Wow, Snoozie!!!! That’s incredible and fantastic news for your sister! I’m really happy for her and you. I’m so glad you were able to be there at such short notice. It’s completely understandable that your eating was out of whack. It was pretty much catch as catch can. It was cold here today but now I feel silly…

I don’t know what they’re doing with the groups. It’s harder to find anything and it never shows a new post. I’ve been trying to stop buying sweets and instead buy fruit and veg. Then I end up throwing out the veggies because I don’t make them quick enough and they go bad. Consistency is the key but I’m really struggling…

oh my gosh!!! I had the hardest time trying to find this group discussion thread. Everything under “community” has changed. I hope it was just a glitch. My dad has been put on hospice. His mind is just gone. Mom is so depressed. Ugh. I don’t think I want to live to be in my nineties. I’ve been trying to make small baby…

Goodness, a month since I posted?!!!! I’m so sorry for being missing in action. My life has been a bit hectic but that’s no excuse. Vail, I guess I am just as contrary as you are because I haven’t incorporated the nutrionist’s instructions yet. I’ve been trying to high fiber bread and started some of the supplements but…
-
Oh Vail....we have all been where you are now, in fact I feel like I'm right there with you sister. I feel like you were reading my mind. I have no idea why I just can't seem to "get with the program." I don't feel like the nutritionist offered any new information that I was unaware of or didn't know. Here is a summary: 1.…

I’ve got my appointment with the nutritionist tomorrow. I’ve got a list of questions so we’ll see how it goes. Good for you on the healthy snacks and playing pickleball! Sticking with a video yoga class would be so difficult for me. I don’t know why I can’t make myself do things that I know are good for me. Ugh.
-
That sounds good, Snoozie. Consistency is unbelievably difficult but so important in a lot of different areas of our lives. It has been so cold here. We even had snow and ice here the last three days. My husband wants to go for a walk in a little bit and I just don’t want to do it. I was out earlier and that was enough…

My appointment with the nutritionist is coming up in a couple weeks. I had to reschedule to do something with my parents. I’ve got a list of questions ready. You saying that you just don’t have it in you to put a lot of work into getting back on track really hit home with me. It just seems like so much work to start over…

Happy New Year! I’m a few days late. How are we all feeling about this new year? Hopeful? Determined? Motivated? Positive? I’m struggling to find my motivation. I feel like it’s there but maybe hiding behind a few excuses. Things have been really chaotic and frustrating here. My dad was in the hospital over Christmas and…

Merry Christmas Snoozie and Vail! I hope you both have a good one!
-
Sounds like weight gain is a common theme with all three of us. We just have to be more determined in the new year to get back to basics. I think we all know what we’re doing or rather, not doing that led us here. We will have to find work around for our pains, injuries, weather and illnesses. We can do this if we put our…

Thanks so much Vail! My son and his family did come last weekend. Unfortunately my daughter’s baby boy got sick so they didn’t come over because they didn’t want to chance getting the two month old sick. It gets complicated with all the little ones. My daughter’s family spent Thanksgiving with the in-laws so we were on our…

I definitely know what you mean. I find that I do most of my mindless snacking while sitting in front of the tv or computer. If I could just find something else to do then maybe I wouldn’t snack. I’m learning how to knit and you can’t snack if you’re doing that. lol. The earliest appointment I could get with the…
-
Vail, I think there’s a lot that goes into the decision process. You don’t want to do it too early but you don’t want to wait too late. You feel good one day but it hurts the next. Ultimately it’s between you and your doctor to make the decision that’s right for you. Don’t let all the outside influences of other’s opinions…

I got my bloodwork results today. It’s about what I was expecting. My cholesterol is a bit high but it’s about where it has been ever since I first started getting it tested. My triglycerides were higher than usual though. My A1C was pre-diabetic and higher than last time. My doctor recommended meeting with the…
-
They took blood yesterday so I’m waiting on results. I’m dealing with a hurt shoulder. I was encouraged when she said she didn’t think it was a rotator cuff issue but if it doesn’t improve then I’ll have to go see an ortho. I swear it is always something! I know it’s my own fault. If I was exercising and stretching…

Hello Hatters! We’re back from our hiking trip. We actually did a couple of pretty challenging hikes and it felt good to accomplish that endeavor! The second day was about seven miles! I was the youngest one hiking so I couldn’t complain. lol. We got the call on our way home that we could go see our new grandson. It was…
-
Wow!!!!! That high wire looks serious! I don’t think I would attempt it either. You did everything else and that’s impressive! There are women in my volunteer service club that are in their 80’s and nothing stops them. I think the key is to keep moving! Let’s keep doing that but add some dumbbells! lol. We’re all meeting…
-
How are you two doing? We’ve all been so quiet lately. I hope you’re both healthy and enjoying life. I know we all have a lot going on. Unfortunately I haven’t made any progress on changing my ways to a more healthy lifestyle. I always find some lame excuse. We had a visit from a family member last weekend who is 70 years…
-
I’ve been trying to “speak” to myself with more care and positivity. Thanks for the reminder, Snoozie. Today we went on our first hike since we returned from the UK back in May. We hiked about four miles and the elevation gain was only about 700 feet overall. I did okay. We hiked about two hours which included a short…

I’m at the point right now where I feel so bloated and uncomfortable. Nothing fits well and I have no energy. It’s like I’ve been waiting to hit rock bottom and now I’m there. I need this to be my day one because one day just keeps getting further and further away. I’m so disappointed in myself.
-
I love that, Snoozie!
-
At least you’re still weighing and conscious of what’s going on. You have a plan, that’s good. I need to get back to basics. I don’t know why I’m having such a hard time getting started. Baby steps. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
-
Wow, that’s a lot of rain Snoozie! I feel bad telling you that we’ve had a fantastic summer here. We actually haven’t had enough rain. Mother Nature has a mean sense of humor, doesn’t she? My summer has been busy but fun. I love spending time with my grandkids. They’re doing really well. The Woman’s Club I’m in is having…
-
Snoozie I can not believe it has taken so long to get everything fixed. I’m so impatient with stuff like that. I’m glad the end is in sight and it’s just putting away stuff. You may decide you don’t even need most of that stuff anyway. I’ve hear way more positive outcomes than negative with knee and hip replacements. So…
-
CONGRATULATIONS GRANDMA!!! How exciting! I’m so very happy for you all! I love being a GaGa, that’s the name my granddaughter gave me. Get as many snuggles as you can. I know it’s hard to know when to do the replacement surgeries. It’s the same with a knee. I’m hoping I can avoid it but I doubt I’ll be able to. Right now…
-
Vail I’m so sorry to hear about your hip. If it’s any consolation, I’ve heard from people who have had a hip replacement that it’s so much easier than they thought it would be. I hope that’s the case with you. With nationalized healthcare will you be on a waiting list? If so then you have time to get some strength training…
-
Hello you two! We got back home on the 29th and had a wonderful trip. I ended up not doing that last day of hiking. My body was protesting and I just didn't want to do it. Luckily, my husband was very understanding about it. I mean...it was supposed to be a vacation! lol. It ended up that the last day was mostly walking…
-
Was that your favorite band, Vail? I can’t remember. I’m in England now. We’ve completed two days along Hadrian’s Wall. Yesterday was absolutely exhausting! Today was an off day and we walked about four miles round trip to see Vindolanda Roman Museum from our B&B. It’s so hot! I’ve got sunburned! I wasn’t expecting such…

Hello Hatters! Sorry I've been MIA lately. I've just been really busy. Snoozie I hope your back is better. All that moving isn't helping, I'm sure. Is it all done now? Great news on not having to go back on the meds. You've got this! You can do it! Vail, how's the hip? You talked about never being able to walk long…
