mother situation continues.....

I have been so stressed out this past week dealing with situations with my mother.
I feel to be able to work out on my machines is helping me relive some of this stress.
Basically because of my mother's size it is becoming to much for just one nurse to handle alone like transfering her from the chair to the bed or toilet.
Come monday morning I have told my siblings I am calling out the army.
It blows my mind that for almost my whole life she gave me such a hard time about my weight.
Here we are at the end of her life and her weight is a issue with getting care.

That's ironic isn't it. I feel stress leaving me when I am working out and I have heard it is a great way to relieve stress so I am glad you have built that outlet for yourself. We are warned of cross adictions and if this is yours then its really a good one to have. I know you have a plan for your Mother's care and its a good one. Hopefully it will aleviate some of her fears so she can give you a little more time off.

Hey Miss Annie - I know the situation with your Mom is breaking your heart. I'm so glad that exercise is not only a key part of your new healthy lifestyle but that you get the added benefits of it being such an excellent stress reducer. Keep up the good work. Let us know if there's anything that we can do to help you.

I think of you all the time, Annie, about this situation and hope you get some relief from all this stress and worry soon.  {{{Hugs}}}

Ok you guys have convinced me once again that I must get my behind moving and work out more!  Not just for the benefits of excersize helping me loose or at least maintain my weight but that it's a stress reliever also... whew, I so need that!  Since I'm a 911 dispatcher I hear a lot and deal with a lot of stress, so when I leave work my neck and shoulders are killin me!  I'm going to get movin starting when I get off work in the morning.  I have been excersizing here and there but not regularly like I should be doin.  I ordered my Wii Fit but cancelled it because some unplanned emergency came up and I needed the $$$.. ugh!   Anyway, I have my bike to ride and my legs to carry me... so no excuse now!

Thanks girls!!!
