VSG Maintenance Group
Dropping in to say Hi!
Good evening everyone!
First off to all my Candian Friends on here Happy Thanksgiving - I hope you have a grateful weekend!
I just wanted to drop in and say Hi and let you all know, I'm doing ok! Not back to myself yet but then again I probably will never be the same. It has been six months now since my hubby died suddenly. I am in a Griefshare Group and that is helping.
I have not been following a food plan or exercising regularly. But I have never stopped logging everything I put into my mouth, so that has helped me I think to still be mindful to some degree. I am not stepping on a scale, likely for this full year. I just have to much other stuff to process and deal with. My clothes are fitting a little tighter but nothing drastic. I do exercise just not the way I used to, most of the time I'm to exhausted to do it. But I will walk and run when I can. Most times I run at least once a week, some weeks I'm great and do it 3 or 4 times.
I have resolved myself to the fact that I need to look after my emotional health right now and work through stuff and that will also help with the food.
I hope you are all well and Big hugs to you all. Lorna
