Since we've been back in Minnesota I noticed that most events are around food! It's so much easier when it is just me and my husband. Seems like a lot of people all they think of is eating! Then I think of eating! I would be lost if I did not have this app to keep me on track!! So tempted to be able to eat whatever I want whenever I want but then of course you all know what happens!!

It was the same way when I lived in Manitoba.

Every single event, get-together, meeting or whatever had to be accompanied by mounds of food. And heaven forbid if I showed up with a plate of raw veggies!

End of the month already? How did that happen?

Katla ((hugs)) and prayers for your DH, you and safe travels for your children.

Happy birthday Allie! Great news from the labs. Will Miles eat strained prunes ?
Belated best anniversary congratulations, Lisa!
Pip most beautiful couple, then and now. What Tracey and KJ said.
Heather the pics, Your arctic circle references bring Penny @lagopus to mind. Miss her. “Scandi licorice” :sick: Always happy to see your smiling face, your attractive formals and there are never too many waterfalls for me!
Leslie gorgeous feeder, is it blown glass? 5 days on track Brava! Sorry to hear your dad is “resistant to treatment”. It would be difficult for your mom to break the pattern of covering for him. Hard times.
Rita ((hugs))
Annie Like Kylia said one bad decision is not the end. You were doing so very well on the steps, dumbbells and yoga, you CAN do it again!
Lanette likewise so many of my friends having health and/or caregiving struggles. Makes me sad.
Tina 5K in the depths of he||? SMH!
Vicki ((hugs)) and prayers your DIL's heart will soften. Glad you got to see GD for a little while this visit.
Kylia glad the storm cleared your migraine. Impressed you were able to catch up paperwork.
Rori want to be working in a crowd of a million? No brainer for me… NOT!
Kay could that helicopter have been a greeting from heaven?
Suebdew sure you did a great job leading water aerobics, but a little notice would have been nice…
Debbie ((hugs)) “Sad when there is that many people together and feel alone.” That was me when we moved to Boise. Joe’s brother, 3 nephews, our rent-a-son and me. Never felt so alone in my life, even though I’d lived solo for 11 years after college. Creeps me out that your son’s girlfriend has a tracker on him. Is that socially acceptable nowadays?
Michele the sand dollar plaque! Admire all of you creatives who paint, sew, quilt, upscale, etc. Not my gift
Machka fingers Xd the coworkers at new job are less chatty
Terri what is your summertime craft project?
KJ the kid pics but most of all your 5 lbs at a time success!
Carla “Godcidences” love it. Looks like you need a supershredder
Welcome back @DvineLvine Keren in OR! Here’s how to bookmark the thread so you can find us again easily. Like the insight of fasting as a kindness to the body, giving it time to rest and heal. Thanks!
Kylia what you said to Annie about one bad decision not meaning the end. Well said!
Ginny that hair cut sounds cool!
Mary ((hugs)) Parkinson’s is such a hard diagnosis. ((hugs))
@allieberri belated best birthday wishes. Would you remind me what you’d like to be called and your general locale?
Carol congratulations on purging work clothes. Well done!
Beth Scary!!! “unnatural calm” Well done.
Kim you drove a bus full of 72 children? You deserve a medal!
Karen, Sue, Viv, Kate and everyone I missed, good to see you posting.

When I reminded Joe that his nephew and bride would be stopping by at lunch time on their way to Santa Cruz, he said it would be a good day for him to go fishing and he’d be back around 5pm. I just smiled and said Have Fun! Instead, he was amazingly gracious when they arrived, showing them around, asking them to carry a box of memorabilia to his brother in Boise, even allowing his nephew to hug him hello and good bye. Miracles happen.

Beth-great job handling deer. I don't know how I would have handled it. I am tending to take alternate routes to heavy interstate traffic as I get older. Hope your husband copes with the diabetes. I remember my husband was so depressed when he received diagnosis. Sadly, he was never very good at controlling it.

Allie-happy birthday!

Debbie-sounds like things are settling down for you guys somewhat. Hope it continues. Very difficult for everyone.

Heather-your cruise is keeping you active!

Today and tomorrow will be shorter days at work somewhat. Today I get off at 3. I have my physical therapy assessment for pelvic floor therapy. This should be interesting.

Tomorrow I work from home and go to an 11 am monthly meeting with boss. Off after that. Son and DIL coming for pick up of items and then traveling to their new house (about 40 minutes away).

No real plans for long weekend. Will just do things around house, get in some early day walks. Looks like we are moving into our cycle of weather in the mid to upper 80s with humidity and pop up showers for the next week or so. Typical July weather here.

Think I am going out for a quick walk before work-beats the heat.

Take care all,

Ginny in Ohio

Beth I always heard the same thing. You did great! Deer have done some damage to a couple of my vehicles. Glad for your clear head and actions!

Boob squeeze this morning before work. Leaving work at 330 as I have training at 4 on computer. Cant do at work as I keep getting interrupted, so am coming home early.

SIL actually did something out of character for herself yesterday. She bought herself a new Hellcat challenger. I am proud of her! I also told her that. Everything else she has ever done in the time I have known her is from someone else's viewpoint or need. This was all her. (I know....us crazy car people!)

Better get this day going.
Hugs!
High fives!
Prayers!

Allie Happy birthday!

Beth so glad you and DH are not hurt. Well done!
Sorry to hear of the diabetes.

Debbie I'm always thinking about you and MIL. Hope things settle into a bearable routine.

Thanks for all the hugs, ladies! I'm back in the saddle, and hoping I didn't slide back too far. Busy day today, so that will help.

Morning, afternoon or evening, dear hearts,

Beth - Your reactions were so perfect. So pleased you are both OK. Sorry about the diabetes diagnosis for the DH. I can see easily see how that many stressful things in a short period of time can led to a domestic.

Allie - Happy birthday, my chicken! Hope yours is filled with all the love you give to others--it certainly should be.

Ginny - I would be really interested in the pelvic floor therapy exercises, especially if they don't require equipment. Issues with pelvic floor pain have been a big part of the overall issues I've been dealing with the last couple years.

Heather - Sounds like you are keeping yourself and your DH busy. He loves you very much, and it's easy to see that because he keeps trying to learn to dance! What a wonderful guy. Hope the rest of the trip is just as fun as the first part of the cruise was. Oh, and there is no such thing as too many waterfalls. The view out your cruise ship window is gorgeous.

On my soapbox regarding food: Everyone has their way of thinking about the food they eat and their exercise, so take this with a grain of salt. My relationship with food got much less stressful when I quit thinking of it as "good" or "bad." It's just fuel for my body. Heather goes the other direction and keeps her weight down so she can eat the wonderful food she loves. For many of us, food has been our coping tool for most of our lives. Feel bad? Eat. Feel great? Eat. Feel sad? Eat. Hate yourself at the moment? Eat. Under enormous stress? Eat.

Replacing food as a coping tool can be accomplished through varied actions, such as journaling, writing, walking, box breathing, crafting, painting, sewing, talking to someone you love, and so on. When you find other ways to deal with your life than eating or overeating, you start to break the habit of trying to change the way you feel with food.

Funny/weird story on deer accidents: 12 years ago, Corey and I had just moved into a condo, and he was working out in the oilfield while I took a day's vacation to get things unpacked and in order at home. While I was doing that, I pulled our wedding cake topper out of a box, and when I did, the groom's head fell off. I immediately dug out the super glue and put the head back on the body and put it on a shelf. Within the hour, Corey called and told me that on the way to the oil lease he was working, a deer had hit his company truck. It trashed the right front quarter panel, and then kept sliding, and there was deer poop all down the side of his truck to prove it. He said he looked in the rearview mirror and the deer popped up like a jack-in-the-box and continued on its way. I told him I saved his life because I glued his head back on. Stranger things have happened.

Off to the races, kids,
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR
