Marla - Man, that is a lot of added stress! I too would rely more on the more experienced doctor's opinion. Young doctors come out of med school feeling like they know everything but eventually actually experiences teach them that there is plenty they haven't experienced. Older doctors don't blurt out the first thing they think it is and have more real world experience with everything...not just some pictures they saw in a text book. Either way, I'll be praying for you!

Laura - I saw in your post that the class went well! Did you get some of your chores done too before climbing into some comfy PJs?

Well, I did a short two mile run with some strides put in to start increasing my cadence. I had a fun training session...we did some boxing which was something I had never tried before but it was fun! We also checked my TDEE and I was glad to see I'm naturally eating right at a 500 deficit. So hoping I just keep up with consistency and I'll finally leave this plateau of weight loss and start seeing a drop in numbers again.

Found out my father in law lost his job. He gets about 9 months severance. I'm not sure if they even have much of a savings account or if they have a loan on their house. His family doesn't actually talk much about stuff. Also found out his sister is having more marital problems again. It's all frustrating as we live half way across the country from them and can't do much to help. His sister is bull headed and kind of a my way or the highway type. We saw potential problems several years ago. They had just had their first kid, and she didn't want to immunize and he did. So they had compromised on a more relaxed immunization schedule. Only he found out a year later that she wasn't following that agreed on compromise at all and was still just doing what she wanted behind his back. These kind of things are indications of the lack of respect her husband feels in a marriage. Plus some other issues with her mom constantly interfering in the raising of their children so he feels like they aren't really his. *sigh
So my hubby now is stressed about his final class in school, a new boss who is really pretty terrible (which as a police officer is dangerous), and now all his family seems to be imploding. He's handling it well right now but I know he's feeling it.

I slept in this morning. Planning on riding the bikes at the Y this afternoon. Not much else planned for today so it should be a nice relaxed day again. Have a great day everyone!

So far its hard to tell if new med is working, hubby thinks it looks a bit better and itch isn't as bad but still real red...uck! I am trying to stay positive, we are planning a short trip to Portland before we leave here if this gets better.

I was hoping to go back to nia tomorrow but this would have to get better, we just went for short walk to river and the sweat makes me itchy again, sorry if its tmi....

Bummer on family stuff Val, hope he finds a new job. Marriage stuff as we both know is hard work. Doing things behind someones back no matter what it is can cause major problems.

Great thread starter today!

Val that's a lot going on with the family, but good news about how your health & fitness is coming along.

Marla hope the rash clears up quickly. Too bad you can't do nia because that sounds like it's often calming for you, which you could use with all the stress.

The class was fun last night, then I had to stop at my sister's. My cousin's son is in town so we had a family gathering. After that my niece's husband came over to measure - he's going to start repairs on my house tomorrow & hopefully finish up this weekend. By the time he left & I ate dinner it was 9:00, so I got nothing done.

Ran after work, then had Jason until 7:00, so another later evening getting home. I have a 4 day weekend coming up and the weather is supposed to be nice so at this point I'm holding out until then.
