I went to the gym and discovered that my ab muscles are so weak I can't even use the crunch machine. I have to strengthen them before I even get to that point. So I bought myself an exercise ball to use as a computer seat. It's a challenge to sit on, but I'm not sure yet what it's going to do for my abs.

Just feeling lousy today. This liver won't get any better but only worse. But who cares anyhow.

[LucyD]

Was in a crappy mood when I posted earlier. Having a hard time dealing with my liver diagnosis. I have been for quite awhile. Can't stop thinking about it. Maybe I'll binge watch a series to get my mind off of it.

Slept very well last night..think I needed it. We are going to have a warmer day today and then tomorrow, too. Should be nice..getting tired of Winter. Had oatmeal for breakfast. I always have a hard time getting myself to eat that even though it is so good for my conditions.

I hope you all have a good day.

on sunday I ate some out of date chicken so ended up with a really bad stomach ache (and other side affects too) for days

well, I say days, I think it was about wednesday afternoon when I started feeling better

and of course I can't sleep, so recovery was extra slow, because I didn't have the rest

that aside, honestly no idea what i'm doing or where i'm going in life, complete standstill

I ate some out of date food too the other day. My stomach went wild. I hope you can get some good sleep. You aren't the only one who doesn't know where they are going in life--I don't either and am just taking each day as it comes and trying to get through it as I can.

Chillin is good! I do it a lot. I'm doing laundry as I write. It's so nice to have clean things to wear and the fresh laundered smell. I've never had marmite but hear lots of people love it. I've never seen it here at the grocer's. I hope your back will get better. Back pain sucks..

marmite is one of those things.. you love it or hate it

I have to share this:

their's a comercial going around at the moment, where a family get a letter through the door telling them that congratulations, you are all marmite lovers

and then the kid comes in and screams I hate it

and mother says to the father.. he's never even tried it

bit of afternoon humour

almost time for me to eat hotdogs

One of my meds was increased and another one added. I'm a little concerned about gaining weight from them. I'm trying to eat healthy most of the time. Drinking more water too. Really need to get out and start taking walks since it's nice outside

I hope the dosage helps you. I'm with you on taking walks. Spring is almost here and the weather is changing. I hope I can take longer walks soon.

Thanks. I made the edits to it on Lunapic.

I agree spring is coming

first though we are meant to have one more artic blast of snow

was reading that the next storm should be with us soon

not good for theme park goers and the first day of the UK theme park season (today)

I just hope I manage to avoid wasps/ bees this year.

I'm alergic to the stings, last year I came close many times to being stung

Hi. Will write more later...

irked because it took me so long to log in today

this notification thing is causing me quite a bit of grief, hoping that soon they will get a way to turn it off

well a little cold and rainy, but I love going out in the dark.

magical for some reason

Dr. Pepper is so good. I had some diet dr. pepper yesterday. I like night time but don't go out much after it gets dark.

Hi I haven't posted here in a while. I hope everyone is doing well!
The past few months have been pretty intense for me. I've been going through a lot of changes and dealing with lots of stress. (Most of these changes are positive, but it's taking me time to get used to them).
I've been overeating almost everyday... I usually eat well during the day, but in the evening I tend to feel more anxious and end up turning to food for comfort.
I don't really "binge" anymore though.

I've been struggling with body dysmorphia and intrusive thoughts (the weirdest part is that I lost a few kilos. I was convinced I had gained).
I think a part of me is unconsciously trying to sabotage all the progress I've done because I feel scared and out of control... At least I'm able to identify my triggers and where they come from, I guess. I'm gonna try to keep working on that and not focus too much on my weight.
I probably won't be very active on this thread in a while because I'm at a point where I get easily triggered... but I'll be back when I feel more stable.
Take care everyone

it is lovely to here from you, and I am sure you are trying your best (like we all are) to see the desired results and get the desired reaction

we are always here when ever you need to post

I hope I will be okay tonight.

the lamb I ate for dinner smelled a little weird (I don't think off, I don't really know)

currently I feel a little hot, but not ill

Bad at checking in lately...been running too much. Last week was Spring Break, so my daughter & H were home (H is a university professor).

Just as I'm needing a break from Spring Break, my daughter's district cancelled school today due to a chemical tank fire in a nearby town. Since they've got 7 tanks on fire now (was 2 yesterday), NAPTHA, xylene and now God knows what else burning; they've probably just got to let it burn out at this point. It started yesterday, and that town just got their shelter-in-place lifted. We never had one though we were near the border of it. Spent the day with my sister, nieces, and BIL who are farther away, but we came home last night as we had nothing to spend the night with us, and my sister doesn't really have a huge house and 2 of my nieces are in school. At least the wind is blowing the smoke and fumes away from us. Another day home with a bored pre-teen girl...sigh.

At least no one was hurt, but I'm antsy as I promised H I would not go jogging. The air quality here is always iffy (it's a chemical/industrial area), but now probably worse. ED is screaming at me though

You always will be welcome here. I know what you mean about being triggered at times. I get that way too. I wish you well and will see you sometime.
