Missed posting again yesterday,
There is real camaraderie and friendships on this chain. It is obvious that the support and love that are shown are heartfelt and genuine.
I’m still working out and I’m dogged in logging food but this exercise doesn’t personally provide the focus I need. I’m also out of place by not being a supportive team member.
I’m going to take a break from participating in this forum and keep experimenting with resources. I’m not walking away from my commitment to continuing my fitness journey.
Thank you for allowing me to camp out here over the past several months.

Awh I'm sorry to see you go! I wish you all the best in your journey. I think you have been supportive, you've been here nearly every day and I think you've done really well. I hope you found something useful from this group and know you're welcome to rejoin any time, if you wish!
Take care!3 -

FRIDAY:
1. eat breakfast
2. 8+ cups water 8
3. two 15-minute mini-workouts during breaks or after work (current WOD is 5 minutes dance warmup, ten situps, two minutes rowing, 5 burpees)
4. track exercise
need to catch up on that!
5. minimum 5000 steps 6973
6. walk outdoors if time/weather permits
SATURDAY:
Working OT today...no rest for the essential! I don't really get breaks during OT, but I will be done by 4:00, which means I can take a walk while it is still a bit light outside. For once it is not pouring down rain, so I will take advantage!

I had to get blood thinning injections after Casey was born, I don't know how you manage it because I couldn't physically inject myself, I just burst into tears when I got close and then I asked my partner and he passed out lol! Disaster.
When I had blood thinning injections after my second brain surgery, I chickened out and had my mom do them...she is a retired doctor. I was not in any shape to learn something like that after having my brain messed with
On my current meds, I really had a hard time at first...I sat and stared at the needle for hours before I could finally do it the first time! Then I learned that it (mostly) doesn't hurt, so it has become second nature. It sure is a learning curve though!

We hate to see you leave.. but I also understand. But please do not feel that you have to respond to others posts, or engage in coverrsation to be a part of this group. We are all busy ... so many times I barely have time to get on and post my own goals, let alone respond to others. There are enough of us that I think if someone reaches out.. and really needs encouragement, someone helps them. But the point of this thread, at least for me, is to try and stay focused. It is so easy to just give up... this thread reminds us that each day can start fresh. Best of luck to you.. and come back whenever you are ready!4 -

@WellingTX I would be so sorry to see you go. Your daily comments on your day are enlightening, and often amusing. I love that you constantly bounce back.
However, I do understand that a break is sometimes necessary. You will always be welcome here.
