just waiving hello to you all. trying to make healthy choices here. baby steps in the right direction :)

hello OMG ladies. a quick hello to tell you i'm still here and thinking about each one of you. I had to put myself in a computer time-out. my smart phone must be logging into MFP for me because i haven't logged in for a couple days now. I just had to step back and convince myself that my goals are currently unattainable…

I'm with you there, sister. I'm back on a drug I gave up on over five years ago because of the sexual side effects. desperate times...... I hope you have an understanding partner.

YAY! welcome back! we have missed you!

Janet- i stole "freggie" from another board on MFP.... so you're welcome to it! :smiley: I'm off to school volunteering (no teaching, just a warm body on the playground)

Patti- glad you enjoyed my “hometown”…. although I probably wouldn’t recognize much of it anymore. I haven’t been there for at least 15 years. sorry the new yogurt flavor was disappointing. I had given up flavored yogurt until i discovered “triple zero” greek. my favorite is vanilla, which i’ve never liked before. go…

Cindy and Janet- the yoga studio i attend is very gentle. in fact, she calls it "yoga therapy" her style is eclectic, so it's hard to describe. it is not like any yoga class i've tried before.... there are no sun salutations, and very few standing poses (although we've done some warrior 2 and some tree poses) most of it is…

good morning, OMG ladies :) I'm so far behind in personals, I won't pretend i can catch up before my girls wake up..... so I apologize in advance for those i'm sure i'll miss.... Bert- thanks for sharing the sermon topic. I haven't attended church in years, but apparently I needed to "hear" that. my back has been giving me…

Waving hello to all, and thinking about each one of you. Sending up prayers and positive thoughts. Will come home tomorrow from this little trip. Myra

Janet, I'm sorry you had a tough day of painful memories. safe hugs to you (((Janet))) I enjoyed having all four kids here for a meal yesterday. it doesn't happen very often. I just popped in to wave hello and goodbye. going on an impromptu trip and will be back sometime friday. I'm sorry, i can't update goals this…

Bert- thanks for the pictures!!! they are GREAT! and your grandchildren are precious! Janet- I hope your Easter weekend is serene as well :) after a morning egg hunt, I plan a low-key mid-afternoon meal with all four of my kids at the same table. It might be the last one for a while, as the oldest plans to move to…

Cindy- like everyone else, I am happy to hear you are taking it easy and using an inhaler! If possible, work from home as long as you can! I’m glad you are finally doing better…. let’s keep that going :) I agree with Diane about pneumonia. it frightens me. Patti is off and running, but I noticed she mentioned Venice, FL…..…

good morning OMG ladies! I woke up hungry today. first time in months. this is good. :) Patti- i can't remember when you are leaving for FL, but safe travels to you! i believe this is great timing for you to just get away for awhile, hopefully in a vehicle no longer smelling of smoke. Patti & Jeanette- abuse of children is…

Janet- now my two youngsters and I got to watch the momma eagle feed her babies..... lots of "awwww"s going on here.... and they giggled when one of the chicks reached up and then fell over. shortly after, momma decided it was nap time, lol. thanks so much for this link! Myra

good morning to you all. My little ones are out of school for the next two weeks, so I stayed in bed too long. that sounds kinda restful, but it’s not so good for my head, so I’ll have to come up with a way to drag myself out of bed tomorrow morning. Cindy- i’m very encouraged to hear you are calling the dr. today. your…

Hiya ladies. My brain hasn't had the best week, so I apologize for being truly invisible here. I have time for a few items, and then will come back tonight, as i await the midnight pickup time for my space camp kid. Jeanette- like you, I considered potatoes a vegetable when i was growing up. Now, i call it a starch. same…

hey, gem. I'm hanging in there, thanks. I've weaned off meds now, and finally got my insurance company to lower my copay for effexor from 200 to 70/mo. in the meantime, i was so frustratingly angry with the process that i can't get myself to take it. i had throughly convinced myself to "screw it" and just try again to live…

Hello to everyone. I'm reading, but not up to catching up. I do say happy belated birthday to Janet :-) We had bad thunderstorms last night that kept me awake, and I'm having a tearful day. It's a shame that I had to be in tears on the phone with my insurance company before I could get my psychiatrists prescription…

Karla, i'm sorry about your eye. Patti- i'm posting what I think is the update.... if i missed someone, i humbly apologize. be back later, myra

wow, i'm so behind on this thread! perhaps i'll catch up with you all tonight when my body isn't ready to sleep when the clock says to ;) ( i really hate time changes) just a quick check in to say.... well.... my house is cleaner. and i survived tween visitors. THEY were actually great (lots of giggling) it was the very…

next week OMG: PRACTICE URGE SURFING

I typically struggle more with depression than weight, but weeks of binge eating has now caught up with me. I guess i was having an "eat myself silly" pity party because i can't exercise the way i want to. guess what.... it hasn't made me feel any better, just made me outgrow my pants! all joking aside, i need to have a…

my adult daughter put on 50lbs while taking abilify. She took it off using mindfulness training (she just taught me about "urge surfing") and eating an overall lower carb diet (she avoided grains and sugar) best of luck to you :)
