@nstephenson01 A couple years ago, I asked one of my friends here what or who TOM was. So funny! It's been a long time for me. Hahaha. I'm not laughing at you, I'm laughing at me. So, that too shall pass.3

@CassieGetsFit2013 I was so so sorry to hear about your fluffy little black dog's death and how you're struggling with your forgiveness of your other two dogs. I'm so glad that @Zumba_Luvah shared her story with you (and also sorry about her son's guinea pig, Jack). Giant hugs.3

@Mrsbell8well
Thanks and you're right, I will. I think the stress of not knowing if I'm working or not is making it harder for me. Also the riots and looting so close to where I live isn't helping with the stress levels. From what I understand there were riots in the city before but that was before I was born.
I know that I can't control those things. Time for me to control what I can and take some of my own advice.😉
Yesterday's protest was peaceful and the police even walked with the group. Nothing violent happened after so hopefully there's progress being made.5 -

Hey! Checking in real quick.
Yesterday I didn't log food, but I don't think I overate. I did a low impact cardio workout and played golf with the hubs, so I got in lots of movement.
Had pizza for supper, which was definitely not clean eating, but I just gave myself permission to enjoy the food.
Today is the full force of TOM, so I haven't really been out of bed much - got lots of schoolwork done, though. I'm supposed to do a Hiit workout on Fitness Blender, but I think I'll switch days between that and the yoga scheduled for tomorrow and just reset on Saturday, which is the scheduled rest day.
I guess the lesson for today is "Listen to your body." There's a difference between your body saying "I don't want to" and "Okay, no, I physically CAN'T." And when we find ourselves in a place where we can't do A, then maybe we compromise with our bodies and do B instead.
And I'm also going to link this awesome video about not panicking over body fluctuations. I was down on myself earlier this week and then found this video today, and it's such a great reminder that we're going through daily, even hourly weight fluctuations and that nobody's perfect.
https://www.fitnessblender.com/blog/36-hours-of-body-fluctuation-cheat-meal-before-and-after
So like they say in the video: Do things mostly right most of the time, but give yourself space to be human.
Don't forget to be awesome today!3 -
@tryingagain5 Linda, each one of these things is a major stressor. It's unusual to live in the midst of a pandemic, flooding, riots, and to have job insecurity all at once. Be very kind to yourself, whether that's giving yourself a mental health day, or walking with your neighbourhood pups. I'm happy to hear yesterday's protests were peaceful. We've only had one protest here and it was peaceful. I posted a video I took at the end of the May chat. The only violence was when a man threw a bucket of dirty water with PineSol in it on the marchers. It didn't incite anything more than a few screams and some swearing. You've got this. Hugs.2

Hi all! 🖤
Just got home from the Hospital...😬😒 I went to my TMS treatment, when I got there I was feeling a bit dizzy & spaced out. I went to the bathroom, when I made it to the sink to wash my hands, my face was flushed and real pale. I almost passed out. I checked my BP & it was fairly high. I made it up stairs because I knew Danielle, the sweet technician would be there so I sat down and by then my arms and legs were feeling numb, tingly, flushed, etc. She came out to greet me, asked how I was and then she said I didn't look too good. Told her what my BP was and she had me check it again and it was higher. She went to call the Dr. And he said he wanted her to call an ambulance for me. I told her to wait. I wanted to try and wait it out and see if let up, she had already told me I couldn't do treatment as it just wouldn't be safe...So we waited a while and she kept checking on me. As time went by, I felt okay at times, then worse again. She got on the phone with the Dr. Again and he told her to call 911 so she did and an ambulance came and checked my BP and it was up. I can't walk when this happens cause my legs get so weird and weak feeling, I'm unsteady, so they got me on the gurney and off we went. Anyway, my blood work came back fine, my EKG was okay. The ER Dr. Gave me BP meds for 2 weeks (I was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hypertension when I was 21. I've been on many different meds for it, but have currently not been on any. So maybe my Dr. Will now want me back on them...🤔) & told me to follow up with my Dr. I already have an appointment with her through video on the 8th anyway. They pushed me out in a wheelchair and I'm home now...My legs are still bothering me, my arms have let up for the most part. Hopefully this WON'T happen again tomorrow! 😬😕😒 I did feel pretty weird yesterday and got very drowsy around 8pm and passed out. Back up at 11, back to sleep by 2am, up this morning at 10:30. Huff! I think I've been dehydrated some lately too, and I always have my first meal so late in the day...so I need to do better!7 -
@GingerPwr Thanks, that article was really helpful. I'm only starting to have any shape to return to, as in definition. So good timing.1

Today has been stressful. Last night my grandma was taken to the hospital. I hate with everything going on that I cant be there with her even with her Alzheimer's. They let my mom in to the ER but once they said they were keeping her she had to leave. Then this morning our pup got hurt . She ran into something, it went pretty deep. She had alot of pain and bruising. Thankfully tonight she is feeling better with pain meds and antibiotics ♡5 -

Thanks!
So frustrating. Are you on your phone or your desktop? I noticed on my phone it wasn't working but on my computer it was. I've noticed other inconsistencies too. Hope that helps.0 -

Check in for yesterday...
2.5 ltrs water
9424 steps/1.5 hours walking
Did my core work twice! Felt it today...did well with sodium...
check in today
3+ liters
3823 steps/40 minutes walking
Did my core.
2.66 hours gardening (let's be honest...weeding. I am amazing at growing weeds & then murdering them)
Ate chinese for dinner...we know what that means.
Boy, am I tired!
I'm hopeful things are quieting down...we haven't had problems where I'm at but I have friends in places where it's been crazy. Between some really stressful stuff with my husbands family, covid and the on going violence, this year has, so far, been pretty awful. Here's hoping it improves someday soon. Hang in there everyone! Keep up the good work!4 -

@melaniedscott What flower is that in your profile image? It looks like a morning glory but also not. It's lovely. We've just planted or seeded here in Toronto, Canada so we don't have weeds yet. Good job on the doubel core workout!1

@bburrer30 I'm very sorry to hear about your grandmother. It's so difficult when we can't stay with them now.1
