Hello everyone. Been really busy lately, so haven't taken time to post. I've tried to keep up at least reading through the posts now & then, but even that's been difficult to do with so many. If I miss even one day, I'm way behind. Oh well. :# Wishing everyone who's seeing the scale move in the right direction or…

Beth: One of the things we discussed with the MSC that came today was wanting to find eventually find possible residential placement for her for the long term. As my husband said, we're getting "old" (he's 56 & I'm 54 1/2). Also discussed wanting some respite for more than a day. The guy just said there are long waiting…

Lois: Thank you for the support - definitely not "trite". We had a meeting in our home earlier today with a service coordinator from the ARC (a local agency that provides various services for mentally challenged), now that we finally were able to get her reinstated under Medicaid & what's called Medicaid Waiver (was…

Felt really lousy (nauseous & dizzy) this morning, so took a sick day & stayed home. Got some more sleep this morning after finally got back to sleep again. Been lazy sitting on couch all day since didn't get up again until about 10. Reading posts in between watching recorded tv shows. I'm inserting a "disclaimer" of sorts…

Also wanted to mention that weather/temperature is certainly a relative thing. We've been feeling like it's been nice to have it warm up the past couple of days since it's been in the 40's! Unfortunately, forecast is for rain/snow mix overnight with a HIGH tomorrow of only 20 & then single digit temps overnight tomorrow…

Hello everyone. Just dropping in to log my food & exercise & try to catch up on the posts. Tried to stay up to date at least reading them since the weekend, but it really got away from me already (only Tuesday & behind so many already). So many I had to just skim over (already spent over an hr "skimming"). Anyway, had to…

Swimming today was also a nice break from doing the treadmill most days. Don't mind the treadmill, but my knees appreciated the change.
-
Hello everyone. Hope you are all doing well. Went to the Y to swim this afternoon. Tiring, but felt great at same time. Alternated swimming laps with doing different exercises in the water. Did 60 min. total. While I was gone, hubby worked on washing up lots of veggies & put into containers to combine later for salads. He…

Hello everyone. Just getting on quickly to log my lunch & dinner. Ate too much & feel uncomfortably stuffed. Ugh. Overall for the day, wasn't really too bad, but over the total calories I want to stick to. Plus didn't exercise today, so should've kept it lower. Stayed at work about an hour late to do some stuff & then…

Becca: Congrats on the wt loss. Way to go! Joyce: To answer your ?: Yes, the schools in our area have been closed yesterday & today due to the heavy snowfall. I teach at a district about 45 min drive SE of where we live. They usually get far less snow than we do at home, but actually got hit as bad (or maybe even worse)…

Oh yeah - also wanted to mention: the site where I found the personality test was www.my-personality-test.com. I found it googling Myers Briggs, but not really sure if it's the same. Interested to check out the other sites mentioned. Thanks. -- Becky

Yvonne: Yeah, I've never seen that on a treadmill either - guess I've never done that many minutes at once. Or if I have, I've also accidentally knocked off the safety thing on mine that's a magnetic thing on the treadmill & clip on other end of chord I hook on my waistband. Numerous times, I've hit it while pumping arms &…

Good morning all. Hope everyone else also dealing with the snow storm is safe & able to dig out ok. Hope those who've lost power also have it back soon. We had a snow day again today. Hubby had to leave at 4 am, though, to go plow for the school district again. Then they closed school afterall - so he could've gone later…
-
Phew! That snow shoveling surely burned LOTS of calories. It took me an hour to just do the deck. It was easily about 2 ft deep. Hubby had shoveled just a small section of it from the door to the steps on one side earlier & the sidewalk, but that's it before he left to go plow for the school. I shoveled the sidewalk again,…

Just googled Myers Briggs & found & did a personality test. I'm an ISTJ - the descriptors fit me to a T. Been snowing like crazy here (upstate NY) all day. All area schools were closed today, so we all got a snow day to stay home. I teach at a school about 45 min (good weather) drive SE of where we live. Hubby works as a…
-
Sarah: Thanks. Now if I can just get rid of the rest of the inner tube from that tire that's hanging around my waist. :# Waiting for the copier to finish with the notes/practice packet I'm making for this Thurs. lesson, so thought I'd pop on the computer nearby & read some posts. Planned on going to the Y to swim after…

Hello everyone. Been very busy lately with working late some days & getting plenty of exercise other days. So haven't had time to post anything. I've skimmed through the posts now & then, but realized this wkend that I hadn't gotten on since March 5th & was behind 450 posts. So skimmed through as best as I could yesterday…
-
Marni: It really depends on where you live in NY whether you have snow or not. I live in Taberg, NY which is east of Lake Ontario (between Camden & Rome - closest small city), so we're in more of a snow belt area (even worse in other areas even closer to the lake or more north than us). We've actually had PLENTY of snow…

Hello everyone. Sending hugs to any needing it. Kudos to everyone making progress - whether big or small. Remember: even slow or small progress is still better than no progress. Lost another 0.6 lb today. Only 2.4 more to go to reach 20 lbs lost since starting my renewed commitment in Jan. Want to lose about 65 lbs total,…

Huge flocks of Canadian geese flew over earlier. Awesome sign that spring is on its way before too long. When we see a robin, it'll be the final sign that spring is here - don't expect that for quite a while yet, but seeing the geese today is encouraging. Sun's out again, too so that'll melt some more snow. Hope doesn't…

:D Finally broke through my up & down 1/2 lb cycle on the scale this week. Now down 1.8 lbs so far since last Sun. Gave me the boost I need to be persistent to get it down even more. Down 17 lbs since Jan 1st. Also encouraging to realize only 3 more to get to 20 lbs lost. Yay! Only 13+ more to get back into ONEderland,…

Hello everyone. Hope those of you having difficulties find peace & less stress soon. Congrats to everyone finding success on the scale or other non-scale accomplishments. I was really hopeful that I'd use being off from work this week to get in lots of exercise & lose a bunch of wt, but I've been just going up & down the…

Queene: I think I'm going to switch to taking the Singulair in the a.m. while on break this wk, so I can be sure it won't make me drowsy at all while I don't have to drive to work after taking it. I'm the same way - things that usually make most people sleepy often do the opposite to me. Except Demoral - given that when I…

Lenora- The effects you mentioned of sleep apnea on your heart, energy, & cognitive functioning are exactly the things that most concern me & make me want to get tested. Probably should've insisted on it a long time ago. There've been so many big stressors in my life over the past several years & so many different things…
-
Lenora: Thanks for the advice. I've actually been thinking lately that I need to get a sleep test done to ck for sleep apnea. I'm concerned about the effect ongoing lack of sleep is having on my health. I've had sinus problems for yrs & have a deviated septum, so do sometimes snore. Not all the time, just mostly when more…

Hi again. Wanted to share some from the ebook I've been reading (for 2nd time) while doing the treadmill. It's called "4 Mindsets for Effective Weight Loss: Prepare Your Mind to Lose Belly Fat" by Mark Diaz. It's a FREE Kindle book download. The 4 Mindsets are: Control, Enhanced Awareness, Investment Mentality, & Focused…

Hello everyone. It's been a pretty hectic wk, so haven't found the time to keep up with the posts - at least 10 more pgs of them since I last read any. Worked on skimming through them yesterday & today to try to catch up. I also feel like I'll need some type of list or spreadsheet to have any hope of keeping track of who's…
-
Hi everyone. Holy cow - the number of posts on this feed really add up fast. I read over some of them a couple of quick times during the wk, but haven't had time to go through all of them. Figured I'd try to catch up this wkend, but just so many, so I've ended up just skimming through. Love the pics, memes, & funny or…

Kelly: So sorry for your loss. Try to think of happier times & fond memories of your sister as much as possible during this difficult time. Did well with my eating today & logging it. Lost about 1/2 lb since yesterday, so finally broke the 4 day standstill. I'm happy with 1/2 lbs for one day - want to try to lose about 2-3…

Just finished logging in my lunch & thought I'd ck out the messages quickly. Did a full hour on the treadmill today & more intensity than yesterday. Remembered to use my inhaler before started today, so that helped. Still not 100% after the bronchitis in Dec & relapse last wk with another cold, but felt so good to get in…
