View JULES62's food & exercise for this day
Despite being totally stressed the last couple of days I managed to stay on track! When I get like that the first thing I want to do is eat bad (but very tasty!) things and go get a bottle of good wine to go along with it all. This time I didn't. How hard! Our son had me so upset my stress level has been through the roof! He is 23 and doesn't live at home but yet we are always stuck in his drama. He wanted to come home (yet again). For the first time we told him no. That hurt really bad to tell our son that. I also had to tell him no on borrowing money again too. Despite all this I felt so guilty not helping him when he asked. I can't take the stress of it all any longer. Slowly I have been learning to deal with this stress. I pray some day he will change and change soon. He's a good kid and no trouble with the law. Just problems with the party life and refusing to grow up and stand on his own two feet to be self sufficient.
With that said! I managed to behave myself and eat smart and keep moving on my bike. I rode 5 miles at 8-10 mph. Felt good about it. Funny that I used to ride 30-40 miles at 30mph for a singel ride. lol I'm good with it though. It was a good tired when I got home. I pay for it all in pain as I have arthritis. But it's ok. The pain lets me know I am doing something, that I'm still alive and still going and still trying!
Have a great Wednesday! Peace be with you.

Thank you ladies for the kind words of wisdom. Yes...we will all get to where we want to be. I have great faith this will happen! Have a great Memorial Weekend. Remember those who gave all.

It seems like we never finish being 'parents' do we? He sounds like a good boy, and maybe this is just what he needs to motivate him to get on track.
And, wow!, you sound just like me. You with biking and me with walk/running. I USED to (for a short time in my life) be able to run for an hour or two, or be on the elliptical through an entire movie. Now, Ugh!
Hang in there... we'll get back to that place again... one step at a time.

As my mom always said to me...let go ... let God.

Keep in mind you are trying to help your son develop independance. If we as parent do not do that, we are hurting more than feelings. Feel confident you are doing the right thing...
Thanks for the comment on my blog.
