    Thanks everyone!

    Sitting on the hard surface doesn't bother me, though after a while my rear end begs to differ!

    It's when I lay flat on my back...

    That's when it screams.

    I just try to avoid anything that requires me to do that ;)

    Fantastic job Ricky! Sometimes we don't even notice how things are changing because it happens so slowly, but you are improving every day! Keep up the good work:)

    Pain - the body's way of saying "Don't do that again!" Glad you're feeling better. Take care, Val

    Not the best tasting, but very refreshing!

    That looks interesting...and yes, refreshing! Did they say how long to let it sit (brew)?

    So happy for you Ricky to seek out and try new things to help your health and progress. WTG!

    I let it sit in the fridge overnight. IMO I'd decrease the mint a little and only refill the water 4-5 days before making a new batch.

    Wow Ricky I am so excited for you. What a wonderful journey you are on in so many ways. Such a bright future ahead of you in doing what you love so much. That is the key to life finding something you love for work and play and life will be easier and happier for you. I knew when I was 16 what I wanted to do for a career and even though my ACT test said I wouldn't get past 2 years of college, I proved them wrong with a Master's Degree. Don't let anyone tell you - you can't do something. You want it badly enough you go for it. KEEP GOING STRONG MY FRIEND!!!!

    Awesome progress Ricky!

    In addition to NuMi, I track my weight on an Excel file w automated histogram and trend line. You should consider tracking your walking metics. Your increased distance is impressive! (Sorry, I'm a data nerd.)

    Miracles happen! Congrats on all those lovely surprises. Eating veggies you grow yourself is really cool...you can just feel all the healthy nutrients infiltrating your system.

    My tomato plants have really shot up...and have been producing pretty well. My bell pepper plants grow, but only one plant has any peppers...and they need to grow a little more before harvesting. My oregano and basil are slow, but they're hanging in there. Take care, Val

    Hi Val
    Yours are ahead of mine here. The Largest tomato is ping pong ball sized and the peppers are just starting to bloom. The two summer squash are looking like they are getting ready yo bloom but nothing yet.

    Cheers
