Yes, that makes perfect sense.  I never had many friends, I think in part because of moving so much.  But when I did have a friend, we were really close, which made it all the more painful to leave them.  I think if I could get rid of some insecurities, the friend part would also be true. People seem to like me, but I have a hard time letting an…[Read more]

My personality type is Defender ISFJ-T.  It says 13% of the population are defenders.  I’m introverted, observant, my decisions and emotions are based on feelings, I’m not assertive.  Says I’m sensitive, analytical, reserved…all true.  But says well-developed people skills and robust social relationships..can’t be farther from truth.  Says altr…[Read more]

I joined the Y, mainly to do the arthritis swim class.  But haven’t been to class yet.  I did go and do some walking in the water during their rec swim time, and it really helped my knees and hips. So, I also need to get up the courage to go to the official class.  I’m sure it will be helpful. Good luck to you; hopefully we’ll both find the co…[Read more]

I’m in. Will help with getting more fluids too.

Thanks, will do.

Haven’t checked in for a few days. I haven’t been tracking my food lately, but will start again today.  Maybe TMI, but having some anxiety issues.  Have an appt with my Dr for this afternoon, and hopefully will get some help with that, and then I can get back on track. REALLY need to lose some weight.  So far have had a protein drink today.  W…[Read more]

Weight for me. I’d like to be in the normal BMI range again. I was down to 155, at 5’8″, and was still in a size 16 pants.  So I know I’ll never get down to a small size without skin removal surgery.

Yes, I’m up for that

I did shop with a list yesterday, and chose wisely. They were out of half and half, so I got that today, and bought a piece of cake and peeps. Oh well. Making the chili tomorrow, and I have bananas, watermelon and clementines to snack on, so tomorrow will be a better day😊

Carlisle, PA. Near Harrisburg. I’m a little skeptical too.  It wouldn’t be the first time it didn’t come to fruition. I guess they’re still waiting on the definite track of the storm for now.

I didn’t track my food fully on Friday, and not at all on Saturday.  And without it, I didn’t make healthy choices.  Going to track everything again starting today.

That would be very helpful.

Lol on tossing cookies.  I wouldn’t say I was hungrier. I went grocery shopping, and saw cookies on sale. I know better, but I bought them, and baked them. And because I was stressed, I ate and ate.  Didn’t make me feel better, in fact made me feel worse, but it is what I tend to do with stress.  It’s a lesson I learned from my grandma when we ha…[Read more]

So far today, I’ve had a Premier protein drink, and a salad.  I have a paint class tonight, with beverages, wine, and snacks.  That might be a hard one, so I’m going to go light today, so I can enjoy myself tonight.
