Too many steps
I've been trying to let my foot heal, but I did over 5,000 steps today. I walked to the clinic and back, and around the clinic when I was volunteering. My foot doesn't hurt now, but I do have the pain cream on. I was good and soaked my foot in epsom salts and put on my pain cream. I cooked pork chops for dinner, but they were mostly bone :( Oh well... what can you do? I get all my meat at the meat market because they have such great deals. I'm so tired...
Tomorrow is a big day! Geo goes to see the surgeon to see if he's a candidate for the gastric bypass surgery. He has to be. He's 6 foot 7 inches and 560 pounds (what can I say? I'm a chubby chaser!). He's my giant teddy bear. He needs to lose about 250 pounds. When I was at my biggest (280 pounds) I qualified for the surgery, but I knew I could do it on my own. And I have. I'm down to 213.0 pounds now and heading lower. I have about 50 more pounds to go to get to my goal weight. When I hit 211 that means I'm halfway there. 208 is the lowest I've been in years. Then, we got a car and money and ate fast food every day. We wasted tons of money on junk. I ballooned to 267 pounds. Now I'm trying to get back down, and hit Onderland (like Wonderland, but with One instead, symbolizing under 200 pounds) I'm just focusing on that for now... Then once I hit Onederland I will set a new goal. it's just that this is such a big goal.
Not only does Geo see the doctor tomorrow, it's our 9 year anniversary! We are going out to eat to celebrate. Hopefully Geo gets some good news and is happy when we go out to eat.

Wowww so many good things happening! Great journal! WTG on the 5000 steps ... i have just started tracking steps too.... ive been struggling with arthritis in my one knee so im only to 5000-6000 steps on a daily basis and i used to be able to do ALOT more without any problems so i can understand how hard it is to keep trying to get back to where you were.
I hope Geo gets good news tomorrow that would be such a great help to him! CONGRATS on 9 year anniversary that is a great accomplishment and something to be VERY PROUD OF!

I am tracking steps too and right now struggling to get 5000 a day. Have you thought about tracking your steps on the spreadsheet we have in the One Calorie at a Time group? It is a great motivator!
Happy Anniversary! I will be sending the good vibes for Geo and his OK for the surgery.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!! 9 years is a really long time!
