Honestly, when I saw the "girl in the polka dot dress" my first thought was, "She is so pretty! And has joy on her face!" Thank you for sharing, Mary. You have a fine looking family!

Agreed. Your daughter is beautiful @maryrobinson40 x2 -
So about six days ago I started intermittent fasting. Yesterday was rough, but I powered through and was able to finish the day out successfully. Today not so much, although even with eating about 350 calories more than normal, I will still be well under my recommended goal! Also, I did what I set out to do yesterday: I walked for an hour at a brisk pace! Today I wanted to walk for at least an hour at a leisurely pace, because my thighs were sore...My daughter (whose 6) and I did an hour and ten minutes of good, easy-paced walking.
Then I sat in the sun for ten minutes and got sunburned.6 -

Tuesday April 16
Log accurately
Stay in the green
5 fruit and veg
Fitbit excercise goals
January challenge
February challenge
March challenge
April challengeI very busy at the moment and I think I've made the right choices about what to prioritise. That meant an early start today and a late finish but I feel better for being closer to meeting the demands of work. It's not for long so it's sustainable.
Sorry that I only have time to skim read and not give many responses, sending hugs to those who are struggling with their own physical and mental health or are worried about their loved ones.3 -
So I'm over at D's house tonight hanging out/watching over her son Al who has Downs Syndrome. He really is a great guy. He's 22 already! I've known him since he was 5. It's amazing how fast time goes by. He was my dinner date. We went to Roy Rogers and got food and he spent the first hour I was here telling me all about the movie Chucky. It was hysterical. But God does it feel good to be out of the house and in a social situation. I'm taking him over to Boy Scouts tonight also. My Dad is the Scout Master so I'll probably hang out for a while. I'm also bringing Al home after the meeting but his parents or brother should be home by then.
I got a call back from the Doctor and it was actually the Doctor himself that called. He said that there wasn't really anything he could do to stop the food from coming out the south end until they know what exactly is causing it but he did prescribe something that should help with nausea. So we'll see what happens with that. I am waiting for the text that it's filled and then I'll go pick it up. If it's before Scouts I'll drop Al off and go while he's there.
Matt made it to the store and back for food. I haven't been cooking dinner or anything so the only way we've been getting food is from the store down the street. I have to go food shopping when we get money on Friday. I'm not sure how Matt's feeling now. I'm probably going to call him in a few minutes. I guess I really needed to get out of the house though. I actually feel a lot better. I also spent some time praying while I was waiting for Al to get dropped off from his program and I think that also really helped. I am feeling much more upbeat. It's still hard but I guess I have a brighter outlook on it? I don't know. Lol

Hey everyone,
Depression got its filthy claws right into me again (this has been creeping up for weeks now) and today and i had to go to the GP.
But shes told me the tablets arent going to cure my depression, i need to strive for routine and live by it. I need to get OUT the house.
I need space to myself (but limited time) so i dont get lonely but also smothered.
I need to get off the pad (an hour a day im allowed to be on it) and throw myself into social situations.
I told her that this board was a great support! So i hope you dont mind if I lean on you all a little here xxx
Know im thinking of all of you! But sorry i cant respond to you all!
called upon. I love you young lady!!!💝💝💝💝💝💝💕

Claiming my seat...
I didn't take a break or lunch today - Tuesdays are bad sometimes. I'm trying to catch up my hydration. I didn't really eat my lunch.
But I'm here and reading your posts and feeling grateful to be in a group!
Thanks everyone. Better tomorrow.

This is the fourth day he has called out. I'm about ready to go into the office on my hands and knees and beg for something to make him feel better. It's killing me seeing him like this. I HATE this. At this point I don't even care about answers. I just want something that relieves the constant sick feeling he has. I'm about ready to lose my mind.

Thank you Sis. And even though my blood family is dwindling down... You all, my extended family, are
growing faster than I can read to keep up with. I'm loving the power of this thread. It's contagious I tell ya.
NOTHING BUT GOOD comes from this thread because we embrace each other in our moments.
Joan, This is God inspired and love intertwined. A beautiful tapestry of a unique unity.
