    Thanks for the kind words, Mindi!

    Checking in. My wife is doing better - we've seen two good days in a row. Hoping for three today. 🤞

    My weight is up and down, but I'm holding under 200. Not sleeping well or getting enough exercise. Always room for improvement there.

    Hope the good days continue.

    Hey everyone, I am sad to hear so many places still have covid restrictions. We practise good hygiene and most but not all people use the tracing app. we haven’t had cases in the community for such a long time. But we are way behind with vaccinations. Only just starting here really. I am over 65 and haven’t had the call to have one yet.
    I am not losing weight, I am just treading water, will have to lower calorie allowance and completely cut any sugars until I get a bit of traction on losing weight.
    It is just too easy to make excuses for not doing a nice long walk,,, middle of winter, short days,, cold days,,🙆‍♀️I could go on forever🤦‍♀️
    Good luck to everyone👋🏻👋🏻

    Thank you, all, for your encouragement and kind words. This little corner of the world is keeping me sane.
    Steve. praying the good trend continues. Any thoughts about her able to be released?

    Another good day yesterday - that's three in a row. Kathy's pain is decreasing and mobility is improving. Radiation treatments are due to be completed 6/16. She should be able to return home after that.

    Contractor is being scheduled to blow up a bathroom and add a walk-in shower. Oh joy!

    Happy Friday Peeps! Let’s make this one count. Log food, get steps, do that workout. Do one healthy thing at a time and it adds up!

    Hello all, thought maybe this time if I used more of the tools, like joining a group for people my age who are also trying to do battle with the bulge, that I might be more accountable and successful. My name is Maggie and I'm looking forward to getting to know all of you.

    Yes! We try to do 2 miles every day after lunch, around town, with longer hikes on the weekends.

    Drive-by check in. My wife is making progress - back pain is lessening. She should be home by next week. That will improve her mood, I hope. Then we can start the second phase of this journey.

    Good to see all of you working on your goals. Reminds me to stay on track, too.

    That's really good news, Steve. Keeping hope that she may achieve a real remission, but even the reduced pain and good days are a wonderful thing - not that you need someone to tell you that!

    Continuing to think of you both, send positive wishes.
