    I have read all but I'm getting into busy period and it's harder to take the time to respond abundantly.

    I tracked and kept on track almost all days in past 3 weeks or so exept the day before yesterday, and yesterday evening. But weight hasn't budged yet! :/ I had a work thing at home and we ended up eating together here. The colleague-friend had brought onions and potatoes ( :D ) in case we eat together and I made an omelet and he - some kind of potato stew - when guys cook they are often way heavy on the oil!
    well- no dessert and I didn't have wine. could we be worse. have to run today. long meeting shortly, live, outside of home.

    Everyone is wearing masks in public again. DH ordered some from amazon and likes them. I like the masks our friend made for us. <3

    3: Let go of self-criticism and speak to yourself kindly: as you would to the pooches or Joe ;)

    Kay ((hugs)) what a hard time. So glad you knew to tell them about the oxygen vs Percocet.
    Ginny relieved at the negative test. Brava for staying smoke-free!
    Barbie ((hugs)) and brava for trying to be cheerful about the long dental appointment. (ugh)
    Vicki safe travels! Hope your mini vacation is restful.
    Happy Birthday @NYPhotographer2021 Judy in Northern NY (not NYC) !

    Rita fingers Xd for today's appointment. Fourth graders, unk. I remember what a terror I was at that age. . .
    Carol fifth grade? I was even worse then. :naughty: Sorry to hear of your Covid exposure. Praying you were able to dodge the virus. Do you take Vitamin D supplements or zinc?
    Beth grateful the knee won’t need surgery, really grateful you insisted on attention and they are dealing with the blood clot. Scary stuff.
    Michele :laugh: Halelujah! Now that Vince is going for a walk, maybe Joe will get back on his bicycle? Is there a star in the east?

    Allie ((hugs)) know as a mom you’re worried about Tracy and Dan (and Tal), but please put some energy into caring for yourself.
    Annie lovely ride!
    Machka thanks for the yoga poses reminder. Such simple things to do for such great benefit.
    Heather thank you for the recap of your journey. The proof is in the carrying of tea things up narrow stairs over uneven groundcloths without touching freshly painted walls. Bravissima!

    Lovely happy hour, socially distanced at a picnic table overlooking the sea. Lots of healing laughter. Great gals.

    Time to snooze,
    Lighter, lovelies!

    Bravo Barbie! Courage is feeling the fear and doing it anyway. <3

    The painter has finished! Fabulous job and ridiculously cheap. Nicest man ever. I have provisionally booked him for next August to finish the landing and top stairs. DH said he might ask him earlier and pay for it if he can fit us in in the winter. I think DH must have taken our recent argument to heart as he offered to pay for the whole thing! :o<3 I insisted on paying the third I promised for this time.
    He always seems to need a bit of time for things to sink in. He is a good man.

    We moved the furniture back and put a different painting up. It all looks so lovely we don't want to cover the walls with pictures.
    Then I watered the geraniums, and swept the front porch and the garden path! It's amazing what a visitor will do for you. :p
    Now just to get the curry started before I set off.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Hi All. We just returned from 18 days of vacation, most of which was completely offline. That part was nice. The few pounds gained was not nice.

    However, because my knee didn't heel, I need to try something else to get it working again. So, I am in the market for an indoor exercise bike. For those who have them, any recommendations?

    Thanks!

    I use a real bicycle on a trainer. :) Our next move will likely be getting smart trainers ... eventually.

    But if I were going for something that is not a real bicycle, I'd get a spin bike. Not a stationary bike but one that "rides" like a fixed gear. A proper spin bike.

    Barbie – I am delighted that you survived your visit to the dentist. I hope your next visit is less stressful. Last year our neighbor recommended a dentist that is within walking distance of our house. We drive there in bad weather but walk if it is nice. We are very happy with her work. :star:

    Heather – Your entryway is lovely. I particularly like the stained-glass in your front door and side lights. The stained-glass hanging light is also delightful. :heart:

    Tina – We have two terra-trykes in the garage on trainers. (No car enters our garage because it is full.) The front wheels are locked and the back wheel does the work of exercise. The gym where I go has stationary bikes that track calories. I like to ride for about a half an hour. :smiley:

    Rebecca – I hope your DH is doing well. How long does it take to get there from Whidbey Island? :flowerforyou:


    Our weather this morning is lovely. Have a great day!

    I would get a trainer for my bike, but the bike is big and heavy and I want something quieter that is easy to move around. Someday, I'm hoping to make a little "gym" area in the house, but it likely won't be soon.

    We left at 4:15 am then before we got off the island, our check tires light went off. So it was looking for gas stations with air. On our second one we scored. It was only 49' so the wheels just needed more air. We arrived UW of Medicine hospital at about 6:15 am. Only had to wait for 15 minutes until we could start all the testing. Done by 8 am and now we wait, until 12 to have lunch, then main appointment is at 2 pm. Lee's in the car sleeping and will come fetch me at 12 noon. I'm in a comfy chair, never can sleep in our car. I end up just watching him sleep!
    Long day! Husband is doing great though.

    I use one of my older road bicycles on my trainer. It's not that comfy outside but works well inside.

    Yes my cousin used to have Labor Day picnics, but I haven't been invited for several years now. It would be awkward anyway because her politics are different and she doesn't keep it quiet. Life goes on, and these things come and go. Come to think of it, I never invited her to my house. We lived two hours away.

    On the good side I walked 24 minutes. On the bad side, I gained another pound. I've lost seven pounds since I started MFP a couple years back. I seem to be on more of a maintenance diet.

    picked up daycare girl at school then stopped for a little picnic lunch at the nice park on the way home- she had a "C" lunch(just happened that way)Colby cheese, crackers, cucumbers and cantaloupe. I had 1 oz of Colby cheese and half a cantaloupe. Weather is perfect. I let her play with another little girl we met on Tuesday while I walked around the playground(had her in my sights the whole time-playground is not very big)-walked for over 30 min.
    I will be walking with my friend later tonight- miss walking with her every day.
