Hey everyone
MsRD - old habits are hard to break... hope you stopped at one, that's not so bad. Liek we were saying ....you're doing well most of the time. Focus on that.... there will probably be other cookies there in the future - that's life. PS According to Elisha you need to do 20 minutes on the bike to justify it.... just kidding wink wink
Hikein - glad you're feeling more positive today. Maybe buddying up with Elisha is a good strategy for you... Maybe our next challenge should be trying to make a habit of at least one thing for the entire month .... i.e. drink 64 oz of water every day or limit carbs to a certain % of your diet (or none) getting all your veggies in... recognizing the "good" or OP things you do everyday... stuff like that... what do you think?
Lisa - so sorry about your complications - take it slow... I don't think you need to focus too much on what you're eating at this point - maybe portions as you're not exercising as much - but your body is also using up extra energy healing itself. What agreat support system you have - appreciate it. What a sweet boy you have! I know you missed the time that you felt he needed you - but DH was there to be in your place... so many children don't have that. And Mommy was there in the end to snuggle with and be comforted by. I know I always felt bad when I had to miss a sports day - or a school function because I had to work. So I kinda lived by quality nonot quantity.
Chick Tracy - Remember the power of positive thinking .... recovery gets better day by day.... How is the family making out with helping you?
HotCup - Hope I didn't scare you away.... Today and tomorrow are new days - an opportunity to re-group, re-focus, renew ... Take care of you..... you go through the motions enough time you get into a habit... the next thing you know - it's is what you enjoy....
