That’s what I ended up having to do with my mum. The phone would ring, or the doorbell, or the dog would look at her or something, and she’d immediately drop what she was doing and want to attend to it. I had to be a bit of a bouncer with people. She was the sort of person who used to have dinner at the same time every day too, you’d think people would have some damn brains.

Aww thankyou 🥹 Work’s been super busy and the kids absorb the rest of my time. Still plodding along with my weight loss journey. I worked out that I’ve lost around 8kg since September last year! How’s life in your neck of the woods?

I suffered from auditory hallucinations for years. Still do from time to time, but less and less as I get older. It sounds like a tv or radio or just voices, like if a tv was on outside. The split system used to trigger it and occasionally the fridge.

Last time I opened a fortune cookie there was nothing inside, and not for the first time.

After a quick squiz at the ingredients I reckon it’s the honey powders, soy sauce powders, vegetable powders, and other ingredients like gums and acidity regulators. If you were making honey soy chicken marinade yourself it wouldn’t have any of these things. Not everyone has the time though.

I know you’re probably not a “huggy” kind of person (I’m not either) but I would totally give you one of my physically awkward A-frame shouldery hugs right now.

Someone taking the job a bit too seriously. At my local they couldn’t give a shit.

Thankyou for telling this to us. You sound like you’ve got your goals in good order. I’ve been on my own fitness journey for the last (almost year?) I seem to recall when this daily thread first started up I was doing a daily fitness post. I stopped at one point due to ex/relationship issues and problems with time and life balance. I’ve started again due to the fitness chat channel that was started in one discord server I’m in. Everyone gradually fell out until it was just me and this other woman living near Atlanta Georgia. We basically are the weight thread now lol. We had all sorts of odd things in common and we’re both 50+ ladies working heavy manual jobs looking to pursue better fitness, with weight loss as a bonus. We’re both already physically active and strong but overweight and menopausal, which has it’s own challenges. We’ve tried different things and shared our progress and really spurred each other on. I’ve managed to build muscle and lose 8kgs since I started. I spend some spare time looking for exercises which which can be done anywhere, any time, are easy for strong hefty women to do and won’t trash my joints (my knees and wrists are buggered, and a lot of these skinny little things buzzing around on social media have no idea what it’s like for a 90+kg woman with dicky knees and a bodgy back, and it shows in their exercises). I’ve been working on a routine that suits me and basically does the job and makes me feel good. It’s a work in progress, as are we all! Good on you for identifying potential for positive change!

I happily lost interest in sex years ago, but Mads Mikkelsen or Tom Hiddleston may peak my interest…

Ouch! I did my extremely slow and gentle squats after a trip to IKEA with the kids. I’ve been looking into equipment-free exercises for toning and improving my shape without trashing my joints. Today I did a few exercises from a chair (seated) workout video. It seems like nothing doing at first, but by the time you hit the 50ish mark you’re starting to feel odd muscles activate. I never got the hang of Pilates, I think I’d have to do it in front of a mirror to get it right and there’s insufficient space in front of mirrors at my place.

Ok so you inspired me to have another look at squats. One of my least favourite exercises because my knees hate me (“lift with your knees” they said, “save your back” they said). I thought, there’s got to be a way to do it without trashing your knees. That led me to a short video which really helped. I did all the things that Dr said and now I can (carefully) do squats! Very excited to join you on your squat challenge!

I’m a bit like Force, I started with the spray and moved to the lozenges. I really liked the spray and used it for about 4 years before I switched to the lozenges. I can’t see myself giving up the lozenges any time soon but the way I see it, anything is better than smoking or vaping and I’m happy for myself, because I was really badly addicted. I gave up and then started again and quit again about 10 years ago. I’d had about a dozen attempts prior to that.

I’ve got a calendar for upcoming stuff and birthdays and a small whiteboard I write the business of the day on. I just can’t do digital/phone calendars, they don’t work for me visually the same way. Also the whole family can use it, so it’s better in that way as well.

Today is the day I catch up with my old friend (I got the date wrong initially; stupid, because I chose the date 🤪) She’s chosen one of those hotpot places in Chinatown. I’ve never been to one of those before.
