I got on the scale yesterday. OMG. I have been in menopause since I was 43. im going to be 51 in Aug. My brain fog seems worst. sometimes I think its just me. lol. Im HOT always HOT. The weight dam. I have been eating the same for the last year and no movement up or down. I cant seem to do any exercise right now. its killing me I love to walk. My knee hurts. cant wait to go to the drs. I used to be very focused on logging, walking and meal prepping. not so much, my husband is no longer to work or drive, we have a 16yr boy still at home. I am the person that does everything. I havent cooked supper in a few years, my 2 older kids have moved out. Im stuck my son is never home. When I get home from work the last thing I want to do is cook. I forget how to do this group thing. I think i started correctly but starting a new discussion?

hope everyone has a great tuesday. Lets make it a great day.

Definitely - let’s make it a great day! Everyday is a new opportunity to work toward our goals. Messed up yesterday? Don’t give up, start again!
Gsheppy, life sounds very overwhelming right now. Could you pick one thing to start with? Maybe increasing your water intake, or walking at lunch? As for being hot all the time, I get it! It stinks!

The best advice I received several years ago is to prioritize yourself. Make yourself number one! As days are overwhelming and require so much of us, it's important to step back and ask the question...what have I done for myself today.

Most evenings at 8 pm, my witching hour, I get ready for bed and read for an hour or so. It gives me a chance to spend time with just me. I know that may sound selfish, but it's my favorite time of the day. :-)

I try do get time to myself but my husband is always around. I don’t get alone time. I like to be alone at home. Lol. Yes I know I have to put me first. So much at one time. I have a very big plate. I have a scattered brain. Sometimes the meds don’t work. Lol. Work in progress.

How did today go Gsheppy? I like Kmhibbs suggestion to find time for yourself. It can help you focus and decompress. When I still had kids living at home, I would get up earlier than everyone so I could spend 20 minutes or so by myself. Prayer, meditation, and journaling, all come easier in a quiet house.

It went ok. It’s hard to get any time to myself. I have to leave the apt to do that. My husband is there all the time. I’m up at 6-630. I like that time but sometimes my husband is up at that time also. Lol. I did not do good eating but. Work in progress.
