    Went to YM this morning. The regular teacher was there so I got to participate and not teach, so much more fun. Need to see if I can get smallest pasture spread with lime tomorrow. It has been a very dry, dusty fall so far. We could use some rain.

    Happy birthday Rosemarie.

    Rebecca - glad you are feeling better.

    Karen - you are doing awesome on your project.

    Everyone take care, Sue in WA

    made my phone appointment with the wellness coach- My doctor recommended it when I told her about all the exercising I am doing/ tracking calories and not loosing any weight. Then, got my lab work results. Cholesterol is 286(has always run high, even way back when I weighed 95lbs), A1C is 5.8(up from 5.5 a year ago), so more reason to figure out how to take care of all these issues.
    I want to see if I can lower those numbers on my own with diet/exercise instead of going on meds, if I can, but if not, I will try there way.
    Walked my 5 miles around the wetlands again today. Saw a flock of wild canaries up close today. So cute.
    So many different birds- dad would love walking there with me.
    I need to bring binoculars with me one day to see them better.
    As of now, not walking with anyone tonight.
    Back to only one night a week with zumba(getting dark too early for us to do it at the park that isn't lit). Will push my friends to walk more often while we can but also keep doing my wetlands walk 4 days a week while waiting for Ezie to get out of school.

    Still skimmin’. Stats updates just have to wait. Frenzied cleaning yesterday, today, and whatever can get done tomorrow morning before company arrives. Joe’s tried to be helpful, and he has, but there have been some less than loving conversations as I’m snappish when mid-cleaning frenzy and take not well to helpful suggestions, or even honest communication. :rage: The NSVs were getting back to PT yesterday and today, and taking time out for line dancing tonight.

    Ginny would your endocrinologist explore other ways to replenish the calcium in your bones? Weight bearing exercise, calcium/magnesium, and/or ???
    Barbie aha! Now why didn’t I think of that ;) Happy birthday wishes to Jake.
    Heather con VERY grats on finishing that tax return.
    Rebecca how awful. Have you update the MD? Might need a closer look…
    Rita too many overcast days give me the blues too. ((hugs))
    Welcome @7823star!
    Margaret “…So even though I am listening to the program to improve DrewB health I do think it is getting me to address some of my own bad habits” Brilliant!
    Michele I just hate it when I go off plan and then the treat turns out to be not-so-good.
    Annie brava for getting back on the exercise track.
    Heather and Karen ((hugs))
    Belated best birthday wishes, Rosmarie!
    Carol if there’s pain associated with the popping sound in the hip might want to seek the advice of a PT. You could go for your knee pain and ask at the same time. PT has made a huge difference in my knee.
    Jeannie your Sisters on the Fly sound like a great group of gals.
    Karen “find myself eager to start each day and see what I can accomplish” I’ll try to borrow your attitude and shift away from chafing at/resenting/loathing house cleaning chores.
    Allie I love my Dyson stick vacuum but if Joe got me one for a present I wouldn’t like it so much. Never liked getting house cleaning tools for presents, far prefer wine, flowers, chocolates…
    Debbie praying the wellness coach can help you with lowering your cholesterol and a1C. Considering how healthily you eat and how much you exercise that cholesterol number is scary! Could it be the stress you live under? https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/stress-cholesterol-link

    Time to snooze. May be a few days before I check in again because of my friend visiting from Idaho.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    I had my birthday on Sunday and received some plants from people and my son and his wife came and cooked lunch. My DIL and I went out for a manicure. It was fun! Yesterday I went for a walk outside and loved this! Today I will be caretaking but hope to read and get a step video in.

    Happy Birthday!

    Thanks Barbie!

    I was the hostess for 40 women from all over the country coming in to see the balloon fiesta from September 29 until October 9. I ate out too much. But, we got everyone to see the balloons as much as they wanted to. The women’s camping group I belong to is called Sisters on the Fly.

    Now, I’m back on my strict diet or I should say lifestyle change plan. The scale only bumped up 2 pounds and I’m grateful it wasn’t more.

    Jeannie in Edgewood New Mexico.

    Nice!

    I lived in northern Alberta for a while and there were hot air ballooning championships, and generally balloons flying around a lot of the time.

    Tracey- The programme mainly focused on the city, which looked very lively. Are you far from there? Have you been on the old tram above the river? It was part of a series about a train journey across Canada. Yes, an absolutely HUGE country!

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I don't know if you read the story of my kidney stones on the previous page or the one before, but the city I was driving to, the city with the university and hospital, was Edmonton. :)

    Carol-hip popping can come from tendon issues (sort of like they catch). I had that for a while with left hip prior to replacement. I still need to be mindful of stretching. Also, with my hip issues I discovered my knee pain was really from the hips. Might not hurt to get both assessed.

    Barbara AHMOD-I plan on discussing this with her in January when I see her. I realized I have neglected the calcium supplements lately so must get those back on track. I try things their way a bit and then start suggesting alternatives.

    Take care all,

    Ginny in Ohio

    Learning about raw feeding for dogs is a process. I am in a web group I am finding helpful. Learned that best to freeze protein source for 2-3 weeks to kill potential worms. This makes sense when I had a long term Kindergarten assignment we studied red worms of California. Since they are not native here we were told to freeze them for two weeks before disposing in the trash. Freezing does not affect nutritional value. I wanted to share this is any of you are considering raw feeding your pets because I wish I had this info first thing before I started feeding raw.

    For those that are interested I go into other out of the box ways on how I am trying to improve the quality of what I am eating and drinking.
    I also found a chart that explained to use some protein sources less often. Turns out sardines are mostly farmed around Japan and because of the tsunami that affected their nuclear power plant bones of sardines are affected by the radiation given off by the plant.

    This information is just a reminder to me all foods are not created equal and the best you can do is just be aware and try to find the best sources I can find for DrewB and my family. I don't want to get so hung up on the pollution that is in our food supply that I refuse to eat certain foods. I just want to make the best choices I can and try to reduce any habits I have that adds to polluting our planet.

    One habit I started years ago to walk the talk is I no longer use any lawn products that contain a herbicide or a pesticide.

    Another habit is I now make my coffee using a ceramic sieve coffee maker instead of a plastic coffee pot. I did just see a stainless steel one on amazon. I am trying to lower the amount of plastic in my food. Not easy when so much is wrapped in plastic. When I can I store food in glass or good quality stainless steel. Again I am not going to avoid all foods in wrapped or that come in plastic that isn't practical. I am just going to lower my exposure when I can.
