Good morning all! Been away for a few days. No health issues just frustrated. I needed a break. I was good about recording my foods etc. but the dang system kept saying I wasn't eating enough or I was eating wrong and I knew this wasn't so. I found myself fudging the log and that's no good and serves no purpose. Plus,…

Happy August! I didn't stat it off right. Forgot to take my morning meds yesterday. Being Type 2 and Sjogren's it is not good to forget meds. Hopefully back on track today. Beautiful sunshine and low humidity! Enjoy!

Not a good day yesterday. Numbers didn't look bad, but I know I didn't log all my food and I am paying the price! Spent most of the night in the bathroom. Taking it easy today, both physically and on my self. I'm human. I'll get back on track.

Yes, thankfully I am OK to workout and walk. In this heat I stick to the tread mill and the AC LOL! I still make sure to break it up so I don't over-do it. Once the endorphins kick in I'm usually good to go.

Hello all! Spent the morning in the ER with my hubby. He has had some cramping in his calf and since he had a heart stent a few years ago we weren't taking any chances. Thankfully it was a slight case of dehydration. Small wonder in this heat. Doc said to remember water is not enough. He recommends adding bananas or…

The profile is a personal choice. I like it because I can go back and say I accomplished that or I need to work on that. I also like it to see if anyone has my same likes/dislikes. I keep it closed to all but friends. As for the whole logging daily chores...I do that when I am so busy I can't do a proper workout. Again, a…

Diagnosed me with Sjogren's. Causes lots of unbearable pain and debilitating fatigue. On Plaquenil and it seems to help. I just can't give in to it.

I've tried slimming world and other diets with no success unless I cut out a lot extra, which I didn't find sustsinable. I've put this down to me not following the diet properly. The last 3 months I have…

I love the posts here! Real people not a bunch of fakers and fluff! I have Sjogrens which affects my joints and muscles and causes severe fatigue. I am also type 2 diabetic. Other issues, but those 2 are the most frustrating. Endo doc put me on another new med, and I was like UGH! BUT...it's working blood sugars are…

I just had a meniscus tear repaired in April. I had the other knee done last May. I ended back up at the ortho 3 weeks ago. Still not better, even worse! I continue to do band stretches, ice and elevate. Calling him back tomorrow. I can't deal with the pain. I either have another tear or...?

I have a habit of having complete conversations in my head about something I want to tackle. Kind of a practice run...then I let my husband in on it, He says I think like a golf ball in a tiled bathroom lol! So when I do this he just says "golfball" and I know I need to fill him in on the details I already worked out in my…

Not Hashimoto, but and IgA deficiency and Sjogrens. Diabetes type 2 doesn't help. Just learning about diet helping with this so any info is great.

Pushed through it and actually got a decent workout done. Love it when the endorphins kick in!

Didn't get a lot of exercise in, but I did clean out the work out room and got the laundry off the multi-gym LOL! It's a great piece of equipment. You can add weight from 20 to 300 pounds. It works on legs, arms, stomach and back. Today I actually used it for its intended purpose. Go me!

So many medical issues, I need your help to stay focused on healthy eating, exercise (at the least...moving more) and keeping a positive attitude.

Thanks for helping me get July off to a great start! I've been doing small daily goals and it's been working for me. I need to focus on 2 things. 1st is to get more active. Stop sitting at the computer and put down the boo once in a while and WALK! 2nd is that I definitely need to drink more water to flush the toxins. Keep…

I have had an auto-immune for @ 5 yrs. IGA Deficiency. Last week I was diagnosed with another, Sjogrens. I had to fight for almost 4 years to get the tests and referrals I needed, but finally paid off. Saw an RA doc and she hit it spot on. She put me on Plaquenil and a week later I am already feeling improvement. Don't…

Thank you both!

Nearest pool is 50 miles away at the "Y". I live in a very rural area. I do pack a suit when I am in that area shopping though and you're right, it does help.

Orchard Valley has some healthy individual packaged snacks. Non GMO, no artificial ingredients. Nuts, cranberries, a nice mix.

Hi! I'm Mary. Goal is to lose 60 pounds, but putting it down in 20 pound increments. Many health issues. Finally found a doctor who I believe is on the right track. Long story, details later. Glad to be here and thankful for your support.
