Up and at it early this morning. Warmed up for a quarter mile, then jogged an easy 3.0 miles, and cooled down another quarter mile. Didn't quite stay under the 1500 calories I was shooting for yesterday, but didn't do bad - still way below my RDI. I think I'll keep this up for a little while - at least until I'm back below 220 again. DW is definitely experiencing mood swings. Went off on me yesterday, and I have no idea why. I'm struggling to get everything done that I can, and sometimes it gets very frustrating when you feel you just can't do enough. She settled down like nothing happened, but you could tell she had been stewing about little things that I didn't even consider significant. I can see that I am going to have to walk on eggshells for a while. Ughhh! She is going to pay one of the granddaughters to stay with her during the day and help her out; I hope she takes some of her frustration out on her during the day before I get home. :) One can only hope. Don't worrry, my granddaughter deserves it.

haha! the granddaughter deserves it huh? i haven't had to deal with what you're going thru, but i know how i behave when i'm hurting - physically and emotionally - is to lash out at people. you do it at those who love you the most 1) as a test to make sure they really do 2) because you know they do and will love you even at your worst.

Exercise is the best way to get your frustration out. Have you thought about kick boxing or just boxing - I am sure that would get lots of frustration out..... Your doing great... Just remember your DW loves you, it is the treatment and the fear of the illness that makes her snap at you. When my brothers wife was having chemo, that was one of the things he found most difficult.... Her aggression and attitude towards him... He knew it was the treatment causing it - but it was still difficult for him.... Thinking of you x

Funny Skinny; I was just reminiscing about how it's been almost 10 years since my last street brawl. Who needs kickboxing! It did feel pretty good to let someone else have it, but it really wasn't the Christian thing to do. :0 I've become quite the pacifist over the past few years. NOT! The only thing that keeps me from throwing things or taking a hammer to them nowadays, is that I actually have the sense to think about what it is going to cost me to replace whatever I damage.

Ohhhh Ryan - that's hilarious!!! At least you can relate to DK's experiences.. I can relate to both of your wives - sometimes I will definitely sit and stew about things and let the little things pile up until I have a "Blow it out your ass!" meltdown! ;) Gotta love it.. And yes, I think the main reason is because there are a lot of things that 'we women' think are important/significant that 'you men' just overlook/ignore... Hmm...

I agree with Jess as well. She takes it out on you because she knows you can handle it. She loves you, but she feels like sh$t and probably hates it that you don't feel like sh$t too. Tough thing to deal with for sure. Hang in there. Hopefully the granddaughter will help defer some of it. I totally understand when you say she deserves it. My parents would say the same about my kids. :)

LOL on your granddaughter, DK. You're a wonderful husband. Don't forget, you can come here to vent. We're rooting for both of you.
