@tracy I've walked in your shoes. Gosh, what a person accepts in the name of love. I think Karen (Skinny) wrote a well-considered answer and I agree, You're not being selfish, you're just seeing that the time has come to tell him you've reached YOUR breaking point. But the news must be given him in such a manner so it…

Welcome to the Newcomers - great to see you! - regarding depression - I have it too - its a lifelong thing for me I don't hang out on home pages just here so if you want friends, come back here - lots of support on a daily basis <3 @Laurie - if your frustrated running - but ok with walking...think more about that..I agree…

Maybe this picture is better:

@Melfornia - Happy for you - I love yoga - used to do it, now its more - "lets do this move I remember because it will stretch out this sore part" and "I'm feeling anxious so I'll practice my breathing" but what wonderful lessons it imparts to you! Good record - 77 days in a row - that's consitency and that can be…

@Mel - you did great on your cakes - on gosh - I haven't had a slice of cake in well over a year! Not being strong here, just no opportunity and I'd need an all-white cake. And Lil Debbie's don't count, do they, (ha ha) @Laura - glad you shared your story {{{{ big hugs }}}} did you find your bravery and strength right up…

@2ledbetter - whacha remodeling? I'll wager you did a lot of sweat equity today! And probably kept your calories under target too... do you think so? Seems you did the right amount of exercise, LOL. @Skinny - Karen, the rebel in you in great at art! I like it! Bet you gave everyone Apple Envy. Worth hanging - or auctioning…

@Tracy - forgive - I've forgotten how long you've been doing cakes - you're so talented :D My fav is Sophie

@Tanya -80feet up a pine tree –oohwhee those needles itch- I love pines but used to trim them in my yards – you MUST wear protective clothes, don’t you…not to mention the other part of the 80 feet of branches! What progress you’ve made –including the pull-ups! @Tanya – I vote with those who believe you need an MRI scan……

@AngelikaLumiere - wonderful to see you back - and with such positive changes going on for your life - an new home and new life to fill it - I just lit up when I saw your name one of my favorite people o:) welcome any newcomers I have missed <3 @Susan - I see the race has diverted to Atlanta ? when is that one? Lately I…

AFM – since I posted 3/12 I haven’t been to the pool. I got up at 10 but still so stiff with swollen joints. This comes from bending all evening to help step-mom. Nurses require bed stay low to avoid falls and lawsuits, I am just a smidge too tall for this constant bending. It’s every few minutes – a sip of water, a brush…

@FeraFila - HOOT HOOT HOOT - congrats1 o:) baby on the way! so happy and excited for you! I realized why I hurt today - yesterday it was 88 degrees here and now its 35 degrees and windy! :s

@Everyone – I’m 4 days behind and slowly catching up – its suspenseful! @Laurie – re: Chicago on 9/11 – Travis Manion Hero’s Run – Chicago’s close for me. Even if I couldn’t run the 5K it would be fun to meet up with you there. What about the school year for you teachers? Conflict? @GramK – How’s DH-s hand healing? @Kah –…

@LaurieK and @Skinniejeans - Karen - its very interesting to note what you're both saying tonight. From my vantage point, you're both vigorous, athletic people, both in the same profession which forces you into long hours of sedentary work with only small bursts of energy, all the while enduring huge amounts of stress on…

@Tanya -when I saw the new Apple watch the first thought across my mind was whether that strap was sturdy enough! Gosh how frustrating for you - the old wristwatch strap method seems much more sensible but would snag on clothes more, wouldn't it? Hope you get a replacement soon (poor lonely wrist!) @L2T - glad you're…

@sineanbroc -Sarah - welcome. We share a lot here! Glad you've decided to make this big change in your life. @WalkingQueen - You're quite a lady! Nothing but good to say about your former company. Good not to burn bridges, took me a long time to learn that. Glad you went walking after your post - your pooch is your best…

@SKinny - what would be your ideal class? @KMHtime - welcome! Yes, it IS hard to get the eating habits under control. I'm also getting back into the habit - I find it very rough, and in the grocery store today I cast longing glances at my old favorites in the Bakery Dept. Had to walk fast past it! @LivesToTravel - gosh…

@Skinny - that's one heck of a poem! It wouldn't sit so well with the Buddha but it took him a looong time to reach his comfort spot!

@WalkingQueen - Holly {{{{HUGS}}}}} how dastardly employers can be! Hope you and your co-workers have a good cry together tonight and get it out of your systems and you find a hidden blessing somewhere in all of this! Throw your efforts twice as hard into your schoolwork, and polish that resume in between times. Give…

Oh gosh, I am hung up on Holly's (@MNWalkingQueens) post. Just so worried about her losing her job. Am putting so much energy forth into the Universe but afraid it might not help with the current job maybe only with her recovery from bad news. @Skinny - so much burdensome work for you with school and so many weeks of it…

Just ate 4 servings of veggies to make my calories for my day. Whew. I feel better and fuller too. @CBlue - you have so much going on. Be sure to catch up on your sleep, my friend. Sorry so much is happening in such a shortened time frame.

@Hansea – “Bring in da funk…” you crack me up! @Laindia – welcome – all of us work together, so keep posting! @LaurieK – thanks for the stairs advice – I will follow it, this time around I will listen better… @Tanya – what a rough day baking – glad you got your hiking in @Hansea – again – WOOT on the 4 lbs loss – and…

Whether or not they were deliberate, but reading through the posts to catch up I had 5 or 6 good belly laughs, and I needed them - thanks ! Too many posts to comment, and I am bushed! The bad results of fmy having fallen into a grand funk are causing some problems - I have always had insomnia and its so bad now, I'm…

@Niki - so glad the colonoscopy is over! such a sad tale about your father - how old were you when he passed? @Barb I sure do appreciate you pulling me along <3 @soosun - nice to see you @ereilly - do you do the spin-type of kicks very often when you kickbox? What's the age/mix/size of your group? I'm just so curious about…

@Kah -so much going on with your back heel, almost hard to fathom how they will treat it. I'm guessing immobilization? Surgery seems difficult for that area. Glad you were able to spend time with your friend, and glad he's getting the stem cell transplant. @Barb,Mountmary -your honesty compels me to be as truthful - My…

@Laurie - reading your post I actually did start singing the Sound of Music sound in my mind to your words! Gosh, I hope that forecast of the heavy snow is wrong! I hate to think of you shovelling again! Hope you get to go to the gym instead! If anyone has been following my blog, I posted another one, here it is:…

@MountMary -Barb -I'm picturing you being very busy bent down low to the ground listening for crocus and daffodils trying to push their way out of the ground. Am I right? @Iowaoly and @OtherNewbies - welcome - hope to chat with you more after I catch my breath! Hope you're enjoying the challenge of this new lifestyle. And…

@Tracygoins - Karen's advice about telling your hubby about your need to go to the gym is excellent. I also want to add my 2 bit. You're living such a tough situation. I care so much for you! I will pray that things change, however you handle them. Now, I've read where counselors have said to write your partner a letter,…

I am behind in reading every ones post! Forgive me! @CBlue – Lori – I can relate – you have done so much work on yourself, come so far, been such a disciplinarian, it is extraodinary, so much dead weight tossed away. Please don’t look at your husband as “dead weight” as well to toss away, Although I have not walked in your…

Hello - it seems the flu caught back up with me today. Now I feel bad for the 300 or so people I saw at the grocery store yesterday. :o Except for one really obnoxious person on a cellphone blocking the coffee aisle both ways...aurgh! No personals tonight...I did some housekeeping today, cleaned my bedroom, tossed more…

Really we should rename this discussion CAKES AND CATS for all the beautiful photos ! I loved all of them as I read a ton of pages to catch up! :D @Tanya -love,love.love your new photo! You look so thin! I hate to hear your neck injury pain continues, but what others say is so true, just like other, such as @SkinnyJeans is…
