This week's lesson is on moderation. You should always use moderation with food, beverages, cocktails, drugs, hookers, and most importantly ALWAYS use moderation when it comes to spending time with your family. Ugh, I feel a rant coming on.
**Caution - explicit content, read at your own risk**
So I called my ortho to talk to him about the pain I've been experiencing since I began the couch to 5k. Much to my disappointment, this is now a no-go. He is concerned I will damage the very little cartilage I have left. I'm bummed, but I'm not going to let that stop me. I will speed walk a 5k this year. I told my mother about this, her reply "well, you never liked running anyway". I kind of had that grumpy cat expression on my face when she said this. Errr, whatever! Then my grandma called, wanting to know if my husband's co-worker was still delivering wood. She has an indoor wood burner that she buys wood for, but her specifications are unreasonable. The wood has to be fully seasoned, no knots, cut to fifteen inches, and dirt cheap. She's too old and crazy to realize nobody is going to do that, it's too much to ask. My husband and I decided to lie to her, and tell her that nobody we know is doing wood. If we were to give her a number, and she was to feel the wood was not up to her standards (which it never is) I would never hear the end of it. I learned my lesson on helping out family many years ago. Hell, I still got yelled at because I don't know anyone that can get her wood. I can never win with these people. They're insane. My addict brother moved back into my mothers house, lovely. Now I get to deal with him and his whores whenever I'm over there looking after my sister. Not an over-exaggeration. I used to make dinner over there so my sister could eat with me and my kids because my mom never has 'real' food to feed her, (my mom is content with tequila for dinner, so my sis gets a lot of processed crap) but now I can't even do that because my brother and his whores feel entitled to eat my food. It's not even worth the argument, so I just won't cook there. So needless to say, moderation is necessary in such times. Is it Friday yet??
I'm skipping the gym today due to illness. Still feeling very blah, and in a bit of pain. I will be working nonetheless. Bring on the addicts and whores. I'm trying to keep a firm grasp on my intake, hoping that it will pay off. I don't foresee much of a loss this week, as I'm still up two pounds. Ah well, is what it is.
Hope you are all better than I, Have a good one!
**End Rant**

Oh sweetie - you've got a full plate (no pun intended). Any chance you can take care of your sis elsewhere - probably not, but it is a thought. Stay strong thought - make sure you still take care of yourself and don't let these guys get to you.
On the running thing - I have knee issues, so really know what you're talking about. Genetically, I know I have to lose weight or not walk when I'm 80. My mom is 80 and has difficuty - and she's probably around 150. Actually, it was my knees that got me to get serious about weight loss. Anyway, the end of my story is to suggest you consider taking Glucosamine. Check it out, no side effects, except it helps your body protect cartilage. I've been taking it for 20+ years. You have to take it for about a month before you notice it working.
Hope your day gets a whole lot better!!!

I do you hope you get feeling 100% real soon and I know your pain when it comes to family. I told my daughter just yesterday I'm about to let loose on my son in law but so far I've kept my cork corked especially since at this point I have no place else to go to live. On the taking care of your sister and food. I suggest that possibly you prepare her food at your house and only take enough for her. She will eat better and the pimp and whores can fend for themselves. Take care Yolanda and maybe your new goal of walking the 5 K will be satisfaction enough. You've already done so well.

Hysterical! Not really living it, but your writing has pretty great comedic value. Sorry to hear about the knee. As to the 5K, it doesn't matter how you get there just as long as you finish. Hope your day swiftly improves.

Yep... family can be toxic in high doses... minimize the exposure and protect yourself.

That has to be hard, especially with your sister there, if she weren't there you could just choose not to go there. Well, I hope you start feeling better, it stinks that you can't do couch to 5K, but you could definitely walk it. Don't get too down, your FS family is rooting for you!!

Oh man - so sorry to hear. It's hard to maintain composure when everyone around you is unstable. When it comes to moderation, I think the key is to find other methods of stress-relief than food. Also for what it's worth, I think it's awesome that you're determined to speed-walk the 5k. That's a huge win in itself! You're doing awesome!

Thank you all very much! It is very frustrating, but I try to handle things one day at a time. Bea, we must be on the same wave length because I actually just made a huge pot of beef stew and plan on taking just enough to share between my sister and I tonight :-). 2MC, I'm glad you can find the humor in my words, it's always there as I try to never take things to god awful seriously. I am a caretaker, it's what I do and I'll never be able to completely walk away from these psychos no matter how crazy they make me, because they're my psychos and I love them... in moderation ;-). Lynn, I have taken the glucosamine then stopped, because I'm an idiot lol, but I think I'll start taking it again. I appreciate the support behind the 5k speed walk. I look at it this way, I lost 75lbs without running, I guess it won't kill me to change that particular fitness goal. Thank you guys for being the wonderful understanding people that you are. You have made a huge difference In my life today <3 Much love!!

I was going to comment that your sister will miss your good food if you cut her off cold turkey. Don't do that to her. I love taking just enough for the two of you. The rest are adults...they can find their own food.

*Reaches across the world to give you one very big HUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. I feel your pain and admire you for your strength of character to rise above everything that's negative from your family. I can't run either, due to my right foot which suffered some considerable damage playing sport years ago, being overweight then exacerbated it so now its badly arthritic so impact exercising for me is out; but...there are lots of other stuff I can, and do, do. Working with a really good personal trainer helped heaps, and taught me a lot so I know you will get over that bad news, as you say speed walking will be just as good. A friend of mine had to stop running too, so he took up cycling, now does a hundred km ride every other Sunday, is amazingly fit and looks incredible. :)
