Happy Easter! We will be doing breakfast /brunch at home as opposed to going out, dealing with the crowds and who knows what quality of food/service while likely being overcharged.. (this is the reason we rarely eat out anymore because its always disappointing in those areas) I have come to get pretty persnickety about how…

more_freggies76- I am very sorry about your husbands diagnosis . We mother in law had it but she had the Louis body version , which is quite different and I believe worse.Staying active is very helpful and there was alot of science we read up on for her sake at the time about some diet changes that can help. I want to say…

In case anyone is interested in this, I thought I would share as I am doing some further digging on skeletal muscle versus muscle mass. ChatGPT tells me this , (love it or hate ) it gives me a slightly better understanding. However in order to build skeletal muscle it just goes back to resistance training and progressive…

@cschmitz110515- I would consider the pads for her but she is up and down during the night from her ad to her favorite spot in the bathroom and with how she gets up , I am pretty sure the pads would just get moved and wadded up. Yesterday on my day off I had a little bit of a scare with our other doggo. He had vomited his…

Warning , long post ahead… I am low energy today. Had a middle of the night fiasco with the old girl. She is having more and more f #2 accidents in the middle of the night. I usually hear her getting up and try to hurry to get her to the door but its usually too late . She gets no warning and ends up pooping where she…

@pridesabtch - sometimes a little leniency is ok, but I have to be careful with the thinking of "Oh , I will work off the extra calories tonight in the gym" . Late post but wanted to hop on . Today was a pretty good day. Work was very busy but productive. The day flew by. I got on my walking pad at my desk for the first…

@pridesabtch- I read your post , thank you for being courageous to share your story . I had a similar wake up call a little over a year ago and been working towards a better version of myself since. Its a journey. Your already doing great.

Coming off of a very very busy , physically active weekend where I averaged about 15K steps per day , plus my workout on Saturday. My whole body hurts right now! I started on window cleaning but didn't get too far because the window tracks were FILTHY and took alot to get clean. I have 12 windows with only 3 done to…

That damn scale bounced back up another 1.5 lbs to the same numbers I have been stalled at..:( I am frustrated …maybe it was just a scale glitch maybe but I guess I haven't broken the stall like I hoped. I honestly can't figure out at this point how to get that number to keep dropping. I am doing all the right things.. I…

PackerFanInGB I am sorry you all have been sick and haven't been able to celebrate. Wishing you all a quick recovery and back to normal soon.
