50 and over week of April 11 check in

[Jann]

Joan and Magnolia good luck with those diets. Joan darn weights. I hope you get payback and show them when your shoulder feels better.

I can't seem to stop eating comfort food in every form. I am going to get acupuncture tonight to see if she can help get my mind and body back in rhythm. I seem to be stuck in a very bad place. I am so tired and just want to sleep most days. I am positive it's menopause in combination with all that is happening. My emotions are all over the place. Hopefully this will help.

Linda prayers for you and your mom. Stay safe. [[[Linda]]]

(((((Linda and Jann))))) I can't help with the comfort eating because I have done it also. Unfortunately it does seem to provide comfort. I'm happy right now I'm ready for healthy eating. I know I really do feel better when eating right. Maybe you will be ready in a week or two without doing too much damage. I will start yelling at you then.

Finally got wo in. It was 50 min on treadmill and 16 min using wii.

I have downloaded 9 of the shock cardio so far. I only tried the first one but it seems to work. It was much easier than I expected after reading some of the comments in the download forum. I can't believe anyone knows less about a computer than me but pressing save is pretty easy.

I went to Kohls today to get a couple of new tops. I still don't want to buy much until I lose weight. I can't believe I didn't realize how much fatter I had gotten. It's not the scale but everything has expanded and shifted. I need to have full length mirrors in every room. From the shoulders up I don't think I look any different. The apple shape has become a watermellon shape.

Hi, everyone.

Don't know if I will get a workout in today--maybe a short one. We are singing for First Communions, and the church provides lunch. YIKES! Hate to sound like an ingrate, but I know exactly what they will have. Let's put it this way--if it's anything like last year, there won't be anything I can eat, and we'll be singing for two groups of First Communions, so won't finish until around 3 this afternoon. I keep telling myself that I have to learn to deal with these challenges. Let's pray for each other.

Joan, you will have success. I can "hear" in your posts that you're ready, just like I am. Same goes for you, Jann. And yes, menopause was the culprit in my case, so I know exactly what you're saying. There was a while there when I couldn't even walk around the block without being so tired I needed a nap. Hope the acupuncture works for you.

Linda, you have enough going on right now. Just take care of yourself as best you can. I am praying for you and your family in this tough time.

Hi, Beth & Cathy. Hope you are well.

Have a great day, everyone!
