2 years. Wow. I've started and stopped this post multiple times. I think it's because my heart is super full these days and I struggle with capturing it in a way that makes sense to others. 

I sit here reflecting on how things are different. My

Happy Friday everyone! What are your weekend plans?  Tomorrow is  my long walking day; I will get that out of the way early. The only other things I have planned are making a trip to the YWCA to donate more clothes, spending time at the pool and possib

I'm looking for some feedback. I met with my dietitian today and she strongly recommends that I increase my daily caloric intake due to the amount of exercise I perform. As she is incredibly conservative I was shocked to hear this recommendation from h

Happy Hump Day! Is everyone having a good day? It's a bit cooler here today which is LOVELY. Of course, the cool weather really does make me want to be outside walking and I'm not sure that I will be able to squeeze that in today. Cross your fingers fo

Good morning everyone. I hope folks were able to enjoy their holiday weekend. I ended up working all weekend but was still able to take a little time away and try to relax. This month is crazy at work and I am ready for it to be over which is unfortuna

Good morning everyone. The next few weeks are going to be incredibly crazy and stressful at work. This has typically been when my eating habits have gone out the window. This is going to be a real test of my new found habits. I might not be as visible

Good morning everyone. It's been a crazy couple of weeks and I'm looking forward to getting back into my normal routines.

Happy Friday everyone! My meals are still crazy. I completely fell off the wagon yesterday and grazed all day long. That's not a great thing on a "normal" day much less when I am supposed to be on fluids/soft foods. Ugh. I don't even know why it happen


GooseGirl posted a discussion topic 8 years, 9 months ago

Good morning everyone. I have to admit that I'm feeling a bit frustrated today as I try to wade through differing doctor's opinions. Most of my frustration is likely coming for a simple lack of patience which somehow isn't helping me to realize :) Appa

Good morning everyone. I have a super crazy day at work today. It is always a challenge for me on these types of days to stay on top of my fluids. I'm going to attempt to focus on that today.

Over the last several months it has been interesting to notice that some days things seem so easy and other days things are a definite challenge. Pre-surgery I made a list of goals that I hoped to achieve and have faithfully updated that list over the

Happy Friday everyone! Any big plans for the weekend? My weekend is actually pretty full. It's not crazy busy but there is enough going on that I think I will be fairly consistently on the go although I do think I should get some good pool time in tomo

Good  morning everyone. Last night at support group one of the big topics was the feeling of embarrassment, how we allow that emotion to prevent us from doing things and ways to overcome it. For me, one of the more embarrassing steps was that I took pi

Good morning all! Early start to the day today and I had a few extra minutes so I thought I would hop online and get things started. Yesterday I fell off the rails with my eating in the afternoon. I know exactly what happened and it is a pretty easy ch

It's the start of another week. Happy Monday :) My mental health doctor is challenging me to expand my potential activities beyond walking (in case my knee won't really hold up). I'm in need of suggestions. What is your favorite exercise or activity? <

Happy Friday folks. Glad that it has finally arrived. I have friends coming into town this morning for the weekend. It should be a lot of fun but it will be interesting with my meals. Wish me luck!

Good morning all. I hope the day is starting off well for everyone. Is anyone else looking forward to the weekend as much as I am? Somehow yesterday I got my days confused and since then I have been impatiently waiting for the weekend.

I'm very tired this morning as I stayed up way too late last night. No one to blame but myself, but boy am I dragging today. Anyone have some extra energy they want to send me way :)

GooseGirl posted a discussion topic 8 years, 10 months ago

TGIF. It always amazes me how much I look forward to a Friday on a short week. The trails that I normally walk are flooded out today which means I need to figure out what to do about my walk tomorrow. It is supposed to be a long one; I think that I wil

Hey everyone. I had a really good walk this morning and focused on my pace. As my mileage has gone up my pace has really dropped. It felt good to focus on a faster pace and be able to sustain it for 4 miles. I'm still not where I was when I was 3 miles

My physical therapist suggested that I research if adding amino acids would be helpful for me. Does anyone on here have any experience with this or have any resources they could point me towards to assist in my research? Even with frequent exercise and

Happy Hump Day everyone. I hope the day is going well for everyone. It's a busy day for me but I wanted to pop online for a bit before I am out and about for several hours. 

Oh, I found a new protein that I really like. This is good news for me

Happy Friday and even better it's a holiday weekend. My brother served overseas and our family is so lucky that he made it safely home. I know that there are lots of friends and families out there who were not equally blessed and I encourage folks to t
