Hey! Well the plan today is to rest my legs so I can do another walk tomorrow to see if the shoes affect my achilles. My achilles feels okay today, but my legs and rearend are actually sore from my walk yesterday. After all, it was over 8 miles. Laura, I know what you mean about the ebb and flow of all of this. I never…

Hey all! Today I did a nice long walk. Decided to walk in my Chucks. It was long. At times my achilles hurt, but stretching and heel drops helped. Afterwards, the bottom of my feet are crazy sore. All that for so few calories. The distance took 3x longer than running and got me half the calories. :-( I miss running!!! But…

Laura, keep us posted. I think it's always good to share these experiences. I think my sisters getting into perimenopause right now and I had to talk her out of a very bad and irresponsible (permanent) diagnosis, telling her instead to see about menopause symptoms. Well, after I expressed concern, she checked around (esp…

Val, what a week! Good luck is all I can say. :) Donna, I'm so far behind. I know how that feels. But I just tell myself that, if nothing else, I've got the determination to not give up. Super excited for school to start. Tomorrow is just the blessing, no classes, but I seem to recall from my son's first day kindergarten…

Hey! Awwww, what cuties! :) Hey everyone! Welcome back Donna! Well, I'm hanging in. Kids are making me batty, but only a few days left. It doesn't even seem real that I'll have both of them in school! Still straightening up around here, a little. Unfortunately, my husband is not one of those kinds of husbands Val. He'd…

Marla, I am trying to do little things, but there's so many big glaring things that need to be done! Lol! Laundry from the trip has kept me busy all the way til today (still have the sheets and towels from the house to do--no washer at the island house). I put some random things away (and threw out some things at the same…

Hey all! Sorry I'm still not very regular here. I'm still in my own personal hell at home. :( it's so hot and the apt is such a mess that I'm just sorta frozen. I don't even know where to begin. I'm yearning for when my husband goes away so I can get down to it. He has a tendency to question or undo any housework that i…

Hi! Val, I'm having some turbulence with my kids after such a long vacation, so I can relate. Well today I had an errand to do, so I walked downtown and back. Unfortunately the errand required me to wait outside in the sun and I was so totally done when I got home. Having a late season little heatwave here, so trying to…

Hi! ^well, these past three months have wrecked me and here I am "beginning" again. :-(
-
Hey y'all! Haven't read anything, just at a wifi cafe without a kid jerking the iPad out of my hands (yet) and wanted to say HI! We leave the island on the 3rd, arrive in Athens the 4th. I'm going to have my work cut out for me, but am chomping at the bit!! I'll be getting BOTH kids into school (eeeeee!) and trying to tie…

Hi all. Been busy still in DC. Went to museums today with kids and MIL. One museum has a gigantic ball pit called The Beach. It was fun. Leave for Greece Monday, arrive Tuesday, leave for island Wednesday. Don't know if I'll get online much there...it requires driving to an Internet cafe in the next village over. Lol. Have…

Welcome back! I've been traveling for five weeks and will be in a remote location for all of August, so I'm not getting to post hardly at all. I'll probably be doing my own "I'm back" post in early September. Lol
-
Hi all! Well, up in MD now and for the first time since I got here I think...I logged my food (instead of just writing 4000 quick add calories)! It means I'm eating little enough and known-enough- foods to be able to log! This is a huge improvement from my stay down south! Meanwhile, I've felt terrible today. This strange…

Hey! I love today's thread Starter! Sorry I'm still not very active. Last night I ended up staying the night at my sisters because my brakes were going out and I was afraid to drive. Got it fixed todayandam still here hanging out. We leave Monday morning, to drive North. It's getting sad, knowing we're leaving my family…
-
^believe it or not, this eating style was better than my current situation which seems to be the 9pm meal 24/7. :-( My MIL got here and so far she's been busy (gone shopping or cooking) every morning and I haven't felt especially inspired to run anyway. TBH, I think I've given up for as long as I'm still here. MIL has also…

Really? Pu$$y foot gets edited?

Still here, but not doing well at all re my goals. Total collapse re working out and eating. My sister is a bad influence on me re: food, but I'm just so happy to be able to spend time with her. A bunch of us girls + my son (me, sis, daughter, nieces, friend + son) are going to Asheville tomorrow and hopefully MIL will…
-
^been doing squats at random times when I'm alone. Which is never. So basically, I've been doing squats when I'm in the bathroom, after peeing. Lol! But I'm focusing on good form, so there's that. :-|
-
Hi! Just want to say that I promise I'll be back someday. :| I knew this trip would be all consuming, but now I see just how much. Hoping MIL arrival by end of week might help me to be able to leave kids with her and get out for a run. I've gained a ton of weight. But my determination is still with me.

Love the name Laura! I'm still here and involved with lots of family stuff. The reality of my moms condition has set in and I'm having to try to explain it t my sis, who lives nearby but is having trouble understanding. Basically my mom has a neurological disorder and dementia and my dad is exhausted from taking care of…

Drove back from the beach today. Took allll day. Lots of potty breaks for lil girl's lil bladder. :-/ Now tired. Tomorrow I'll be glued to the news from Greece. Gotta get moving and working out soon though!
-
^THIS!!!!!!!! Well, at least I got new running shoes yesterday. I'm plotting my comeback! Vacation has been great though. This will be all the time we will have together until I return again. My sis and bro and their families see each other a couple times during the year, along with my parents, but they have kids going to…
-
At this point, I'm managing to log on before midnight to keep my streak and just log 4000cal quick add. Yep, it's that bad.....
-
Vacay...arrrgh! Sorry I'm mia, but it's a lot of family stuff here. Unf TOM showed up too. :(. Things will get back to normal ish next week. Have a good one

Marking my spot

Marla, yes it affects us and I'm watching the news and texting with hubby every morning. For Greece, although things may be getting bad, actually things have BEEN bad already and now it's just exciting for the people to have some self determination...to at least have the choice between the rock or the hard place, or…
-
To be honest, being in a new place and in a constantly changing environment has caused my systems to break down (tying into the other thread). I'm barely logging food on MFP, whereas I used to log it religiously before or as I was eating it. Now, I'm catching up AFTER THE FACT every night, and it is not pretty! Well, here…
-
Drove all day on very little sleep and arrived at the beach with a very bad headache. :-(. Lil girl begged me to take her in the pool and I did, which was heated and helped me fell little better, but still a splitting headache though. However, at least my legs are feeling better after a couple days of flat shoes which…

Hey all! Sorry I didn't get checked in yesterday. Busy day. Did some shopping. Go some books. Odds and ends too, like replacement iPad chargers, etc. Also still working on these chest pains with various supplements, so hit the vitamin shop. Spent time at my sisters. Really not very active though. It's all driving here…
