That's pretty badass.
I visualized it as my bellyfat going through an old fashioned laundry wringer.
My whole life just flashed before my eyes! I gotta get me a life!

Why are there loud fireworks (that I can’t see)?? Doggo is very not happy about it.

Our wings are not tired.
Exercise is a long game. It doesn't do much for weight loss, and as the weight comes off you should be able to give your hips a break.
My ortho won't permit any weight-bearing exercise for my hips, but I have a full hour of PT that I do every other day that includes the bike for 10 minutes, then a whole bunch of lower body stretches. I do the arm and core machines on alternating days. It surely doesn't help with weight loss as it increases appetite. However, the improvement in stamina and mobility is noticeable. I am still 50 pounds away from being able to do any distance walking on the crap hip, but the shots are helping with that part.

Baseball game?
I start pt for my lower back this week. It gets sore and makes my hips tight and unhappy to walk much distance and I really want to be able to do that when we’re in Wales this fall. I really need to build up my cardiovascular stamina too.

Oh, shoot, I meant to try out a yoga class this morning but I forgot and missed it. I can try again Wednesday night
I did manage to go grocery shopping after getting by for too long on takeout and protein shakes, so that’s something. Although I may have accidentally stolen an avocado. I hope that makes it more delicious.

I have a new climbing partner, yay! (My old one retired from climbing last summer.) So I did an hour on the walls with her this morning, and then 30 minutes on a recumbent bike. And yesterday I went for an easy mountain-bike ride. Gotta get back into condition (although it would be easier if I weighed a bit less, sigh).
