Hi Everyone,
It is so good to read everyone's blogs in the morning.
Janine, I too have had some degestive upset, milder than yours, but haven't been able to leave home for too long. I think it is better today.
Birgie, Miss Birgie, gardening, enjoying her day. I think that is as healing and as good for the soul as anything else. Cheering for you, and sending you love.
Oma Karen, loved reading what you wrote. I really, really, can relate to falling back on bad food habits, and less inerest or energy in exercise, because of loneliness. It's been a very strong hidden motivator in my life for sure. And with the weight loss challenge and the team blogging support, it seems like a less scary part of me to look at and to make better choices around.
Today my parents are making a huge outing by coming via wheelchair van to visit me this afternoon. I'm cooking up a storm, but a healthy one. This is a huge undertaking for them. My mom had begun to walk quite well in her walker, when she unfortunately injured her foot at the nursing home (got run over by her wheelchair by accident), so she has been recently more bed-ridden and has been very frustrated at the set-back. My dad is more frail than ever, and he has decided to give up their condo/life lease and to move into the nursing home with my mom. That will take a few months to sort out. This is a huge change of plans for both of them and they get quite weepy talking about it. Jen and Josh and their latest kidlette pictures are coming over for the visit as well. The weather looks great, the view of Harbourfront is beautiful today, and there will be lots of concert and Luminato Festival action happening while they are here. So they can see how I live near the "action."
Love to everyone. Keep up the good work and the great changes. Good health to us all.
Love, Lorna
