HLaR79, hope this means you are not in as much pain...good for you! And to respond to an earlier post, it was judgmental. They all eat basically what they want; there are chips, cookies, baked goods, etc in the break room. They don't understand what it is like to have circumstances like we do. So me eating a whole bag of green beans rather th a n the pizza and pasta and Chinese they eat plus all the sweets puts the spotlight on me. They will talk about it when I leave the room, not realizing I can hear them from the other room. "Who is she trying to fool eating that when it's obvious she doesn't eat healthy since she's so fat" was a recent comment. I don't take it personally as I am only accountable to myself and they can think what they want.
I'll post the mango chicken recipe tomorrow.
Happy Memorial Day tomorrow here in the States; I have the day off so I'm gonna sleep in!0 -
I will be back in April italian_buju
I tried out exercise and my shoulder held up and i finally used my march gift card for pants and got my self a really nice pair of capris style pants in a size 22 and they fit. I am exciting and cannot wait for June!!!
Um, did you mean April?
Nice that you got yourself some capris!0 -

People are so rude... Good for you for walking away. I would do things like leave articles laying around with skinny people health problems from eating crappy foods lol. Chinese is terrible for anyone (so tasty though)0 -

Wow! Congrats to you for not taking it personally! I'm so sorry they're being judgmental. I work with the Obesity Action Coalition's Weight Bias Task Force. There's sooooooooo much education that needs to be done. These people are, at a minimum, talking out of ignorance. At worst, they hold with society's conventional "wisdom": blame the person with obesity for their disease. I've lived that my entire life -- and now I'm working to change the narrative.

I do not know how you can keep your mouth shut in such a situation. I would have ended up beaking off at them for sure! Sorry that happened!0 -

Ok I feel like I missed something major here....what happened to your hand/arm?0 -
Ok so should we try for another challenge in June?
I cheated this month anyway.....I was supposed to be saving up for a new bathing suit, but they went on sale 50% off which NEVER happens....a one day flash sale....so I just went and bought two that day.
In all fairness, bathing suits are not really a luxury item when I am swimming 3-5 times a week for exercise. And because I am in the water so much, they do not last long.....1 -
Yes, I love challenges! This time next week, I will be starting summer vacation. I am not teaching summer school for the first time in 13 years. So no excuses!
You are right, the swim suit is a necessity for you. Swimming is such a great exercise . And 50% off?

I have nerve damage/pain that started in my neck and travelled down my left arm that basically left me useless ... it's why I stopped doing May challenge I basically worked and went home and cried lol. I have an appointment on Wednesday with a specialist and the worst of the pain is gone except for pins and needles constantly and two numb fingers but I'm back up to full activity most days
