Busy, busy day. H is all set for his monitor on Thurs. I know it'll be the beginning of a new HEALTHIER chapter for both of us. I'm sooo ready for it!
Healthy eating. Walked for an hour. Plenty of water. So I'm staying on track for my resolution.
onmiwei: Glad to hear you're feeling better! Must be nice to be actually able to eat something! Glad you're able to let the laywers & insurance fight it out for the most part. YUP! This guy belongs behind bars! I have no sympathy for people like him.
olehcat: HA HA!! I'm working out my arms too! I just finished working my biceps, triceps & traps! I'm sure I'll hurt tomorrow! Oh, well...I need to tone.
newleaf: Yup, alcohol is a personal choice, except like in the case of H. His medical condition & meds really make that a no-no. So in support of him, I've decided to quit too. And in reality, I don't need the empty calories. I just hope anyone here partaking of adult beverages doesn't drink afterwards...there I really do have an issue.
kelijpa: Those are awesome! Negative talk is one that is really hard to stop, but I look it at as SELF BULLYING! If we take a stand against bullying we should also NOT BULLY ourselves! I do journal. I'm not perfect at it, but I find it helps me stay on track. Our own paths...we all decide what is best for us. I'd just hope that it's a path to better health. How we get there is personal. What works for one doesn't work for all. Thanks for sharing those tips!
NEMom: UGH! I hate moving! Wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy! Glad it's done. AWESOME! I don't know how you're kicking the habit, but I'm proud of you! I know about foot pain. I spend all day on my feet & they HATE it! I find the better shape I'm in the better they seem to be, less painful. I also soak them & massage them nearly every evening...they are pretty spoiled!
guacamole: Walking is one of my favorite exercises. I love getting out & seeing what I might see. Just the other day I walked right up on a redtail hawk...just wish I had my camera. Next time! My eldest brother gave me code to remember ABC...always bring camera. I've seen some crazy things, like turkeys in the church yard right across the street! Also I'm just a nut about nature.
***See end of post: some of what I've seen recently***
junem: I have also cut out alcohol. Hubby can't have it because of his health condition & meds. I do it to support him. Trust me, there are days I'd love a dark, hoppy beer & a shot of Jack...but I really don't need the empty calories. I also don't want to make things any rougher on him.
CantLookInTheMirror: Glad to have you join us! I think your screen name probably voices exactly what many of us feel on most days. But know this...you can change that! Make little changes, then once those become second nature...make a few more little changes. Like you don't have to run a marathon your first day, just walk for 10-15 mins. Try & replace one "unhealthy" thing for something more healthy. Trade 1 soda for a big glass of water or unsweetened iced tea.
You can do this! You are worth it & let us support & encourage you along the way!!
OKAY LADIES OF THE 40'S BOARD! BE HEALTHY! BE STRONG! BE AWESOME! LET'S ROCK IT LIKE WE ARE 20-SOMETHINGS! MOVE IT!!!! MOVE IT!!!! MOVE IT!!!!
