Don't you mean "legen - wait for it - DARY"? :wink:

Yes, thank goodness for that. :tongue: A rare moment of not thinking before I post. I realize my post wasn't helpful, and I apologize for my lack of decorum. To actually add something to the discussion; As a child my view of my father was very much tied into his appearance. I thought of him as a big, cuddly, protective…

So, every child in the world will respond the same way your children do? Because all children are the same and will act the same? And a woman asking for advice, on a site meant for support, for how to explain to her child that things will be okay is trying to find an excuse to quit? Rather presumptuous, isn't that? No…

Hello, my name is Olivia. =) I'm dealing with some longterm health challenges. Recently things flared up and just about everything in my general day to day routine fell apart so health/fitness/weight got completely lost in the wayside. I'm working on slowly easing myself back into everything, because the last few times I…

So. Tired. :yawn: I'm going to go exercise anyway though. Even getting just a little of the workout done is better than nothing, huh? Mary - I was thinking that too, using the new group thing would be better I think. Yawning, boogaloo. :yawn: :yawn:

Heya, I'm still around. Sorta. Been really tired and feeling stressed, but my diet and exercise have been okay. Not great mind you, but not awful. There is a taekwondo studio a couple blocks from me that I'd like to check out, but I've been too shy to call and inquire for details. I also want to apply for a job at one of…

I'm alive, I am! And so is my laptop, finally. I've been stressed the past few weeks and in a real funk. I really need to take a step back and figure out how to pull myself out of it. Things have felt really out of control for some reason. I also had another seizure, and instead of going off my meds like I was considering…

Blarg! I'm still alive, really! My laptop not so much though. :frown: I haven't been spending much time at all online with the combo of getting settled in the new house and not having my laptop (I hate being tethered to a desk :grumble: ). I've gained a couple pounds, and been kinda teetering back and forth with eating…

Hey guys! Just a quick post to let you know I haven't been abducted by aliens. :laugh: We closed on the house, now busy getting it cleaned/painted/moved into. I probably won't be around much for a week or two. New house, boogaloo!

Remembering to check in! :bigsmile: I had a pretty good day yesterday. My workout was decent, and while I wasn't uber-productive, I did get what I needed to do done. Somehow I pulled a muscle in my back though, right underneath my left shoulder blade. I don't know how....it didn't hurt last night before bed, but I woke up…

I'm here! Been reading every day, just haven't taken the time to post. I had a wonderful day Monday, was super busy-busy, got a lot done and had a good workout. Then yesterday I just crashed. I spent most of the day gravitating back to bed (even got under the covers, and I hate unmaking the bed before nighttime). I tried…

Hey guys, sorry for being MIA. I've been feeling pretty icky. Been stressing, and TOM came as the perfect thing to top it off. :grumble: I've kinda slipped out of my routine, really need to get back on track. The inspection on the house went well. I can't wait to move in!! Just two weeks until closing!! The plan is once…

Mornin' guys. I feel like I've been busy busy, and yet getting nothing done. :ohwell: So I can now add a spinning my wheels feeling on top of the limbo feeling. :laugh: But I'm still moving forward. :smile: I decided to change some things around, because what I was doing just was not working anymore. I made my daily…

MM- Hah, well I guess I can feel better about my stuffed animals then! :bigsmile: Some of them are special because my Dad sent them to me when I was younger, but others are just cheap little things I picked up on a whim because they were cute. So the latter will probably end up being packed away in the new house til…

Morning! I'm feeling better today, but kind of unfocused and I have that mopey "in limbo" feeling. I keep thinking of stuff to do but it still feels like I'm wandering around aimlessly. It's probably cause I'm looking forward to the house. I'm thinking about getting started on the packing now, even though it's way soon.…

Tried to fix it, but looks like it still doesn't work. =/ Congrats though!

V- Your guilty cycle internal dialogue very closely matches mine. It's a hard thing to break once it's started. But between a long talk I had with a friend this morning and your blog post things are looking a lot better. MM- I'm a bit impatient too. I'm dreaming out all the different things I'm going to do, how I'm going…

My cat sleeps on my head too! lol. I thought my cat was just weird. :bigsmile: She tends to sleep by herself in the summer though, I guess she wants my body heat in the winter. :laugh: I always miss cuddling her during the warm months.

V- Thank you for that blog post. :flowerforyou: MM- I hope things calm down for you guys. Moving is always a big ball of stress, even if you're happy to move. Mary- That doesn't sound good about the toilets. :huh: I don't have any advice, but I hope you figure it out! Our offer was accepted, but we're still waiting on the…

Well, food yesterday was a complete FAIL. Okay....so everything was kind of a fail. :ohwell: New day, new chance right? Not feeling too good today, and nervous about getting a response to our offer. Try again, boogaloo.

Aaaaah! It's August already?!? Where did my year go? :indifferent: I blinked, and it disappeared.... Anyway, I'm hoping for a productive week. And we should hear on Tuesday if our offer on the house was accepted!! I'm so nervous, I want this place so badly! MM- I hope you're legs continue to improve! And I hope you both…

Just a quick post, have lots to do...but wanted to say I had a very hard time watching "How to Train Your Dragon" too, Mary. I actually cried, and ran out of the room several times! :laugh: And even though it's a kids movie I was still scared the dragon would die. :ohwell: Today it's housework then the appointment with our…

Hey guys! So sorry for not being around, things have been super busy. Hubby and I met with a Realtor yesterday to talk about buying a house (we're so sick of renting, and SO sick of apartment life). We went to view some today, thinking we'd spend a month or two trying to find one we liked. Well....we found the PERFECT…

My brain is all over the place, slept in AGAIN (I feel so lazy if I stay in bed past 6:30-7:00am...and I didn't get up til 8 :grumble: ) and I feel sluggish. But yesterday made two days in a row where I got everything on my to-do list accomplished! So I guess I must feel a little better since I'm getting more done. My…

Yesterday started out alright. I got up at a decent time and got busy right away, was being very productive....and it just kept going more and more downhill until I was just miserable. Barely got in 20 minutes of exercise in the afternoon and felt really bad about it. In the evening I was plagued with thoughts resembling…

Today isn't going great so far. I'm really tired, and actually just got over a bout of crying - for essentially no real reason. Could this be because of reducing my keppra to half a dose last night and this morning maybe? I'm trying to stay on plan. I did do some step aerobics yesterday (after doing the stretching/just…

MM- I'd have been scared too! I'm feeling kind of sick today. I'm sore from my workout yesterday (I pushed hard though, so I earned it :laugh: ). My exercise today will be something slow and very low impact. I might even just put my own music on and simply focus on moving my body and dynamic stretching. Had the appointment…

Sorry for not checking in, been feeling kind of off. I'm looking forward to the weekend and then a fresh week. I feel kind of stuck in limbo, like I'm waiting for something. But I have no idea what it is! I've been tired and sleeping in too, which isn't helping. But I'll keep trying one day at a time till I fall back into…

Thanks for explaining the pebbles thing. It's cute, I like it. =) MM- *big hugs* I hope you feel better soon. I can relate, on my bad days just walking from the couch to the bedroom is a tremendous effort, let alone cleaning and working out. And that's not to mention the mental fuzziness and achiness. :ohwell: I hope…

So I'll admit that yesterday wasn't as productive as I'd intended, since I spent most of the day talking with a friend. :ohwell: But it was relaxing and I felt rested today. Been busy most of the day, and exercised even though it's usually a rest day since I skipped it last night. I'm going out for a movie tonight with…
