    Good morning Supermodels!

    PIP - crossing fingers Floyd's ultrasound proves nothing serious and that it looks worse than it is.

    TERRI - love that poster. Very true.

    I was reading an article in the latest AARP circular about brain health, it said the best thing a person can do for her brain is dance! So all of you line dancers will be dancing for decades. Sharp as tacks. 😀 I wonder if doing the "swim" while waiting for the washing machine to finish counts, lol.

    Low carb eating going well here. Have lost a few pounds, mostly water weight I'm sure, but nonetheless feeling trimmer=bloating gone. Also a big surprise....blood pressure way down. Lets see if this trend continues.

    Make it a fabulous day! Welcome new peeps! 💕

    On Thermostats ...

    A number of years ago, I was the cold one who wanted the heat up, and my husband was warm and wanted it cooler. We would settle on 20C (68F) and I wore layers.

    Then I went into perimenopause and I'm always slightly warm to raging fires of hell hot. Then he had the brain injury and now he's cold much of the time. We've continued with on 20C (68F) and he wears layers.


    Oh, except on warm days in summer ... on those days we just let it be. Whatever it is outside, that's what it can be inside. :)

    :) One of my favorite pieces of technology that we own is a programmable thermostat for our furnace/heat pump. I go to sleep in a cool house and wake up to a warm one. On extra warm afternoons in the summer, the house cools down. I am in charge of the programming. :)

    Went out for my 5k run in the PERFECT weather. Sunny, B) chilly, no wind. :D There was someone swimming in the sea and a paddleboarder. Checked out my bluetooth earbuds, but failed to get one to work.
    Then I reviewed our next cruise online and, on the back of that, I listened to the Hardanger fiddle and looked at Hardanger embroidery. :D
    Then I watched the first episode of an American journey through Alaska and Canada. Really good about pollution and drugs. :o:'(:s
    This morning I finished my tedious copying and pasting, so now I have a Word document where I can continue to write a rough draft of my memoir. I'm currently at the age of 12.

    Easy fish dinner tonight, but the dancing is cancelled.

    Welcome Susan. You will certainly pick up some tips if you stick with us. I also had a hysterectomy. Best thing I ever did.
    Is there a reason why you can't get your step count up? Of course there are a myriad other ways to burn calories!

    Sorry Pip for your troubles with your pups. You have had a lot going on recently. :'( I decided a long time ago that I couldn't cope with the grief of losing them. So no pets for me. But I know how devoted and loving you are. <3

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Felicia - Congratulations on applying for the new job. I know it takes some guts! If you get it, it might be an idea to read THE IMPOSTER CURE by Dr Jessamy Hibberd, my DDIL. :D Well done for being head hunted. <3

    The BBC has cancelled one of our favourite shows just to show all the Brexit b....y nonsense. Grrrrrr! Hate the lot of them.

    Snowflake: Thanks for your good wishes. :star:

    Barbara: I have done just as you suggest and stood in the hot shower, but not as often as you recommend. I’ll see if I can do it more often. :flowerforyou:

    Sue: DS and DDIL arrive 10/30. I hope to heaven that I’m over this sinus infection before they get here. :heart:

    Pip: You are lucky to have a friend who is willing to care for your old dogs while you are away. We’ve had a dog sitter when traveling in the past and she was a perfect solution for us. I left word with the vet in advance that she had permission to bring him in. She did and all turned out well. Sending good wishes your way. :star:

    Rori: Enjoy your instantpot binge. Having great meals frozen and waiting to be used is a grand thing. :bigsmile:

    Susan E WA: Welcome! My best advice is to let MFP set your calorie goals. It will start you out at a level of calories based on your current weight and will gradually reduce your allowed calories as you lose weight. It is a great system. If you go over on a particular day, don’t be discouraged. Just keep doing the best you can. Think about the story of the Tortoise and the Hare if you get to wishing it would go faster. You know who wins. :heart:

    Felicia: Great to see your post! Did MFP give you a new name? :huh:

    I am home from visiting DD and family with a nasty sinus infection. I went to the doctor who advised that I take over the counter antihisitmines. They’re working to an extent, but I have a painful sinus on the right side. Drink liquids, take OTC meds, rest. I can do this.

    No. I changed it while you were gone because of something I am involved in with work -- not related to the job application. I need to be anonymous on social media, and with my unusual first name (thanks a lot, Dad), I am easily googled.

    I hope you feel better, Katla. And I am glad you had a nice visit.

    Thanks, Heather. I may check out her book. The job announcement first came to my email a little over a month ago -- very general, mass-email kind of thing, and I looked at it and thought, "Oh, ____ is leaving?? Wow. She will be missed." Delete. Move on. So I was some what startled to get the personalized "Dear Dr. ___ " email addressed specifically to me with a request to talk. :astonished:

    Kim: I hope your neighbor’s daycare child gets the help it needs to feel better. Pretty scary. My admiration goes out to those who are willing to provide quality care to other people’s kids. Your neighbor is one of my heroes. :heart:

    Vicki GI NE: I haven’t seen your posts in a while and it is great to see you again. I spent the past week with DD and her family in IL and didn’t have WIFI so I’ve been out of touch. I logged every day on my phone so I didn’t skip any days but I couldn’t access the internet or this group. I hope to see your posts often. :bigsmile:

    Felicia: Good luck to you. I hope you have the outcome that you want and /or need from this surprise opportunity. :star:

    I went to the grocery store and stocked up enough food to last a few days. I’m in the backroom, aka office, with the humidifier. It has helped combat the sinus pain, but it isn’t gone altogether as of now. Every little bit helps! I'm trying to protect DH from my germ-ridden self.

    Been MIA for a week. Back at it. No weight loss, but no gain in my week of not reporting.
    Visited a boxing gym in a larger town yesterday and felt inspired.

    I would be motivated by him - LOL! Oh, no I am turning in to one of those ladies! Only joking. Sounds like fun and it's nice to be in a place that is comfortable to you while achieving your goals.

    And, no loss means no gain - so good all around!
