Thank you @everydaywechoose & @77tes!😂🤣😂
Well @77tes, back in 2016, I set my goal at BMI of 25 for a 5’9” woman. 169.
And the hardest part of losing was leaning I was now 5’8.5” and had to lose another 5. Really tough to be targeting 168.9 🤣😂🤣 and then have to rally for another 5.
Then I realized I had more to lose. Got down to 156.5 average.
So, basically, I did it before, I’m
Optimistic that I can do it again.
It helps that I just re-read the importance of kidney donor being > 75% of recipients weight. And my donor is teensy but muscular. So maybe 120?? So 150 for me might be a good approach
I love all the songs & stories. I decided I needed to focus on art, diet, and sentimental decluttering. We spoke to a contractor today about some major repairs on our home.
I’m even more inspired now to give away much more… less to love, store etc as they work… I’m a little overwhelmed, but one step at a time
Best, 🌸Maddie5 -
@MadisonMolly2017 that’s fascinating about kidney donor size. 😮2

@TerriRichardson112 , I hadn't heard the song "Terry," but it reminds me of "The Leader of the Pack." I think both songs were from 1964.2

They were both out around the same time and I liked them both. I was a bit of a biker chick in those days 😂1 -

Day 18 - song from the year I was born. The number one song was “Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White” by Perez Prada, the King of Mambo. I had never heard of it, but I definitely recognized the tune. Number two was Rock Around the Clock.2

@77tes, thank you for the reminder of Israel Kamakawiwo’ole‘s rendition of Over the Rainbow. Such a lovely remake of this great song. Pretty sure there’s a ukulele in my future. So happy you’re putting in your retirement papers!
@jamcnewman, I’m glad you downloaded BitGym! It’s been so helpful to me. I’ve always been a regular exerciser, but now I enjoy it so much more because I get to walk through and cycle through these beautiful, exotic locations. And it’s also helping me deal with all the darkness. Every evening I spend 20 to 30 minutes cycling in a warm and sunny place. Sometimes the beach, sometimes another locale. But always someplace warm and sunny. Last night it was the turquoise pools in the limestone valleys of Wadi Shab, Oman. Getting a 20 to 30 minute sunshine break at night makes a big difference. The light lamp also helps.4 -

Frank Sinatra’s “Young at Heart” is one of my favorites and one of my go to songs when I need a pick me up. I couldn’t agree more with the sentiments of the song! I’ve been playing it on my guitar which makes it extra special.
Hope you enjoy it!

Day 21 - I’ll Take You Hime Again Kathleen - it’s a family favorite.
@themedalist Young at Heart is a fun song.
Here’s my tracker- working hard on those essays
