Things are going well here, I am feeling much better, so back to exercise as of Sunday. My bp isn't back to normal yet, but it's down. Had my hormones checked, nothing weird showed up yet, but there is one that was requested, but not performed. I'm not sure why... So waiting to see what she wants to do, If she wants me to go back to give more blood, I would like her to do a full work up.
Anyway , hope you have a great day !

What a Tuesday! I hope everyone has had/is having a good one. I am enjoying the walking about, seeing critters, and playing some music.
Thanks for the health and testing updates - there is a lot of info we can use to work on things, for sure. Sometimes it gets a bit overwhelming, but when ongoing trends are explained it is amazing. Keep on sharing!
I'm off for the evening of raccoon viewing and other excitements... I have a friend in Thunder Bay (Ontario) who has a lynx in her yard at the moment. It is always fun to be able to see critters in the yard.
Wednesday folks! Are you ready to go? Heads up -

I think I’m mostly caught us reading posts. I second Kristi’s thoughts above as well.
I did 5 minutes of stretching this morning. Not much but more than yesterday. I logged my food and closed my diary. I was under too.
I bet my cortisol levels are elevated too with all this house stuff and my sons layoff. My body aches all over and my hip is so sore. My friend told me acupuncture helped her. Have any of you used acupuncture before?
I’m going to heed @conleywoods recipe — get sleep. I’m headed there now. Hopefully, I’ll sleep ok.
Have a good day/night. Tomorrow I need to drink more water.3 -

Well, I lost what I had gained back last week, so that's good, but it's not actual progress. I'm focusing more on exercise now so we'll see that gives me the push I need. Have a great week!6 -
Hey all! So sorry I missed last week, it was CRAZY! I got recruited to become the dietitian for the local care center so I've got that added to my plate...I did a wellness thing for the schools, and there's just so much more.
I didn't get a chance to weigh last week and I'll try to get my weight later today or tomorrow morning. We had a holiday weekend and then yesterday I was snowed in my house! I'm back in the office and playing catch up, but this week may be a bit hectic too.
Hope everyone else is staying warm!5 -

Slowly heading down in the right direction!
@LoraineGB I tend to have hungry days rather than hungry weeks. Yesterday was a hungry day, and I try to eat more fruits or veggies, or just get busy so I don't think about it.
@MoonlitMuse your schedule sounds busy! I have been staying warm...it's been 75F in NC this week and tomorrow will be close to 80! Everything is starting to bud on the trees, they are saying 30 days ahead of normal. We are getting ready for pollen!
@micki48 my husband did dry needling for tight muscles and it really helped him! I am still not fully sure the difference between accupuncture and dry needling.4 -

I had a great stairmaster style walk today - all the big hills! Snowshoes not required - the previous tracks are hard, the deer trails are also good and hard, but over the next couple of days we're supposed to get more snow at last. I can't wait! Even if it is followed by some super cold temps, that is all fine by me
Has anyone done hot yoga? I'm thinking of trying a class or 2 just to stop being alone all the time when exercising. It's tempting, but I have not done much yoga before.4 -
@jugar I got very sick last night and was not able to eat today. I am going to hope eating returns to normal tomorrow and I will weigh in Friday. Sorry, I know I was late last week too.🤦♀️5

@lorrainegb I have hungry days too. Usually caused by significant exercise or illness. I usually find that making my mid-morning snack into more of a meal (I often have something I might typically have for lunch) helps a lot. If it's actually a craving rather than hunger, I'm learning to have a reasonable portion of The Thing, rather than eating everything else in the house before giving in.
Welcome to the team @BrownMargaret3021 - this is a great bunch of people.
I'm a little frustrated by my gain but I'm not going to beat myself up over it. Earlier in the week OH said he fancied McDonalds - I said maybe over the weekend, but not Wednesday because I weigh in on Thursday and McDonalds always causes water retention for me. You can see where this is going! At lunch time we went for a walk via the allotment to water my garlic in the greenhouse, and saw that the council had hired a skip for plot holders to clear away any rubbish and it was being taken away Friday morning. I took a couple of hours off work in the afternoon and cleared away loads of stuff left by the previous tenant(s) - rotting pallets, disintegrating weed membrane, broken bricks and a soggy carpet. It was hard work and I only stopped because it was getting dark! This also meant it was just after 6pm when I got home, the chicken hadn't defrosted for our fajitas, and OH decided that cooking something from the freezer would take too long. So McDonalds it was.
I don't think I can get back down to the allotment today or early tomorrow to clear away the last bits, which are two piles of soil full of rubbish, but we made a huge dent in it which is great. I'd run with my friend yesterday morning too so it was a good day for exercise if not food. If my 4pm meeting gets cancelled I'll finish early again and go back down the allotment, but otherwise it'll be a quiet at-my-desk day and I'll go on the treadmill this evening.7 -
Welcome @BrownMargaret3021 - looking forward to getting to know you!2
