Oh my so sorry to hear of your endometriosis…
Never had it, or any pain, and suddenly one month I went from fine to crawling upstairs, curled up in bed.
Turns out I had an ovarian cyst which they removed endoscopically & they *also* found tons of endometriosis- the surgeon AND his 4th year resident spent a couple of hours micro snipping it out.
Forever Grateful
Perhaps doctors can help you? Fingers crossed.3 -
Did I exercise today? Yes, on our feet for about 4 hours... most of that was a hike trudging through deep snow - we had a blast!!

Barely went outside at all today; feeling unwell.
Humour is a healer and laughing is a necessary release. I really like to read humour. I have recently read, laughed through, and enjoyed Is This Anything (Jerry Seinfeld); The Ugly Cry (Danielle Henderson); Calypso (David Sedaris); and am currently reading Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside (Nick Offerman).
Calories just under ✅
Tracked ✅
Exercise ✅ 30 minutes on the treadmill while watching TV.
No pass days used so far.

I was very mischievous in my youth; all harmless fun for a good laugh.
Since I’ve been focusing more on self care the past few months I’m noticing glimpses of my playful nature coming back to life.
Laughter is definitely one of the pillars of good health. In my book anyway.
In addition to laughing more, even though I’ve only lost a couple pounds in the last couple of months my scale now says I’m at level 5… I was level 2 not to long ago!
A different kind of scale victory.
Now to lose 4 lbs to get to a healthy BMI. Nearly there 🤞

Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 20 minutes walk (I actually convinced my 9 year old to take a walk with me! She complained that it was boring, but not too badly)
Tracking: Planned the day, adjusted the plan as necessary to accommodate a pancake snaccident when the kids wanted pancakes for breakfast and then I "had to" finish them up
Calories: Still under!
Since the COVID shutdown, I barely laugh. I would like to change that, but there is little I find funny. I think I have to feel safe to have a real sense of humor, and just have enough time to myself. The podcast "pizza at mcdonalds" is one thing that does really get me laughing sometimes, but only some episodes.4 -

I can relate to your boyfriend's flying anxiety, I am the same. I hyperventilated before boarding the plane for our honeymoon and haven't flown in 31 years. I had to fly in 2019 as I accepted my current job on the condition that flying to some of our manufacturing plants could be required. I am on anti-anxiety meds now and flying a couple of hours in 2019 was tolerable - although I am not ready to fly over an ocean. Unfortunately anxiety is very debilitating and he may not be able to get over it.
I'm sorry flying causes you anxiety. I used to be anxious about flying back in the 80s because I so seldom did it but after my first trip to Europe about 20 years ago that long flight rid me of all of my anxixety. Now I have no issue with it at all. Which is good because that trip created a huge travel bug and have since been a frequent flyer .... although I'm still not back at pre-Covid levels. I still have a long list of countries to visit.
I don't actually know how to get rid of stress or anxiety generally though. I lost most of my stress when I retired. But obviously that's not an option for people unless they're at a specific stage in life. I noticed I started having some anxiety when I started my class at the beginning of fall semester. Though it was just as much due to the long drive than the actual class. I hate driving. For me I just had to suffer through it and after the first couple of weeks it went away.

Checking in with a pass day. It was our anniversary. We were outdoors hiking all day but we did splurge on a nice meal in the evening. i like that we have transitioned to splitting everything at fancy dinners. It allows lots more diversity to our meal and cuts down on calories. Still it was more than I usually eat and I was reflecting that my body is used to a fairly lean diet for the most part.
