    Played outside with JR after dinner he said shoe hurt over y over.At first thought yeah kicking a hard soccer ball ⚽️ hard as you can probably hit a toe. Then took his shoes off y sick y shoe area red realized he grew! Show hurts cause he jumped 2sizes no wonder I had trouble with the Velcro! So ran to Walmart just got home in the pitch dark after looking for new socks y shoes. Finding ones his size with Velcro are hard y exspensive! Got him some to grow into also kids 12/13/y an adult or teen 1. Wider ankle socks more room to them.

    Favorite sport? Is mowing the lawn and keeping up with the outside flowers and foliage a sport? I just love it when my yard is freshly cut, it looks so nice. I push mow it and we have a fairly big yard for living in town. It takes me 45 minutes non stop to mow, then another hour to weed eat. I get boxed in the winter with nothing to do outside.

    SuziQ I can almost smell those roses!
    Lisa so sorry for your and Corey's loss. Glad Corey has that physical, log sawing outlet . . . and you have the benefit of the firewood.
    Machka sleep sweet, you deserve as much rest as you can get.
    JenniferM, 82 degrees? Do you have a swimming option?
    Michele did they use a machine to take your BP, or the old fashioned cuff with bulb/pump? Mine skyrockets on the machine but is just fine when the nurse uses the cuff. Wish I could fall asleep during either … ;)
    Tracey your weather reminds me forcibly why we left Idaho. ConVERYgrats on the big order! Will you do the craft fair this year too?
    Tina in CA sending thoughts of clarity, strenght and peace to you. Best wishes.
    Welcome serevogel0724, love the pic!
    Carol your description of the air fried potatos, and plans for roasted/airfried vegs are inspiring me to consider a Ninja Foodi slow cooker/pressure cooker/dehydrator/air fryer combo as my Christmas Wish. Does anyone have one?
    Welcome Jennifer in TX !
    Terri Wow! I can feel Jack Frost's bitter hand. Very vivid. Thank you!
    Heather, smiling dancing legend. Hooray!
    Ginny in OH, love the chair. Good luck with your meeting, congregational meetings can be tricky... and looong... ;}

    Favorite activities:
    Line dancing
    Walking
    Playing in the dirt

    Thanks to dog group, line dancing, and many outings with new pooch, broke the 10K step barrier for the first time in many moons. Pooped.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Running 5ks, Swing Dancing.

    Those are the ones I love and actually do regularly. :D

    The ones I love and do very occasionally (on the cruises) are Line Dancing, Ballroom Dancing, Swimming. <3

    The ones I do because I have to do something regularly are walking, stationary rower, recumbent bike, elliptical, weight training, yoga.
    I used to love yoga because I loved the teacher and the group. Haven't found one like it in Hove. :'(

    Strangely the running is easier for me than walking, which I have never found easy.

    I would go dancing more often, but DH wouldn't be keen. I will look for a Line Dancing class locally, but they rarely are on at suitable times for me. My mornings are all busy already.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx who may go for a run this afternoon :p

    Barbara - I was thinking about getting the Ninja last night. I need to get more info on it. I have held off on an IP but maybe now I’ll take the plunge. I too am interested to see if anyone else has experience with it.

    400+ posts on this thread since my post last week!


    Of course I just skimmed. I tried to answer if someone wrote to me. If I missed it it's not intentional.
    Otherwise I read quite randomly over the 10+ pages.

    @barbiecat Thanks for the welcome back.

    @cityjaneLondon how it higher range of BMI better for the bones? How is that related to scraggy? baking morning looks fun and creative.

    @GodMomKim cutting back on sugar should help with yeast-related issues.

    @KetoneKaren congratulations on the baby!

    @auntiebk thank you for the welcome back! interesting about the mushrooms

    @ginnytez thanks for the welcome back. your progress on house things sounds great.

    @Machka9 congratulations on enrolling for the fall.

    @lhcapil I like your healthy habits list

    @1948Peachy BMI and WL path is partly relative. I'm heavier than I have been in decades.

    @OregonMother Will you be able to get the coverage back again? I think if you leave something like that box, at some level you want it to be read.

    Hi to everyone else.

    BMI- As I said last week, I'm on the high side of recommended BMI. The calculator I just looked at said I'm at 24.5. (They vary). I feel quite lumpy in the middle with this weight. it goes to my waist which is not recommended...I've gone up from about 55k to 60-61k in the last 3 years or so. a gain of about 10% more than the past decades and most of my life, so I really feel it. When I was last around such a weight I was quite young 20s or early 30s and very athletic and muscular. So really my BMI is by far highest ever for me and I am not at ease with it. I googled after reading some of your comments and did find that higher BMI may be linked to better longevity. The studies deal with people over 65 and I am 56 though. It's food for thought. (Pun not really intended, but acknowledged.) My female GP probably over 55 said that it's too much work to stay slim at an older age for most people, and to accept the extra 5k is better for most, otherwise one needs to focus so much on not eating and on getting lots exercise. I was naturally very physically active till around 40 or so. My older sister (around 64) is quite physically active. We spent a few days together last month. She left me a note in the morning: "5am going for a swim, 6 am going to the qi kong session found online in the park, 7 am going to grocery store". She's more overweight than me (used to be obese in her mid 30s to mid 50s), but physical activity is a must for her and always has been. She often uses lunch break at work for a 'necessary' walk and eats a sandwich at her desk while working. She's not at all appearance-focused compared to most, but really does focus on health.

    Time Change: I missed it this year. I was in a plane with 6h time change. I didn't realise the time change had already happened (here in October, while I was in the air) until yesterday. They are going to end time change in Europe in 2020 or 2021. Each country chooses whether to keep summer or winter time. It's never been a big deal for me. I like the extra hour of sleep or whatever in fall and I have done ok in spring. I used to be a real morning person, so I was always up long before work anyway. My work schedule is staggered and changes from semester to semester and year to year. If they stick to summer hours here- which seems likely- on December 21 the sun will rise at 9:41. I start some classes at 8:30, so that means 1h of teaching in pitch black times. The kids are already not great at all getting to class on time at the 8:30 sessions. Some have an hour commute. The very late summer evenings are pleasant though, and very good for socialising and going out. (10pm sunset on June 21). I wager priority will be given to the latter : enjoying spring and summer evenings, as opposed to easier morning wake ups. It's not an early morning culture here at all. The earliest gyms open at 7 am. A 7:30 meeting or early morning breakfast meeting is unheard of. I believe I've never been to a meeting here that started before 9 am. 9 am is probably the usual starting time for work. some start at 8:30 -that would be the earliest for a normal job, usually for service oriented (reception, etc), and many can start as late as 10 am : in cultural fields, computer fields and finish at 6pm (normal finishing time) or 7pm. if you meet friends to eat out, 8pm would be a usual time to meet. Most restaurants traditionally don't serve meals (and many are closed) if you arrive between 2pm and 7pm! Though that is changing, and they often have some snack options. They serve if you arrive from 12 to 2 and from 7 to 9:30 or 10 pm.

    I am so tired/lazy. I am teaching 23 contact hours per week this semester in higher ed. (a normal full time is about 12 hours, allowing for prep, research, correction, etc.). Since I get adjunct pay we need to do many more hours. And still that doesn't make ends meet so I accepted 2 translations that overlapped. That was really too much. One was not bad and the other was not well written and I had some major computer issues at the same time and it was just before I was going away for a week. I gave the 1st one an estimate and didn't hear back. In that case I figure they found someone cheaper or whatever. That happens maybe 1 out of 3 or 4 times. Then someone else asked me to do a bigger one less of a rush. So I said ok. Then the 1st one got back to me. The 1st one was rather well-written. The 2nd one was complex to translate, and the contact person was a bit unpleasant.

    So I was working most weekends and some evenings for about 6 weeks or so. Now I feel like just collapsing and staying in bed and watching videos or websurfing when I have a day off.

    I have much to do: have to send lawyer some info after meeting last Friday. (He is great and I am luck to have him.)

    Place is disorder

    Need to go over class files and prep some.

    Answer some colleagues about work.

    Admin stuff.

    Rental apartment stuff.

    The quantity of stuff to do makes me feel overwhelmed and makes me want to do nothing.
    I'm so glad we have tomorrow off. Monday is my longest teaching day: 5x 1.5h classes with big numbers.

    I'm a bit whiny! I need to get to gym today before it closes. (only open 9-5 on Sundays!)
    Really need to clean some.
    And start on lawyer stuff to get that out of the way.

    Tomorrow I can do school-related stuff: mails, prep, organisation, etc.
    And rental apartment-related stuff...

    weight today: 60.8k (high for me!)

    Food so far: 166 calories : 15 g carbs, 15 g fat, 9 g protein (GF soy-rice-chestnut bread, soy yogurt, squash seeds, a trickle of maple syrup

    activity so far: none whatsoever

    I'm really not big on running any more! I ran from 16 to 20 a bit (not extremely) then started to have back or knee issues - I don't remember which. I noticed that just about everyone who ran regularly including very young people had back or knee issues so I stopped till around 46 or so, when I started hanging out w an ex-marathon runner and still half-marathon runner and started going for regular little jogs. Then after a few years about a year ago I started having minor foot issues and then knee issues (meniscus) this summer when hiking. I used to dance quite a bit from about age 45-48 or so with a lot of jumping. I ran into a colleague who was a dancer and she has major issues in her feet and shoulder and I think it must be related to lots of dancing and jumping. Now I have to take care even in not walking too much in a row! annoying!

    The Legendary John and Heather- Whoot! Love the pic! B)
    Vicki in WI- I got a giggle out of your question " is mowing the lawn a sport?" Other than walking, this is my most frequent "summer sport". Yard tending. Big yard so mowing (push mower with no power drive) took about two-two and a half hours. Do I enjoy it? Not particularly; but it is a huge calorie burner. With winter rearing it's head, I have sent my mower to the shed and pulled out my shovels. Shoveling my driveway is my big calorie burner for the winter. Michigan girl, here.
    Favorite sport/exercise- Well, I love to be outdoors, so walking, hiking are big ones because they can be done year round. I love swimming. Weight gain and injuries have me sidelined from running (which I enjoy more than walking; endorphins). I have never been big on bike riding; but I do love skating. Roller skates and ice skates.
    My calorie burners for the day will be emptying the small sandbox (holds about 300 lb of sand) and storing that and the playhouse in the shed, cleaning out the eves/gutters on the house (we only have them on the front) and decorating and hanging the large (60" diameter) wreath on the house. If I am really ambitious, I will get the lights hung as well. We shall see. So...I better cut the chit chat and get a move on. ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)
