Hello all! :huggs: I think I am ready to get down to business again. It's coming up on a year in December since my mom passed away. I have been through hell and Im finding my way back. According to the scale at the doctors office, I am weighing at 164. Up 4 pounds :( Well I expected that since all Ive done is go thorugh depression and avoid exercise like the plague! My eating has still been pretty good and that is why I think I did not gain more than that. So my goal this week is to walk or get on my glider for 20 min everyday! If Im really feeling good then I can throw in some ball exercises as well but Im going to start back out small so I don't overwhelm myself. Good to see you all!

Luv ya,

Kat

We missed you Kat!! Welcome Back!! :huggs: :huggs: :huggs:

Good luck with your exercise! :cheer:

welcome back to the forum!

don't worry about the small gain, it will be gone again in no time :huggs:

Welcome back Kat...it's so nice to see you again! :huggs:

Hello Kat :wave: and welcome back to F4L! :clap: YOU CAN DO IT!

Welcome back Kat. Sounds like you have a great new plan! I think your mom would be very proud of you! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

UGG! I have not done a dang thing. My bladder has been acting up. I have what they call Interstitial cystitis (Chronic irritation of the bladder) It comes and goes but I had a real bad bout of it the last couple days and was in too much pain to do anything but lay around. Today Im doing alot better but I have a ton of chores/errands to get done so I probably won't get to my exercises till tomorrow. So I'll check in with ya'll tomorrow:) Hugs to all! :huggs:
Kat

that sounds terribly painful kat :huggs:

i'm glad you are feeling better :huggs:

I hope you feel better soon kat!!! :huggs:

thanks girls:) Ya it is painful. Im having another bout right now :( Luckily my hubby had some leftover pain meds from his tooth pull and it is helping. I made an appointment with my urologist but can't get in till next month. IC causes raw irritated sores and wounds in the bladder and makes you feel alot of pressure and burning. Not to mention having to pee 50 times a day! Mine doesn't usually act up so Im a bit concerned considering I eat very healthy and drink mainly water. Anyway Im just gonna keep on keeping on and not let it get me down:) Hugs to you all....

Oh my goodness that sounds so painful! I hope things get better for you very soon! :huggs:

Well I have to change my goal for the next few day's atleast. Im still having too much pain to exercise. I did go on a 15 min walk with my kids the other day but I really hurt by the time we got back. So my new goal is to just really pay attention to my food portions and drink atleast 2 liters of water a day.

Good for you for listening to your body Kat! :clap:

Afterall diet is 90% of it anyways. Go Kat Go!! :cheer: :cheer:

Thanks Jaxx. I don't feel too much like a lazy bum :lol:

Well Ive done well with my diet except for today. We had the kids fall costume party at my place today and I ate chips and crackers with hummus. Way too much of it might I add!
