I’m 54, live in California, my son is going back to college on the east coast for his senior year. I manage my parents Heath care and home as they both have dementia. These last 3 years have taken a toll on me. I’ve…

  • I am trying intermittent fasting every few days. I did two 16/8 days in a row. I’ll see if I’ll do another one tonight. I should research it. I know many of you have or currently do it. Any advice? My husband is really trying to be supportive on helping me get healthy and loose some of this Belly fat since it can…

  • Thanks for the warm welcome back! @CassieGetsFit2013 hang in there! I totally get it! I had to take July off because I just couldn't take on anymore stress on top of my anxiety and depression. After a week I felt much better. @GingerPwr Love your theme month! My Sunday success is that I drank and logged over 60 oz of…
  • My name is Jill and I live in Los Angeles, California, I took the month of July off. Between the stress of Covid almost shutting us down again, taking care of my parents (both have dementia) taking care of two households (mine and theirs) and dealing with our 20 year old son who was not thrilled living at home since March,…
  • @1theresamcvean and @Cafelelia I think I might need to take July off. I just can't get motivated to work on myself. Between my parents decline, my son angry at me for not letting go back to "school" until the end of the month and Los Angeles kind of shutting down again. It's all so depressing. I'm just not in the right…
  • How was your day? Yesterday I had to try and move / drain a pond of water out of the back of my parents backyard from a broken sprinkler. I got creative and used a water gun from the pool. It sucks up water and then you squirt it. Boy did I get an arm work out!
  • Hi my name is Jill and I live in Los Angeles, California. Married to a great husband for 24 years. My biggest supporter!. We have a 20 year old son who had to come home early from College from the East Coast in March due to our crazy world. He developed Mono in May and was super sick. We all thought it was Covid because…
  • I know I have been MIA.... My parents have sucked up ALL of my time again this week! The move from home care through an agency to private care has been a struggle but I think it will be worth it in the next week or so. Surprising its not my parents that are the issue with the change. It has been letting go of the agency…
