I 100% agree with this. We don't know people's struggles or dietary needs.    For me, I struggle with binge eating and eating too much sugar, to the detriment of my health, so I've enlisted the help of my room mate to help keep me accountable. They're kind of like my sponsor, LOL! But I'm working on eating with no judgment towards myself and remembering that food has no moral value. 

So, I decided that for the little stuff I would be putting it all on my grey sketchpad and 2 per page. Unfortunately, that means you guys are getting pictures of my sketchbook instead of scans - which is NBD.  The picture is actually much smaller than this but I have no sense of scale, LOL!   DAY 01: Backpack Ink, white gel pen, silver gel pen Grey sketch paper

Dad went home today. Hopefully I can get over this illness, recover, and make a new plan. Might take a few days off for non-improvement, though. Need to reflect on what it means to get better now I'm coming to the end of my belief in healthy lifestyle changes. 

It has been a bit. I am not quite ready to do my own challenge, but I wanted to at least say Hi to my friends.   So hows things?

Hi   It sounds like things have been busy for you. I just wanted to pop in and Say Hi.   I totally understand the "been thinking of people without being able to put words together." That is a common state at the moment.   I hope things settle for you a bit.

Neck does seem to be on the mend. She told me today that she requested Friday off because she wants to take a ride out of town for the weekend...no mention of "will you take care of the dog for me?" The last minute BS because she doesn't think I'm going anywhere is not going to work for me. I think I need to send her back to school. Overcoming codependency is proving to be quite the challenge...   I love  you too, and appreciate your faith in me  ❤️   

This is likely true.       I did get a walk yesterday, but just realized when I sprung awake at 3.30a that I was also supposed to lift yesterday. Oh well. 7/22   Sewing project has turned from 'Wow, this isn't quite working how I thought" to "How much of this can I salvage or do I have to scrap the whole thing and start over?" Racing thoughts about this as well as regret/guilt that I'm letting hubs down by not getting this done in time for a thing we're doing this weekend is a large part of why I was awake so early. I have some theories on what went wrong and strategies to have it turn out better if I do start over, but it has been a LOT of effort to this point. I don't want to try to chase a problem that isn't fixable and wind up with something second-rate, but given the stage of the project and the amount of seam finishing I'd done and curves I'd clipped to get to this point, trying to salvage many parts or pieces might be a very difficult task. Sigh.

Great to see you focusing on a solid warm-up routine! Those exercises you mentioned are fantastic for getting the blood flowing and preparing your muscles. Here are a few additional warm-up exercises you might find effective: Dynamic Stretching: Incorporate movements like leg swings and torso twists to increase mobility and flexibility. High Knees: This exercise helps elevate your heart rate while engaging your core and legs. Arm Crosses: Swing your arms across your chest and then open them wide to warm up your shoulders. Lunges with a Twist: Step forward into a lunge, then twist your torso toward the front leg. This activates your legs, hips, and core. Jumping Jacks: A classic move that gets your whole body warmed up and your heart rate up! Always remember to listen to your body and adjust your routine as needed. Happy working out!
