    CeeBee,
    Have you considered assisted living facilities for your parents? There are some really wonderful ones and I think they are such a healthy choice for the whole in many situations.
    Also, I recommend looking into GABA for stress. It is a natural supplement that I've found very effective when I need it.

And I have found that saying the lords prayer will almost always put me to sleep. I lay in bed, I do this, I start the Lords prayer and I drift off to sleep (last night I had to say it twice). But then I go to sleep in peace - as I have put it in my Fathers hands.

    Amen! <3

    7 months postpartum and my goal is to get back to my prepregnancy weight (I have 20 lbs to go). Anyone looking to be accountability buddies? I could definitely use the extra accountability

    @justgirl81Thanka for the gaba recommendation. Will look into that. Unfortunately, my personal experiences with those care facilities haven’t been the best. The facilities have given great tours, orientations, start off great - but become more complacent. Family members needed to be constantly present to ensure their loved ones were getting the care and attention they needed. Makes me even more nervous as my mom wouldn’t even be able to articulate her needs well. Ugh. Sometimes it feels like such a blessing and privilege - other times I feel like I want some office hours with the Almighty to get some questions answered! 😄😄

    Fly by.
    Mom’s not doing as well as I would like. Admitted to the nursing home and now she’s not feeling well so she has a appt at the clinic. This stage in life sucks.

    3rd week of getting my workouts in, started tracking food again this week too, even if I'm going over my kcal for the day, at least no more "ignorance" to reality.
    Overall doing well, dorked my arm up some for sure but I can do "most" things so while it's tender and off it's not too limiting other than the hole still healing over (which takes time as large and deep as that was).
    Hoping to see some successful budging on the scale before too long - tiny bit this week, but the scale has been up and down a lot the past few months.

    Sorry to hear about your mom @SherryRueter. Such a struggle. Tired. Tired. Tired. Up and down. Read something interesting. Too long but in short it was a way to look as forward to your nutritional habits and routine as you do your workouts. Without that - it’s hard to sustain and a life of struggle. Will read when my head is clearer.

    Staying busy, getting my workouts in. Hoping we get some decent fall weeks here this year.
    Tracking my food (goal is a minimum of 5 days/week) even if I blow way past goal, at least quit sticking my head in the sand about what I'm consuming.
    Had a busy weekend, but at least relaxed a bit as well so it was nice. The extra day was huge though since my Saturday I was busting booty all day trying to finish up a huge chore and couple other items around the house.

    I'm in a NO sugar challenge for September. So far so good.

    I don't agree with all of the rules they have for the daily "points".
    Like "no fast food.
    I'm like... seriously, a chicken nugget doesn't have sugar in it chick.
    and... tbh... Dairy creamer is okay (IMO). Ice cream maybe not, but that 1-2TBSP of creamer in my coffee is staying. (sometimes I use protein shake instead).

    I'm back at home. FEELS SO good to be back home again.
