Not sure anyone will even remember me, I haven't been on in months! To say the last few months have been stressful would be a massive understatement. I had a child that ended up being hospitalized andsuffice it to say that I resorted to eating and drinking my feelings, just like the old me. I hope to someday be at the…

JFT Water, water, water! 30 minutes exercise Portion control Still dealing with the after effects of not feeling well. Managed to walk for 30 minutes yesterday and plan to do a walk/run today.

What a week, I have been really struggling with getting anything done, let alone exercise. I have been under the weather with something, symptoms being exhaustion, sore throat, aches so haven't really gotten much done.

Get yourself to the doc STAT. But let me tell you something, I was a stay at home Mom for 6 years and when they say it is soul sucking and mind numbing THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE REFERRING TO. It might be time for you to find something for yourself, and figure out who you are. You're caught in the mind numbing day to day…

@PackerFanInGB That's so true! I find that consistency is key. I'm finding peace in the mantra/advice: progress not perfection. So even though I fell off track in august and it was hard to get back on track I'm not starting from 0, I'm starting more at a 2. And it didn't take me quite as long to get back in the swing of…

Today is my family birthday celebration. We are heading to lunch with family and then going to an arcade place (with food/beer/wine) to hang out for a few hours.

@Snowflake1968 So glad you are loving your job! It sounds like those lonely folks will have a friendly face and that makes me smile.
-
I just reread what I wrote and it sounds like it does bother me, lol! I guess I should have said, it doesn't mean much to me and I really don't like it but I don't get offended or anything.
-
It doesn't bother me but I actually don't really like it much. I am of the opinion you shouldn't comment on other peoples bodies generally though.
