Hi gals! Very busy couple of days.. Bella likes the program so far. She's 2 days in. thank you so much for all of your great support and love.

My eating has been off too. The stress for sure. I've been really good about taking this yoga class though. I'm doing 4x a week. I can already feel myself getting stronger and I can see muscle tone. So all good.

We can do this 💪 🙌 ❤️

Karen my daughter struggles with mental issues with her daughter Kaeldra also. I am wishing the best for both girls. It can be so trying sometimes. And both of your girls have been having issues for years. Not just normal issues. Hugs and hoping for the best.

Chris I have been bad lately also. But glad you enjoyed family time and got in some walking.

Kathy we are in the homestretch for this month. Lets really try hard to drop a few pounds or gain some muscle.

Going to work out tonight with weights.

Shelley

Thanks for sharing....so you get how hard it is first hand!

Karen

Not sure where to start

Kathy I struggled with watch choices also. I like how bright mine is. Wish it vibrated longer. And love the size. Mainly I want to be on our challenges together. Keep going to planet fitness. It is so stressful at times you need that time to do something good for you.

Chris I actually laughed at the first picture of Ronan. He cracks me up. What a cutie.

Paula so happy to hear from you. Time sharing the cats is so you. Glad you kicked the alcohol. The rest will come.

Karen I do understand how real the struggle can be. Kaeldra has been seeing someone forever it seems. Her therapist talks with my daughter lots. But her husband won't go. Frustrating. Kaeldra is so negative about everything. Nothing is ever good enough. She pretends to have numerous personalities. Even male. And gets upset if you don't get her name right. Her therapist says many young people are acting like this on tick tock. Or some such. They talk about their traumas, dress up all the time and constantly act like a new person. She is concerned that if it continues it will be a long term problem. This is every day. She acts out if she is not the center of attention at all times. I would have shaken her by now if I was her mom. And popped her bottom if she rolled her eyes at me like she does her parents. She stomps around complaining all the time. I hope a light bulb comes on in her head before the damage is irreversible. She even shaved her head! Now that is a trauma!

Keep being yourself and the worlds best mom to Belle.

So today I was given the lead in security to take Dale Eaton into court for his re-sentencing. He murdered an 18 year old girl back in 1988. I kept saying I hate you over and over in my head. I had to. The victims mom and 2 sisters gave heart wrenching impact statements. And I could not cry. He will never be a free man. There was a book written about her. I think it was called Little Miss.

I have slowly been getting my eating under control. Feels good.

I forgot to post...our basement fitness area is coming together...more ro do...but on our way. Mom is excited about the treadmill!

Chris thanks. And I so get the kid stuff. Best stuff ever. We also had a beautiful day. Hope you get some rain.

Karen that sounds like Kaeldra. She also is angry towards her mom. And what trauma? There wasn't any. If asked she will say the car wreck when she was little. It was a rear end bump that she slept through. But she did come over and actually smiled today. Hope yet. 😃

Worked out with my friend today. It was tough. But we loved it.

Shelley

It feels odd to hear you folks welcome me back when it doesn't feel like I leave. Sometimes I drop in but don't say anything but I'm here. And the "time passes faster when you're older" thing is so true. It feels like a week goes past in a day. So, I haven't left! Just squeezed in a little corner... appreciating you all.

Shelley and Karen, What you're going through with your children and grandchildren is so heart wrenching. My prayers are with you.

Chris and Kathy, Love all.

Too bad the purple gun couldn't come out without causing trouble for Shell, cuz prison is too good for some folks. Life just isn't fair.

paula

Did a yoga class tonight and it kicked my butt! I'm going to feel it tomorrow. Heck I feel it now lol!

Thanks for the kind words out our home gym. Took my husband a year to get those weights and rack during COVID. Remember when no one could get weights? He was like a kid in a candy store when the truck pulled up;)

Karen

Monday: full body strength training - 60 minutes, elliptical - 15 minutes and Treadmill- 20 minutes. Went to PF after my father’s treatment. Great stress reliever!
