I worked yesterday morning and then spent 6 hours in the car. It occurs to me (finally) that what I think of as normal days are actually the abnormal ones. Right now everyday is filled with errands, appointments and chauffeuring. I need to mentally shift to that is my normal. All that to say exercise did not happen. Eating was on plan but my choices were so-so. Ah well, it is what it is. Have a great day all. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Not how I spend my money but, if you choose that because it is what value, go ahead. I've had too many people speak badly about my choices, ie. Not "using" my degree, not pulling my weight, wasting retirement money on having a larger family that I won't judge. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

My problem is while poo pooing one set of scientific studies as poorly constructed you can't promote another set of poorly constructed scientific studies. I suspect we are in the leeches and bloodletting stage of medicine where brain health is concerned. I suspect what works for each person may be individual and unique. I seldom trust anyone with "the" answer. Meds, counseling, exercise, gut health, meditation...sorting through it all trying to feel better would overwhelm someone who felt well, let alone depressed.

I took my girls to the circus today. I ate some cracker jack but avoided all the other traps. Yay! Got my sunshine. Sleep however. I slept a bit, was up and read for 2 hours and then slept a bit more. I never feel bad but I can't help thinking my 6 hours sleeping norm is not good for me.

That whole "The tub drain spins the other way in the southern hemisphere " thing.

Taught yoga but came home, made brownies and ate one. Just one though. I guess today just became an S day and Sunday will be a No S day. S'all good. I will walk with the dog later but I think I will take a 10 minute nap first. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Just (((hugs))). About yoga...modify, modify, modify. Listen to your body! Yoga is a practice. Ditch that idea of doing it "right". Hang in there <3 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I 'd cook it with no worries. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I think each store has it's own "personality", even among chains. You have to know what you want ie. choice, price, cleanliness, etc. 14 yo dd needs jeans so I know, here, Goodwill is my stop. The other two thrift stores get old lady clothes here. Goodwill will have nice, younger styles for $4. Lousy housewares though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Stepped on the scale today. I'm down 3 pounds total. I had to be in the car that for 3 hours. Not good. I ate lunch on the rin. Boiled eggs and an apple is not cutting it [emoji14] I did walk the dog twice and will again tonight. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

So I managed to keep my eating plan on track despite one of those three event evenings. The bad news is I woke up at 2 am with a migraine, stress related I'm sure. I medicated and dozed but not great sleep and I'm still in headache hangover territory so no run this morning and I tried my SAD light but ugh, not happening. Positive is I did a short, app guided meditation for anxiety/worry. On to work. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Ok, lots of family/children crazy right now. It occurred to me yesterday I didn't feel myself and I was low (for me) this morning. Duh. Soooo, it's time for my SAD light and more air and more veggies and sleep. #selfcare18 #mamaain'tindestructible Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Yes, providing I keep my personality. I have thought about this. I would adore a retirement place with arts and programs and shows and pool. If I sit alone in my home no. I need people and action. My relatives all seem to run pedal to the metal until their late 80's and then just, boom, run off a cliff. There are worse things than that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Love CLE for kids who need reminders. I'd get 302 (301 is review of 200) I'd focus on what he is weak in and only do a small amount of the "we remember" review section of what he does know and focus on the concepts he is weaker on. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

My birthday led to three pretty caloric eating days but onward and upward. I'm trying to take the long view. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

This. I am UMC and our church is accepting and loving but there is always the odd group, KWIM. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

My 19 yo is going to Thailand and Malaysia this May so I DO understand your fears but kids learn by doing. I'm encouraging that asking questions is smart and stay in public. If your dd has a host family hopefully they can clue her in to local safety concerns. Ultimately they are probably safer than in some American cities. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

You look adorable. I too am an apple. I have much better luck with leggings but when forced to wear jeans I go with ones that have spandex/lycra. I can get bigger for my waist to avoid muffin top without the saggy behind. I'm listening for better options. :bigear: Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

Teach at the gym 9-12 Deal with the bank. Again. Drive to college to p/u dd. That will be a time suck but worth it.

You are in my prayers.

Yay! Victories! :party:

This is a no brainer, if they see it or an altercation over it they intervene. I do think reminders through email, text, posted signs would make the job easier. "Oh, so sorry but the boss's gym policy is blah, blah, blah."
