Good day yesterday. Wicked hot here today which makes me miserable. <grumble grumble> I'm fighting cravings and, so far, winning. One more wicked hot day. Then hot tomorrow until storms blow in and temps drop to low 80's and low humidity on Monday.
on the road alot yesterday but did good. We are eating out alot but I am trying to make good choices. Daddy is still suffering so much and its so hard to watch. Guess we will be heading back up there today in a few hours. I have to get a few things done here before we head out.
On the road again yesterday, did great at lunch but over ate at dinner last night. I will be more careful when we are traveling. Looks like daddy may linger a few more days, he has such a strong will to live.
Im going to try and babysit today but it will be hard since my heart wants to be with my family. Its one of those days I wish I could be 2 places at once.
Hi all,
I am so sorry for your family sadness. We reach a point in your lives when parents are in failing health and leaving us and whether you are 22 or 62 the pain is just the same. During my working life as a Physiotherapist working with the elderly we had 2 patients attend our clinic. A woman of 81 and her 103 year old mum. When the older lady passed away the grief of her daughter was no less than mine when my Mum passed away aged 64. Remember: to live in the hearts of those we leave behind is not to die.
On a lighter note if I may, I was on holiday in beautiful West Wales last week. For a variety of reasons I fell off plan for the second half of the holiday. Now in my previous weight loss attempts that would have been the end of it, but I have managed to get enthusistically back on plan and have upped my exercise level. My knees are a thousand times better which means I cope with the increased exercise and my asthma is the best it's been in ages.
Take care lovely ladies and God Bless
Debbie, thoughts and prayers for you and your parents.
Mountain, good job getting back on track.
I've been off plan, in that I haven't been posting or even logging my eating. But I've been eating mostly okay and getting exercise daily.
Right now we're in Michigan, on the shores of Lake Superior, where it's nice and cool. We've done some wonderful hiking--so nice to be outside, hear the birds and the waves, smell some fresh air. Tomorrow we head to Wisconsin for a day, then Wednesday we meet up with friends in Chicago for lunch and an afternoon at the art institute before heading home. Next week I'm traveling again, to visit family, and the week after classes begin, so, in short, I'm too busy already, and the semester hasn't even started yet.
Organization is definitely the key. Tomorrow's a sort of down day in terms of our vacation, and so I ought to be able to find time to do some organization for the remainder of the week.
I'll try to pop in tomorrow, but I might be MIA until we get back home Weds. night.
I've had 4 - count 'em - 4 POP days in a row with 2 days of exercise. Hope to continue this. I need to get a long string going again. I already feel better.
Hope your doing well my cyber friends.
Ruth
