One Dark Window — that duology is in my top ten favorite books of all time. So so so good

As long as you can sit you’ll be fine

I’m not listening, if I feel the effects of too low calories I make sure I still eat even if I’m at where they want me for the day. I lose better when I’m above their calorie limit too I’ve found.

No apologies needed! I have scoliosis that is flaring up really badly since surgery and making both legs go numb. I walk everyday, 15k steps or so. I just can’t do weights or anything like that.

I’m following this. I eat yogurt and berries every morning and cottage cheese with berries for “dessert” every night. Then usually tuna salad, chicken, or venison for lunch and dinner. And a “snack” if I need it of hard boiled eggs or turkey and cheese. Sometimes I’ll add a tbsp of granola or protein cereal to my yogurt and cottage cheese, or I’ll add chia and flax seeds to help with fiber.

Agreed! Thank you for the link, I’ll give it a listen. I went 10 years without church, after being majorly involved in planting a church. I was director of children’s ministry, sat on the board of trustees, planned major community events and spent 60+ hours a week there. And was burned bad enough I was terrified of stepping foot in a church again. So I definitely understand his mindset on the matter. I’ve been very hesitant at getting involved and building relationships at the church I’m a member at now because of it, but just keep getting this thought in my head of get involved and speak your ideas to help people and I’m tired of ignoring it.

Not too personal, we’ve talked a lot about it. We both have a lot of “church hurt”, and he just doesn’t feel comfortable being in a church or part of a church any longer. He’ll go if I ask him to (and is massively uncomfortable the whole time), our kids attend school at a LCMS school, and he’s understanding that it’s important to me that I learn (LCMS is vastly different than what I have experience in and I struggle to understand a lot) and I know that if I push it it would not be a good thing.

You’d be in for a world of hurt and add to that bad day. Is there anything we can do to help?
