I feel ok. Still upset but glad its over. I miss her and mad at myself for not doing it sooner but the peace is slowly settling in. I can look at her pictures and smile with tears. I have some I took a few hours before I let her go. She didn't look sick to me but I could see it in her eyes that she was telling me mom I am ready to go to the Bridge. Then a few tears. I am tired all the time and slept ok last night. 10 to 4:45 which is amazing for me. I usually wake up every 2 hours. I have my appetite back so I need to be careful. I packed my sneakers in my gym bag today and I plan on walking a mile on the treadmill after work. Tonight is free food at the gym so I will have a treat and then do some slow exercise. I wont be doing any marathons just enough to work back into it. I really miss working out. but just don't have the energy.
How are you doing this morning, Foxxycat?
Columbine, I'm sorry. I hope you feel better.
3.5 miles on the treadmill this morning.
I walked 107.25 miles in July.
I know, it is really lot of walkingThat mileage is not from my Fitbit, JTbo; my Fitbit has me logged on for way more miles than that. That mileage is strictly from my treadmill. Anything from my Fitbit is over and above that 107.25 miles. So that doesn't include any housework, any gardening, any walking at the grocery store, at the mall, or any other form of exercise. That is strictly the treadmill.
I am working on getting 10,000,000 steps....that's from my Fitbit.
You have to take care of yourself right now....you owe yourself that. After doing everything you could for Floey, it's time to do something for you.

I will be kind to myself this week.
We leave for vaca on aug 14 and so much for planning on dropping the weight. this is the first summer in 5 years that I am still in a size 14 but what are you going to do? I am going to put on my swim suit and get in the water and to heck with the people who frown down on not so perfect bodies. I am going to raise my chin and dare anyone to say anything rude to me. I may be fat but I still can lift fairly heavy. So I keep reminding myself that muscles weigh more than fat and stop comparing myself to the perfect people we see daily on the tv and out in real life.
So maybe I will try dancing at lunchtime. Now that I am eating maybe I wont get dizzy spells or whatnot.
Oh, good for you! Was it free standing or against a wall? I can get up there but my arms aren't strong enough for me to balance so I have to do them against a wall.Yesterday I did shoulders, biceps and triceps and then I went for a 10 min jog. I also did a handstandI demonstrate to kids how to do them and I usually get 1/4 ish of the way up but this time one went straight up!!! I suppose that's really not a handstand but I'm taking it. I'm 44 so I'm taking that
ok I just ran as fast as I could for the song Maniac. its 4 minutes long. I ran as hard and as fast as I could. does this count? I have soaked my face and shirt is damp. Wish I could do this for a straight 20 minutes. That's my goal some day. Run as fast and hard as I can for 20 minutes.
