Well done Linda

I just wanted to share what maybe considered a non scale victory. When I saw the rheumatologist yesterday we were discussing how well my rheumatoid arthritis and sjogrens have been doing. One of the big reasons is my weight loss. Fat cells cause an inflammatory response. I didn’t know this. So now I have even more motivation to lose the next 60 pounds.3

I shared it in my Facebook page. Since we have Freya (my cat) we have been in the vet who knows how many times. Poor cat is quite unlucky and we have spent a tone of money for her. So I understand perfectly. I can not give any cent because I'm absolutely with no money but I will help in the ways I can.
Thank you so much! I'm sorry to hear your cat is unlucky. I hope her luck changes. Thank you for the share.1 -

I am so sorry about Mace. I hope you check in to give us an update on how he is doing. I am going to share your fundraiser. I hope you get the money you need to take care of him. I will carry your weight from last week over.
I just updated the fundraiser but here is current situation. Mace is home tonight but we have to get up early tomorrow to drive an hour away to a specialist. Fingers crossed it goes well.2 -

@wbs2020 - I'm so sorry for the loss of your furbaby. I lost both of my cats about two years ago. I'd had them from the day they were born 23 years ago. Still loved; still missed. The sadness does get easier with time. Feeling blessed I had them in my life ... that stays!!
@lindamtuck2018 - it's great you were able to spend family time together. I was able to spend several hours last Friday with my daughter. It was wonderful getting my hugs. I've really missed getting/giving lots of hugs (since early March lockdown). Hey!!! Really Great NSV!!
@mari_moulin - It sounds like you're getting quite the workout getting ready to move!! Hang in There!!2 -

You have another busy day. I need to make myself a detailed task list daily. I might get more done that way.1 -
Wednesday’s check in
Calories: under
Exercise: 43 minute walk
Water: ✅
Steps 7/22 10,737
I still haven’t got to my walk this morning. I find if I don’t do it right away it is hard to get motivated later in the day. As soon as I finish my coffee I will do it. What do you do get get motivated at the start of the day?
Today’s goals
1. Walk 30 minutes minimum
2. 10,000 steps
3. Stay within calorie goal
4. Drink 8 cups of water
5. Bed by 10:30 pm1 -
@lindamtuck2018 I keep a master to-do list on my frig, add things as needed, check them off when done. I do Love checking them off. LOL Anyway, I revise and republish a new list each weekend. At the start of each day, I decide which 3-4 items MUST get done that day and that becomes my short list. If I get / make time to do others, they are a bonus.
I tried just keeping it on the computer ... but that makes it too easy to ignore ... and I frittered away my day without accomplishing anything. On the Frig though, it's there for me to see many times throughout the day.1 -
