Many of us feel the need to remain connected by just signing in on a daily basis. We may have a lot to say or very little. We may say smart things, or dumb things. It doesn't matter if we're having a good day, a bad day...or something in between. We'll post our thoughts, our successes, our challenges, our insights (or lack thereof), and our support. We're here for each other. Together, we can do this!

This isn't about perfection...it's about perseverance: to persist in an undertaking in spite of counter influences, opposition, or discouragement.

Onward and Downward. Everyone is welcome!

    Home from the hospital, but feel like garbage, check hurts from the incision, cannot walk more than a few steps before I get winded, blood pressure elevated, but heart rate looks pretty good, so hopefully the other symptoms will correct over time.

    Good morning! Take care, @cakeman21k!

    It's a gorgeous, frosty, blue-sky day here - seriously, my favorite thing about Minnesota winters. When I lived in Ohio we had only the slimmest concepts of "nice" winter days!

    Good morning. We're having an Ohio winter morning here - grey and cold.

    @cakeman - what did you have surgery on? (If you're willing to share). Thoughts and prayers. I know how hard that is to physically not be able to do the things you want to do. Exhaustion is a beast.


    Good morning, afternoon.... mid 30s in the south (Memphis). BRRRRR Thank goodness I have a furnace. I also have ritz crackers, oreo's and mini hershey bars. None of which are the epitome of health. I need to start adding fruit instead. Making and following a plan....

    In October I did a No-OFF-Days / ON IT October.... 3 weeks I pre-wrote my entire planned foods and I stuck to it. I was making good progress....then halloween happened..... my mom went back into the Hospital. I hate to blame her, because it's me - and I need to get a better ability to stick to it.

    That's all for now.
    Oh, PS. Mom's doctor visit today seemed to go well. I was Face Timed in to it and, the doctor has great plas for getting her edema down/water weight off. Starting IV Lasix today.
