Lounging By The Beach - Part 8.a

[Glam]

I'm not saying my diet is perfect But, I have tried eating right and have done certain regimens (ie, advocare, the skinny gut diet, etc) and can not lose a pound. Then I get discouraged/...... and start eating again… and gain MORE weight Also, I have other symptoms, so would like to get thyroid checked. And, if it is not thyroid, maybe a full blood workup will show something that is causing it

She may just tell me I am lazy and to get my azz off the couch

Tink....I do not know much about the human body, but I do know that weight gain....also known as middle aged spread....for your age group is very normal/common. Most women experience this....the only ones who do not are the ones who start eating less when they notice it. I am past middle age spread......I am now in the old age spread.....which means no waist, all hips and belly and batwing arms.

And I agree you should be checked out, especially if you are having other medical problems. We want our Tink healthy and posting here.

Dale.....sorry you are not up to par. Hope you get better as the days goes on.

Oh, I'm fine Glam ... this was more of a "mental" thing

I didn't either It may just be certain doctors offices that do that. But…. it is like you are penalized if you don't go to the doctor every year I do go to my gyno every year, but don't feel like I need another check up every year by a GP. I just need a GP if I get sick or need a referral

Yeah, I guess they assumed you were dead

Guess that won't happened to me, doc tried to make me come in for blood work one month after I had had a blood work-up

I have been working on my bathroon most of the morning.....I cannot believe how many jars of face creams, moisturizers, body lotions, hand creams, etc. that I have accumulated. AND NONE OF THEM WORK!!!!! I had a bottle of body lotion with a pump that was almost empty, so I dumped some baby oil in that and put a lot of those jarred creams in that bottle and shook them up with the baby oil...maybe my own concoction will give me baby smooth skin. (This is a very tongue-in-cheek statement. ) Or maybe there will be a chemical reaction from all those formulas mixed and my skin will be eaten away.

But at lease my storage areas in the bathroom look better.

Ewww!! Hope they were all unscented

Hey now are you making fun of our batwing arms.

I have about talked myself into procrastinating on going to the doctor I just talked myself into making the phone call…. and they are closed for lunch Must be a sign that I really don't need to go

And yes, I agree about people 'of a certain age' gaining weight. But being unable to lose any, while making a serious effort, is the part I don't get I do know I don't get enough exercise, and have tried to talk myself into getting more. But often I cannot talk/beg/cajole myself into getting up and attem. I mean a total weariness that I can't seem to overcome. My mom says she thinks a lot of it is because of the schedule I work. I think there is a lot of truth in that. While I work nights by choice, I know it is rough on the body and mind.

It's a thingy VG wanted. You'll have to ask him what and what he plans on doing with it.

 

[daleron]

Pretty sure it is

I had my wrist slapped a time or two for mentioning "no-no's" in the wrong places

Well, you shouldn't mention 'unmentionables' I guess

 

[tgcrna]

OK, despite what Meggers says, that laundry aint gonna do itself.

Talk to y'all laters

 

[jj2]

This is the gospel. I worked nights for a year and a half.......midnight to 8, when I was in my late 20s. And I was dragging around the whole time....even having panic attacks. I did go to the dr., and he told me to find a day job, which I did, and they went away, and so did my dragginess. So, listen to your momma. And I know you love your shift....but I do not believe anyone ever gets that deep, uninterrupted sleep that you need when trying to do it in the daytime.
