Good morning, Bluesers!
Anna, Dee, Fran - I'm so sorry to hear that all of you have been sick. I hope you feel better quickly. FYI...there is a 24 hour bug going around. My youngest DD and my SIL had it this past weekend. They said it's nasty stuff.
Anjuli - That is a long time to wait for an appointment when you're having an issue with dizziness. Can you call mid-morning every day to see if they have any cancellations?
Sonja - I'm so glad to hear from you! I was hoping that you weren't another one of my favorite people who has decided to drop out of the challenge. I need you guys!
Trailgroomer - Sorry about the game..I didn't know what it was.
I'll post mine next.
Zinke - I was thinking about you yesterday. So glad you're back with us. Just put the baby shower behind you and move on. What is your exercise plan for today?
MJ - So sorry to hear that the knee is paining you again. I hope it eases up and you won't need another shot anytime soon.
Dora - I love my steelcut oats! The ratio is 4 cups of liquid to 1 cup of oats. I usually use 3 cups of water and 1 cup of fat free half-and-half. I also add a tsp of salt and 2 tsp of vanilla. Cook on low for 7-8 hours. I refrigerate this and heat up 1 cup each morning. Yum! It's also really delicious with dried fruit and other spices. I experiment every once in a while, but the vanilla is my favorite.
Well, some of you may have noticed that I've been a bit "grumpy" and negative lately.
My glass has been 1/2 empty for quite a while now. I haven't been able to get back on track with the weight loss and I'm just disatisfied with my life in general. I've mentioned before that I struggle with depression, so I'm not sure why I'm fighting myself on this and trying to white knuckle my way through life right now. I finally got real with myself and admitted that I need to go back on some anti-depressants and get back on track. I called and made an appointment with my doctor for tomorrow afternoon. Why is mental health such a taboo or difficult subject? I almost feel like I shouldn't even admit my depression here on the threads....as if I have something to be ashamed of. But, I've always been 100% honest about my journey and I see no reason to stop now. Who knows...maybe this will actually help someone else. That would be a silver lining!
Hope everyone has a great on-plan day.
