Yesterday morning, I took this picture of the front entrance to the St Louis, Missouri Union Station (Trains) built in 1893. The building has been converted into a modern hotel & entertainment complex.
Our family is united for a several day vacation. We have 4 adult children who all have spouses or significant others. We are also traveling with our 4 grandchildren. Last night, we arrived at a lake side resort for 4 days of swimming and boating.
We have not all taken a vacation together in several years.
If you are vacationing this summer, what do you plan to do?7 -

Exercised?: Yes. 5km walk in under 40 mins (hills).
Calories?: Yes
Tracked?: Yes
Rainy day, managed to pick the gap for a walk (mostly).
Kind of quiet day at home before the usual flight interstate for work for another week.RangerRickL wrote: »@craigo3154 One of my friends, who is your age range, has been a Type 1 diabetic since he was diagnosed at age 12. Several months ago, he chose to adopt a Keto diet. It has dramatically improved his health. He has lost over 45 pounds; insulin use has dropped by 90%.
Based on his experience, I believe your wife is going to have profound positive outcomes.
If you want more specific information, please let me know. My friend, Jerry, is very enthusiastic about his results
@RangerRickL. Yes. Any information on this would be most helpful.
My research last year came up with similar results, but you cannot force someone to do something. They need to take the initiative to change. "You can lead a horse to water ...."
My wife's specialist has asked my wife to lower her insulin dose already based on the previous 2 weeks results (Yay!!). My wife is starting to feel the benefits and I am supporting as much as I can (as well as leading the way with the habits I have established over the past year).

Despite traveling in the car for 8+ hours I still managed to get in 11,198 steps and only ate one meal out. Split a salad and Neapolitan pizza with my daughter for dinner. Everything else I ate were healthy pre-measured snacks. Total win for me!
