Karen - I love the horse picture. The pheasant reminds me of SD.

Katla - so glad you are settling in. Might there be a place for riding lessons near?

Heather - it is evident you are quite happy where you are now.

DGS is bringing a friend over for dinner. I am making it easy and having quesadillas for dinner. Everyone gets to pick what they want on theirs and my DD will man the quesadilla maker.

The pool was closed today because the pump is broken so I tried a short session of very low-impact aerobics. My ankle is not happy, won't do that again soon. Need to stick with the pool and PT.

Everyone take care, Sue in WA

Oh, Beth, I am so very sorry. Hugs!

Barbie, good luck with the retina specialist. My DH saw one for a while after he had retinal tears from glaucoma. His next steps will be a glaucoma specialist. We have to go to Atlanta for that. He is not looking forward to it.

Welcome, Rosemarie! As Carol said, I am also a Georgia girl.

Karen I love the horse, too! Beautiful!

I did my dumbbells. Yay! But I ate too much. Oh well.

I’ve been reading along but not making notes.

I tested positive for Covid this evening. Except for being tired and a cough I feel fine. I’m just hoping DH doesn’t get it.

I can’t return to work until Monday.

I have lots I can do here to keep busy if I want.

Phew! Exercise done this morning, it was hard work but thought I'd better get back to it now I am over my cold. It's already 21C here and getting hotter by the minute. At least there's a nice breeze which helps.

Had to call the doctor for my mum yesterday, she has a urine infection. I'll go by the chemist this morning to pick up her prescription.

Time for breakfast and thinking about healthy meals for today.

Take care and love to all

Went for my run. Had a chat at the deli with the owner's daughter about sticking with the 5k programme. She has got stuck on Level 3 of the app.

Then I edited the Postscript and the Introduction to my my book. It's ready to go. I've been really feeling all the things about publishing it, but I've been listening to inspiring podcasts and videos and I know I'll feel better once it's done. I just have to really take to heart the saying, "When you know better, you do better" and see my younger self with compassion. I hope the book will help others understand their own destructive patterns and bring about some healing.

Much love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Hi All,
I have been battling with weight for over thirty years! I recently tried to "normalize" my eating instead of yo-yo dieting. Clearly, since I am back on MFP, it did not work. I have just crossed over the dreaded 180 mark which I swore I would never do again!

My knees hurt, I get out of breath at the tiniest bit of exertion and I basically feel like crap! To top it off, we are headed to Maine for three weeks and I always gain weight on vacation. If I gain this time, it will be really bleak.

So, here I am, re-committing to weight loss. I will check in here every day and keep my journal religiously. Ive done it before, I can do it again. Also, I will bring my scale to Maine so I dont trick myself with"everything is ok, I dont think I have gained" thinking!

Could use encouragement as I am feeling really angry with myself right now!

Thanks!

@lacatgirl

Count me in for encouragement and support!

As a group, we are most welcoming, supportive & glad to help!

We have a lot of experience & wisdom, and care a great deal about each other.

I am so glad you have joined us.

Tracey - Hope you enjoy your covid 'vacation'. Don't be surprised if you feel a bit tired and low even when you are 'over' the covid. It will pass eventually if you take lots of rest.

Love Heather UK xxxxxx

@lacatgirl, keep coming back, daily if you can. It helps me to be connected to others who share my determination to be healthier. don't waste energy on being angry. just develop a plan that works for you and make it part of your life.

Good morning ladies!

My date cancelled. He's looking for an urgent care dentist instead. I'm kinda glad he cancelled, because if he can't talk and he can't eat, he's not much of a lunch date.

So I'm back to my yoga this morning. Or maybe this afternoon, I'm in no hurry.

Tracey, so sorry you caught Covid. Hope it passes quickly. Delaware is back to masks for indoor public settings.

Barbie, thanks for the new thread!

Heather good luck with your publishing! You inspire the rest of us writers.

I've got a new and improved plot outline for mine, but I'm still tweaking it. The middle is all about talking to suspects; it needs more action. Maybe a dental emergency! Lol

Love reading that Katla! DH is right there with you. ahhhhh... good times.

Boy, the humidity is just swamping out the entire US right now! Our ticks and skeeters aren't too bad this year, they say, Lisa. Grateful for that, but we NEED the rain so bad. My cousin has Lyme's from a bite years ago and it's just debilitating. He ended up retiring at like 40... I think.

We're doing the 90-100s here in MN too Vicki! Wtheck?!? It's just nasty everywhere!

Oh my Barbara! My friend in Cali has produce growing out of her ears! (pardon the pun). Her FB pictures every day are amazing. Is it just that the up the coast has been too cool? What gives?

So sorry Tracey. Hope the symptoms stay minor and you "keep it to yourself".

Welcome back lacatgirl! We're here for ya!

I had the WORST time getting in work-mode yesterday so I gotta put in some hours today. But when I finally did get into it I got something started so at least I'll know where to start today. So......... I'm off to work again today... right'chere, at this computer.

Love ya, Carla, in MN

Good morning,

Would love to join here. I am back on MFP after a looong hiatus. I am refocusing my energies on me. My Daughter (and only child) who has been my main focus for 18 years is entering University in a few weeks and I am working on forging better habits to cope with the "Empty Nest" sadness I know I am going to go through. Would love suggestions on how to work though this without turning to food for comfort.
