PREACH1 -
Had to do several visits to the pet shop today. Our Betta fish has been out of sorts, not eating and has something wrong with the back of him. After loads of photos and a water test the fish lady decided our Cherry Barbs are attacking the Betta at night. Looks like another tank it be appearing in the future.
Too late for Oliver. Found him dead wedged behind the filter tonight. 😢 I was going to get him a new tank next week after payday. Who knew fish bullying would lead to suicide? 🙁5 -

Same. I've never held a gun or seen one close up, other than when a police person had one - and that's rare! Most coppers in the UK don't carry firearms. You can probably guess my stance on gun control but I think we're living in two very different cultures. Who knows what I'd think if I'd grown up in the USA. It seems like utter madness to me.0 -

I don't think I could live in a place where I needed a gun of my own to feel safe.1 -
I definitely don't need a gun to feel safe. I feel safe almost 100% of the time. The fact I carry a gun does not change that one way or the other.4

This. I live in a rural area and am out on my own a lot. When seconds count, the police are 15-20 minutes away. Plus, they're not going to come kill a coyote for me. My kids are big enough to defend themselves from a coyote now, but they weren't always.
P. S. My brother shot a rabid raccoon not too long ago. Life in my rural mountains really is different.1 -

This I understand, my uncle is a farmer so has guns. We don't have any large predators in the UK so it's not an issue. I suspect they aren't overrun with bears or coyotes in Manhattan either!0 -
Moving on because I know this debate could run and run, I've been reading up on body positivity and fat shaming and realising how even subconsciously 'fat' has become a word with so many negative synonyms, when that shouldn't be.
Being fat does not make a person undesirable or unworthy or foolish. I'd like to think I don't believe that of others, but I know I've thought it about myself on a bad day. It's understandable, society and the media conditions us to feel that way, but I'm learning to identify it and stop myself.
So my confession is I'm trying to change my mindset before I change my lifestyle. I probably still want to lose some weight just because I know from experience my own body works a little better when it's a little lighter than it is now, but I'm trying not to attach any emotional strings to that process.
Easier said than done!5 -
After getting knocked out with that cold, I've been having a hard time getting back into the swing of things. I have set my alarm to get up early and work out, and just cant bring myself to do it. Too sleepy. I'm not sure if it's because I got out of the habit for a week, or if (even though I feel fine) my body is still recovering a bit. I'm contemplating going back to evening workouts.. But the mornings are just so much more convenient to my schedule. (Provided I can drag my kitten out of bed). I guess I'll have to drag myself out by my hair, and stumble into the gym to get it done, lol.
Edit: I even set one of those alarms that makes you solve puzzles to shut it off... I figured out a loophole to get more snoozes... I gotta get this under control before I get way out of habit. 3 -

I would do the less convenient evening workouts for a few days, then swap back into mornings. I have trouble with getting up early when I have been sick, it is the last sign of recovery that I stop hitting snooze.2 -
Speaking of sick, holy cannoli I am in pain. My gallstone is trying to move. It's awful. 6/10 pain right now and worse when I move. I had to do a fast stop because someone pulled out in front of me driving today and I cried real tears. I am going to bed, but if I disappear this is why.
(if you noticed me missing from this week's fitbit hustle, it's because I can't imagine stepping much... Or caring.)6 -

Thanks. That will probably be what I'll do. Just doing something is probably better then the nothing I'm doing now! Maybe I'll get some Yoga in tonight. Before I got that cold, I was waking automatically at like 5:30. So I wasn't snoozing my alarm so bad. But lately.... Man! I feel like I just fell asleep or something. I need that extra hour or I don't feel rested. According to my fitbit, I am in deep sleep at around 4am... I wonder if that has something to do with it??1 -

OWWIE!! That's no fun, I'm sorry you're in so much pain!
Will you be getting your gallbladder out, I hope? Either way, I hope it gets better for you soon! 0 -

I have an appointment with my PCP on March 7. I hope she will just refer me for surgery. If it becomes consistently unbearable before then, I will go to the emergency department.2 -
