This thread was started before the dawn of time by Amazons who needed to compare their stats with other Amazons. Over time it grew into a community of incredible women who try to keep their spirits in the clouds and their feet on the ground, moving toward health. Most of us start at 5'7 and go up from there, from young singles to wise and lively elders of the tribe. We welcome newcomers who are willing to be kind and share a bit of their lives.

'Morning, all. I am hoping to make a grocery run before the weather beats us back. DH says it's all south of us now, so maybe we'll miss out on the worst of it. *fingers crossed* I hate the thought of a treacherous drive to work tomorrow, as well, because DH will make me stay home.  I'll be smart about it; just hate the thought of missing my first day! No words of wisdom this morning as I wait for the coffee to kick in. |

Good morning! I'm at your latitude, about, Nancy, waiting for the pink to pass over so we can head south to the green, as we watch the radar. A wee bit of ice but the temps are hovering around 32 so the roads should be clear in a few hours. We will probably get half way today and be home by noon tomorrow. It's all good. I brought a lot of work I can do in the car.
Quick farewell to the Raccoon last night, then DH and I had a lazy evening. Very nice. Glad to be off the road.
Coffee required, heading down for it. Stay safe and dry, kittens.

Hey just a quick visit.
Martha, I'm not ignoring you or anyone's questions, I just don't think it's in my best interest to comment.
However, everyone is fine so far. There hasn't been any true change as of yet.
Nancy, I hope you get to your first day. It will be great to be back in the groove. Congrats on another 2 year extension on license! I loved that blog post. I still read, but am trying to not comment on things there.
Another day without going on TM. It is killing me. I wish I had a gym to go to, well I do, but I feel the evil glaringness from JA and really can't. I can't flipping believe that my weight isn't changing. My body is messed up. I should have dropped at least 15 pounds by now. It just goes to show you, the body is resistant to change. It is frustrating.
Well, I'll keep plugging away.
Frieda

Frieda, my dear; your cortisol levels are elevated due to the intense stress you've been put under. That's the road block. I know it's easy for me to say, but ignore the JA. That opinion should no longer matter. Do the TM for the mental health benefits, if nothing else, and don't worry about the scale for a while. It will happen, trust me! <3 Love you, my friend.
I have the TM unfolded in the garage again, and the ceramic heater plugged in, now that I have all the Christmas and donations out of the way, and it's cleaned up again. I'm going to leave soon for the grocery store, and plan to put in some low-sodium frozen things in that I can pair with a salad. Right now, I need the portion control, so don't plan to rely on them for long. If I don't get some results, it will be back to the Dr. to troubleshoot. I'm so frustrated, not feeling good in what I wear, or the way I look. I need to push myself harder. Right now, I'm conscious of added sugar and salt, and think I may have to give up my beloved bread. DH says he'll do it with me, but he's already so thin!
After the store, I plan to put time on the TM, then do my nails. I also should change my FitBit step goal to a higher number.
We went out for supper with friends last night, where I heard a mutual friend had gone in for an insurance PX, and found she has a serious heart issue. The Dr. gave her 5 years, and she now has to wear a heart monitor, connected to a vest with a defibrillator 24/7. She's in our age group, and that scared the pants off me. So, onto the TM, lower sodium, and significant weight loss I go. I'm needing to lose a minimum of 20# to do the best for my cholesterol, a pre-ulcer, and depression. How did I get myself into such a mess??
Let's hear it for lots of salad!
