Char, love the kitty with her head in the cup, so cute.

Linville, got it.  Went back and saw the fans, most cool.  That is crazy that the whole US is gonna be so cold.  Starts this week did you write?  

Man I have go to get back on the program and lose weight again.  I managed to gain back the 25 lbs I lost a couple years ago when I stopped eating sugar and wheat.  I can overeat any category of food.  

Plus I have managed to gobble my meds and now I have 3 a day (instead of 4) for the next 3 weeks.

Not to mention I may fail my PM practice UA in 3 weeks.  NOT SURE I am gonna have to take one.  

Anyway, I am gonna need to dig deep to get my act together.  

I am strong for my DD and often my DH but it does take a toll on me.  Loving someone as much as I love my DD really hurts.  I knew being a mother would be the hardest thing I had ever done which is one of the reasons I waited so long to have one.  I was 40 when I had her.  

Anyway, I think I am gonna start an exercise and healthy eating thread and post in it every day through Jan 1st.  Hope you all will join me.  Having a thread makes me accountable sort of.  

Or maybe I will start it all tomorrow ..

Hi Fire,

I hope things are gettin' easier for DD and the pain is backin' off. Poor kid. She's very brave to go thru all of that, but sounds like a real trooper. She's much braver than I would be for sure. Crossin' my fingers that it gets better each day for her and you.

I'll be sending good vibes for you as well when you have your UA done. I know how you feel. Tomorrow I go to my PM doc and I'm sure I'll have to take the fun UA test too. I pray that a med I have been takin' off and on that he doesn't prescribe to me, but knows I have a few from a previous surgery, won't show up. But I made sure to call the office weeks ago to make sure it was ok if I take one when the back pain is very bad and my meds he gives me were not helpin' very much. So, I think it will be ok if it should show up since they know about it already. But just for good measure I stopped takin' it a few days ago.

So, here's to the best luck to us both. We can't afford to mess up and lose our doc's that prescribe with the way things are goin' . I'm also nervous to see if he's gonna bring up his suggestion of sending me to a different PM doc. I really PRAY it doesn't come up at all, but guess I'll know soon.

Good luck with your doc. I'll be thinkin' of ya and sending those vibes.

@FP......your post made me smile big time. you have a good grasp of what is needed for you and your family.....and a good perspective too.

Yeah, go for it on the health thing, none of us has ever regretted paying more attention to our health. Sugar is so easily underestimated as to it's effects on our thinking and our health.

My wonderful SO has reinvented herself, and is now a yoga teacher and we are 1/2 way to vegetarianism......we are not extremists and the vegan thing doesn't even seem healthy to me....but we have replaced our beef intake by 80%......chicken, fish and tofu have taken up the slack.....I told her I would jump on board and am happy for it. Tofu is really tasteless.....so it's made tasteful by how and what you cook it in. I really like it now, especially when it's baked first....it gives it a chewy and crunchy texture that quite appealing.

let us know how your going about it.....we never stop learning

Good Morning All....

Morning Charon. I hope you feel better & stay warm during these low temps.

Morning Linville. Thanks for posting that map. Have a good Friday friend.

Morning Fireplaces & Cricket. Best wishes with your upcoming UA tests. My doctor had me take one in early November & I was freaking out with what might be found. It was ok for me this time but I feel like having to take that test feels like an invasion of my privacy.

Morning Audrey & TommyGun I hope you have a good Friday.

Morning Popster & good luck with your new plan to get healthier.

Good Morning Dancing Wolf. I so enjoy reading your posts. I am hoping that you feel much better real soon my friend.

Everybody else I might have missed, I hope you all can stay warm & have a good Friday.
