    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

    Kristen - I'm so sorry! That is too young, and so fast. My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. Take care of yourself!

    sunshyncatra - CONGRATS! on reaching your goal weight! I'm sorry I didn't see that before now! Good for you!!!!!

    I'm still struggling a bit. I've got a bum left foot (plantar-fasciitis - diagnosed years ago and comes and goes, is worse this time), and my wonky right knee from sledding over a week ago. I did go to step class last Friday and Saturday, rested Sunday ... and then yesterday both injuries were bothering me so I skipped any exercising. I did body pump today because this morning both foot and knee felt good - now they hurt again. Very frustrating! And my eating is all over the place. I really need to get a plan and get focused again.

    Did you stay within your nutritional goals? not too far off
    Did I reach yesterday's personal goal? no
    What did I do yesterday that I am proud of? ate well most of the day
    What would I have done differently? dinner and bedtime snack were too many calories and carbs
    What is today's personal goals? stay under in calories, already did body pump
    Winter goal (3/19) - 220

    ISTPAUL - Sorry about knee and foot. I had a sore foot a couple of weeks ago and I could hardly walk on it.
    Mine was a cramp in my arch but I roll my foot on a ball and that helps a lot. I hope you get better soon.
    It's very frustrating when you can't work out.:flowerforyou:

    I had lunch with a friend today and we talked about South Beach. She is very interested in
    nutrition and she is taking courses to be a nurse(lives in the US). She asked how many
    calories I am using in a day and I told her since I am tracking everything right now. I never
    did the first time I was on this plan. She thinks I am in starvation mode, but I did lose 2
    pounds this week, but I also told her I was hungry at times mostly at night after dinner.
    I am sending her the book title and she is going to check it out for me. Can't hurt to get
    some opinions.
