GlennM- Журнал, 08 авг 10

Went to church and realized I belong there more often. It's not for everyone like it was five hundred years ago in say, Europe. There is so much more to 'entertain', but I for one know I belong there. I will do writing tonight and listen to music and the dieting is going well. I think I will be able to be around the low 190s by the end of the year... 

Thank you for the comment on my journal, Glenn and I was thinking of getting to church more too. You sound up, which is good! 

Things seem to be looking up a bit for you Glenn, you sound a lot more upbeat about the immediate future. Thanks for your kind comments on my journal, I appreciate you buddy! 

Good to hear you in high spirits. :) 

Hey Glenn, you sound really positive and up in your spirits on the last 2 or 3 posts. I am so happy for you. Whatever you are doing, or did, keep it up. How is the calorie counting going? What are you doing for pain management. I have to take ibuprophin (sp?)off and on. When weather get bad, I hurt and so does hubby. He can only take Tylenol as he is on a blood-thinner. I am really glad you enjoyed your experiene in church. It is a great place for one when having lots of conflicts. I had a busy weekend and am not into today being Monday. LOL Glad things are well in your neck of the woods. Keep at it Glenn!! :-) 

Thanks everyone for writing on here. I have had arthritis nearly thirty years - with off and on remission periods of course. Anyway, I may not be able to do my job which is only part-time anymore. The bicycle is going up for sale, I am trying to sell it in my building but will go on the Internet in the next week if I have to. I am probably not going to be able to ride it anymore. I am on STRONG pain medicine. Remember, my spine has been 'locking up' making me almost immobile at times. The meds are helping. Simple meds will not work anymore. My pain management doctor put me on the meds after the Cortisone shots didn't work and he also sees how my back looks on MRI, etc. I can't drink anymore no matter how much I want to, and I want to badly, just to meet women. Maybe my posts are up because I'm not in pain, though I was Friday night at work. The calorie counting is going OK, I ate more yesterday than I wanted to. Tomorrow evening I hope to go shopping and get healthier food items. Maybe later in the week it will be to a megastore if someone will take me. Probably not. Anyway, I will limit daily how many calories I can eat and I think it will work. I didn't want to count points and I was sick of counting carbs and I generally don't eat unhealthy ones anymore anyway. Have a great beginning to the week everyone...
