As some of you may remember, I have been living with my mom and stepdad the past couple years helping my mom with my stepdad because he had advanced COPD and hasnt been able to do much for himself because everything makes him short of breath.
well sunday morning he got up, joked around with my daughter (his best friend) took his meds and told my mom he wasnt ready to eat and went back to bed. He started yelling that he couldnt catch his breath (a normal thing for him) we turned up his oxygen and gave him some morphine and called his nurse. Then he just went limp, his heart, which only has functioned at 40% for the past 5 years, just quit.
So ive been trying to help my mom through all of this, and my kids, especially my daughter, so my steps suck, and my diet. I just dont know what to do besides eat, so Ive just ate whatever. Anyways, im taking the week off of work, trying to get back with my diet, but not care about steps and workouts this week. I will be as active as I can this week and hopefully back to normal next week.
OMG... Please take care of yourself and your family. Sending you good thoughts and hugs during this difficult time.1 -

I know... it looks like I was a slug over the weekend (although I did make it to Zumba classes not counted in these steps!). Nonetheless, having to write it down and report it makes me realize I can do better. Thanks for the accountability! I’m going to try to do better this week... and report more often so I don’t get two days in a row below 1000! 😳4 -
@angmarie28 I am praying for your family during this difficult time. So very sorry for your loss...0

@jessicakrall8 I would like to join the happy steppers. I guess best to start from Feb? I've got step counts for January but they were somewhat supplemented by the very bumpy roads in Kenya so not exactly accurate!
Do I need a daily target or is weekly okay? My step counts will vary widely depending on day and exercise type. Thanks.0 -
About 5 years ago I had a perfect storm of losses and hurts that I handled by eating. And eating and eating and eating until I gained 90 lbs in one year. Since then I've yo-yo-ed around over 200 lbs. With some major life changes - taking some time off work for my mental health, moving cross country to be near family, a lot of writing and self-reflection, and some serious attention to therapy, I've been healing and thinking and feeling again. Well. This morning I stepped on the scale, and I weighed 199.7 lbs. I feel like the 200 lb wall (my own glass ceiling) was just shattered. I feel empowered and liberated and strong. I'm never going to forget the grief of that year, but it doesn't define me, rather it teaches me. I'm sad for the self-destruction, but I'm proud of my self-forgiveness. My weight has been so tied into my self-image that I could spin out of control if I pop back up over 200. Well, you know what. I will go back over 200 lbs because our weight naturally fluctuates a few pounds because of salt or water or whatever, but the trajectory is downward to my 145 goal. My wins are that I'm making healthy food choices, I move most every day, and I am in this group with all of you inspiring people who remind me that health is the journey, not the destination. So, thank you for the support and the motivation and the incredible stories and honesty you all share here each day.7

@Emmajhare We'd love for you to join us...yes, we're over halfway through the month now, so let's start in February. I do ask for a daily goal, but it should be reachable...not too far above what you're doing now, just enough to motivate you to push a little. I do 7k, many others do 10k, but take a look at the step chart and you can see a wide range of choices.

@mynacha73 What an inspiring post. Congrats on shattering the 200 pound ceiling. Glad to be sharing the journey with you. It's hard work, but so much is also self love, self forgiveness and treating yourself with the compassion you would afford to others! Hugs!3

Last chemo day was yesterday!!! And the after effects should be gone in 10 days!! I'll start immediately into radiation treatments at 12 days, which will gloriously finish the day before my 17 year old's spring break!! Radiation treatments shouldn't be too bad other than that I have to go 5 days a week for 6 weeks. That gets tiring or maybe the radiation makes you a bit weary, and I could have sunburn like symptoms. I guess I should also be thankful that my son really doesn't want to go to the beach for spring break but would rather go look at colleges. Silly boy! Here's me in my faux hair hat. What you can't see is the slippers that I wore accidentally to my appointment having totally forgotten to change into shoes before leaving the house.
Hmm. Picture won't post. I'll have to try later ..9 -
