Anyone ready to ring in the new year...and lose weight/get fit?

I am feeling a bit better today but - still not 100%
Found baby abandoned mice in the chicken feed store this morning! They were only born and sadly all blue and cold but the smallest wee things as small as your thumb nail. I lifted them and when they warmed two of them started to cry. I put them back in the feed store tub under some hay with a heat pad under them just incase their Mom changes her mind and comes back - I don;t think she will but hay where there is life there is hope I guess. Really sad but wondreful to get the rare oportunity to hold and look at such tiny creatures we don't often get a chance to see up close. I know they have my scent on them now which is sad cause I thought they were all dead. - But I have been lifting their mum out of the feed store tub every morning so she is kind of used to my smell. I have no idea why she decided to leave me her 5 babies??? Anyhow she didn;t make them warm so I guess its her first litter and she got freaked.

Better go anyhow i will know by tomorrow if she has come back

Oesdog, I feel like I've been run over by a boat that came flying out of the water full speed at me!

Catnip tea everyone. And raspberry leaf and/or lemon balm. Helps with that "run over" feeling. Warm, slightly sweet, and no calorie. And good for cramps and bloating.

Ohhhhh you poor thing

See that boat of yours I think I have all the water its on in my stomach cause I am running to the loo every 5 mins and it is really annoying me now. I am peeing so much I am so sore!!!!! I guess this bloated balloon is deflating probably why I felt a bit better today - haven;t started yet ! Isn;t that terrible to feel all this and it hasn;t even actually began yet! I say I have one bad week before , one bad week of and one bad week recovering so I am actually only semi normal for one week a month!!!

Annaraven thanks for all your love and care to us !!!!!!

Every month I feel like I'm giving birth again! LOL

But this morning, after having been sick for like 2 months with this never ending cough, my body aches unbelievably. I feel like I could curl up on the couch and die, if I didn't have so much work to do today.

I will make myself some tea, but I only have chai & green tea here right now. It will have to do.

I can relate to that. My stomach has started to cramp up and my back is really sore!! Think I will have an early night and get a hot water bottle out!
I know what your saying about feeling like your going to give birth - I get the most awful pains right up me everytime I sit down!!!!!!
Oh we are a terrible lot this week arn't we. Isn;t it funny how were all comming on at the same time!

I am hoping good diet and excersize and a better body weight might help us all longterm????

I think I have a few years of torment and torture to go yet? DH got me a hot water bottle. I just bleed so bad and it gets worse every year so I can;t wait until it stops!!!!
Sometimes I am terrified to go out for a few days!!! But at least I know it will pass eventually!!

Mahonri - how are you losing soooo fast???? I went down from 12 stone to 10.2 then went up again to 10.10 so now I am trying to get back on track! I found I got to a certain point and then I just stoped losing weight and nothing I did changed that? Then I just let it creep back on - this time I really want to see myself get down to at least 9 stone - something I would even take 9 . 13 lb I am small so every lb shows!!!!

Oesdog - Here is a pic of my grand daughter Jessica.

Ohhhhh - too sweet. You grandmas are really making me envious!

Keep it up everyone. We're doing good. Mindfulness is half the battle. And, for those of you with Aunt Flo visiting, take a couple days off exercise and just baby yourself. You'll be ready to go after.
