Check-In for FitDay Challenge
Hi Tal! Hope your day went well today.

Caloric Goal: Now I'm 2 for 2 with this goal. Today was a good day for staying AT/BELOW Caloric Goal.
This is my battle right now. So, we'll see if I can put the numbers in favor of the "AT/BELOW" camp tomorrow.
Water: This is a big thing for me that I'm consistently meeting my water goal this week. In fact, I increased my goal from 48 oz last weeks to 64 oz this week. Yea!!!!

Some Montana pix:
Ungroomed trail after a couple inches of snow
A few more inches on top of groomed trails
The Isaak Walton Inn. The rail cars (5 cabooses and 1 locomotive) have been refurbished as living areas. We looked into renting one of the cabooses - and may do it in the future, but it is a little more expensive.

Pam. Wonderful photos, that lodge looks like just the place to get away from it all
Hope. Talking is good, we're all here for you.
BF is coming over for a week but he will be working away this weekend so I get to pick him up from the airport, bring him home, collect his kit, take him up to the transport and wave him off until Sunday. Hopefully then we will have at least 3 to 4 days to ourselves before he has to run a course. Then another free day before he flies back. Haven't even started thinking of what we will do as its been so long since he was here and had free time to spend with me. Maybe we should look at a few wedding venues.......

Hope None of us are born with the ability to be perfect parents, we all make mistakes and most of us just try to work out what's best for our kids as we go along. When one of our children is in pain, of whatever kind, we tend to blame ourselves and beat ourselves up because we are seemingly powerless to help. However, the choices we make when we are raising them are usually the best we can make at that time with the information we have and that's the bottom line. Yes we maybe could have done things a little differently but who's to say that things would have turned out any other way.
The parents on this site all sound normal, loving people who are trying their best to understand and do what's right in sometimes very difficult situations.
I salute you all and admire your strength because as we know there are some out there who can't or won't love their children and who just abandon them when things get tough..

Thank you so much for this. At one very low point last year when my DD was running off to her friend's house to escape my hurt and anger, I got upset and told her she could leave, go live there. She was so hurt but then I said "Of course you know I would be down our front steps waiting for you when you got there and bringing your bag right back upstairs." I will never give up on her.

Hope i feel for you. I am not a parent but i know i was a difficult child/teen and early adult. Don't loose hope for her recovery. Becoming an adult can be such a difficult time and she obviously feels a lot of emotional pain. Most cutters feel they are some how letting out some of the internal pain when they externalize it by cutting. If you have never been there it can seem so extreme and beyond comprehension. But when it's you, you're just trying to deal with the pain and get through life. I struggled for years with inappropriate coping mechanisms: drugs/alcohol/binge&purge/cutting. It took years but i finally hit a bottom and got help. Fast forward and I am 16 years clean and sober with a career as a RN. So don't give up, she will find her way. I can't imagine how painful it must be to watch from the outside. My heart goes out to you.
