I want to start by thanking everyone who supported my last journal entry. It is nice to know there are so many people out there who understand my journey and especially gave support about my Dad and his Alzheimer's. Your kind words touched my heart and I really appreciate it.
These past two weeks have been going better. I am struggling with late night eating. Can't seem to stop myself. But I finally got grocery shopping so now I have some healthier things to eat so if I can't control the urge there are options. I am totally loving these Yoplait Greek 100 whipped yogurts. I don't like the taste and texture of normal yogurt but used to love the Yoplait light thick and creamy but they don't make those anymore so I am super excited to find a new treat. And you can freeze them and its almost like ice cream but way healthier.
Summer is here and I am kicking it up a notch with the walking, so nice to live in an area that has lots of hiking trails. I am also trying to take my dad out for walks in his wheelchair when I am home, which he seems to be enjoying so that gives me extra time with him and an extra work out.
Keep the faith everyone! You got this!

Retlawbk1 - I am sorry it was a bad day. I totally understand. Sunday was a bad Dad day. Dad was being grouchy and mom was crying because she knows we need to put him in a home. She's being stubborn about where he goes. I think it would be better to put him in a home that is about a half hour away with friends that he remembers from the good old days but I don't think she wants to drive that far or my sister has convinced she doesn't want to drive that far even though it isn't that far. But whatever, we can put him closer, but I know he will fight it. She won't let a PCA come in and help (he has bad legs). Hard to help people who don't want to be helped, but do want to be, but don't want to admit it. Trying to be patient, but some days are harder than others. I completely understand. Just remember with your husband if he gets mean, it isn't him, its the disease. God bless you and all the care givers who have to deal with it every day. The journey is not easy. Be strong. I'm hear to listen any time you need me!
