@Walela617 Hi Carole, Thanks for your insight. It is super scary when I see in plain sight how hard my heart is working. My husband on the other hand will have 2 G&Tonics, two glasses of wine and a scotch and then sleep like a baby and his fitbit shows his heart rate is the same whether he drinks or not. We are all wired…

I have not been posting because I am drinking nearly every day. Not a ton of wine but always a half bottle .... and then I have to make myself stop! Sometimes I drink nearly the whole bottle of wine and then the next day, my fitbit yells at me by saying my heart rate was 10 beats higher than normal all night long. I am not…

@EternalTruth That is a long time to be suffering from bronchitis. So sorry you are going through that. The Italian Wedding soup is a little time consuming, because you are making tiny little meatballs (pork and beef) and then lightly frying them. But my husband and I make it together and it goes much faster. This weekend,…

I love soup. I could eat it every day! The only problem is my soup tastes bland when I make it. However, I have mastered Italian wedding soup. Can I have your bean and ham soup recipe? Message me◡̈

So sorry about your migraines. That is so debilitating. I hope you get relief soon.

I've been doing yoga and Pilates for a few months now (twice a week). Today, I saw the benefit. I was getting out of my car and my foot slipped on black ice and I did the splits. I'm in my mid 50s (age) and I could have been really hurt. But I was not hurt. I may feel sore tomorrow but overall, I am fine. Thank goodness…

@faurotann Thanks so much for answering Laurie's question. That is so helpful!! @laurierose28 Welcome to our group! :)

Hi Carole, It is a struggle. But you have done very very well!! I'm happy you are regrouping and will try again. Totally agree how much money it costs to drink. Doubles the restaurant bill. Adds $100 on my grocery bill.

HW 206 lbs. Summer of 2023 Current weight: 2/1 169.5 lbs Welcome to everyone! It's nice to share our progress, ideas and even share when things are not going well. I went to the doctor yesterday, and he congratulated me for "not being obese" anymore. I was slightly embarrassed but at the same time quite proud. I believe my…

Went to yoga last night. It is a snowy day here. The studio was warm, cozy, candlelit and at first I kept yawning doing the poses, but by the end I was in heaven at how relaxed I felt. I slept so well.

@globalhiker I love Zumba!! I haven't been in a few years, but I think it is excellent for coordination and for keeping the brain sharp. Love the music. @SunnyDays930 congrats on 7 days AF!! So proud of you!

@Walela617 Such a sweet cat! Beautiful color, too.

Happy New Year, friends! I am so happy to be on this journey with you. It helps me to know I'm not alone in my struggle to be AF. I will keep on trying. We're staying home this evening and watching hockey. I'll cook dinner. I'm really content and happy not to be going out. Sometimes, I just want to be at home with my…
