What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? hum?
What would I have done differently? exercise (more than a walk around the mall)
What is today's personal goals? check in, track food and the elliptical. I was so hungry this morning, cold, tired and didn't want to work out. I went and I feel so much better. My Y is going through a $10M renovation. The building is over 100 years old. Today there was some sort of funky smell (burning). Hopefully the renovation and toxic smells won't kill me...LOL. Tomorrow I will be shoveling. Expecting a foot of snow :noway: Might have to mix up walking outside, going to a different Y and going to my Y. The renovation can't be good for my health.

Not too bad today. They opened a side door, lined it with plastic and have some device sucking the air out. Too bad it's 16 degrees out...LOL I warmed up quickly though!!

Have been unable to keep up... but hopefully, can now get rolling, again.
I am out of town and have been for a couple weeks.
My Mom was in the ER on Jan. 10th with GI problems. Was discharged on Jan. 14th in the evening... and was back in there within 3 hours as she had a heart attack when she came home.
I left town on the 10th and am still gone. I am so glad that I am here to help her.
She is back home and doing well.

Ladies please note that the signs of heart attack in women are often much different than in men. My Mom had back pain, then nausea, then vomited. Those were the signs for her. She was lucky that she did not have to have a biopsy, angioplast, stint or anything. She is thin and this heart attack was due to stress.

I hope to begin posting regularly even though I am still in Memphis, TN.
I have gained back 3.6 pounds.

Ladies,

My 71 year old mom just passed away at 2:50 today. She started feeling bad on Wednesday and on Thursday we called 911. She was admitted into ICU and 24 hours later passed away - pneumonia, heart attack, septic shock and so on... Such a very sad day for me. She was fine when I was at her house on Monday. I went over on Wed and Thurs. to check on her and that's when I called 911. So scary - I thought I had more time with her. She still needed to go see my daughter cheer and get her award at school.

I really need to find some strength to get through this.

Kristen
