HELP.. I need advise to get back on track!

[sheilarae 84]

Sorry about you too Linda. The pain never goes away. It just turns into a dull ache like a headache that never goes away. I have to get back on track do I try not to beat myself up.

Heartbreaking for your boy, so young. God Bless you. Keep the faith and take care of yourself.

Thank you Sheila. I thought I was kind if alone in my backslide but I guess wing imperfect is what makes us human. I would love to get back into exercising. I was going to the gym three times a week until my son and his four year old moved in and I became permanent sitter not just grandmother. I love spending time with her however it does disrupt my normal routine and I am trying to remember how I got everything sine when mine were little. I just can't keep up like I did when I was younger. I really do think I need a grief counselor as well.

[sheilarae 84]

I think I need a grief councilor too. There are many things in my past that have caused grief. I think they've just built on top of each other. If you can find a walking , Zumba, or even a Micky mouse exercise DVD you and your grandchild can do it together.

I never thought about a DVD we could both enjoy. Thanks that is a great idea.

Your welcome. Since I teach 4 year olds it was my first thought. Hope it works out. If it's warm enough to walk outside, you could go on "theme walks ". Together make a list of things you might see and walk around the block to see if you can find them. Young kiddos can't walk very far but it's a fun way too be and teach a healthy habit too. Sorry,..I'll get out of teaching mode. Ye for bed anyway. Have fun!

❤️Yes I absolutely love spending time with her but it seems much more tiring than when my own kids were small. I feel I have more patience with her but at the same time I feel like she requires so much entertaining. I had three boys and I have decided that boys and girls are ao different at this age. She loves to go on walks but here in Texas we have been having extremely cold weather with lots of wind so outside walks will have to wait

So sorry for all of your losses and personal stress. I agree do much with pp about doing stuff with your granddaughter. I know my 6 year old daughter is such a big motivator if I just tell in the morning we are going to exercise she will bug me all day till we do it! She loves to do any kind of exercise video but especially yoga which could be good to start out with a low impact yoga. Good luck.
