    @cory17 Thanks for the advice! I will go tonight! And I'll do arms and chest maybe. I wish my gym had a steam room or jacuzzi! Lol. But I can always just take a nice hot shower. That usually really helps me.

    @Bex953172 How have you been feeling the last few days? Have you needed to take the tabs?

    Lol I wasn’t joking when I said it was luminous green!!
    That’s all from my neighbour (and partly nature) but she never washed the floor from her dogs.
    I love it though, I have all the curtains and blinds open at the back of the house now where I used to shut them because it was just awful to look at!

    And doesn't it lift your spirits to be able to let light in and have a view to the outside? Do you have a grill?

    I'm very proud of myself. Lol. I dragged myself off the couch and out of the house. I stopped for coffee(my 4th cup!!) and then went to Staples and the food store. I'm actually really surprised I did it. I'm feeling more alert now too. And the gym is actually looking like a possibility. I forgot that is no hockey on tonight so there isn't really anything for us to watch so I figure I'll leave him home with his video games and I'll go spend some time making myself sweat. Lol

    Funny how you can have a successful day based on your initial goals but so many other challenges thrown up you still feel rubbish. I did nearly everything I planned to do today but still feel like a failure because work was so tough today. Going to try and stay positive because of the ticks but maybe fewer goals for tomorrow...

    Recap 29/1
    - exercise before kids get up ✅
    - 15k + steps ✅ over 20k by bedtime!!
    - 2ltr + water ✅
    - stay within calorie goal ✅ steps and exercise gave me a nice big goal to play with :D
    - letter for class parent ✅
    - email to year group parents ✅
    - guided reading books ✅
    - contact twining schools :# this will not realistically happen before Thursday
    - order dvd of daughter’s show ✅

    Goals for tomorrow:

    - exercise first thing
    - Water 2ltr +
    - Stay within calorie goal
    - Try not to take on too much. Can only do so much for each of the 30 kids in my class. Try not to let one pocket of negativity affect everything else.
    - If not too tired try and get to yoga after work to decompress while my own kids are with their grandparents.

    That is all. Def time for a sleep. Night all x

    @MLHC1 What are you specialising in within Chemistry? My degree was Chemistry! I specialised in Organic - final year thesis I was trying to make azetidines. I failed, hence not having anything to do with Chemistry anymore :D

    Or how one person can derail you with an unkind word? I know we choose to allow ourselves to be affected so greatly. But. What if you hadn't done all those daily goals? Exercising, hydrating, eating well? You may have well been weaker physically, mentally, and emotionally when the negativity occurred. We are in a process of change! Just by meeting these goals you are a healthier you all around. And one day, you will handle the negativity differently---because you are going onward and upward.

    Peace and joy tomorrow!

    @slittlemeister and @MLHC1 I’m a reformed chemist too. Organic. But haven’t done chemistry for 20some years. Though I wish I remembered more biochem from school with my new job.

    Log :) I saw some “extra”calories and had to go have a piece of cake. Boo.
    Walk at work :) funny story, my boss found me and joined me during my walk, and I got an assignment for her while walking. Not going to fall for that anymore.
    Stand during one meeting :)
    Try not to let my new workload get me down :/ Hard to do, it’s getting so piled on.

    Hello everyone! I'm sorry I didn't hop on earlier but I was busy all day at work and then I had to go to oncology appointment for my 6-year follow up post treatment. I usually come home from these feeling happy, happy, happy! But this year I can't celebrate just yet...the Oncologist found some suspicious areas that he can't say for sure aren't cancer. So...that means I go for an MRI next week, Tuesday, and follow up on Thursday for the results. I'm hopeful and feeling very optimistic that the MRI will be clear with nothing to worry about. The doctor didn't say he thought the areas ARE cancer...he just couldn't say for certainty that they AREN'T. If that makes sense? So, not horrible news, but not exactly what I wanted to hear either. I don't really know how I feel right now. Cautiously optimistic? :/

    @Bex953172 Your back yard looks AMAZING! You really worked hard! Holy crap! Looks like two different places. It's lovely and my first thought was how nice it would be to sit out there and grill out. Very nice. Also, I'm going to have to put the quilt on hold for now. I'm so happy you understand. Doctor doesn't even want me to go to therapy right now for the arm swelling (lymphedema) because he wants to make sure he knows what's going on first.

    I want to also thank everyone so much for the prayers and positive vibes. It meant a lot to me to log on and see that from so many. You guys are really just awesome. Thank you so much for caring.

    Love and hugs to you all,
    Tracie

    Don't look back...you're not going that way!

    It's interesting how getting healthier affects every part of our being. Our countenance. Our confidence. Our peace. Our joy. Our lack of need to hold on to food and stuff. We are changing...and this change is GOOD! (Just know, I still have at least 8 tubs of books,lol!! It's a process, right?!)

    Peace and joy!

    SO agree with you - I have been doing the same .... one closet or drawer at a time!! It feels so good having "uncluttered" space.

    ANd CONGRATS on losing 10 pounds already!!! Awesome!!

    So I am actually going to go to the gym! I think the fact that I made myself get up and run some errands earlier gave me what I needed to get back up.

    This is how I feel - I now find that I actually really enjoy going to the gym, and miss it the days I don't go. It helps that I met some wonderful people there who have become friends.

    And ... I love your new profile!!
