@juliemouse83 - that all sounds terrible. I'm 55 and would not be able to do that. However, I have several pairs of padded, fingerless bike gloves that I wear while cycling and separate pairs for yard work and driving the tractor. The pads prevent blisters. When using them outside, I wear work gloves over them. Maybe your medical gloves will fit over them. That way your hands won't be as sore. As for your feet, if your shoes are more than 6 months old, you are not getting the amount of support you need. Maybe good walking shoes and good padded socks. It all just sounds like an untenable situation made worse by a warm body literally not pulling anyone's weight.

I don't see my post above, so I guess I haven't done so yet (or else it is languishing somewhere on a previous but incorrect date) - but i DID sign up for the June group!
June 21

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes - long outside evening walk with DH; decent pacing-breaks during the workday.
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes (with upped daily calorie-level, fitbit doesn't throw as many "exercise credit calories" at me any more .... but still just under, as per stabilization plan)
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Days goals met: 19
Pass days used: 2 (1 pre-planned; 1 unintentional)

@readyornot1234 I've successfully avoided going to court. My daughter and law partner, Diana, loves the litigator life. She did not get that from me.

I have a serious procrastination problem. I need firm deadlines, procedures, and rules. I do especially well when the smoke I see is about to burst into flames.

I like being quick on my feet and witty, but interpersonal combat brings out the dark side in me and it doesn't want to be stuffed back in later.

Ahhh but always ready. No need for combat when you have preparation on your side. Although it does take a day or 2 sometimes to come down from the rush of a good cross and volleying objections.
