Hello everyone, Been away for awhile. I lost my internet, so all I could get was on my phone. The phone version doesn't have access to the community page (or I couldn't figure it out), so I couldn't keep up, at least when I was at home. Not the best answer for not logging my food, , but I will get back on track. I have…

Dinah - Husband chores, it's never ending and every one I do or have someone do make me miss him more. I run a business (automotive related) that my husband and I opened over 20 years ago, and everyday there is something. I have learned that everyday is a new day and everyday you will get through it. I have to make a…

Welcome Dinah! I lost my husband New Years Day 2009 also from Cancer. We were married for 24 years. 6 months from diagnosis to death, so yes I agree, it's a horrible illness. I have been doing MFP since July 4th of this year and have found it very helpful and it forces accountability for me. I enjoy this group and it has…

Quilter - So happy for a Birthday! Did you celebrate? A balloon maybe! I hope is was a good one. Beckster - A date! Wow, I can't imagine that. I have thought about that alot and wonder what that would be like. My husband and I were married for 26 years and I was so young when I married, I don't think I remember dating. I…

I'm back from vacation. Very nice seeing family (my step son from Eugene OR came over to the coast for the day also), but it wasn't very relaxing. More stressful then I would have liked. I did all of the driving and considering my husband used to drive with the RV attached, it made for a bit of an uneasy feeling. I can…

Evening Ladies, JulieGo - I did get a short hike in. It was really great being out in the woods. I made plans for the month of September. I am hoping to take my RV up and park it for the month. I will go up on the weekends and try some more hiking. There is a book that has lots of hikes in it that are around the area and…

Good luck on the race Quilter! You can do it . . . . When my friends invited me up to the cabin they did say they wanted to go hiking around the trails. I kind of panicked as I'm scared to get out somewhere and not be able to get back. I will do my best and try and get out there. It's all about the surveying and in this…

Glad to hear that the doctor in on board with your exercise and medication Juliego! That's good that you keep him in the loop. I went to a party tonight for an organization I'm involved in. Had a little wine and enjoyed the evening. Went on a train ride (they have a miniature train that circles their property) and visited…

I also agree with you Juliego. Mowing the lawn is not relaxing, however if you were on a riding lawnmower with a cocktail in the drink holder then maybe that would be a good definition of a resting event. ha ha I do also agree with Quilter, a day of rest in between workout days would probably encourage consistency and…

Juliego thats funny what you said about the elliptical machine, cuz that's the one my son thinks I should buy. I will tell him your story! I'm thinking a stationary bike is more my speed for now, it might be the answer to my heel and ankle pain now. Got to lose some pounds first before I get crazy jumping around. I don't…

I worked in the yard today. My husband spent so much time and money making this house and yard so beautiful. It is showing it's age and wear, make me so sad. I live on 10 acres, close to an acre is landscaped. The animals are getting in the fencing and eating and digging stuff up. A large part of the lawn is not doing so…

The heat wave is stifling, but I guess I should count my blessing for the dry heat of the desert. The east coast is melting! My office at work is upstairs and no matter how good the AC is on the upstairs office just seems hotter. I have taken to leaving work early, which is kind of nice. Looking forward to vacation at the…

Hello everyone, I have spent some time reading over the past post of the group and although the details are different our situations are very much the same. When one lady (can't remember which one, sorry) talked about being sick and not having a husband to help bring soup and sympathy and another one saying she has been…

Hello. My name is Susan. I'm 47 years old. I became a widow on New Years Day 2009 when my husband of 24 years passed away from cancer. I have 5 children ranging in age from 17 to 32, (I married into 3 kids, thus the age difference). I am a small business owner of a company that my husband and I started in 1988 so between…
