☘️☘️ ☘️ ☘️☘️ ☘️ ☘️ Shamrock Challenge (17, 18, 19, 22, 24, 25, 26)
So, JFT, Wed
1. going to lunch with gym friends .. make wise choices Got a ceasar salad with no dressing, and just water. No beer!
2. concentrate on water
3. get daughters taxes done Ready to take in now
4. mindful eating
Tonite has been such a sad day for me, but I have to stay strong and not let hubby know what I read. I have to stop doing my own research, and wait until we talk to the radiolgist tomorrow. But on the report, they called his prostate cancer "castration-resistant". This is why they are not doing surgery. So .. I googled it. It says this has a bleak outcome, the average survival is 13 months. So I am sick. I have not said anything to my husband. . he said he is going to ask the doctor tomorrow what that means .. I have not told him I researched it. But when I googled it, it sounds so scary. Like its going to keep spreading, and he will be in pain, because eventually it will spread to his bones. The radiation and therapies may slow it down some. After a good cry in the bathroom so he would not see me, I grabbed my yarn and crochet needles, and went and sat beside him while he listens to music.
I do not know how to crochet! I mostly sew. But I thought what better time to learn... keeps my mind busy, I can sit near him, and not be on the internet scaring myself. I will wait until we talk to the doctor, and hope they give us lots of encouragement.
SO goals for tomorrow again are simple. It has been a hard month, and with the shooting last nite harder. So I am trying not to push myself, and just maintain.
JFT, Thurs
1. log all food
2. concentrate on water
3. keep thoughts positive. Do not let my mind wander and think of worse cases
4. going to doctor with hubby.... pray for the best, and pray they can start treatment soon. THis is the worse .. the waiting.
5. work on chemo hate
6. work on crochets .. one step at a time

Hello my team,
I hope everyone is doing alright on 1/2way through day. Had a good day but was pretty run down by the end. I don't think I got enough calories at the start of my day, and I haven't been sleeping well. Looking forward to the March sleep challenge I'm going to do.
@asthesoapturns Welcome and good luck to you!
@beachwalker99 You're on! March 1st it is!
@pridesabtch 100% WOO HOO! Nicely done, keep up that momentum
@mytime6630 That sounds terrifying-I am so sorry something like that happed in one of your safe spaces. Thinking of you during this time. I can't imagine how stressful that would be. Good luck tomorrow, hopefully you get some helpful answers. *hugs* my friend, and take care of you.
@PackerFanInGB That news would be hard to hear, but I'm glad your looking to what you can do. I've had a few friends/family that did the knee replacement. I won't lie, it's a tough initial recovery, but they said it makes a world of difference once you're through and they feel MUCH better.
@TerriRichardson112 can you add a shamrock for today (26) Thanks!

@mytime6630 - what a tragedy. I don’t and will never understand how people think that the way to solve their problems is by hurting others.
I am so sorry that you have read what you did on the internet about your husbands illness, I hope the doctor has better news for you.
@cschmitz110515 - good for you for getting our walking.
@PackerFanInGB - that knee sounds incredibly painful! Listen to the doctors
I went to a talk on Dementia tonight at work. It was interesting, I took about 10 pages of notes.
I have known for a number of years that Dementia is really the symptom of several diseases, but didn’t realize that 60 different diseases cause dementia. Of course, Alzheimer’s is about 60% the second is Vascular Dystrophy which is mostly brought on by our own habits, high blood pressure, high blood sugars and smoking are leading causes.

@bookmeister86 Love the sound of pancake day! Is this a family tradition, or a friend event? Glad to hear you found less is more satisfying!
Pancake day is amazing! Can't believe you don't have it, you're missing out (where are you based again?)
It's a historical tradition, takes place the day before the forty days of Lent. Traditionally people fasted in Lent so the day before they used up all the fatty sugary things by making pancakes, so they weren't available in the fasting period. These days, I don't think anyone fasts for forty days (though some people do give up certain things) but we do the pancakes still as they are yummy
This is a link with details of pancake day including what these pancakes are like (they are not like American pancakes, they're more like French crepes - and actually the ones we had were crepes as my boyfriend is French and made them!)

I'm really sorry to hear what you read what you did. I agree with Snowflake that you should wait to hear what the doctor says. There is a lot of misleading (and contradictory) information on the internet so better to listen to a trusted expert. Taking up crochet to keep yourself away from internet research sounds like an excellent idea!
Even if it does turn out to be true, 'average' is often a very unhelpful term. We are all different and respond to illnesses and treatments in different ways. Your hubby could well respond better, even MUCH better, than the 'average'.
Will be thinking of you and praying for you both. Xx2 -
A good day yesterday and ended in the green - can I have a shamrock please @TerriRichardson112 ? (That was the 26th).
Today I will not be in the green as I am going out for Thai food for lunch, however I am running to work (despite the fact that it is cold and raining) and should be able to stay in maintenance. I'll have to get shamrocks on other days (not sure when as I'm going out/away a lot over the next few days, but hopefully I can manage the odd one!)
Yesterday's goals:
- Track all food and drink
- Be in the green with a deficit
- Not have unplanned snacks/ binge outside the home
- 45+ min lunch break
- Go for a walk at lunch
- (If time) read relationship article

- Positive affirmations
- Finish by 6pm 6.30
- Talk to boyfriend in French

@PackerFanInGB - so sorry to hear about your knee. I know you’re disappointed about not being able to fully participate in the work challenge, but I can’t help think that you were selected at this time for a reason! This knee issue would have come up regardless of if you were in the challenge or not, but coming now you have the opportunity to learn from a trainer and keep advancing your fitness despite the diagnosis! I wish you well!

@PackerFanInGB That's really sucky about your knee! I'm so sorry! Hopefully the treatments that you have planned with help with the pain.
@mytime6630 I'm so sorry about the shooting. That must have been a complete shock! I'm praying for you and your hubby as well as your whole community. You've definitely had a rough time of it. Something awesome will happen soon!
@pridesabtch Have an AWESOME time in Boston! My fingers are crossed for your oldest! I'm so sorry that your girls are having such a rough time. I remember when I was in high school. It definitely wasn't easy. You and your whole family are in my prayers, my dear!
@azulvioleta6 We have a student in the class that I work with that routinely has 25k steps a day. He has autism and one of his things is that he spins, for hours when he's home. So we think that's where he gets all of his steps. Lol. 3 of the paras have step trackers so we always compare steps with him. It's crazy! Lol.
@meraki6 I took 3 years of cooking classes in high school but by the time I needed to start cooking for myself 10 years later I had forgotten most of what I learned. So I kinda had to learn as I went. Thank God I have a gracious husband who eats just about everything I've ever made. Lol. I'm actually pretty good at it now. I haven't really branched out to just adding things to a pan and seeing what happens yet though. But maybe one day! But don't be too hard on yourself about it. You're just now learning.4 -

- Not binge
- Log all food Definitely went over, but didn't binge
- Work on laundry My lord I have a lot of laundry...
@mytime6630 I can't imagine range of emotions you are feeling. Be kind to yourself and trust in God. My prayers are with you my friend.
A little snafu in the Boston plan. They moved Sierra's race to 3:00pm instead of 11:00am. Hopefully somebody will buy my Blue Man Group tickets or I'm out $400, which sucks, but isn't the end of the world. Another tricky thing for a 3:00pm race is nutrition and weigh-ins. Sierra is a fly weight which is <115lb, and her weight is right at 115. You want her fueled and hydrated, but not heavy... They weigh in 2 hours before they race so that is like 1:00 pm. I'm thinking breakfast around 10:00, weigh at 1:00, then eat a light lunch. Normally she rows light weight which is <135 and we've never had to worry about weigh ins... Today, I'll work on rearranging our schedule a bit.
I was over calories yesterday, but I didn't "binge" so it's better.
JFT Thursday
- Log Food
- Figure out how to connect remotely using our new software... ugh
- Re-plan trip a bit
