Hello, I've been MIA again. What a roller coaster life is! I have been struggling with depression I believe. Maybe a mid-life crisis. I'm at that age, and really am not looking forward to the hormonal swings of menopause. In the midst of all that, I did get engaged and since we've been together 9 years, decided to do a…

My two walking buddies. The 'fish lover' isn't much of a runner and my "elf dog" is like many others where I would die if he went running with me. LOVE seeing all the dogs.

You impress me daily with your perseverance. I am certain I would surrender to the diseases. Sometimes we get caught up in our heads and like I said when that happens, you get are stuck in an evil cycle. I'm brushing myself off and moving forward; and extremely grateful that the damage was minimal.

Just for today June 24th 1. log all food 2. drink 8 glasses of water 3. do crunches/push-ups/squats/tricep dips + 20 mins walking

@vicky1947mfp - My thoughts are with you during this rough time.

Just for today June 23rd 1. log all food 2. drink 8 glasses of water 3. 30 minutes jogging Ruby - I have been right there with you my dear. Suffering from what I like to refer to as the "spoiled child inside me" I know and understand what I need to do to be healthy and frankly happy, but I fight it because it seems so…

Trying to get back into it. I am really struggling in all areas, not just diet/exercise: Just for Today June 22nd 1. log all food 2. drink 8 glasses of water 3. do exercises: push-ups/sit-ups/squats

Good morning, it has been a long, long, loooong while since I have checked in with this group. It has also been a long time since I have logged or paid any attention to my diet. I think I am ready to get back on track. I use the term "think" because I do not have the conviction that I have had in the past. Not really sure…

Just for Today 05/26 1. log every bite 2. low carbs

I usually make my bed every morning, but if my sweetheart is still in it when I leave in the morning, it gets made when I get home, or before I go to bed. I get cranky if my blankets are disheveled or not square on the bed.

I am lost....and struggling to find my way back. :'(

Thank you! I did. We did not get thunderstorms. In fact, it cleared up and ended with blue skies.

I'm just checking in to see what others are writing. Did not check in yesterday, did not achieve Friday's goals. Today is my birthday and we are going to have a house full of people, with some possible thunderstorms... Just for Today 5/17 1 HAVE FUN and do not stress

@feistyjojo - I really love your new profile pic :)

alcohol...that dirty, dirty temptress

Just for Today 05/15 1. DO NOT TAKE ON A WEEKEND ATTITUDE 2. log, log, log 3. exercise

I ended up with exactly what I wanted and knew that going in :) I was even pre-qualified for the loan. The car dealership was just having issues that day.

Those are good cars.

@azulvioleta6 - Congrats! What type of car did you get. It truly sucks how long that process takes. We had an appointment at noon to look at a car, I finally left the dealership after 7. :open_mouth:

Great job! Drinking water seems to be a difficult one for most people. I do great when sitting at a desk at work all day, but on weekends, I fail miserably.

Just for Today 05/14 1. log 2. exercise 3. keep it low carb 4. evening vitamins I really would like to see a loss tomorrow, but it would be a pipe dream considering how poorly I was eating the previous week.

One of my favorite breakfasts is steel cut oatmeal with peanut butter. YUM! High calorie, but it keeps you going. :)
