Good Morning; I am just enjoying the morning. I am reading the paper and drinking tea. I will exercise soon, but I am taking the morning off. I walked 2 miles yesterday and went to a museum. I love seeing new exhibits in museums or libraries. Hope every one is getting their movement in and also enjoying your family.

I'm up early too, not by choice, just could not sleep, so I will be productive and get my treadmill in, We are going to have a lazy weekend, stick close to the house, and maybe get alittle bit done in the yard, like pulling out squash and cantaloupe vines, also the spend tomatos. Our water company increased our rates by 75% this period and so, we have to figure out how to cut back even more, I think that one area of our yard will go completely barren, I want to price gravel or bark and just maybe have a walkway, We have been trying to conserve water, but now it is really extra money out of our pocket, Our neighbors are all trying to figure out exactly what kind of a desert landscape they are going to have.

Good Morning; it is raining here and it is about 12 degrees cooler!! It is so fabulous. The heat was so intense I was outside talking to a neighbor and I was sweating. It is not supposed to be raining all weekend. My garden needs the water so much. I am looking into putting rain barrels up. Any one have any rain barrels. I feel great. I will be exercising soon. I am just enjoying the rain on my back porch. I just love sitting, watching the rain and smelling the rain. Every one have a wonderful day and weekend. I will be walking all weekend. keep smiling and get some movement in. I am getting back on my food plan. I have problems on holidays and birthdays and when I vacation. When I socialize I do not seem to be able to stick to a plan unless it is only my DH and me. I have decided to not be so hard on myself. Every one enjoy your families and keep movement. Have a picnic and get some movement in with lawn games.

I plan to walk this weekend as well. Tonight I am taking an epsom salt bath to relieve my sore muscles from this morning's bootcamp Report Inappropriate Comment

I walked my 2 miles. Rain stopped - but it gave the grass and garden a good soak. It also kept the temp. down. Have a wonderful weekend. Have a great holiday. Keep smiling! Report Inappropriate Comment

Sounds good to me, my son is going ocean fishing today, and he promised lots of fish, and that he will share, so we will see, if it is fresh fish or hamburgers. I took it easy on myself yesterday, I did do my walk, a very comfortable one in the morning before it got hot, and I did do my treadmill, but I kept it at 4 to 4 1/2 miles per hour instead of 5 to 5 1/2, I feel much better today, not as congested so hopefully I am beating this cold/sorethroat/flu combination. I will take it easy again today, not sure if I will go swimming or not, but my aerobics class is a must do. We really do not have plans for the long weekend, hope to see our son and his family with fish, but just seeing them is good enough. I am still trying to download and separate pictures in my computer, and still want to put up some of my class reunion to my spark page, as well as pictures from our cruise. quite a chore for me. Have a great weekend. Mary Report Inappropriate Comment

Good Morning; I did not exercise yesterday. I was in too much turmoil. I have done much soul searching. I had to turn my son over to God. I understand he is having a really tough time. I would love to help him but he refuses to let me in except as a sounding board. I have to accept this, but I need to keep my life focused on my health program. As every mother knows, we forget ourselves when our family is in need. I start eating poorly and forget to exercise. It is so ingrained that I do not realise it until I am in a full blown program. I love my son greatly but he can be a great deal of stress and I need to let go at times. He has chosen a difficult career when he had other choices. Life is not always fair and his injury is his injury. He can ask for advice but I do not understand the Army process. He has never wanted our family involved with his military life. I have to believe that our country would not let a good soldier down. I am back and will exercise today and eat well. Love you all for all your support. You are all special and I am grateful for all your support.

Good Morning, I am glad to see you are resolved to take care of yourself. It is so hard to let go and let your child find his own way, but it is usually for the best. but it is our right and job to worry. I went out for a 30 minute wallk this morning before it got too warm, I did work out on my treadmill for 20 minutes, and will get another 20 minutes in before the day is done. Take care of yourself, and it will all work out. Hugs Mary Report Inappropriate Comment

If we can not take care of ourselves, we will not be there to help take care of family!! I think you have made a very wise decision!! Stay strong and healthy!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

Yes as Mom's we are often challenged to make our SELF-CARE a priority. If we don't take care of ourselves, we will not be able to take care of our love ones. I wish you well on your SPARKjourney. Report Inappropriate Comment

Good Morning- I am trying to keep calm. I have been working with my son since early this morning on the phone. Some one told him that he is heading to being kicked out of the Army due to his back injury. He was going to get shots for his back, but his appt is in October so he is still in severe pain. He was so upset. He loves the Army. He is also in the middle of a major inspection. He has no problems with what the Army expects of him. I also know he would not be so upset if he was not in so much pain. Needless to say, I have not exercised yet. I have not eaten yet. I just lost my appetite with hearing my son in such turmoil. He was bearing the pain yesterday, but today he is overwhelmed. I have been there. I had back surgery years ago. I hope my prayers get answered soon and he gets some pain relief. Not even 2 weeks ago he was going in front of the promotion board and saved one of his men life from a medical reaction. Does any one have any advice for me? I do not know how to comfort my son. I definitely do not understand the Army.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, I have no suggestion other than just be there for him, and help him sort out all of this. Mary Report Inappropriate Comment

Your Son is in my prayers!!! I to believe being there to listen is so very important! I do not know how the Army operates but it does seem there should be something else he can do! Maybe someone else out in SparkVille will know what you can do to help! Stay strong and take care of yourself!!!!!!!!!!!! Report Inappropriate Comment

It is hard to watch your children as they experience life. I think just being there and supporting him is the most important thing you can do. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Report Inappropriate Comment
