    Mum came home from hospital last night, arrived this morning and she is really ill. Mum has a really loose cough, lots of fluid on her chest. My sister could not get her out of bed and had to get help from a neighbour. Waiting for the doctor to arrive.
    .

    Elaine - praying that your mum will be OK.

    Thank you Joan. Doctor said she has a high temperature, chest is clear but the doctor thinks it is the heart medication that is causing the fluid. Mums legs are very swollen but not infected, we are wirried because she is sleeping all the time and slurring a little. The doctor is giving her antibiotics and is chasing up the notes from the hospital. Mum was really cheerful in hospital so we don't understand what is happening. Hopefully she will be a little better tomorrow.

    dealing with an 88 year old self centered Mom who says oh no one is more important than me! Her mom use to call her privileged character. After a phone call with her I usually overeat, not today, I say she is who she is and I don't have to get agitated and overeat. Big for me!

    Drink water.
    Try to be active while at mum's.

    Sorry to hear about your mum. I will keep you all in my thoughts. Sending positive thoughts your way. :heart: Hang in there, Elaine! :heart:

    Lots of people have been talking about de-cluttering and I thought this would also act as exercise for body and mind. I googled declutter and I am about to print out the monthly calendars for 2016.
    Log food.
    Move more.
    Stay calm.
    Support those who need me.

    Have a great day everyone.

    Good luck Elaine! I'm surprised by how "freeing" decluttering can be. Even just one drawer that is no longer filled with junk can bring a smile to your face every time you open it :smile:

    5. Only go over 1200 calories if I have exercise calories AND if I am actually hungry - the being actually hungry part keeps tripping me up. I want a little snack, just because I have the calories for it, but I'm not really hungry.
    6. Remember to ask God for help when I start to struggle - could have done better at this

    Just for Today 3/02

    So tempted to eat more food I don't need before going to sleep but determined to beat that!
    Just for today I'm going to sleep without emotional eating, knowing I can eat in the morning if I want to!

    New to this thread so thank you all for your inspiring positivity and sharing :)
