    3. Walk or jog :smile: When sledding with my family. It was lots of fun and I couldn't walk up the hill last year!
    4. Maybe go to gym - no time for this

    Thanks for all of the encouragement! I don't plan on quitting! I plan on continuing this journey one day at a time!

    Just got home from the hospital with my husband. Had some complications but is okay now. Walked around the hospital for my cardio, stayed within calories but way over sodium! Feel uncomfortable but hopefully now that I am home I can limit my sodium intake and feel okay again.

    JFT log everything, walk, stay within calorie, nutrients and macros. Let everyone know how I am doing. This helps me feel more accountable for my actions! Thanks everyone for this thread! So helpful!

    It's good to hear he's ok now. I was wondering, since you didn't check back in.

    Love the butterflies, the colours are amazing. You are really good. I have just completed a copperfoil chimp and have made a start on a pen drawing which has a pre-drawn background. I received them as christmas presents. They are both really relaxing.

    @abacus93jp, glad to hear your husband is recovering!

    @47Jacqueline, beautiful work on the paintings!

    Doctor told me yesterday no more high-impact cardio so I'm trying to deal with that thought. It's what's kept me off medication for the last couple years. I need to find an alternative, I guess, that's not so hard on my feet. Trying not to let this overly discourage me. ALL my favorite workouts are high-impact and I really need them. Yikes.

    JFT, 12/29

    1. Stay within calories.
    2. Walk the dogs.
    3. Cardio day so maybe some elliptical at the gym - don't know what else to do. :'(
    4. No drinking!

    Thank you! Hang in there! Can you do what you were doing before just not so intense? It may feel strange at first but at least you are still doing something you like.

    Oh! Come on! Where's your happy thoughts!

    This is a perfect opportunity to branch out, expand your hoilrizons and grow!

    You get to try lots of new exercises, you lucky thing!

    How about .... rowing!?! Do you live near water, is there a rowing machine at the gym or recreation center, can you buy a used one off the internet?

    Or...biking, swimming, water aerobics, walking, elliptical, stairs or stair machine, WEIGHT LIFTING, kayaking, sailing, Tai chi, rock climbing, hiking, yoga, pilates, resistance bands, snow shoeing!, step aerobics, ballroom dancing, rollerblading, cross country sking, down hill sking or golf!

    I have a friend who owns snowshoes. I am going to try snowshoeing in January!

    I also have this crazy thought on the back of my head that I am going to ice skate 5k, but it's been so long since I was on ice skates that I don't want to commit to that till I try it again. I'm going ice skating on New Years Eve, so I'll let you know about that!

    I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!!! (all of you) to try at least crazy new activity that you thought you would never do during the next month!
