    Thank you for being here for me. I appreciate all the warm thoughts & prayers. If I could, I would respond to each of you, individually. Now, my Mom is in crisis… since October 13th. She is nit doing well. Although they’ve been married for 66 years, they have not been together since my mother got Covid on December 27, 2020. She recovered from Covid Pretty well. We almost lost her I don’t wanna point. And she’s been bound to a wheelchair ever since she had Covid, but she had been walking very poorly before Covid started. Like my dad, she also has dementia. Before Covid both of them live together in the same room at a memory care assisted living facility. We chose not to tell her about my dad.. That has been very difficult for us, but we know she is not in a state that she could handle it or possibly even understand it. We would not have been able to bring her to the funeral she is as is having such a rough time right now and may not make it herself. I just told one of my brothers that this could be the last day for her she’s really not been well. She is sleeping a lot! She can’t really talk hardly anymore. This just all happened pretty suddenly.
    I will be visiting her this afternoon.

    My dads funeral was Thursday afternoon. It was actually quite beautiful. In our religion we focus more on life and he will live on through the peoples lives he has touched and memories. he is with God now.

    My dad taught us many lessons but even up to that last day or two, he was still smiling. He was resilient to the very end.

    Thank you, once again, for all your precious comments and prayers.

    4’9” petite-sm. boned female. 59 yrs
    Ultimate goal: 98 lbs (subject to change)
    SW (starting over--May 24, 2021): 160.3
    I started mfp on 2/20/11 at 160.2 lbs.
    My lowest weight on mfp was 140 lbs in 11/2013 and 5/2014.
    My highest weight ever: 168+ (and I wasn't even pregnant at that time... ) That was in 12/2016.
    Just for the record used to be an athlete a long, long time ago. Used to teach Aerobics and Step Aerobics. Used to LOVE exercise.
    Nowadays, I don't exercise at all. Why, oh why not? How can I go from loving exercise and doing tons of exercise to nothing at all?
    Going from low blood pressure to being on medication for high blood pressure. What have I done to myself?!

This is bad situation. And I need to pay bills & submit LTC claims. I’m behind in paperwork & covered in it. Disorganized. Etc. almost got fired a few days ago due to having to take so much time off from work. Stressful job, stressful life still. Both parents at once is rough. I don’t know what I’m doing. Trying…

    I like to track averages due to my wild fluctuations. For the same reason, I like to weigh daily so I can see the lows from time to time. It gives me hope.

    Even though I am 1.6 lower than yesterday, my 10-day rolling average went up 0.1. That is because I just dropped a 205.6 off the front end of my rolling 10-day range. I need to sprinkle more low numbers in my 10-day mixes. I would like to break the 205 barrier this round. Out to lunch with an old friend today. Maybe I can remember to make a good choice or three.

    10/20: 206.2
    Happy hump day everyone!

    10/21: 204.8
    This is goofy. But I will take it and run.

    Looking forward to the day when this is on the upper end of my range, but considering the season, I will be happy to revolve around this reading for the next couple months. So many celebrations ahead! Because the way I was raised plus what was spliced into my DNA somehow, celebration means food. I need to work on that don’t I?

    10/22: DNW
    Due to yesterday’s abject failure and the simple fact that I am still carrying around what I ate the day before yesterday… nuff said.

    Today will be better.

    Simply not paying enough attention leads to this yoyo and a +210 reading on a Monday morning. This has me really psyched up to face another rainy day.

    Alright, that’s enough stinkin thinkin. 😊

    10/26: 208.2
    This round is a three humped camel.

    10/27:207
    This could have been better.

    10/28: 207
    Meh. It has been a lifestyle of not reaching my goals as of late. Not quitting.
