Good morning
Much to catch up on. Just briefly scanned the posts.
Mo, my parents got married on St. Patrick’s day. Happy Birthday to Jim.
Amy, I’ve never heard of Lucky Charm pancakes.
Debbie, yay on the row machine.
I did get on the tm yesterday for 15 minutes. I am so out of shape. Ugh 😩

Good morning! So I kind of went on a short binge yesterday but seem to have it out of my system now and definitely ready to eat healthy today. I guess I just got frustrated because my weight was up this week and I have no idea why. I had been really really great on my diet and yet stuck at a pound higher all week. But binging certainly won't help. Fortunately I did make a huge green salad and a vat of chili (I use extra lean organic hamburger and double all the veggies) Yesterday so have healthy choices for the week. Although because of yesterday's snow I didn't make it to the grocery store so am low on fruits and veggies.

Good morning! Since tomorrow supposed to be seriously snowy, when I went to the gym this morning I did arms and legs weight machine. Plus did 20 minutes of rowing instead of 15. I figure it won't be safe to drive tomorrow. Fortunately I have both a TM and SuSu's recumbent bike for tomorrow's exercise. And, of course, PT everyday. SUCH a drag but SO helpful!
Amy, weekends are hard for me too!
Waving Hi! to Mo and Brenda!

Good morning! Roads weren't clear yet this morning, so I didn't make it to the gym. I don't know if I'll get a chance to go later today, I'm stuck in a meeting.
Brenda, we got around 10 inches here in Syracuse. They've already got the roads clear now. While the storm's going on, we were grounded but now it's business as usual. This is pretty much our only real storm this winter, which is weird! That's 3 years now in a row that we've had wimpy winters. Although this year I'm not complaining! I only missed one PT appointment due to weather and that was in December. I was really concerned about getting around after a knee replacement in a Syracuse winter but it really hasn't been a problem.
Amy, WTG on the TM, keep up the good work!
It's starting to get easier for me on the bike and the TM. I think this week will be my last PT appointment, I'm doing great on my own so the PT suggested I could probably stop coming in since I've been doing the exercises on my own. But this week is the first week that the TM wasn't a real struggle and I'm doing the weight machines and rowing machine at the gym without issues so I guess it IS time. I can always schedule another PT session if I have a problem. This knee replacement was definitely the right decision for me!
