Pretrack -yesterday I didn't make healthy choices at dinner, today I'll prep better.
Biggest challenge will be getting in some activity today. Need to plan.
Drink 9 cups of water.
Visit in laws.
Plan week-lots to do!
Grateful that I'm not aching anymore why I get up in the am. I'm sure this is related to cutting way back on processed foods.
Have a great Sunday!

My condolences. Even when we know one of our loved ones is in their last days, it doesn't make it any easier when they pass. May you and your family find peace.0 -
@TerriRichardson112 : Thank you. I hope you don't know the anguish of waiting for these kinds of tests first-hand. I'm glad you got outside and gardened. Gardening is good for the soul, I think!
@Saragirl2 I hope your puppy is feeling better. I'm also glad to hear that you don't hurt in the morning as bad as you did. I'm really hoping for that same result in my knee and ankle joints as I cut more and more processed foods and sugar out of my diet.

Even 14 years later, knowing that we were able to be there for my father-in-law during his last few days is still a great comfort for my husband and I. It is truly a blessing when a family can be together during the hardest of times.

It was very hot (for me least, I live in the mountains so I am used to jogging in cool temperatures) so I was only able to walk.
I came in last place out of a LOT of people, but it still counts a a win for me because...
1. On January 1st of this year I could just barely walk 10 minutes on the treadmill.
2. I finished and after the first 5 minutes I thought I wouldn't.
3. I kept my commitment to myself to do one 5k race every month til next May.

In my book, it is a HUGE win. I would not even dare sign up for a 5k let alone be able to finish one. I think that is fantastic. You go girl!!!0 -

yep, i have to chime in here too: this SO counts as a win. my physical therapist has me "on the bench", so i couldn't do a 5K at all! I'm truly amazed at the progress you've made in nine months. but, in my humble opinion, keeping the promise to yourself just takes the cake! 0 -
