AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Everyone is throwing up and we all have fevers. Mary cried for about 20 minutes until I just stopped and cuddled her. John's following me around and laying at my feet wherever I am and Mary keeps requesting that I move her from location to location. Fortunately my kids never stay sick long. I'm so sorry. I hope everyone gets better soon. Poor babies.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikslo Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 You could get an exercise ball and bounce all day. :lol: Can you see a PT about your ankle? I imagine the right exercise would strengthen your ankle. I'm thinking of asking for one of those stand-up desks. A few people here recently have been trying them out.

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I have a fitness band that I've learned a lot from and I think it might benefit you. It tracks my activity,sleep and eating habits. It's informed me of how certain foods and behaviors affect my ability to sleep and move. I used to sleep 4 hours a night and take two naps. Now I sleep 7 hours a night and nap on occasion. I've also uped my step count by an average of 2000 steps without trying just because what I've learned about myself from the data has made me healthier. I know you have several health conditions, I'm not pretending you don't, but I just can't believe how it's changed my life. Thank you for posting this. DH gave the girls and me inexpensive bands of this sort just last night. As soon as I saw your post I ran upstairs to get it. I did figure out one gotcha already, however. I can't get the charging cord off of it and I can't wear it with the cord on (it attaches inside the bracelet). Sigh. I'll have to wait for DH to get home unless I can get this thing to detach without breaking it. It would have been a good thing for me to wear with today's level of busy-ness, too....

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've offended so many people here. It's ridiculous. I feel so bad. There was a thread of over wight people and someone said "it's not that all thin people are the enemy" and I said "they're not?". Huge mistake. I also have a tendency to say Catholic vs Christian instead of Catholic vs protestant. Not good. I'm sure I'm on a few ignore lists for that. Yeah, you fit right in here!

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 It's not quite noon and I'm sleepy again. I'm going to sign off here and go to the pharmacy again on my way to pick dd up at the Y. It's sort of like Cheers when I go to the pharmacy. They all know me in there. I'm not so sure it's a good thing that they no longer ask for my name or birthdate and just go get my meds off the shelf. Convenient, though! I now know most of their names as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've offended loads of people on the hive haha, sometimes on purpose but mostly by accident and then I feel badly. Usually due to a miscommunication, like they thought I was saying something other than I was because I did not word a post right etc. It's funny irl I am thought to be wise-ish, and people come to me asking for advice etc, but on the hive I sound like a dimwit, and can't get my thoughts out on screen properly and don't use the huge vocabulary that others us etc. THat's partly why I like this thread. There is no pretension, I don't feel like I have to have 3 degrees to be part of the conversation, I'm not witty with a comeback for everything, and not that smart but ya'll seem to take me as I come, which is all anyone can hope for. Yeah, we are all ignoring that nonsense here. We all flub up now and then. This thread is for fun and friendship. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 And I'm over wight. Be nice. I think it's damaging to other people's eyes. So am I.

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I've gained a bit of weight lately, and it is making me angry with myself. I need to get off my tush and do something about it.

AMJ Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Not that you asked, but I'm rude so... Daily hour long walks do wonders. Roasted veggies for lunch easily lowers your calorie intake. Water bottle. Quinoa. Lose it app (free). YouTube videos for fitness. :D I'm housebound for the next 3 months or so, due to high heat, massive humidity, and the threat of being bled dry by all of the mosquitoes. I do go paddling when we can on weekends. I bathe in Deep Woods Off and paddle fast, and the water helps cool me down. We do have a treadmill, a stationary bike, and a cable weight machine, but I never seem to stay on them long. I am seriously thinking of trying to find a former personal trainer of mine to see if I can get her to come train me here, in my home. I love roasted veggies. I needed that reminder of how easy they are. I love water. Quinoa is great in Scrappy Soup. I'm not sure what else to do with it. Lose it app -- I'll go look it up, once I've found my phone. Yes, I really have misplaced it today. I can't watch things and do stuff at the same time. I'll stop what I'm doing and just watch every time.
