  • File this under " I KNEW I WAS IN PAIN". Last years siatica surgery - metal implants to the pelvis, have come loose. Resolve: additional surgery. I cannot express how low I am right now. Reduced to walking - usually not more than 15 minutes at a time, reducing my caloric burn off - not to mention getting rid of…

  • Hello! Just back from a two week journey to "completely off the wagon & perhaps I lost my mind a little too"! Today I rejoined my regularly scheduled YMCA meeting and benefitted from group chat, finding out all of us had hit a wall. Interestingly enough, the chapter lesson this week was exactly this frustration! I feel…

  • Yesterday I had an epic foodie meltdown like I hadn't seen in years, emotionally charged and in complete abandon of all I know to be healthy. I think aliens had me by the mouth! I went to bed feeling ill and not very happy with myself. Whoa...the only big deal of the day was a 3-month wellness check up to ensure I'm still…

  • SO FRUSTRATED - I'm having severe low back pain and reduced to walking. Secondary Frustration - less than two year old bed isn't comfortable anymore, I get that sinking feeling in the middle of the mattress. I think it's making me...cranky!

  • Thanks Ivey - this morning scale was up yet again, and though I'm not a 'freak out' kind of lady - this bothered me all the way to the office. However, I've had my breakfast and am already planning this evenings work out. I guess my flinch is 20+ years of diets and fails. Moving on...

  • Oh my, the sins of last week are staring up at me from the scale! Okay, I'm back on track and should see a reverse soon.

  • UPDATE: Much less frustration since mom started the "Daniel's Plan". I'm hearing many churches introduce in the first months of the new year. Basic plan is to nix the breads, alcohol, meat and dairy. Now we're working together better, and our food is not doctored up when it hits the table! On another note: dad is grumpy…

  • Good Morning ~ Here's to a new day, a clean slate! Other than having this "safe" community of like minded thinkers, what has worked for me is to become my own best cheerleader! I had to become selfish and determine this new lifestyle was my own responsibility - and no one, not even those who love me best could be anything…

  • I WILL loose that 100 pounds...one pound ~ one meal ~ one opportunity to exercise at a time. I can't think beyond what the scale says TODAY. Think of it...could you pick up and carry 100 pounds right now? No ~ but you can carry 1 pound right now. I had to get my head straight before I could begin this "lifestyle change".…
