Gee you go away for a weekend and this place explodes! Have skipped a couple of dozen posts. Still sick. Managed a run yesterday which was lovely. Got an awful post viral cough and my voice can't seem to decide what to do. Contemplating cancelling the HM at the end of the year. My motivation still hasn't come back. It's…

Im OK. Had a good weekend away. Gave me time to do a lot of thinking. To distract myself I took to mentally planning to renovate the house - a total renovation lol. Was fun looking at kitchen and bathroom stuff and making plans. It's now my mental distraction when I can't sleep. Getting home was weird. I feel totally…

Morning all. @swenson19d hope you are OK. Haven't seen you in a few days and are getting worried! @quilteryoyo that's sad that he chose to do it that way, your mum must have felt blindsided! I guess he was going for the easier to ask forgiveness that permission approach. Hugs. @CMorning99 forward momentum is good!…

Went out for a long run this morning. Managed 8.5k. Still sick. Sigh. Getting better though

Thanks again. Have come to my mums for the weekend. It's nice being away and just relaxing. Kids are home with DH. Voice keeps ranging from lounge singer husky, to pubescent boy whose voice is breaking. And I have an annoying cough. Yay for masks.

Reading and liking/hugging. Still sick. Hope to run tomorrow...

Oh and still sick. Almost completely lost my voice last night at work. So am off sick again for a couple of days

@ddmom0811 oh poor kitty. I really don't understand that mentality. Hope the hip settles. @CMorning99 hugs on everything. I hope court goes well. When is that happening? @swenson19 been following the tracking and have a bad feeling about it. Hopefully it's in NZ customs this time... How is this so hard for USPS? Odd. No…

It was especially heartbreaking since I'm pretty open about my dad leaving us when I was r and never being part of our lives. Heck we had that conversation with the girls last night because my grandad sent some video of me when I was 5 so they asked again about my dad. PART of me thinks it's him saying if you take away…

I went for a short run today, then watched my girls do cross country. So proud of them!

@swenson19 thank you as always for your support. I am so lucky to have so many around helping me through. Do your homework. And crap that reminds me I have an assignment due on Friday. @quilteryoyo hope the heart is under control. Keep an eye on it eh and definitely get checked out if it happens again. @CMorning99 stink…

Oh @shanaber I'm so sorry to hear about Hilde. I know it was expected, it's still never easy. Biggest hugs to you and your family.

Don't forget snails. Those things can be deadly. OK maybe not deadly but definitely unpleasant to step on!

@swenson19 homework is good lol. So much reading though

I am seeing a counsellor tomorrow to talk through with a professional to really get my feelings. I'm also going to have a conversation with a lawyer because in NZ separating is a legal process. So I need to find out what the situation. His parents live here so I think this will go to a trial separation and individual…

Am here. Not running as I'm sick. @ContraryMaryMary 0 degrees! Eep. It's been cold here too.

Happy independence day guys. I feel for all the poor animals. And firing guns?? That gives me the creeps. Gah Im Glad this weekend is over. Its been emotionally draining, both at home and work. Work didn't get any better, I xrayed a 3 month old who was intubated. And I xrayed people who were palliative. It was draining.…

Thanks guys. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed atm. Just concentrating on the kids and work.

I saw it had made its way back your way lol. Well that makes sense now. What a crazy trip. Work was insane last night. I spent all night in theatre /operating room helping with a couple of patients who came off there motorcycle and smashed their legs. Meanwhile ED/ER was crazy busy and we had a tragic death. 55 Yr old guy…

Thank you for going and getting checked out. You definitely had me worried. Fun fact actually I'll put this in a spoiler cause it's very medical and could disturb some people Micturation syncope eh? So fainting due to peeing. Good one! I had a swallow syncope a few years. Had some water during the night, and accidentally…

Errr please please get this checked out. Seriously. The need to use the bathroom followed by a faint is serious. It's a vasovagal response telling you something is wrong and I'm seriously worried. I've lost enough friends here, I don't want to lose more. Please get checked out now. Like go to the ER and tell them what…

Hey guys. Still here. Been busy with work and personal stuff. Husband is acting like an *kitten*. I'm tempted to kick him to the curb. Partly joking. Partly serious. He's been in a mood for the last 5days. I think i know why. And if that's the reason, I may be done. So dealing with a lot there. Other than that, trying to…

Thanks @shanaber! Errr I'm going to run. No idea about distance. Shall I say 120k? Im supposed to do a HM this month. I signed up for it months ago but motivation has died. I should still be conditioned since I was supposed to run one last week but not sure I care. Donation to charity is fine.

As for me, I was on call last night but no calls! So up at 630am for my Wednesday run. I didn't last long at following my watch. Like others I HATED not knowing what the next day had planned. And when I was playing with garmin connect I realised that one of the trainers allowed me to set my plan for my next HM - 20 weeks…

Morning all. @ContraryMaryMary we are lucky, the wind died about 8am and we had a beautiful (cold) sunny day! Fortunately because I'm now cycling to work every day. @shanaber thanks for setting up July! That was a nice positive for you today! Definitely life goals to still be running in my 60s. @Tramboman golf... A good…

It was a balmy 7 degrees this morning (45f for the northerners). It was nice and still when I went out. Then 2mins later it started hailing and blowing. That fortunately only lasted a couple of mins but really woke me up. I was brave enough to cycle to work though!

Hey all. @swenson19 how's the apple watch?? I got an update on that package its in Iowa??? DES MOINES IA NETWORK DISTRIBUTION CENTER Bahaha. We need a game. Drink one shot for every state it hits. I'm assuming it got put on the wrong pile lol

Woo hoo @polskagirl love the pics

Nah not going. I need the rest day. Muscles are sore after netball yesterday! As @Tramboman said, we are supposed to be smarter than our watches!

This was my first thought. OP I didn't have the experience you had, but did have low level anxiety my whole life. It wasn't till I got counselling I was able to finally lose the weight. Going through abuse such as you had I highly recommend looking after your mental health as well as your physical. I also have concerns…
