Epic success story!

Day two at home with sick lil girl. Going a little stir crazy. Need to do shopping for sons birthday Friday, but not much I can do with sick lil girl. She feels good and energetic but nose too runny for school. Hoping nose will be better in a.m. Shoulder sore from Dumbbells, but hurts a bit too much when lifting it, so…

Congrats on the Fitbit! Love my Garmin tracker! They are handy little devices.

No, I haven't. I've pondered over what type of doctor. Then there's the fact that while I was doing all that heart stuff in October, I found out we don't have current insurance. DH was supposed to fix that while in town, but I doubt he has. Unfortunately he's not very responsible when it comes to these things and the…

Good thread starter! I talked to DH a bit tonight about my frustration and it was good to get it off my chest. I had preemptively (optimistically) made a great weekly running plan for Winter that included hill repeats on Saturday. I was sad I can't do them. How crazy...like really crazy...is it to be sad you can't run hill…

I remember this suddenly becoming an issue for me once. I usually do not have any water until about mile 5-6ish. Soon after that, I'd get the urge. Since I ran fasted, I knew it wasn't real, but just some strange trigger of the water and vibrations from running or something. Being in a place with no restrooms, yet public…

"Happy Black Friday"!??? Do people say that? Lol! Laura, I unexpectedly got lots of extra sleep last night (way overslept) and it felt amazing! The older I get, the more I miss the "skill" I had at sleeping when I was younger. Well, I'll try to start posting more, leading up to DHs departure, after which I'll be full time…

Congratulations! We are the same height so I am familiar with the moving weight goal (the whole: knowing I'll look "good" at it, but could go lower too). Soooo, how did T-day go?
-
Congratulations! This is the story I needed to hear today. Thank you.

Luckily today isn't a holiday for me. Unfortunately I don't get to be with family, but at least there was not all that food temptation. I started to work on my December goals, but then new crises. :( One crisis may have me in and out of the Embassy in December (first appt 14th unless I can get something sooner). And then…

HI! Hope Americans have a nice Thanksgiving! I'm still here dealing with "issues". DH leaves again in 11 days. Sons birthday comes before then though. My situation is not good, but I'm still determined. My right leg and my ankles still bother me daily. I'm at a complete loss as to what it is. I'm trying some new…

^Boy, I've missed a lot of workouts. :( Well, I just survived a crazy week. DH arrived nearly a week ago. He came with two suitcases full of crap to add to my house. :( And Lil girls birthday was this weekend. Celebrations were Friday at kinder, Saturdat at home (and in Skype), and yesterday at greatgrandmothers. (Yes…

Hi friends! We are on day two of a holiday. Yesterday was a long play date and a chance for me to catch up with a friend. Today, at home, lots of introspection. I realize that throughout all this time of one fire after another, preceded by the months of travel and just general chaos (vs. routine), both my body and my home…

Hi all. Hope you're hanging in there val. Happy anniversary Marla! Sounds like you're in a fun place. Hope daughters ok. Laura, hope your stomachs ok. Well so far today I went to the store with a big list of stuff, only to find it closed. Only certain stores are open on Sunday here and finding it closed was a very bad…
-
Hey all. Well I'm really struggling here. Talking to DH I realized that him gone for five weeks is just on the cusp of what I can handle in a normal groove, but throw in illness and castings, photo shoots...its way too much. Yesterday was spent at home with the kids. Son had a fever all night and day and with the poor…
-
Val, I'm stuck in a cycle too. I had in my head today exactly what I need to do, but I just can't get through all the other demands. Today I had to attend a hearing for our parent association to try to overturn a national law that took away our kids nearest high school. It's kinda important and has taken a long time just…
-
I'm a mess. Posted in yesterday's thread for today. Cut and paste.
-
Clearly I am NOT back to knowing what day it is! I accidentally put this on Tuesdays thread when today is actually Wednesday. Lol!
-
Okay Laura, you're spying on some of us! Lol! I have often had that negative mindset that would say, "I ate too much today, guess I'll try again next week/month/year." And usually I did try again...after giving up long enough that I had no pants that fit any more. Well sorry for disappearing and being so short here lately.…

2nd day of all day photo shoots / video shoots on location. Exhausting. Eating unhealthy food that is provided, not moving enough (not enough today...but yesterday was more walking), and high stress. Just one more day to go. Of course being in some of the most beautiful beach and forest locations you can imagine has some…
-
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I hope you have a piece of that cake. ;) Today I did all the cooking I was planning to do yesterday before we got that call...and then some. I had veggies needing to be cooked and I'll be gone all day tomorrow. Made hummus, and a Greek veggie dish in the slow cooker (never made it in the slow cooker…
-
What a day! Still sick, but manageable. Did school pickup and tutor drop off, but instead of walking I took the bus back to do shopping for cooking for the weekend. Kindergarten pick up and then on the way to tutor pick up we got a call to take son to clothing fitting and my whole weekend got turned upside down. Rushed…
-
I think it's just one of those weeks everywhere...stressful. I'm feeling just a tad better. Got a call for a casting for son today. Pretty much picked him up at 2pm from school, tutor, kindergarten pickup, tutor, food, casting, treat for well behaved kids, and home around 8:45pm...poor kiddos had a long day and so did I.…
-
Hi again. Still lil ole sick me. Somehow worse today. Lil girl is testing me in every way she can too. It's just that age I guess. I slept a lot today. Headache is pretty bad and cough is getting worse. :( Skipped Sons TKD, which is the plan to give him and us a break midweek (class finishes late and makes for late…
-
Laura, I know that feeling and sometimes you just have to go with it til you can regroup. Val, good luck with all of it. Just be careful not to get burned out. Maybe you can get some help with some of it. I bet you know someone who loves to help with parties...give them a call and just ask. I'm still so sick and having a…
-
Skipped tutor and my usual walk back. Still got ~15-16000 steps doing other stuff. Still feel like poop. :(
-
For me, today is sinus headache day. :( Hope everyone else is okay!

Looks like we were all busy Sunday. Actually, I wasn't, I was siiiiick. Thankfully, my FIL sailed into town (literally) and took the kids for five hours! To their grgrmothers for food and to the sailboat. I got to take a shower alone (although it came a massive storm), and blow my nose in peace.
-
So sick. Bad cold. Can't hear or smell or taste. Brain fog too. Home all day, mostly in bed. Idk what I'll do tomorrow when we are expected at kids grgrmothers. :'(
-
Hi all. Sorry for absence. Feeling totally out of it right now. Zonked. Yesterday was lower activity/higher stress day...so no activity/exercise but not exactly "rest day" either. :(. Today was another one of my epic step count days with way too much running around (and literally running to not be late a couple times) But…
