I was at the gym destroying my legs and shoulders while listening to my tunes and watching snips of hockey. Earlier in the day I attended my 14yo's last middle school choir concert.

Still consistent! Heading to the gym soon to do legs and shoulders .

Marked a few small items off of my list today!

Congrats to your daughter! I wouldn't say it's easier, but it's our new normal. It's really bittersweet for me. I'm proud of my daughters, but I dread school functions. I think about how Phil is missing these milestones, and I'm attending solo. All three of my daughters are reaching milestones this next school year. My 17yo will be a senior. My 14yo will be starting high school. My 8yo will be moving to the intermediate school, 4th&5th graders. Orientations, graduations, all solo.

I was looking forward to having the evening to myself, but I really wasn't in the mood to do anything. I was really down and ended up crying myself to sleep. Just one of those days.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's difficult grieving with your child. My daughters were 14, 12, and 6 when my husband died. The milestones and holidays might get a little easier, but they still hurt.

I'm sorry Jen. Have you ever considered talking to a professional about how your feeling? It might be more beneficial to share with someone face to face. My low days are getting fewer and further between. To keep myself from falling deep I try to do something physical (gym, clean, house projects). I hope you can find something to focus on that helps you through the deep lows. ((Hugs))

Some thoughts just shouldn't be verbalized. I'm sorry.

This afternoon my daughters and I had an appointment at the salon. Our stylist was running behind so she cut mine for free. Not necessary, but nice! Then we went to an engagement party for a bit. When we got home I went to the gym. We've just been relaxing, quiet night. I usually have Fridays to myself and the rest of the weekend with my daughters.

Legs and shoulders today. I leg pressed 585 lbs.

I hope you're having a great time on your date!

I've been consistent, but not posting. Yesterday was abs, chest, triceps, and cardio. Today will be cardio.

Do you have an update on your crush??

I'm so sorry.

Peter? Richard?

Exactly!!

It's not so much the artist, but the memories we have attached to their music.

I sleep in a king sized bed with two large pillows. Lately my one pillow seems to be getting a lot of cuddling action. This morning I woke up to it spooning me.

I watched the Blackhawks win!!! On to game 7!! Last night I rode shotgun in a squad car for a few hours with a good friend. It was nice seeing everyone and meeting the new hires. My LH was #128 (1999) when he started and they just hired #176.

Wednesday...cardio Thursday...abs, back, biceps, and cardio Friday...legs, shoulders

Messaged with friends all day. Great work out! The Blackhawks are playing tonight. We need a win!!

Monday ... rest day Tuesday ... chest, triceps, abs, and cardio

Hi Laurie! I wish you didn't have a reason to seek out this group, but I'm glad you did. I've received a lot of support here. Great group of people! You'll slowly make your way back to exercise. Be kind to yourself. Take it one day at a time. Daily ups and downs.
