I’m a bit behind on posts but from some I’ve read I’m reminded that everyone is going through something. Being kind to each and every human we interact with is our responsibility. We all have our ways of doing that. But are we being kind to ourselves? Doing dishes tonight I turned on some music. I have a short playlist that I go to when I need a pick me up. Here’s mine...corney I know but its what perks me up. Showing my age too I guess. Show me your pick me up playlist! Hugs!!
M. trainor- all about that bass
Partridge family-i think I love you
G. Gaynor- i will survive
King harvest- dancing in the moonlight
David Dundas- jeans on

You guys are right. Life is always going to be busy if it keeps going the way it’s going and I keep making the choices that I do. Not slowing down anytime soon anyway.2

I listen to all the new pop Christian music. It always helps uplift me. We are lucky here in Minnesota, we have a few good stations to choose from.2 -
@Navydaddjtc -I am so sorry for your loss. Cancer is an awful thing. Both me and my husband are survivors. It’s crazy how many people it hits. Sending prayers...1 -
check in for Tuesday
Logged: no, over
Water: not enough
Exercise: 30 min weights, 15 min - 2 rounds of plank challenge
Steps: 2,037
@cyndiesstuff I will tell you what happened. On Wednesday I hurt my back, on Friday TOM, Saturday bday party, Sunday another party , too much food, too little movement.... so I spiraled down again. Then on Monday I was just lazy I guess, trying to find excuses like it's too cold and snowy for a walk, my back hurts - no weights workout and so on.... I still did my planks daily though. So today was another day like that, until I read your comments, worrying what happened. I felt ashamed...
At 7:30pm I did my weights workout and 2 rounds oh plank challenge. Tomorrow I plan to get back on track.

yesterday was not a very good day. well it started out good, i got a counselor and she is suppose to call me back with an appt. time this evening. was feeling pretty good about my day and then i got a phone call from my oldest son's (the one who has Schizoaffective disorder) land lord. apparently josh has been having drug traffic in and out of his apartment. the land lord is not sure if he is doing drugs but he is hanging out with druggies. then a call from community mental health. josh has dropped dirty for methamphetamine. the repercussions of this could be life threaten for josh. street drugs do no mix with his prescribed meds and the government programs he is on will kick him off if he does drugs and gets caught. then i get a call from my mom, she says it feels like someone is sitting on her chest. she had just come back from the doctor and he prescribed her nitroglycerine tablets. hey..... welcome to my world. i did not eat my emotions tho. i was successful at just feeling them. i cried and yelled and complained why me. but i guess, why not me.
@sleepymom5 refer back to my post about the sand hill. what you are going thru is perfectly normal. you are changing habits that you have had for many years. habits that are deeply ingrained in your mind. be careful what you say to yourself. your words to yourself can be harsh instead of loving. and trust me when i tell you that you will believe every word you say.
@phoebe112476 ohhh girl. that is a nice loss. thanks for checking in!! you must feel like a new person. all of your work clothes don't fit. time to go shopping. try thrift shops and then go to department stores. i have replaced my wardrobe many times it can be very fun.
@carlsoda i have lined up some counseling. as you can see from above, my life is pooring tough stuff on me right now. i am going to have to try hemp hearts. thanks for the tip!!
@lenka1 how are you doing? are you coming back for may? we miss you.
@nstephenson01 i don't really have a play list. but i do love 80's dance music. i have a couple of stations i listen too. i know what you mean, music can change your mood in an instant!! love your self care girl, we will count that as a nsv!!
@hope002 ohhhh sweety. never feel ashamed. the words we say to ourselves are very powerful. because after all if you can't believe yourself, who can you believe? instead of same, do a writing exercise. sit down and write for 10 minutes, analyzing what happened with no blame. figure out what the circumstances were and then what you felt about those circumstances. you cant change the facts but you can change how you felt about them. then deal with the feelings instead of dwelling on the facts. NO BLAME and NO SHAME. your a human being. you make mistakes. learn from them.
ok all, i have to go exercise and finish getting ready for work. i will catch up more when i get to work!

I am feeling better and thinking I just need to catch up on the sleep I missed last week. That is so hard! The lightheaded feelings were better yesterday though not gone. I have been trying to take a short rest in the afternoon.
My stats for baseball for the last two days are
Monday - bunt - steps 6320 no exercise
Tuesday - steps 7400 and 45 minutes exercise - garden prep
@cyndiesstuff
I hope you get that appointment soon, and that you found the counselor who can best help you. So sorry to hear the problems your son is having. You no longer have control of his life and I know it can be hard to accept that and let go but he is an adult. Also hope your Mom is doing OK. Chest pain can be very scary.2 -
Okay, break's over. I'm getting back in the game when the new month starts. I appreciate the cheer squad sabbatical while I dealt with some personal issues. I'm ready to prove to myself that I want to live a full, healthy life.
I'll see everyone in a few days!5 -
@eyesopennow we need a starting weight and do you still want your weigh-in day to be Friday? I am soooo glad your back0

@Julie8468 thanks for checking in. you had another very nice day.
@GingerPwr you get right back at it. TOM is going to happen and it is good to learn how to handle the scale fluctuations around it.
@amsandos awhhh, I love it when hubby is so thoughtful.
@Mrsbell8well love your play list too! and nice loss this week. I am going to channel my inner Angelina!!
@pacsnc6 I am glad that your feeling some better. be careful about that light headedness. maybe sinus? or ear? and thanks for your thoughts. I am just glad I didn't eat thru the feelings!!

Check in for: Tuesday
Ate: didn't log, pretty sure over .
Water: over 64 oz
Exercise & steps: 30 minute walk, 30 min Leslie tape and 14,010 steps
The weather held out and we had fun at the game last night. We went to a nice place to eat before and I did well with my choices except for having bread. I did drink but stuck to my plan at the restaurant but had 1 1/2 additional drinks at the ball park. Today my only exercise is going to be walking my son's dog for about 20 min. I am still going to hit my 10K but my hip and knees are hurting so I am going to give them a break. I have a lot of driving to do today so it is going to be a challenge to get the steps in. Well, got to go, hope everyone has a great day!
I also didn't get on last night so I am a little behind with taking care of business. I will do that now. Thanks for being patient!
@phoebe112476 Nice loss! What a successful April you have had and a great plan for May.
@carlsoda Looks like you had another great day! You really have been doing awesome lately.
@lenka1 Thanks! Hope all is well with you.
@DananaNanas You are right, I know you love all you do (except the 9-5 job) so try to think of a plan that will fit into your busy life. Start with doable things that you can change and build. I think you would like those Phit and Phat podcasts.
@nstephenson01 That is so true, you really don't know what others are going through. I love your play list! I need to make a new one, the ones I have are old.
@hope002 Hope your back is ok. Isn't it crazy how we can be doing great and then so easily spiral down? I certainly can relate to that, it has happened to me more time than I can count. The important thing is that you realized what was happening and pulled yourself out. That is awesome! Hope you are having a good day today!
@julie8468 Nice day! Love how you ate 1/2 and finished the rest for dinner. Great job!
@GingerPwr Glad you aren't worried about it as that is a natural reason to gain. Hope you are feeling better soon.
@amsandos Happy to hear you are doing so well!
@Mrsbell8well Nice loss! Love your playlist too!
@cyndiesstuff Wow! That is a lot to take in let alone deal with. So what happens now with your son? Didn't he volunteer recently to go to an in patient program? If he does that again will that help with any repercussions from his test being positive? I am sorry you have to deal with all of that. Is your ex involved at all or any help? What happened with your Mom? Did she have to go back to the hospital? Hang in there girl! Great job on feeling your emotions and not eating them. What is your plan for today? Try to worry about one day at a time and don't get overwhelmed. Hugs!
@eyesopennow Whoo hoo! Glad you are back!!3 -

Daily Check in: Tuesday
Food: Logged, under
Water: Good
Exercise & Steps: 6 mile hike with the dogs; 19,901 steps
Been consuming more carbs than usual and the scale is showing it. I expect tomorrow's weigh in to be bad. Took my measurements this morning hoping for a better sign but not much change. Upper body is down but lower body is up... gravity??? LOL April was a bit of a fail for me. Been thinking a lot about how I want to proceed.
I'm really enjoying getting back into yoga. The class on Saturday was good, not very challenging so a good confidence builder. I actually didn't hate seeing myself in the mirror!! My plan is to try 4 instructors at 2 different locations. I took a second class Monday morning. I liked that instructor better but the location is at a noisy gym. It doesn't have the relaxing atmosphere like the other location which is a dedicated yoga studio. Will try the other two instructors in the next couple weeks and decide which one to join.
I'm so sorry for all you're going through @cyndiesstuff.
Gotta run and get my exercise in before heading to the dentist to get a cavity filled... Blah.
Have a great day everyone!

and don't you worry your pretty little head @sleepymom5 when I am at work, I have time and it helps to keep my mind busy so I don't think about it as much!! if you need to talk you can always call me. I know your having a hard time right now getting your head back in the game. it's tough but you have lots of love and support. lean on them and me for strength if you need. we are all here for you.1

lets talk about the above model for a moment. quite honestly this is how our brain works. many times without our even realizing it.
First there is a circumstance. the circumstance is a fact. it can be proven in a court of law.
Next, you have a thought about that circumstance. a good one or a bad one.
Followed by a feeling. happy sad and so on
Then that feeling moves you to action or inaction
And finally, in turn, it gives you a result.
lets take an example:
The facts: my son is an addict, he may lose his housing, my mom has a fatal heart condition
The thoughts: my son can get help, what he does is out of my control and my mom will be surrounded by love and I will be there for her till the end.
The feelings: I am scared, I am angry, I am overwhelmed
the action: had a long talk with Jim and cried and yelled.
the results: I felt some relief with jims compassionate heart.
Now it could have gone like this:
The facts: my son is an addict, he may lose his housing, my mom has a fatal heart condition: the facts have not changed
The thoughts: my son and my mom are going die,
The feelings: I am scared, I am angry, I am overwhelmed
the action: i went to the frig and ate my feelings
the results: my son is still and addict and my mom still has a heart condition and now i feel like crap cause I lost control of my food intake
the point of the story is that your thoughts can be true or untrue, helpful or unhelpful. we need to really look at what we say to ourselves. AGAIN... the words we say to ourselves are very powerful.5 -
@Navydaddjtc I am so sorry for your loss! My prayers & condolences to you & your family!1
