After dinner tonight of pizza, Had real cravings tonight. Hubby saved me by reminding me that our friend paul who goes AF every lent to prove to himself that he is not an alcoholic, he would not be happy for me. So we did not go to whole foods for the beer that I wanted. Not today....maybe in 2 weeks at easter..

I'm glad that you got a manicure and your nails look nice! But I can't believe you were wearing makeup!
When you feel good, you want to look good, so does that mean you feel good?

I'm glad they allowed you to return the products you were allergic/sesntive to- that's what they should do. I use Neutrogena liquid eye makeup remover, which works very well, and doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin or eyes.

I'm so glad that Jeff reminded you that Paul gives up alcohol for Lent too, and that stopped you from heading to Whole Foods for a beer

You can make it to Easter (or beyond if you want to)

Did you go to the NAMI meeting, and if you did, how did it go?

Even if you start to drink again. I hope you can start to find
a way to slow down on the amount. I know its been a problem
with you. I've got to start slowing down on the amount of
diet coke again too. I over did it for both my birthday and
the small vacation I took. But I'm back to the tea and the water.

I didn't stop the water though. I twas just hard to get the unsweetened
tea. I like sweetened tea when we are in restaurants so I did do
that. But its not really good for me. But I did do the unsweetened once or
twice.

And since I don't like Pepsi I only had one Pepsi at the inservice on
Friday and didn't drink but part of it. THen had tea and sweetener.

So I was good there. And had tea and one Diet coke the day before.

Thanks kay.
I did not make it to the meeting due to not wanting to deal with the rain.
Lame excuse I know....
My nose is healing quite well. just redness and some little bit of peeling from the benzolperoxide use.
Now I have a rather bothersome pimple bump under my left eye...the part that my glasses hit. Because I picked it, It looks terrible and I need to leave that alone. It is different from my usual rosacea acne. so am afraid it is permanent. it looks a bit purple this morning.
sigh
I need more coffee this morning.

I should just break down and go to a dermatologist. I have a suspicious mark on my face. When I had those BBL broad band laser treatments and cyro treatments they did not get rid of this...so that is why I think it may be precancerous.
I never got orders to see a client of mine for this morning need to call the hospice nurse to see if she can intervene.

It sounds like going to the dermatologist is a good idea
That is the pot calling the kettle black tho. I'm loaded with suspicious moles, and haven't had them checked in years. I have one on my chest that I know needs attention.

I don't think that not wanting to go out in the rain is a lame excuse for skipping the meeting. As far as I know, I don't think you NEED to go those meetings right now, so why go out in shitty weather?

I hope that the hospice nurse is able to help you out with the doctor's order for your client this morning. If things work there, like they work here, she should be able to get a verbal order for you pretty quickly.

Thanks kay,
shortly after I called the nurse at the docs office she faxed over signed orders yeah!....but I had already canceled her visit...and will see her when I can work her into my schedule. She doesn't know we had an appointment today.Dementia client.

I don't know what a plank is but I would think if its anything like
what it sounds 12 seconds is good for 1st time in a long time.

And I'd just work on upping the time if I were going to try doing
them. I also need to get back to walking.

I think your doing good with the weight loss and things so keep
it up.

Good job on shower and hair wash too.

Planks: I used to be able to do them and had done them up to 2 minutes...now that was several years ago and at a much lighter weight.
I hate doing crunches/sit ups because I have neck issues.
My overall body is out of shape completely.
I also have balance issues. I fell onto my towel rack and bruised my upper arm the other day. Very painful, simply getting out of the shower.
I fell 2 months ago going up a curb and hurt my ribs.

I really need to work on my balance. I have exercises to do and should do them.

A plank is yoga pose. kind of like a push up except you are on your elbows with your hands/arms resting out in front of you. Then you get up on your toes and being as straight as you can hold that position. It is supposed to work your stomach "core" muscles.
It is very hard to do.

I just did the plank with hubby and held the pose for 25 seconds. hubby held it for 65 seconds.
Better is better.
