Good morning/afternoon/evening wherever you are! What a beautiful weekend we had in Michigan -- FINALLY! So, MFP says I'm on my 13th day of logging (feels longer than that!). I'm down 7 lbs. (73 to go) as of this morning. Not too shabby for 13 days. I'll take it. Feeling confident and happy. I'm sure the happy part is also due to seeing the sunshine for three days in a row.
As I am reading everyone's posts, I am learning how important it is to get in the daily exercise. As of right now, I am far from consistent. That will be this week's goal. I'm new to my neighborhood and not confident enough yet to venture too far out. I think I'll check out some YouTube videos tonight.
Have a Happy and Healthy Monday All!
Nancy in Michigan.

Well hi friends. I hope you all have been well. I had to take a break but I'm in a much better place now. I have found the serenity and clarity (mostly) I was missing. DH is halfway done with his sentence. I'm not doing anything weight-wise, but my last A1C was 5.7%. So now it's time to get back with the program. I'm excited to get caught up with you all!
I have a baker's cyst on the back of my right knee full of bone chips, so exercising has been a challenge. I started Tai Chi and today am going to do the cross trainer gently.
It's nice out for once, so I am going to plant my beans and peas. Other things I've planted from seed have drowned!
Well short and sweet. I'm going to try to keep this simple to be able to keep up. Take care! Meg14 -

@oldage I felt old when I realized my daughter turned 40 this year! I’m 63 and don’t feel old at all. My mom is 83 and still active and driving. Both my grandmothers died in their mid 90’s. My father and both grandfathers died of cancer in their 70’s. The men were smokers and alcoholics. So in my eyes, a healthy lifestyle like I have should get me to my 100’s! Lol!

Karen - is there an emoji for licking lips?
Lanette - about two years ago I promised you a photo of the National Heritage Elm Tree that is in the Pavilion gardens. I will post it from my phone in a few minutes.We walked through the Pavilion gardens on the way to the non-existent hat.
For those of you who don't know, Brighton and Hove is one of the last places in the UK that has surviving elms, because the Dutch Elm Disease did not reach here. Probably it was protected by the hills of the South Downs. This tree is a beautiful example, though there are trees all over the city.
I remember the trees in my in-laws garden in Hampshire having to be cut down by government order in the 70s . So sad. There are no elms left in most of the UK.

Gotta go to a board meeting for the park. I’ll finish catching up later.

Our National Heritage Elm Tree.

Heather - simply gorgeous tree. Thank you for posting this photo! Like you, I remember elms in my parents and grandparents wooded areas when I was a kid. Long gone now....
Would be neat if there are some left in the world with natural immunity to this disease that could be cloned. I'm sure botantists are looking for them.

Well ladies, a very upset and disappointed DH emailed the hat shop this evening.
He has just got an email back from the shop to say she is going to post him the hat when it comes in for ABSOLUTELY FREE. :drinker:
Wow!

decent day. I took care of some important things. it's great to not have major deadline for a few days. phew. it's very hot here. 87° at 8pm. High was supposed to have been 91. Tomorrow 94, Wed 99, Thurs 97, Fri 94, then 86, 81.
now it's about 86 inside
It gets cooler late at night just before morning, goes down to about 70. I closed the window and shades all day, and will open up when it gets cooler outside than inside, maybe at about 10pm.
AC is unusual in homes in most of France. I lived in the south in an old stone house and you just shut the shutters all day, and the open up at night til some time in the morning and then shut again all day.
I have a few old flimsy summer dresses that I hardly wear-too flimsy for work. they are almost all WAY too tight. that is a real reality check. I don't know when I've last had that experience. reality check

Heather It's only right. That poor shopwoman was bedazzled, but must make it right for your husband.1

Heather and Lanette My childhood home in Nebraska had a yard full of beautiful stately elms which provided the most lovely shade in the summertime. By the 1980's they were all gone. Canadian and US scientists have successfully cloned trees resistant to Dutch Elm disease from trees that survived the epidemic. There are 3 or 4 commercially available cultivars. One of them is an American Elm cultivar named 'Valley Forge'. I don't remember the others, but they all have patriotic names.4

Karen in VA - thank you for that info!!! I don't know if they do well out here in the Pacific NW but I will check. Of course I'd be 90 by the time they are stately, lol.2

Heather - well done on your husband for pursuing the issue. Bet dollars to donuts that's something you taught him.
Meg - so glad to see you posting! The baker's cyst sounds like no fun at all, but really glad you're getting the A1C back down where it ought to be.
I used my lunch hour to mow the front yard and part of the back and side yards after our flash flood weekend here. There are still mini-rivers running down part of the back acreage, and it can't be mowed without getting the mower stuck, or cutting the ground up horribly, but it's also why Corey's garden is doing so well. He blanched, cooled and froze at least ten servings of green beans that he picked in between the rain showers, as well as put up onions and garlic to dry. We've also had new potatoes twice straight from the garden, quite yummy, and will cut some up and crisp them and add them to the taco meat for tonight's dinner. My fig tree (well, my choice of tree, I don't plant things, he does) has baby figs all over it, and most of his other fruit trees are thriving. Hopefully everything will survive the summer.
Kinda sick of rain... as are all of us in the central U.S., I think!
My daughter keeps sending me ultrasounds over Facebook. Last one was a video of the ultrasound. I never could see those hidden images in those weird images where you have to unfocus your eyes to see them, either. I just make cooing noises and send heart emojis. I am a bad grandma.
Oh, well. I'll love it when it arrives, but hopefully it's a little less bloblike by that point.
Which reminds me, Rebecca, Athena is a cutie-patootie!
Love y'all,
Back to work,
Lisa in AR5 -
