    3.5 miles in 72 minutes. Not my best time, but I had a walking partner today didn't want to run off and leave her.
    Setting my extra alarm for my Monday to start off right.

    Happy Saturday all!!

    @arniedog74 I understand now... I thought you were talking about a PCP doctor and that just was weird!! I hope you have luck with the shirt shopping at discount places.

    @jtophinke Sorry to hear about such a hard last year!! I hope that you find your groove and get some great friends and motivation to get your money back!! Sounds like a fun bet program!!

    @ErynVee Glad to hear you are okay! Don’t be too hard on yourself for the snacking... it is understandable. It is also kind of you to host your family.

    I am getting moving slow today. Woke up in extreme pain and stiffness. Working on trying to push myself into a healthier lifestyle one bit at a time. Got down the tracking again, been pushing more water... now it’s time to push the activity. Been paying for a membership at a YMCA since July 2017... and have gone for a whole 30 min... time to get my money’s worth. 🚶🏽‍♀️🏊🏽‍♀️

    SUNDAY

    Good morning,

    Recipe posted for broccoli/macaroni and cheese will be made again! Now to figure out the rest of my meals......Reading about sources of Potassium, potatoes/sweet potatoes came up. I used to eat a serving a day of sweet potatoes- so for now that is back on the books - early morning when it is colder. So sweet potatoes and 1 dried date daily. Broccoli when I can fit it in. Ultimately to lose weight I need to walk more like Saltine and less like a couch potato, so up and away we go!

    Dog is up and fed and I wait for oatmeal. Shorter to do list today.

    Helpful hint, I bought a "photograph" box at Michaels as they were on sale - they make great gift boxes and are reusable. I did not like anything for myself so I got one skein of pink and one skein of yellow yarn to stripe with black for scarves to donate.

    Hope to fly by later.

    Joined a virtual race... in the wonderful city of Moscow. I miss it so much!! I lived there several years ago, but it feels like just a bit ago.

    @aobrien769 I don’t believe you are useless!! There are ebbs and flows in life. Hopefully you can stay longer and have more progress now than you have ever before!!

    Happy Sunday all!!

    This weekend has not been good food choices... can't even really say, I ate in moderation. Endless shrimp at Red Lobster... it just kept coming.. plus, cheesecake! I did bring home 3 to go containers and shared with mom and step dad... so, that is not terrible. This morning, had breakfast at a great little diner, with homestyle cooking. I ordered 1/4 biscuit and gravy with hashbrowns...I ended up, not only with that, but 2 giant pumpkin pancakes and a loaded, sticky biscuit! Uncle decided he needed to let them know it was (almost) my birthday... so, I got too much food and a birthday song. Ugh... again, 2 to go boxes came home with me... the diner was Gpa's fav place to eat...I don't know why, but got overwhelmed and cried when they sang. Gma gave me a card, and wrote "Grandpa sure loved his first granddaughter" I lost it. Finally visited his grave after marker had been placed. Looks nice. I'm hoping this gets easier.... doesn't seem like it, right now.

    Dawn - cant say it ever gets easier, you just get more used to it, if that makes any sense. Lost my youngest brother in 2001 and eldest last Oct. I grieve both every day. Losing someone you love just sucks. Period. <<hugs>>

    Sara - it can be so aggravating when your separate doctors dont agree. Even more frustrating when the different doctors within a single practice dont agree! Have had to deal with that before.

    My gyn seems to think I should have already started &/or finished menopause, but my family history doesnt jive with that.(he was hesitant to replace IUD but my family is filled with late life babies!) I told PCP so he even took blood test to check hormone levels and said levels are not even close to being ready for menopause. (No idea what they look for to determine that)

    Just keep fighting for your health and all the info you can get to make informed decisions!

    Runa - did you go with Yes.Fit? I will have to look up the Moscow race. How many miles is it? I just completed Cinderella and started Tombstone.

    Eryn - good to hear you're safe.

    Lana - I'll be pushing my lounge chair under your tree. Need some rest after keeping in the mountains all weekend!

    Thank you. This is first birthday without him. So, it's hitting hard. Trying to stay positive with holidays coming. Trying...

    @hickchic67 Yes, I signed up through Yes.Fit... the Moscow race is 26.93 miles. I am going to try and get a mile in each day. Knees are pretty sore after yesterday’s walk. I stopped off by the river and listened to a live band because I was so winded and out of shape. Hope to build up endurance.

    Kathryn, what a blood test can determine is do you have the capacity to ovulate. My doctor was going strictly by age and statistics. Makes sense, but doesnt always work.

    Dawn - first anniversary's are the pits, glad you got to spend it with family. Nice you have marker for him.

    Leftover mac and cheese for lunch, cauliflower pizza crust with sauce and cheese- I will add chopped broccoli (frozen) and stuffed mushrooms (cheese and artichokes) for dinner. Will start oven with sweet potatoes and then mushrooms (longest of 2 for dinner) and then pizza to save electricity and $$ do them all in one session.

    Not sure what to do with day. Hope I wont become a couch potato.......

    Ended up tossing the stuffed mushrooms and may get a new cooking thermometer.... just wasnt "right" and would rather not find out about it.

    Did take a surprise nap, TOM may be soon. So took nap I was not planning on.

    Dog walk and then stroll around outside for 15-20 minutes.

    Wishing all a good night
