What a cutie she is. I'm guessing she's just as bouncy and mischevious as she looks.
Is her apricot coming out more as she gets older or is it just the light?
I feel absolutely invisible today. I swear it seems like nobody is even listening to me!
I think maybe I need to just chill out the rest of the day. Had a hectic weekend, as my Dad fell Friday night. So, in addition to all of the problems with my mom, I've now got my dad falling. When it rains......
I'm here....planning on getting back to it this weekend. It's just been a really stressful week, including another trip to the ER. I've just got my hands pretty full taking care of two parents who can't take care of themselves and refuse in-home help. Another BIG talk is planned for tomorrow with my dad because my sister and I just can't go on like this much longer.
Anyway, am excited to get back to the gym and back on track PERIOD. I just want normal, and being on track with my eating and my workouts always make me feel more in control of my life. Not sure what that says about me, but it is what it is and I need SOME control because I sure don't have it anywhere else!
I'm sorry you're living through such tough times. I'm sure many here can relate about being able to control something.
What makes your parents so stubborn about getting help from outsiders? Fear of theft or being embarassed?

Feel ya on this one-my mom is so convinced everyone is stealing from her including us kids. This situation is tough and I understand now why there is geriatric parenting classes.
When my mother-in-law who had Alzheimer's Disease lived with us, I learned so much about myself. One of the first things that I learned was that I actually was a control person; I would have denied it before. Hope things get back under "control".

Sorry things have been so tough with your parents... good luck on talking to them again... It's so hard for many people to give up control or admit that they're at the point where they need help.
Today starts my "NO MORE FUCKING AROUND" challenge. Feel free to join me. That's right, this is a down and dirty challenge. No messing around. No "I maintaned, oh ay" for the month. No one pound a month crap. This is hard core. Time for complete focus and dedication. My rules for me:
-- Starts today thru the end of the year
-- Low cal/low carb 5 days a week. Carb-up on two days, last meal of day.
-- NO cheating except for Thanksgiving and Christmas
-- NO missed workouts (4 times a week)
No more fucking around. No more spinning wheels. This is it.
