I would get a pancreas that works. Diabetes causes so many other problems as I get older. A transplant is possible but not at my age.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Have you ever tried meditating? There is a youtube channel that my husband and I listen to when we go to bed it is called Lovemotives Healing Music. Very soothing and puts your mind in a good space.

Trish, good to hear that your Mom is adjusting well.

Mornin' All!
I really need to get back into this - have been eating too much lately and I need to get back control. I was hoping I'd get a metabolism boost after my hip replacement surgery (seven weeks ago), and I probably did, but between inactivity the first three or so weeks, and too many calories given the inactivity, I did not lose any weight. Boo. (at least I didn't gain, but still, I should have taken advantage of the boost!)
I think I was still regularly posting back in January when we moved my mom into assisted living. She loves the place, thankfully. Loves the apartment, has a group of friends she regularly eats with, and they have tons of activities, and she goes to lots of them! Whew. Such a relief. I'm going over there later this morning to give her a pill (she's really bad with dates and time, so when she gets some prescription, I or someone on the nursing staff really needs to administer it. If it's just for a day or two (like this one), I normally do it since she lives pretty close to me). Then I'm taking her to a doctor's appt this afternoon - and another one tomorrow. They do have a driver at her place who can take them to appts, but her memory isn't the best and she often can't answer questions the doctor asks - or she gives them wrong information. So it's better if I take her and go into the exam room with her.
QOTD: well, I've had a ton of plastic surgery, but I never had my thighs done because they're not awful, and unless I'm in a swimsuit (water fitness classes are my primary exercise in the winter), no one would notice - but I don't like looking at them. At one time I would have added my right hip, but the surgeon fixed it!
B: Greek yogurt with diced mango, toast on whole grain/seed bread with light butter and jam
L: I'll probably have lunch at my mom's place or we'll stop somewhere on our way to the doctor's office
D: either a protein bowl (lentils, sweet potatoes, 1/4 an avocado, cottage cheese, hot honey) or a tuna/chickpea salad sandwich with salad or fruit
I usually have snacks (unfortunately..that is my downfall - esp late afternoon), but I won't be home for that today. Might take a protein bar with me so I don't maw at dinner (or else eat a bigger than normal lunch so I won't be hungry until dinner time...)
have a great day, everyone!

Today's a rough one. Not gonna sugarcoat it -- I'm having a bad mental health day.
But I'm still showing up for myself, one meal and one breath at a time.
ð?¥' Breakfast: Spicy Southwest Avocado Toast
?? Lunch: Chipotle Turkey Bowl
? Dinner: Pineapple-Jalapeño Smoothie -- sweet, spicy, and soothing
? QOTD:
If I could self-heal one part of my body, it would be my mind.
Because peace up there makes everything else possible.
Allergies are one thing I do not like at Springtime and being allergic to everything outside really makes it tough to get things done. So I stock up on Benadryl.

Good morning, everybody!
Back from swimming. Today we got shopping bags with our team outfit orders in them. I ordered a cycling kit. I haven't tried it on yet, but did try on the sample in February. Anyways, the back and forth to my locker caused me to have to cut my swim short. I ended up with just under 1200 meters.
We did a burner yesterday! 5 minutes - 50 burpees and then as many calories as possible on the assault bike. 5 minute workout, how hard can it be, right? Actually pretty hard. I did get through all of my burpees and made 6 calories on the bike. I was pleased with that, kind of went unbroken on the burpees.
Work from home Wednesday, I need to call Marilyn go to CrossFit and we have Happy Hour tonight. I'm on vacation next week, so 3 more days.
QOTD: I guess my pancreas.
Breakfast: bagel
lunch: Roast beef
dinner: chili
Have a great day, all!

Good mornin y'all.
not a lot to do today but some. I have to take something back to a store. Brought it home and it was an empty box. Can't stand thief's. So that annoyed me heavily yesterday. I just hope they'll believe me. We have a few other errands to do but nothing big.
Feeling pretty rough this morning. I think it has a lot to do with the weather. We''ve been chillier than usual and lots of rain. Over 3 inches in 3 days. The Canadian River to the north of is is at flood stage. It's crazy and only happens very rarely. It should help our lakes!
QOTD: my spine. Definitely my spine. Second would be my shoulder.
B: homemade breakfast sandwich. English muffin, gouda, egg and beef bacon. So good. Plus coffee
L: salad with diced chicken and light ranch dressing.
D: haven't decided on this one yet.
