Just a quick scan through before bedtime.
Lisa: up to 6000 steps! WTG!

Still feeling tons better. I'm really feeling impatient because I can't lift full laundry baskets or run the vacuum cleaner yet, and I have looked round my house and seen dirt in the corners and WANT so much to just get right after it now that I can breathe properly. But I am trying to be sensible about this. I just have sat on my butt so much with pain and fatigue in the course of my life that any time I have energy I want to be Doing Things!
I will see how I feel tomorrow and maybe try wiping the kitchen down and see how that feels on the incision. If it doesn't bother it, then I'll clear myself for house dusting, if not vac/sweeping/mopping.6 -
Weather is perfect- went out and finished pruning the raspberries and roses, transplanted a couple small hydrangeas (their wine barrel planter fell apart and should have been replaced last year, finally did it).
I need to dig up some of the raspberries that are coming up where I don't want them- will transplant them to mom's house

Debbie- I also have the progressive lenses that arent dark enough so had to buy sunglasses that go over my glasses.
Thank you for the thoughts about my uncle.. love him to pieces he is my dads only brother,and my mom only had one brother.. so he is the last of that generation ..
We had so many wonderful times together and i will cherish the memories2 -
Got a flat right near the end and felt kinda flat throughout the ride.
The glasses I'm wearing here are progressive lenses with "auto tint" or whatever it's called. They go dark in the sunshine and go clear inside.
I've had glasses like that for years but this time, I went with larger lenses. I really like them for driving, walking, cycling, etc.
Inside, I wear my desk glasses - close progressives which allow me to see things clearly at a closer distance while working at my computer.

Machka - My glasses are progressive & also self darkening in daylight or bright light. I think they’re wonderful. 😎 It sounds like you’re happy with yours, too. 😊2

There is a lot of research that shows that one of the keys to happiness and health is having strong connections to other people.
That's what this thread is about. We are a group of women who have joined together to support and encourage each other on our journey to health and fitness.
Please let us know a name we can call you and a location either specific or general to make it easier to get to know each other.
Be sure to bookmark this thread so you can find it again.
My one word theme for 2022 is "continue". I have built many good habits over the years and this year I want to focus on continuing them.

The reason most people fail instead of succeed is that they trade what they want the MOST for what they want at the MOMENT.

20 Ways to Stress Less and Enjoy Life
https://xenlife.com.au/20-ways-stress-less-enjoy-life/
"Stress is toxic to your body and mind. If it’s not addressed right away, it may lead to more serious problems affecting you physically and psychologically. Stress has two main causes; internal and external. Internal causes may include struggling with yourself, thinking about something too much or thinking negatively, while external causes might include stress from your surrounding environment, workplace issues and negative people surrounding you."

Morning all.
Barbie: Purrrrr …..
@badmcfad Miele failte 😄
Pip: Doctor? I suggest sooner rather than later.
Debbie: Getting back into the garden is so therapeutic. Enjoy! 👓 I’ve worn progressive reactives for years. Most useful.
Machka: 👍🏻 Great article. I use all twenty strategies, and then some! 😂 I would recommend ‘Awakening the Giant Within’ (Anthony Robbins) My copy is well thumbed. Recognising and dealing with stress is so important

Machka you accomplish more on a low energy day than I do in a normal energy week!
Allie that video sounds like a lovely and heartfelt gift to your uncle.
Julie SMH about that repair place trying to dodge their responsibility. Never give an inch!
Barbie “. . .want to be a cat” hahahahaha.
Debbie about sauteeing mushrooms with wine, here, sometimes, the wine actually makes it into the pan!
Welcome @LittleTeapot3 and @badmcfad !Would you let us know what you’d like to be called and your general locale?
Lisa belated best wishes for a happy National Veterans Girls Rise day to you and all you gals who stepped up. Thank you for your service. (Thought I posted this from my phone, but pffft)
NSV At dog group was reminded how when I first started, I had to cut the pack walk short by half as was too out of breath to continue. Somehow gradually it’s improved and I can now walk the whole thing. I’m slow and usually trailing along behind, but not stopping. So Sue is right. Believe in your capacity to change.
Lighter, lovelies!

2022: Be still and listen.

Morning, afternoon and evening, y'all,
Barbara AHMOD- Thank you for telling me about that national day to honor women veterans. In all honesty, I've never seen it before. Congrats on the NSV! Fitness can kind of sneak up on you...
Heather - Hope the ankle is getting better by the minute.
Welcome to those who are new, we're glad you're here!
Allie - glad news on the medical front has been better, and that you liked the possum metaphor.
All my favorite domestic sounds are swooshing, clanking, or gurgling as the case may be. Pulled all removables from the stovetop and put them in the dishwasher, then sprayed the entire stovetop with degreaser and left it sit. Last night was BLTs (well, BL for me, I wouldn't eat a tomato on a bet). No matter what you do, cooking bacon will cover everything with a film of grease.
Time to swap Corey's work clothes from the washer to the dryer and decide whether or not I want to go to Walmart. There are a few things I want, but honestly, nothing that I can't live without today. Cardiologist tomorrow morning, and x-rays once I'm done with him, then blood work. If I'm not too worn out from all that, I can stop at Wally-world on the way back. I think I shall do just that. Save gas, save the environment, save my energy.
Hope everyone has or had a peaceful Sunday.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR3
