No problem. No way can you be a "rubbish" parent. It is quite evident that you love them. They have a home, with loving parents, a place to sleep, food on the table, and clothes on their back. Everything else is just gravy! My mom (who I think is the most amazing woman in the world.) raised 4 girls, a step daughter and a…

@bex953172 I am so sorry she is stressing you out. I am normally a lurker, and find everyone inspiring, but thought I would stop in because I understand your frustration. Take my advice for whatever it is worth. Now that she is a little older the reward chart might be very helpful. (She can probably, understand the…

@tiabirdie that was my exact thought. I was sad to see it fall because it had lots of cheese, and I love cheese. I really wasn’t hungry though.

@slittlemeister Yes definitely time for a new laptop. Good luck with the recovery process.

@slittlemeister You could also possibly just have the screen replaced.

Excitedly waiting for my owl.

@AJB1014 Congratulations Onederland is such a great milestone on your journey!

@toaljasa I hadn’t thought of that. It could be that, or the increase amount of exercise, or only getting 6 hours of sleep a night. Although 2 times this week I got 8 hours of sleep. @junodog I believe they are 2 different vaccinations. I do know that your chances of getting shingles increases if you have had chicken pox.…

Hi everyone, It looks like you guys are all doing a fantastic job. I had a pretty good day yesterday. Except I was freaking tired. JFT (Wednesday) 13k Steps :) 10 cups water :) Amazing Race arms Grr nope Stay in the green :) Was 78 over before exercise calories, but plus 200 after Laundry folded and put away :) No refined…

JFT (Tuesday) 13k Steps <3 17K 10 cups water :) Maybe 11 or 12 Amazing Race arms Yep, about killed me though :) Stay in the green at 0 calories so I call it a win. o:) Laundry folded and put away oops forgot about this until I went to bed. :( No refined sugar (this is going to be so hard.) Woot I did it, even though the BF…

I just had a great idea. For all of you guys trying to make water goals, every time you read the word water when you are reading the forums here, take a drink. I wonder how much we would drink. @chemjenny Can you share your recipe for Lentil soup? @junodog1 Good luck tomorrow. You can do it! Had a pretty good day…

Well I did pretty good on Friday, not so great this weekend. So JFT 1. 13K steps 2. Video for Amazing race 3. 5 bottles of water 4. 5 fruits/veggies 5. Log everything 6. 100 minutes exercise 7. Be under calories

@nutrishus The walking is great for you! Walking, can also be cardio. Cardio is anything that elevates your heart rate a percentage (you would have to look it up) above your resting heart rate. When I first started this journey, I started out with a 10 minute walk. I was huffing and puffing and my heart was racing up a…

I almost had myself convinced to go get Chinese food. I decided I would stick with oatmeal (ate lunch for breakfast this morning) This is great because normally, Chinese takes all my daily calories in one meal.

@joan6630 I love the idea of giving yourself credit. Kind of what you guys do here. A friend of mine, was advised to actually keep a journal with all the things that she accomplished for the day. Even if it was as simple as getting up on time, going to work, remembering to bring a lunch. She suffers from severe depression,…
