Hi there, just stopping by with an update...


I did (barely) manage to meet my January goal of 15 hours, but I'm already a couple of hours behind pace for my February goal. I'm not terribly optimistic about getting to the gym even four hours a week, but we'll see, I might surprise myself. ;-)

You know, it's awfully tough to lose weight when you're taking Prednisone. My DH is having a devil of a time, and the doctor said it's mostly because of the steroid medications he has to take to control his asthma. You're doing great with your daily exercise! Don't beat yourself up over what the scale says.

I really try not to, but it's hard sometimes. I am just not used to this added weight.


How are you feeling? And mom?

With your week split up the way it is, I can imagine it's difficult to meet your goal.

Are you still utilizing a gym near your mom too?

Here's a little matching game that offers suggestions for healthy snack alternatives:

I did manage (just barely) to get them all matched. It was tough because you couldn't really tell what some of them were.

I understand how difficult it must be for you. Just keep hanging in there and come talk to us when you feel discouraged.


I haven't been feeling real hot for the past week -- not sick, but not quite up to snuff. A friend who is usually right about such things has already suggested it may be a sign of impending burnout, and I know it might very well be just that.


Everything has been so up and down with my mother, I don't remember where it was last time I reported about her. An angiogram showed that the aneurysm is expanding, so she does need to have a stent put in to completely seal it. She will be having that done on Feb. 19th. Meanwhile, she is taking a blood thinner in preparation for the surgery and so isn't allowed to do any physical activity, which is completely frustrating for her. She even has to use a hoyer lift just to get out of bed. On the upside, though, her mental faculties are as sharp as ever, and her doctor says she has many more good years left once she gets this stent.
