[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 741235, member: 23349"] I’m a total techno-geek so i like the apps over pencil and paper! The lose it app tracks calories for you and lets you put in exercise, too, to determine how many calories you’re allowed each day based on your weight loss goals and activity Level. The deluxe version also tracks carbs and protein but I don’t have that. I like that it’s always on my phone with me so I can track wherever I am. I don’t like that I’m not losing weight as fast as it predicts I should be based on my calorie intake and exercise! Some, but intermittent. You’re not running after them like you do toddlers! It does take some strength when you are helping with wheelchair transfers and toileting and such, but the home health aides trained us in safe lifting and moving techniques. And a lot of it is just being there with them, or sitting around waiting a time doctors appointments, or making a thousand phone calls to take care of insurance, scheduling, finances, etc. I lived just a couple houses down from my grandparents when they needed care and would just take my laptop over and work there a couple days a week because someone just needed to be there to keep an eye on my grandma when she got dementia and help fix lunch, make sure medications were taken etc. mom and I traded off sleeping over. I guess I would say it’s a lot of work, but not necessarily a lot of exercise. That’s a great reminder, and something I know I have to make a conscious effort to make happen! It’s really easy working from home, and not being especially social, to just kind of never leave the house. R isn’t very social either, but I know it’s not healthy for us to only talk to each other! We did find a church to join here and are making a concerted effort to get ourselves out in the world. It sounds like you are doing a great job trying active and social! [/QUOTE]
