Weekly Weigh In 2020: Week 31, August 3, 2020

Weekly Weigh In will go live every Monday, and it will share how I'm doing health-wise, and it will give me more accountability with my health.

Here is my thirty-first weigh in of 2020:

1. The Selfie: The selfie is me as of today, August 3, 2020.

2. Weight: My weight is went is down about 3 pounds.  I am thrilled, and hoping the weight loss continues.

3. Health News: I averaged just over 9,000 steps per day last week.  I am hoping to get at least my 6,000 steps per day average this week, and will do so as long as I can be out and about.

I'm feeling pretty good heart/health-wise, but I'm having issues with some mild seasonal allergies (ragweed is my nemesis) and with my back/hips, especially on my left side.  I was not able to get into the chiropractor last week, and that caught up to me by the weekend.  I had a really hard time getting around yesterday, but I am a little better today.  I am hoping to get into the chiropractor tomorrow or Wednesday which should help the back/hip issue tremendously.

4. Diet News:  I am doing pretty good, but I'm still working on variety.  It's slow going, but I'm getting there.  I always feel better when I eat right for me, and I feel terrible when I don't, so that's good motivation to stay away from the bad-for-me stuff.  All in all, I can't complain in the diet compartment.

5. Other News: Please continue to pray for my middle kid.  For 10 months now, he has been dealing with an unknown health issue.  He appears to be stable (as long as he takes his medication), but we'd like to be able to figure out what the source of the issue is so that he can go off the medication if at all possible.  His doctor's appointment went well, and we have a lift in the works for the leg length discrepancy, and she is pleased that he is doing well.  There are no immediate plans to see a specialist (other than the chiropractor), but we discussed scenarios that would make that necessary.  If you'd like more of a current update/rundown on his condition, you can click here.

As to our week, it is going to be a little busy, but hopefully not too bad.  We still need to get the water/washer issue fixed, but it still isn't emergent at this point, so that's good.  Please pray that we will be able to get ahold of the right people so that we can get the water fixed sooner than later (we're having trouble getting ahold of them, and I'm sure COVID-19 has something to do with that).  Thanks!

How are you doing?  Do you have anything you want to weigh in with?  Any health progress or goals you want to share?  If so, please leave a comment below (with a link to your post, if you have one and wish to leave it), and I'll respond ASAP.

Have a great week!
