    Ok, so some really good news.... The treadmill repair tech called (just got off the phone) and it sounds like he will be able to fix the problems. He is going to call the company in the morning, and see about ordering the parts that I already discussed with Life Fitness, that I might need. Anyway, there is the possibility of free shipping! No promise of it, but the possibility. It (of course) is going to be more $ than I planned; but, nowhere near as expensive as replacing the actual treadmill. I am very grateful and happy. :):)

    Oops, for 11/3, I did not make my eating time goal of 9 p.m.


    Nice! Two days in a row getting decent sleep. Looks like you are coming close to your goal of stop eating. Are you doing intermittent fasting or just want to close the kitchen at 9?

    It was a lovely day yesterday and I enjoyed going to the park nearby and taking a long walk. I'm trying many new foods and I bought some goji berries. They are considered a superfood and have some nutrients that help with several health issues including macular degeneration which I have the beginnings of. They are actually quite yummy and filling so I was happy that I tried them.

    I hope everyone has a great day! :)

    Great job meeting those goals. I will have to try those berries. I am not a fan of berries but you never know. I hope your macular degeneration slows.

    I am excited to look at apartment buildings. I have a feeling that the one we are going to view this afternoon will be the one. It looks beautiful from the pictures on their website and it has 2 bathrooms. They also would let us move in early so we wouldn’t be moving on New Year’s Eve. Another plus is my hubby works for this company. He is a construction worker and he worked on the apartment building from start to finish.

    My diabetic check was bittersweet. My blood glucose control overall is amazing. The sad part is the damage I have done by not taking care of myself all those years. The neuropathy is from my diabetes and poor blood glossed control over the years. The nerve pain will not get better but now it is a story of pain management. I want everyone to know this because if it helps just one person from being in this position in 10 years from now I will be happy. Being overweight and inactive is a contributing factor in developing type 2 diabetes. I sound like a public service announcement.

    I have finally convinced my husband to move. The apartment building has gone downhill since the new management has taken over. Tomorrow we are going to view apartments. I have some scheduled and I am hoping to get a few more today. Some companies you have to view virtually due to COVID-19. I am excited about this! We want to move by December 31st.


    Have a terrific Hump Day!

    Weekly goals

    3. Sleep 7.5 hours daily

    Yay! for your glucose control. The important thing is that you are in control now and there will not be any further nerve damage. Hopefully, you and your doctor will find the right treatment plan for your neuropathy to minimize the pain and disruption of everyday activities. This is a big area for research, maybe one day they will have more options then pain meds. I happy you convinced your husband to move. The daily stress of being there is not good for your overall well-being.

    I put dried goji berries on my yogurt. You might also like to try Acai berry. I use it in either a powder or frozen form in my smoothies.

    I am trying hard to be compassionate to myself for the weight I gained over the last 2 months and put it behind me.

    Linda, you are doing great! I have the same goal of not letting the number on the scale sabotage my efforts going forward. It's hard not to look backwards at previous progress we've made. Just keep focus on the future. Your non scale achievement of lowering your glucose with your diet is a tremendous success. :)

    I almost forgot. I am weighing in a day early as I may be going staying at my daughters tonight and I won’t have access to a scale.

    Thursday Weigh Day

    This is probably a little deceiving. I did a lower body workout yesterday with squats and lunges. Today my butt and thigh muscles are SCREAMING sore. I was a couple pounds lighter earlier in the week so I may be holding on to some water for muscle repair. I'm actually pretty stoked about staying on track, with both food and exercise, for the last week (even if the scale doesn't show it today.

    @tazaria87 that is a very motivating post - thank you!
    @littleflutterby @lelbarou I lost two pounds overnight by not having any bread etc. My knee was hurting bad enough to keep me from walking far, and that pain is gone, as well. I don't know why I keep "forgetting" that I just can't eat those things. It seems like I very slowly slip back into those habits. Thanks for sharing that you have the same issues..I am going to try to think of it as allergies.

    It is surprising how many steps you get buzzing around the house. I was shocked this morning when I synced my Fitbit. The only time I left the apartment was to take out the garbage.

    Definitely sounds like water retention. I am so proud of you for staying track.
