Just checking in and happy to see old friends and new doing well. Here in the D.C. area the air has been smokey so I've been walking in the gym and missing being outside. Maintenance is going good, tracking early each day let's me know what my food choices for the remainder of the day will be and helps keep in feeling full and satisfied. I should be able to get out on my new little bike again tomorrow. Thought you might like to see the two baskets I wove for shopping rides. I love this little bike.
Keep on tracking ya'll.

@j29t Your baskets are absolutely beautiful!3

@j29t, your baskets are delightful! Such a practical looking bike for errands and things, too!
I've been thinking that I need to get some kind of rack/basket system for my bike so I could use it for small errands, too . . . but mine is a kind of gnarly looking hybrid (between a road bike and a mountain bike), so I think I'll be looking at something not so satisfyingly lovely as your overall setup.
You did beautiful work on the baskets!3 -
Howdy! Everyone has such great posts! I’m new here, been on a different website but it’s shutting down. I’m seeing what’s out there!5

@j29t Your bike looks amazing! That would be fun.
Today, I'm trying out an introduction to pilates. It was a free session and I thought, what the heck? I've heard it's really hard and very good for you.
I swim a mile once a month and it usually takes about 70 minutes. I felt good in the pool on Thursday, so I swam my 2nd mile this month for the very first time. I swim twice a week for an hour on my regular schedule. It felt really good.
We're still getting lots of rain here in Colorado, but luckily it starts in the late afternoon. So, I plan my outdoor activities in the morning. The streams and rivers are running really high, so I have to be careful when taking my dogs to our local dog park. They are big and can swim, but the water is running fast. Always a new adventure...6 -

Greetings, seasoned citizens. Good to see you all working hard on improving your health.
No significant changes in my spouse's condition. The myeloma remains dormant - that's the good news. She's still dealing with chronic joint pain and the effects of long term opiate use for pain relief. I continue with personal counseling and a caregiver support group. That's helping me to cope, but I feel the burnout from 2 plus years of dealing with this situation.
I was walking regularly, but I have fallen off the wagon recently. Starting back up today. Saw the scale creeping up and that was my wake up call.
Keep up the good work, my friends. I do read the thread sometimes but don't always comment. Regardless, all of you are an inspiration to me.9 -
@alteredsteve175 Hang in there. Do what you can to relieve stress and find support. We're here to listen if you just need to vent. Take care of yourself.1

@alteredsteve175 You are staying so focused, Steve, despite all the challenges. I'm glad you have so much support both here and in person.

Good show, Steve. That's good for both you and the dog, after all.
It's good to hear from you. Like others, I'm cheering for you to find the best path in your difficult situation, and admire all the things you do to keep it together amongst the challenging circumstances. Hang in there!2 -

Heard that. I find that walking gives me time to think and sort things out. Also helps to restore my patience - I always need that.3 -

New to MFP, and to fussing over my weight in general, but I qualify for this thread and weight is becoming an issue. The landscape pic is awesome and the bike with baskets is cute too. I've only read back a few pages so far but dragon boating was mentioned and I've done that for about 10 years. All of you are so inspiring! Thanks!6

Welcome! I like to think that we inspire each other 🙂

I'm so afraid of heights, I could never climb that high! when I was growing up, one of my older brothers used to pretend we're going to go over the cliff while he was driving the family (my parents didn't drive) to different lakes etc & many times there were no railings on the roads & some were elevated so it freaked me out.
I haven't ridden my bike in ages. I did put a basket in the front & would put my little dog in it. She enjoyed it, besides that I would take my big dogs to run along side way before it was popular & some people would yell at me that it was cruel. Now a days many do it. I'll have to decide if I'm going to ride it any more, if not I should sell it to make more room in the shed3 -
Happy Father's Day to the amazing dads out there and Happy Juneteenth!
While I don't have my eating all the way back on track yet, my exercise is really coming along. Two times swimming, 2+ mile walks at the dog park, restorative yoga and today, a 4.3 mile hike with 610' of elevation gain. It was hard, when a year ago it would have been much easier, but I'm back in the saddle and feeling so much better already. The last time I burned this many exercise calories in a month was July of last year.
Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!8
