The setup for our monthly discussion and the UAC pages is faithfully designed and created by Jessica, our law firm administrator. Jessica has worked with me for over 20 years. This afternoon, she told me that she had posted the February UAC. So, show your thanks to Jessica by clicking the link below and signing up for Valentine's Month.

Nicely done Jessica! 👏 And as always, @RangerRickL, thank you for providing this challenge.bold_rabbit wrote: »
Now if only they would cover my GERD medicine ... that stuff is $209 each month!

Yikes! My brother uses the Good Rx App for his medicine which brings the cost down by A LOT. You might want to check it out if you have not heard of it.3 -

I am glad I went over calories yesterday. I had the best night sleep. Unfortunately I don’t sleep as well when I am dieting. I am having a much lower calorie day today & I am closing my diary. I had planned to start an extended fast after lunch, but I didn’t eat breakfast so I pushed it to 3:30.5 -

Exercise, yes a 54 minute walk with my girl Penny Lane. We tackled a couple of hills and she was able to rub noses with her boyfriend Max on the way home (he's a German Shepherd and they've been friends for about 5 years).
Calories, yes easily under by the calories of my walk, so about 300
Tracked, yes no problem there
I'm leaving for San Francisco Friday night about 5 pm and will be home again on Monday. I've saved 2 pass days for this trip so we'll see how that goes.
I was dizzy again today, most of the day, so I'm looking forward to the appointment with the ENT on Feb 3. I keep thinking the vertigo is gone but then it creeps back in...........very insidious!4 -

Pass day. I'm not doing too well on exercise, calories or logging, but I'm still posting and not crashing out. I also suffer from insomnia, 5 hours without waking up is pretty good for me. Just learned that GERD is an illness. I always thought it was just my liver responding to too much fat, like Full English Breakfast, I love it, but literally cannot stomach the bacon, or coffee or too many glasses of red wine. I had lengthy jaundice as a child, then bug-caused hepatitis after working in Spain, so I always thought it was just a weak liver. Now I find out it's a disease for which there is expensive medication, other than Rennies? @bold_rabbit and @LisaPower1236 -
Yes, yes, yes: 60-minute HIIT class3
-
Exercise: yes.
Calories within goal: nope. My friend offered onion rings at dinner & naturally I said yes. Then tracked them later & found it was so not worth the calories. Plus, my stomach fells awful like a grease pit.
Tracked: yes
Pass day # 4....sniff

Usually I drink wine with dinner but I've started having my workout nights be non-drinking nights. This week they were back to back days so it was nice to have an alcohol break for two nights in a row. Gonna try to keep up the healthier habit on gym days.5 -
