. Thats too much like work.

If youre not getting hugs, like ANY result, examine what you are doing.

Possible trigger (ED stuff, exact weight loss, bmi, weight, you get it).


I missed one Cymbalta pill and it caused everything. I didn't have a bacterial or viral infection.

Struggling with racing, cycling thoughts, mania, forgetfulness, life at this point. Probably will post a lot in short stints to be able to decrease typos & grammar errors.

I still am quite nauseous even though I took a Zofran pill an hour or 2 ago. That does not help matters.

I also realized that if I don't eat & keep down an absolute ton of water, liquid, and food daily I cannot even function. And forgetting Cymbalta did everything.

I feel like I'm eating so much right now, and I have not had lunch yet. I'm going to start having my daily avocado again, and I hope that helps. Everything lately has toyed w/ my ED thoughts.

Are you talking about me?

The caffeine pills are helping a lot with my soda and coffee cravings. Today I mostly just had water.

I'm not in the mood to eat but I did have some rice pudding and a cup of flan.

I'm not in the mood to work out and with how many calories I ate its not good.

I ordered this mini stair step thing from Amazon. I can not stand the treadmill and I really liked the stairmaster when I was going to the gym

Haven’t lost any weight in 2 weeks. I need to up my game.

No, im talking about anybody. Itz the scientific method. Experiment, analyze results, adjust process.

I get paranoid with people who don’t hug my posts and hug everyone elses. Like if I knew what I did wrong I’d try to fix it. But hey I’m just me on the forums. What you see is what you get.

One of my healthy photos. It is for dinner tonight.
