Confession: My hips are sore from my weights yesterday and my run today, I'm in the office alone today sooo I decided that a quick downward dog would be a good idea.... then someone walked in... oooooops.
Awesome!
And sorry, I laughed that someone walked in. That's something that would happen to me too.
That is the specific reason I refuse to do calesthenics in my office/exam room. I can shut the door, but there is always a chance of someone opening it!
Generally I just stay put aside from leaving for water etc, so the fact that I got "caught" is annoying. My stupid tight hips won't stop! Lol0 -

I missed ONE day and had 500 posts to catch up on. What the heck, y'all? (I'm kidding. I don't say "y'all." Northeast/Mid-Atlantic born and bred.)
Confession: Grad classes open today for the next quarter and I can guarantee that some of my gym time is going to suffer during the week. I'll shoot for being extra diligent with my calories to help account for not having the buffer. And maybe I'll do cardio circuits between chapters/assignments.
Complaint: I think I got poison ivy from the gym (one forearm and a little on my back). I haven't been near anything that would have exposed me to it in the time frame necessary for it to show up yesterday, except gym equipment if someone who already had it used said equipment and didn't clean it well. Dang it, people.0 -

YAY! That's wonderful! I'm sure you'll have an awesome time. When are you planning to go?
Less than two months! We're leaving on September 5th, which means we're going to have to spend as many weekends as possible in the Rockies doing day hikes as we'll need to be able to manage 18km days at high altitude. Fortunately we live well about sea level already and have a lot of great mountain hiking nearby.
Now I need to find us a good rainforest lodge for a few days after the hike, too, and start collecting gear. I have almost all the backpacking stuff necessary already but my husband doesn't. Luckily we have a few friends around his height who have offered packs/sleeping bags/etc, so I think we can borrow most of it.0 -
4.5 hours til holidays start. I don't think the clock can move any slower today!0

You are not alone-
I would say today is a new day, but I'm headed for a similar day today- sushi for lunch, then a birthday party. No planned exercise today either! SMH
Tomorrow?!
I was under yesterday...but I most likely won't be today or tomorrow (although I will try!!)...birthday lunch for husband and family get together tomorrow for lunch as well. I can't control myself with yummy restaurant food. Oh well, we can all hop back on the wagon together.
First- I can't control myself at restaurants either!
Second- yes, let's all rally back to it together! The support definitely helps me as I know I'm not alone in the struggle
We got back from my husband's birthday lunch a bit ago...we started with a giant plate of french fries...which I ate a lot of with a ton of ketchup. Then for my lunch, I had three(!) fried avocado street tacos (grilled flour tortillas, fried avocado, kimchi, pineapple salsa, lettuce, and chipotle lime drizzle) and small a serving of chips and salsa. We finished it off by sharing a very large warm brownie sundae...topped with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. So yeah, like I said...I have a hard time controlling myself at restaurants. Haha.
Side note...I'm trying to stay caught up but I'm feeling dizzy and light headed...right when we got to lunch and stopped the car, I felt like it was still moving. Walking in, I felt like I was going to tip over and then off and on throughout the meal, I felt like I couldn't focus my eyes... Got home and tried to nap after putting my son down for his nap and the room was spinning...

Yay!!! We were just talking about Macchu Picchu today at lunch. One of my CWs is planning a trip.
It's making me want to go...0 -
Susieq_1994 wrote: »Guess who can walk today?!
Okay, so it's not exactly walking. I can use my walker or lean on Mr. Susie's arm and walk almost normally for short distances, or I can toddle very, very slowly like a baby just learning to walk by myself for very short distances.
Since I could walk a little, we got to go out to Subway for iftar today! Now I'm exhausted, but it was nice to get out, even if just for a meal.
Also, I was able to stand long enough to weigh myself today, and I've lost 1.1 kilos! That's almost exactly two pounds on the button. That means that I only have 3.1 kilos left to get my Fitbit! That's 6.8 pounds.
Woohoo!!! Yay! for walking and for the loss.

last night I was stressed because my daughter was being a terror so my hubby and I opened a bag of tortilla chips and ate the entire thing in one sitting!
p.s for some reason I'm up 2 lbs today. lol0 -

We are going camping with my 3 brothers and 1 sister and their respective spouses and kids. 10 kids all together. We do it every year. It is lots of fun but I am not gonna lie I am usually ready to come home to some piece and quiet when it is over. It's about a 5 hour drive for me to get there and we are leaving Sunday after I pick Kypton up from the exes.0 -

No, I haven't @crosbylee. @LBuehrle8, is that kind of what it's like for you? What brings it on? I guess I could google. I feel a bit better now..
@kellienw335, yes he's home for about another hour or so. He actually has a funeral to go to...not the best way to celebrate his birthday... and now he's worried about me. 0 -
To everyone going on vacation...Have fun!! I'm jealous!
@Susieq_1994, glad you're walking! Have fun grocery shopping.
@Italian_Buju, come back. I love reading all of your posts! Nobody would ever want to make you feel uncomfortable...
Also, I have never seen OITNB...but I feel like I need to..0 -
@kelly_c_77 for me vertigo makes me feel off balance- it's kind of a hard feeling to explain. Definitely have some type of the spins when I lay down. My doctor told me stress typically can bring on an episode. For me they usually last about a week. Something about an inbalance of things in your ears is why is happens? Who knows, it's just not a fun feeling you'll get up to walk and feel like you have to hold onto something to keep steady.0

That's what it was. I felt like I couldn't get my balance..like I needed to hold on to something so I wouldn't fall over. I didn't even feel comfortable holding my son's hand in the parking lot...like I might pull him down with me if I fell. And my eyes felt all shifty, unable to focus...once we were seated. And the spins so bad once I laid down...as if I had just finished a night of drinking! If this goes on for a week, I will go crazy... 0 -
I didn't count calories yesterday or today (it was starting to feel obsessive). Today I went a bit overboard with a tray from cookout. I ate the fries, most of the vanilla milk shake. I also had a coke.
I had cookout on Wednesday lol! I loooove their barbecue sandwiches!
Hello from page 1227!0 -
Definitely sound like vertigo- they have over the counter stuff you can take but it makes you drowsy so I only take it when I have it and I have no where I need to be. I'm sorry I hope you feel better!

This is sort of a confession. I'm not that good with words. I'm not a quick thinker at all. I'm one of those people that thinks of the perfect thing to say 10 minutes after the conversation is over. Sometimes on here I want to comment but can't think of anything useful to say so I just don't comment or I wait for someone else to say what I'm feeling and say "yeah, me too!" Anyway, the other day I was talking to a coworker and she commented on how good I looked, had I lost more weight, yadda, yadda. (which I'm kinda uncomfortable talking about my weight loss) I mumbled something about "ha, I wish" but she has recently lost some weight too and I didn't even think to say anything to her until I walked away. I felt bad. I'm pretty sure she was fishing for a compliment and I completely blew it, I would have given it to her too cause she looks great but sometimes I'm incredibly self centered.

@Susieq_1994 –yay. I’m glad you can walk again and got to go out for a bit. Congrats on the loss.
@peleroja –I’m so happy that you are able to go on the trip. It sounds like it will be amazing. I’m weird but I would kind of hope to be the only people on the tour haha.
@orangesmartie –Congrats on the weight loss. 67 lbs is AMAZING! Hope things are going ok…
@quiksylver296 –I’m still jealous you are going to the Oregon coast if that makes you feel better.

We really are. They all live relatively close to each other and Kypton and I live about 450 miles away from them so it's a big deal for him when he gets to see his cousins. We haven't seen any of them since January!0 -

-She has been officially and definitely diagnosed with SPD and Anxiety.
-The only treatment for her SPD and (at her age) Anxiety is occupational and behavioral therapy. Unfortunately, we can't afford the therapy, so that can't happen until we get approved for TEFRA (secondary Medicaid for special needs and insurance), but:
-She is being referred to ChildFind (services through the school district), but the county/district we live in is notoriously difficult for getting kids in. We'll have to see what they tell us.
-Doctor also gave us information on some community resources that may be available for us, just depends on if there is anything in Laurens County.
-She scored an 81 on the tests they did yesterday, which puts her right below "average" for her age and development, but the score for "average" runs between an 85-115 (low average-high average) so according to that she's just below which could mean she will be denied TEFRA. Doctor did tell me to be prepared to file an appeal should that happen and she will help us with it.
-She's been having issues with going to sleep for a while now, like fighting sleep and crying at bedtime, and waking up multiple times in a night so we have to start her on melatonin 2 hours before bedtime, because she's so wound up she can't go to sleep (SPD effect). We also have to start her on a fiber regimen, because she has a terrible habit of holding poops (major SPD problem).
-Basically, we have to keep her life as routine and rigid as possible. No potty training, no big changes, just making sure she knows what to expect every day so hopefully it will help alleviate some of her anxiety issues until we can get therapy going. (Needless to say, our plans of "expanding our family" are on hold until further notice since that would obviously be a huge change in her life. Which, if putting that on hold makes her life easier and we can help her, I'm okay with that.)
She's got a long way to go, but we're going to do everything that we can to help her!
I am sorry your daughter suffers with this and your family is going through this things. However, I am glad that she has you because you sound absolutely fabulous as a parent. It seems like there is a lot of love in your household and that is lovely.
Thank you! ❤️ I call her my "fooled you" baby! In 2009 when I was 17, I was diagnosed with degenerative disc disease, a bulging disc, and there are a lot of pinched nerves in my lower back. I was engaged (to a complete waste of space of a person but I won't get into that) at the time and we wanted to have kids after we married when I turned 18, and the doctor told me that having a child would be too difficult with all my problems and that I didn't need to try. So I just figured I'd never get my dream of being a mom and left it alone for awhile. That fiancé and I broke up a short time later, and the next year I reconnected with my now husband and the month after we married we found out I was pregnant with Raelynn. I did have some issues but I did carry her to term and attempted to deliver naturally until I needed a c-section when Raelynn's heart rate shot up too high. She's the child I shouldn't have had, but God has a wonderful sense of humor.
I probably shouldn't be pushing my luck with the idea of another child once Raelynn's SPD and Anxiety issues are under control, but I've always been too stubborn to just walk away from things lol.0
