@SuziQ113 - thank you for the information. I have been getting busier and had popcorn for dinner last night. My brain just refused to participate. So popcorn. I have been saying that I need a plan but haven’t put one in place. It’s time.

@Dory_42 - I read your posts and am almost always humbled by your kindness, compassion and generosity. You are also in my top 10 list of most interesting people. I’m still trying to picture how you peel the skin off a snake. Tuesday, October 20 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, golf walk 18 holes - ~4 hours

@KCJen - let me know how it goes. The kids are all grown and moved out. My husband eats far too much takeout. You’re inspiring me to start preparing single servings in ramekins so we can eat healthy during the week when crunched for time.

@KCJen - they are so cute. And, yes, mini Dutch ovens would be adorable!! But probably not needed. I love the big mug/soup bowls. I have them in red. They are so nice to eat soup out of. Enjoy!

NSV - both physical and mental health wise, I feel much better when I am at a healthy weight, eating well and moving. After almost 16 months of being out of remission,I feel like I am starting to head back there which hopefully means I can go from getting infusions every 4 weeks to maybe 5, then 6, all the way to a…

@KCJen - congratulations on you MBA. Please know that you are not alone in all of this. I’m struggling as well and am having a hard time living in this limbo. I too have decided that, since this apparently is the new normal for an indefinite amount of time, it’s time to get on with life as best I can. So here we go.

@maltedtea - my upper body strength is horrendous. Hmmm. I’m thinking 25 pounds is scary! Although with 15 pound dumbbells I’m pretty much there for deadlifts etc. I’ll start looking for a kettlebell. It’s hard to find weights right now at reasonable prices. I am checking out the t-nation site once I post this. Thank you.

@KCJen - I yo-yo consistently. It seems I lose 25-30 pounds in 4-5 months, gain it all back, a bunch of months pass, I lose 25-30 pounds, repeat for decades ... Since the beginning of November 2019, I have been trying a different approach. I lost 5 pounds, then did maintenance for a month or two at that weight. Then I lost…

@MaltedTea - your workout sounds interesting. I know you’ve been posting it, but I can’t remember. What were your starting numbers? What does it entail? Is it helping your upper body strength?

Mindfulness/meditation/qigong have helped immensely. Just like physical exercise, it has taken a few solid weeks for me to see any benefit, but it has been 4 months now and I am so glad I stuck with it.

That is getting framed and put on my wall!

😎. But, seriously, I’m hoping there are some in this challenge. I know there is at least one editor out there. Man, now I’m losing my mind over comma placement ... or am I missing a “.” because it was the end of a sentence? I seriously need to find my Bluebook. I think I saw it somewhere about 20 plus years ago. Is it…

Tuesday, October 13 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, lift lower body Pass days to date - 2 It was a rainy, cold day today. Yesterday I made the chicken soup from the October 5 blog of fall soup recipes. It was so easy to make (Crockpot) and so good. We had it last night and then again today. I usually stick to…

I’m on 2 pass days and because it’s not even mid month, I will most likely have 1 or 2 more. I have been in this challenge for 10 months now and have come close to the winner’s circle but haven’t made it yet. For me, that’s not the point. If I gave up now, or when I am out of passes, instead of 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 pass days…

@ginadomaszewicz - I am so sorry this is happening. Try to hang in there. Feel the loss for a few days and then make a plan. You can do this. Monday, October 12 Tracking: Yes Calories: under Exercise: Yes, hike-90 min, indoor cycle-45 min Pass days to date - 2
