Cantoo -
quick before Mick comes back -
how are you getting on on the Paleo diet ? I have 2 books I am working my way through at present.

I am also building up the Weight Training - been at it a few months - but I was in bad shape up to then & still drinking so was wasting my time really.

Back in gym at 7 am tomorrow and going to go for it !!!

Satz, I'm still doing more cardio based exercise. Bootcamp is good for a whole body workout but I'm seeing where my weaknesses are. Must get back to the gym partner for weights!

I'm was skimming the book I have last night and you know what? It's how I used to eat when I was in shape. Now I'm coming at it from the other end hoping to gain the energy and motivation to get back to the weights.

Satz you're kicking my butt getting to the gym for 7:00 am.

I must say I'm so pleasantly surprised by Dr Oz, he really blew me away yesterday. On his show he officially recommends the 'full fat'' version of everything! dairy, milk, cheese, yoghurt, real butter etc etc. he says low/non fat foods make it HARDER to lose weight and maintain satiety. I'm so freaking impressed! he's very brave to speak the truth from his very public perch. my hat's off to him.

Funny isn't, back when I got fit and lean the ONLY thing I curbed was grains, never ate low fat anything(still don't) and weight FELL off!

Good late afternoon Abbers!

I have been sitting in the ER all freaking day with my estranged spouse YB.
He had the nerve to show up at 7:30 this morning c/o severe abdominal pain. Why do they always return home when things get a little tough?
He has had a lot of testing & will probably be kept overnight for observation. It's looking like a gall bladder problem. Lucky me, huh?
I had to cancel my plans to watch the grandsons, sent my DIL scrambling looking for someone else. Glad I remembered to grab my iPad on the way out the door this morning

Mick, are you part owl? Hunting & foraging for food under the cover of darkness? :H

Wishing everyone a much better Hump day than I'm having!

YB is completely into full fat everything judging by his waistline :H :H
He has been scheduled to have his gall bladder removed early tomorrow afternoon & will be discharged later in th eday. Looks like he will need nurse Lav for a day or two - I'll be nice :H :H

You are part owl Mick - I knew that

Hello....

Nice to see everyone that is posting. I always gain so much from it. However, I never feel like I have much to add.

Mick....what I meant....I was told I was going to have to change everything. My friends and places that I went to. I personally love each and every friend I have. I also.....really loved hanging out at the "honky tonks". Sober times would get very dark for me....when I isolated myself from the things I loved. I always fetl, like a hermit....and it sucked. This time around I am not doing that to myself. I can do everything I used to do.....I just don't drink anymore. Some moments are tough....but, they are moments.

Kuya....when my kids were 4 they were nice to sleep with. Not so much anymore. I kick them out of my bed more now that I am sober....because Mom NEEDS her sleep

And sleep I did today....it was cloudy....after a great day of sleep I have cleaned my butt off. With kids its is never done....I am thinking I may just stop all the cleaning....and call "Hoarders" when they turn 18

I still go to a few meetings every week. I like my group. But, my saving grace is getting back into working out.....and taking supplements everyday.

Sunflower, I often feel that I don't have much to add either. Yet, I really enjoyed reading your post. I'm glad you are going in for the exercise; you say it helps you a lot. Hang in there while you are learning how to stay abs while others are drinking. Many people do learn how to do that.

Mick, we will someday figure out what you're up to in the wee hours....

Hang in there, Lav. You are a better woman than I.

Thanks YAH. I guess seeing us live each day.....is worth something.

I have hard times, but I don't think they are worth posting. The reason I waver here.....is because someone outright attacked me. This person creeped me out....as she said her and her husband read each of my posts....and sit back and laugh at me.

I have no intention of expanding on it.....but, its scary. Not sure how long I will be her morning entertainment. It just showed me that you can be many months sober.....and still be very sick.

That is why I don't count days....because the number of days mean nothing. It is how "well" you are getting.

And I feel well. I am not perfect. But, I feel like I am realizing how little people actually drink.

Aloha All. Back for some contact with old and new friends. I will always be last to post because it is still my Wednesday and I feel like it's cheating to jump ahead into your Thursday. Glad to see everyone's sincereness and honesty. I'll be around. I'm sure you know why.
