***ONE DAY AT A TIME*** July 9 thru Sept 9

Cathy u r right about the slleep. I hate to say. Thhis but I know why I'm gaining ...it is mmy own fault. Thauwhy I hate to evertalk about it. I wake up every hour at night if I'm lucky two hours but about 2 am I eat a pb sandwhich! Even when I don't want to I do... there has been times I think I dreamed. Eating and didn't really do it only to go in kittchen in morning to see a pb spoon! Sometimes a mess of jelly on counter.. it is not like me at all. I don't remember sometimes doing it. And sometimes if I remember my thought process is well I didn't eat mich today so I ccan eat. I know I know lol I can hear the bad looks! I have done this right before my mom past so it can't be stress eating fromm that .. I asked my doctor about has he heard of it he said its callled sleep eating. Yeah well what can I. Do about it? He didn't give me any thing to do. I posted about this before to no answers really. One time....this is gross. I. Could feigly remember eating something when I woke up one morning and my belly FELT pregnant ..I went to kitchen tto find evidence but there was none sooo I thought oh good it was just a dream then. I went to maake my bed and as I flipped the blanket a pb and jelly sandwhich flipped up in the air! It had two botes taken off of it. I was grossed out. But I was happy it was only two bites.

I went for jog today well what I did to b feet friendly I used hr monitor id WALK Up hills. And llightly shuffle to keep it low impact
I still FELT like I ran yet I didn't the whole time and I was extremely slow so I hope that is a way I can get out there again. Wont know til tomorrow the results of how my foot feels.
Dad isn't doing well. They had to give him blood. He lost a lot afterr they took banages off! My sister said he is in a lot of pain he actually cried ..my daddy ant never cried in front of us. It is braking my heart. I will b with him this timme next week.
Hope u guys are good! Cathy how is your back? Janie I hope ur fibro is noot to bad! U girls are so sweet.
 
Renee I'm very sorry your dad has not been doing as well! It's extremely painful when it's a parent in pain & you can't help very much! Just being there for them & loving them is about all you can do at this time! I think right now you shouldn't worry too much over the sleep eating as it could very well be a stress releaser! If possible, is to plan something to eat before bed & leave it where you can find it during the night!
Great going on your jog & hoping your foot isn't too sore tomorrow!
Prayers & Hugs
Take care,
Cathy
 
Renee: Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that about your dad. Prayers are going up for him & for you! I know how hard it is to see your parent in pain & not doing well. Thankfully, he's in the hospital where they can hopefully get his pain under control. The trauma he's been through is extreme. I know your heart is breaking for him. HUGS! & I think Cathy is spot on about the night eating - making something to eat before you go to bed is a great idea! But, I agree, now is not the time to spaz about it - you're under a great deal of stress & this is the way you deal with it. I've never heard of sleep eating, either! I've definitely heard of sleep walking, so I guess it's along the same lines. I hope your foot is not too sore after your jog yesterday. Keep us posted - & know that we're with you in spirit!
Cathy: Did you get to see the "new" grandbaby? Hope you didn't overdo with the House Max! I didn't do much of that this weekend - I always "have" to do the bathroom, but the dusting was a lick & a promise! DH did the vacuuming, thankfully! Hopefully, I'll be back to a workout soon, but I'm not going to push it.
 
Hello All,
Went to the chiropractor this morning, did groceries & came home & did Ballroom Aerobics & also got my stretches in before the chiropractor!
Saw both of the older grand-daughters plus the wee one yesterday!
They all seem to be doing great right now:)
House Max was vacuuming & DH did the bathroom:D:cool:

Take care & HUGS,
Cathy
 
Jane thanks for the well wishes and prayers I can use them for sure.

Cathy thanks to u as well. Ur workout sounds interesting!

My foot was doing good today! My hands however starrted hurting again. Arthritis is what I was told before ... but they ache wrists and hands. Feel bruised. I still pray it isn't RA. Like I said before they did blood work but I hear that doesn't meean I wont develope it. ??? That's weird to me how does it just develope? . Tired of feeling ...not right... well I didn't work out today becauseof hands I couldn't see me holding weight in my hand.
 
Still no workout for me - I am going to try to do something tonight. I woke up feeling much better today, thank goodness!
Renee: I don't know anything about RA - have you researched it on-line? How's your dad doing today?
Cathy: What is Ballroom Aerobics? That sounds very interesting! I have a couple of the Dancing With the Stars workouts, but I gave up on them - I just didn't have "the moves"! :eek:
Take good care & BIG HUGS!
 
Jane RA is rheumatoid arthritis. Yes iv looked it up. It is auto immune disease that eventually not onnly attack bones. But organs as well. My mother had it.. it was part of why she died. By the ttimee shee past in a matter of three years. Her shoulders was crocked one very. Muuch hight then the other. Her handss got deformed. Her clavical by throat start pushingon her larynax and that it. Made it hhad. To swallow. Made her blow up bloated like a toad. It was sad but plus she had COPD. Tthey usually can detect it by protein in the blood but I was negitiive for it soo far. I wwas happy with that but doctor saidd it doesn't mean anything some can have it but not show up In the blood. Mom was like that and it took allong time to diagnosis her.. she had painful death. I am way to young to be likee that. Hers was fpund finally at age 66. But she was hurting in her hands for a little longer. Annd I guess? That's y I'm concerned my hands hurt a lot and I hope it is just regular arthritis. I try not think about it to much buut that's hard when uu ache every where. Someone said it sounds like I falling apart.. sounded like it was in a smart ellick way. Like maybe I'm nuts. But its not in my head. I work hard and eat healthy most of the time. That I know what I am feeling and I'm trying to bee healthier.

Well I don't know what ill do today yet. Everything is getting stiff so I know I needd to move something lol.
Jane I hope u get in some movement as well lo
Cathy hope u r feeling good today!
Dad is doing ok for now ..he iss heavily medicated...
 
Renee: Thanks for filling me in. I can certainly understand why you're concerned about developing it! How often do they recommend you get checked for it? Once a year? Don't let what that smarty pants said get to you. WE know our own bodies much better than anyone else possibly can!!! & kudos to you for doing what is in your power to do to prevent getting this, because I'm sure that diet plays a huge role in RA. I'm so sorry about your mother. That must have been pure torture for her & for you (to have to watch her go through that!). :( Will be keeping you & your dad in my prayers! HUGS!
 
No workout for me today yet:(

Renee, I have been tested twice in the last 2 years for RA & don't have! Processed food can trigger outbreaks of arthritis & swelling!
Prayers to you Renee & your Dad & family!

Jane, I'm glad you're doing better today! Did you get any sleep last night? Ballroom Aerobics is one of The Firm's re-edits that is step cardio with alternating light weight floor cardio!

Take care & HUGS
Cathy

Like I just started eating fitn lit greek yogurt I love it.. well now I hear yogurt isn't good for you. Also soy and tofu for yrs that was healthy now I heard it wasn't.. confused.. I eat zone bars. Salads, salmon. Chicken breast, egg whites and yogurt and oatmeal oh tomatoes and cottage cheese. I now heard tomatoes cause u to swell? Lol. Wow I get confused! Lol
 
Good afternoon, ladies!
How are you guys doing? I was able to do STS Disk #13, Chest, Shoulders & Triceps yesterday evening. But, before I even got to Triceps, my elbow was hurting! :mad: I'm just going to have to live with it, obviously! I could feel it twinging on chest presses, but side lateral raises just about do me in! :mad: My back still hurts, but nothing like before - I wouldn't want to do any leg work or aerobics yet, so maybe I'll just do yoga tonight. This is for the birds! :p:confused: OK, rant over!!!
Hope you guys are doing better than I am! Renee, how's your foot? How's your dad?
Cathy, how is your neck/back/sleep? Any word yet on DH's X-rays?
Take good care, & BIG HUGS!
 
Jane, Hooray on doing the weight work, great:)
No word on X-rays, but some times no news is good news! I'll have to go & ask! Up til 4:30 am this morning & then slept til about 7:30 am! So about 3 hrs. The heeler had his first encounter with a skunk last night so now he's not allowed in the house!
NO workouts today, it's actually warm here today, suppose to go up to about 95 F! Hope it won't reach that!!

Renee, how's your dad? Are you sleeping & how's your foot?

Take care & Hugs,
Cathy

That is wonderful Jane you got in a weight workout!! I hope you get better fast,, it is irritating i know how you feel, like we are on a roll then bam down again!

Cathy you are right if there is no news about xrays it is good news, and that was a while back right? So if it was anything bad it seems they would have call you both in. I hope you enjoy your rest day!!

I feel asleep at 11 and woke up every hour again. lol But i have to say at 3 i woke up because DH sounded like he was putting a chain saw to my ears!! lol

Oh I did step moves and a premix of kickmax today. I never did that one before so I did step moves first incase I didn't like it kickmax I wouldn't feel bad if I stopped in the middle of it. Well I did fast forward threw some stuff lol. I. Think I'm gonna try the kickbox bootcamp premix I think is what it said. I burn 770 some calories from both of them sm was 320 km was 450 for 50 minutes. That tells you I fast forwarded a lot. Lol.

Dad is getting antsee at hospital now and cranky... he can not hear at all hardly, the doc is foreign so accent is heavy.. dad does not know the meaning of a lot of words either..(he has a 4 grade education). So if they tell him stuff he has no clue what they are saying. So he gets mad.. I told them to use plan words, loud and sometimes u have to get up close to his ear.
He called my sister who was down stairs to come back up there...they had him naked to take a bath and left him sitting there naked! He was waiting on them to bath him so my sis had to run up there amd cover him. He said he dozed off and dreamed two times waiting on them! Poor little man!
 
Good afternoon, ladies!
Took a rest day yesterday (I know, I know - I just rested a whole week! LOL). Did not feel up to it, so I listened to my body. My lower back still feels stoved - don't understand why it's hanging on so long.
Renee: It must be hard on your dad - what with all that added stress of trying to understand a heavy accent & being hard of hearing. :( & it's hard being in a bed all day! Are they giving him any physical therapy? Are you going to visit him this weekend? I'm sorry you're not sleeping very well. I've been waking up multiple times during the night, too. I thought it was because my alarm clock was broken & I was nervous about not waking up on time, but I had my new alarm clock last night, & did the same thing any way.
Cathy: Wow! 95! Did it get that hot? Oh, my - skunk! :eek: It will be a long time before he gets back in the house! LOL Even tomato juice baths don't work. I wonder why none of us is sleeping? I think if we could just get a few nights in a row under our belts, we'd break the pattern. How are the chiropractor visits going & the PT? Is the work in your garden winding down?
Take good care, & BIG HUGS!
 
Oh gawd Jane I totally forgot the skunk story! Lol that is funny... I bet the poor thing didn't know what just happened! Lol

Well my DH said something to me as well about working out. Some days I'm to tired but I push threw cause I'm afraid ill get out of habit. But he said renee sometimes u just might need a week to recoup.. he may be right. I hurt to much n hands n feet so I may make this weekend part of a rest weekend when I go see daddy. So ill b right there with you Jane taking a week off! Lol

Man I am at work but bored. I still didn't sleep well. Maybe its r age? How old r u guys again? I'm 42 b 43 next week. Lol not sure what I'm doing for workout today. We will see.
 
Good Morning Ladies,
Yesterday was peas & beans again! DS took home half what I picked & fortunately I didn't have to freeze anything(would have finished around 10 p.m.)
Today is chiropractor, & I don't see the physical therapist til after the surgeon! We have to move equipment today so I don't know if I'll get a workout in!

Renee: That's terrible they left your dad sitting there! I don't understand why they do that!

Jane: Is your back problem a flare up from a previous injury?
I hope it gets better soon!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Take care & HUGS,
Cathy

Sorry but just wanted to vent.. I have not got to read all post. When I get home ill look better. I just needed to say... I hate seeing dad like that, he looked like so little and sad when I left. He said he understands I have family and jobs. But my goodness he means just as much.
I tried to go jogging yesterday at my sisters apt complex. It started raining all day I jogged anyway about 25 min then lighting started ...then I stopped. I know they all look at me like I was crazy but whatever I was smiling lol. None of them exercise and all they do is sit and smoke whatever all day! Lol. So yeah it was kinda funny. I have more to say. So when I get home ill tell u more. Lol
 
Well I'm home now. I tried to do a christy Taylor workout yesterday but my ankle felt like the tendons were getting hooked? If snapped so confused. It same foot with pf on it. So confused I am falling apart dang it! .. I only went jogging on sat and that was only for 24 minutes it was raining at my sisters apt. But I ran anyway. I did until it started lighting lol. I had taken my lic box set in case I could exercise. But one her living room is tiny. Two this is one of the sisters that claim I "had gotten to skinny... that was years ago. She has always been little. She use to make comments about how I eat then saying gawd I can't eat fat free I eat what I want. It's only about how much u eat. And you exercise way to much. U look anorexic.." I did get little. But I sware they were all negitive like non of them wanted me to lose. Well so i don't do it in front of her much now. But since I've gained 40 pounds since then and she don't say to much about me being to skinny BUT she saw my bra an made a comment about " what a big bra" wow. Thanks is what I said.
When I gain I do get big boobs and I hate it! Oh well.. then she did try to say how SHE eats and said she eats in middle of night to. She eats pizza rolls all the time Grrr she is only 100 pounds if that! I had always been proud of my sisters when I was little, but as I grew up away from them and finally came around them I realize they arnt the same as I was. They are kind of mean to each other..lol. I think they don't mean to b at times but they are so jealous of each other.
I am not really, or i wasnt till they make you feel i dont even know how i feel really. I just hate it that I feel like they do not want to see me healthy. Or I was even told by another one of them when I lost weight " why r guys hitting on u now and not me" and she said" I get sick of people telling me you look like a Barbie doll." Its like it is always a compitition adn it should not be this way. I hate we can't be close.
My dad however, ALSO told me that my muscles was getting big! I know it wasn't a compliment he means fat I think becasue he does not know what else to say to people i mean i have a niece who is 90# and he calls her fat . But my sister says he tells everyone there getting fat. Even her. I dont know very confused so I try to listen to my inner voice and stop listening to others. That's how I started eating wrong again. I wanted my sisters to stop acting like I made them mad when I wouldn't eat there food or I moved around a lot. I fidgetted a lot then to lol. Tehy would roll there eays lol
Well my Dh thinks I am shaping up, I think cause yesterday he said so every body tell u that u r looking good? I told him no, they didn't say nothing. I was to embarrassed to tell the truth. He said well I don't know y they didn't you are looking hard everywhere and very shaply. Said I do look like I'm getting muscles. I just don't know if that's good or code for big! Arrr.

Ill have to post a pic and get ur opinions. Hey I do have one in my pics on here I was in front of a mirror. But I don't see how 149 pounds and 5 1 and a half is good. I think I look like the guy on king of queens ! Enough of that. I'm just frustrated sorry for venting lol.
My poor dad went home yesterday after I left. I don't think they should have let him go. When I left yesterday he gave me a look like he was starring at me as if it may b the last time. It sure broke my heart. I love that man. Even though I didn't get to b raised with him I still love him I got to b with him til ij was 7 but I still knew him on and off all my life. I always felted sorry for daddy. It broke my heart cause he was always so alone.

Cathy i love love beans!! I could eat beans forever however DH has to have meat he thinks and not only that he already thinks im to gassy lol.. well i am but lol How did your chiroprator apt go? Felt any better? I hope so !!

Janie how are you doing? I know you wasnt feeling to good last time you posted!!
 
Hello All,
Today was cardio outside:) So happy about that!

Renee: Does your dad have help at home? Is he doing better?
When you wrote "your husband says you're shapely" it brought a big smile to me! I think you should ignore every one & give your DH a extra big "kiss" for that remark!
Sometimes I think people are jealous & it's unfortunate a lot of the time it's family! So ignore them! Getting muscles is good as they burn more calories!:)
Great on the Christi & which one was it?
We had green, yellow, & purple beans this year! We love beans here too!
You can vent anytime & however long you want!;)

Jane: Missing you:( & hope your weekend is going well & your back is feeling better!:)

Take care & Hugs,
Cathy
