So my day just took a bounce off the rails. My dad has fallen and hit his head on his porch rail. My husband works five minutes from dad's house and has been dispatched to give me an update.
Parenting my dad is harder than parenting my middle and high schoolers.0 -

Oh, no! Hopefully it's minor.0 -

At 84, I am not sure that anything is truly minor. My dad has a badly scraped knee, but seems to be fine otherwise. He has diabetes, so of course I will be keeping a close eye one his knee. (And wishing I could ground him for going outside without his cane. Stubborn old man.)2 -

When you sleep eat do you try to make meals or just graze?0 -

Still at maintenance for the day, but ouch...
I have come to accept I do not know moderation... peanut butter, sauvignon blanc... all must be kept away from me at all times!
The only thing I find hard to moderate at times still is ice cream.
Will still keep trying to eat a few servings of a pint & not the whole container.
Unless it's Halo Top or Enlightened then definitely eating the whole damn pint.1 -

I was in the low 160's. So demoralizing, depressing, discouraging, distressing, dispiriting... (I went to thesaurus.com, trying to find the right word.
)
I am still sitting in the low 130s. Shall we get this going together???? I am feeling I could do it this time. I'm making a lot of positive progress in a lot of areas...
Hey, I'm nearly 130, can I join? Sick of being stuck!
(Not to mention that I'm imposing on this thread... you all seem to know each other well but you also seem like nice people, so if I'm annoying you please let me know and I will *kitten* right off. )
Oh, not at all! We lost a lot of people along the way, and would love to breathe some new life into this thread with some new folks! Post away!!!!
Sure, Tami and I (and sometimes Mel and Susie) do daily goals. But I haven't been holding to mine or any of my 2017 or even 4Q goals to date. So, my first goal is to get down below 130 by the end of the month. And to walk nightly. That is what took my weight off last time and I have totally lost that drive.
My goal for today is to buy peanut butter and not eat the entire jar. Let’s see how that goes
You got this!0 -

ETA: now her partner in crime has arrived and I left my ear buds at home. How am I going to make it until 3:30?
Bahaha you should have, coupled with the bird.
Love it! 0 -
Yeah, I’m in Russia for one semester and France for another.SoulOfRusalka wrote: »
I am now curled up in bed struggling through Harry Potter in Russian instead of doing homework, or paperwork for next semester, or anything that I should be doing. Oops.quiksylver296 wrote: »SoulOfRusalka wrote: »
This is about where my standards are, too.If I make it through the day without crying or alcohol I'll call it a win. I would add chocolate to that list... but that has already happened.
Unfortunately I have neither chocolate nor alcohol since I chickened out of buying a bottle of vodka today... tomorrow it is!
And chocolate is important and good for recovering from dementor attacks so I think you made the right decision.
I hope you make it through the rest of the day okay too!
SELF-CARE ✨✨✨
I used to read Harry Potter in French or German and pretend that was solid language practice. Are you on a year abroad for a language course? I spent mine in Paris and Austria. Fun memories!
Paris and Austria sound fun!!

I have a foolproof plan for losing weight in the run up to Christmas, but it requires about nine months of prep work.
You don't by any chance plan on losing around the size of a baby from your waist? 1 -

Awwww Well, I'm glad it wasn't worse, any head injury on elderly people worry me.
I suppose it is quite an adjustment for seniors to suddenly have to take orders from their children, even worse if they are stubborn. I'm going to be the most reckless pensioner in my area. Pink rinse, swearing, the works. I'm looking forward to it. 1 -

I'm off work now (hopefully for a full year!) but boy are the annoying late pregnancy symptoms starting to stack up. If I walk more than 200 yards my hips are done for the day. If I accidentally twist at the wrong angle my pubic bone is in agony. Feet are definitely swelling so my shoes no longer fit, and getting regular visits from Mrs Emma Roid, getting deeply uncomfortable Braxton Hicks several times a day. I think this nature's way of making women actually want to give birth just to end all this nonsense. On a positive note, no sign of the rash from hell yet, so fingers crossed I escape that particular joy.
I guess my daily goal would be try not to be a grumpy cow with other people. That will be tough!
Your slmost there! I cant wait to meey baby #2! The rest will pass.2 -
Days goal...be friendly to my boss!2

My dad is okay, but because I didn't want to be away from the house in case I needed to leave, I didn't walk the dog and ended up 90 steps short of my goal yesterday. But my dad is okay and it's a new day and today I will walk the dog. After I go home, bundle up in jeans and a sweatshirt, and change my shoes. 2
-
Well, 90 steps isn't much, I would say that was goal met if I'm honest.
I'm glad your dad is ok though1 -
How many years do you think you'd get for strangling a coworker with their own shoelaces.

This is my last day of purging, I swear to god. I’m saying it here to make it official. I feel like *kitten*. Shaky and scattered and weak and not-here, and I know I’ll feel like this all the time and get used to it quick. My health is already fading, and it was so strong for a few months (it turns out I have a good immune system when I’m not suppressing it, who knew?)
Bulimia is expensive and exhausting and overall just really *kitten* stupid and a waste of time. Every time I let it go for a second everything falls apart.
I have three midterms tomorrow and I can’t wait for it to be over. Then a meeting with our director where we talk about how we’re doing and what our goals were for this point in the semester.
I avoided turning in all physical and mental health paperwork, so she doesn’t know that my goal was simply “don’t literally die”.
I bought vodka so that and music are my socially acceptable coping mechanisms now.2 -
