oh no, Donna. Sorry to hear you have Covid! I hope you recover quickly. Your pictures are fab-u-lous! it looks like it was a fun trip with a lot of variety.
My Christmas shopping is done. Everything was ordered a while back, but some things took a while to ship. I can't wrap the gifts until after I cross the border in case the border guards want to look through our stuff. They can do that if they want to, but there are also randomized vehicle checks. Since we've moved to the US side of the border, I've started just using tissue paper and Christmas bags that we recycle back and forth with family from year to year.
I looked up my Fitbit activity levels over the last year and thanks to my new VR headset, this December is already the most active month! Perhaps in part because I've been more consistent with wearing my watch but I think it is mostly it is due to increased activity.
I'm at 8000 steps for the day so far and over 60 zone minutes from various VR games. It's 3pm but I don't get in much activity in the afternoon typically.
Last night we had a curry pasty with homemade mango chutney and a salad with apple and celery. My favorite one yet I think.

Thank you Carla. It feels like a head cold. We are canceling the trip to Hilton Head as my 81 y/o sister does not need to be exposed. She is mad but everyone would be more upset if they caught Covid from us. You rock on your new found exercise. I feel like your endorphins are kicking in.
Magic, I hope you are feeling better. There is a lot of crud going around.
Mihani- take care of yourself during this season. I think work will be busier for you after the holidays?
I gained 2 lbs on the cruise but have lost 1.5 of it so far. I am happy to get back to my new craving for breakfast, espresso protein shake. Going to alternate with oatmeal, fruit and walnuts. I made my favorite comfort food last night, baked sweet potatoes with walnuts and a bit of honey on top.0 -
I'm sorry you had to cancel your Christmas plans, Donna. It's the right decision but it's too bad it turned out that way. At least you guys had the chance to visit with her fairly recently. I guess you're in for a relaxing Christmas at home then?
Yes, my endorphins are totally kicking in. It is like a runner's high without the knee injury problem. My knees are still getting a little creaky and clicky with all of the movement, but I can reduce my lower body movement as needed for a break.
I had my appointment with the kidney specialist today. He said everything looks good, no need to come back, just keep working on reducing blood pressure and losing weight, lower salt etc. all the stuff I know. He had my lab results over the last 2 years, and last November when I was down 30 lbs from where I am at now, I had great numbers.
I managed to get my 10k steps after posting yesterday. So far today I'm only at 4000 steps, but I managed 67 zone minutes thanks to a vigorous vR session.
dinner yesterday and today is buffalo cauliflower, chicken nugget style tofu, and fresh veggies with dip. terrific. already looking forward to having it tonight.0 -
Hi all... I made it through the week from hell, and I think next week will be rough but not like this one. I am NOT going to the office this weekend if I can help it. I will work from home but geeze I'd like to stay away from the office. I'm TIF (tired, irritated, frustrated LOL) Plus I'm feeling a little stuffy and run down the past couple days and there's SO much crud going around, so I want to take things a little easier next couple days.
Donna, so sorry to hear you have covid and had to change up plans. Your pictures from the trip are wonderful! Total dream vacation.
Carla, great news on the kidney doc! You are doing so well lately with exercise and eating well, that I'm sure things will continue to improve.
Nanc, how are you doing? I hope you are over the respiratory infection or at least feeling better. Thinking of you.
I stopped last night and got a couple entrees, soup and broccoli salad from the WFPB place I found. At least i don't have to worry about shopping, prepping or cooking for a few days. I have some tofu that I'm going to bake for my contribution to Christmas dinner. I just don't have it in me to do anything more. Honestly, we're all older and don't eat like we used to, so there's always too much food.

Mornin' all. Merry Almost Christmas! I spent most of yesterday in bed. Had some airborne a couple times a day for a few days and I feel okay now. Still tired and run down, but not sniffling and coughing. I have awful allergies/sinuses so I never know if I'm getting a cold or if it's just the usual.
One of the entrees I got was mac and "cheese" with jackfruit nuggets and broccoli. That was amazingly good.
Tonight getting together with friends for Christmas Eve dinner and cocktails. Tomorrow I'll be getting together with the family. We always have a nice time. It's quiet and relaxing. Still need to wrap presents. Today I'm going to do laundry, clean up the kitchen, and do some work. Thinking I may run to the grocery on Tuesday since I am not planning on working a full day and I can grab a few things to get me through the week.

Good morning! Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. We had a nice time, lots of laughs. I think everyone liked the gifts I got them and I got some cool loot myself. My brother and sis-in-law served up a delicious feast with plenty of vegan options, plus wine and champagne.
I'm going to the office today but feeling more energetic about it after a break of a few days. Slept in and taking my time this morning, and only going to stay part of the day then stop at the store and come home to make some food to get me through the rest of the week. I will get some more work done tonight at home. I think a big pot of greens and beans with mushrooms and onions, some quinoa, and salads.
Nanc, I hope you are doing okay. Getting worried as we haven't heard from you.
Carla, hope you are having a wonderful time with family up north.
Okay, better get moving here.

I am finally checking in...so sorry all. Out of work for two weeks. Going back today.
All I can say is I have never been that sick...Covid was not this bad. Two trips to Urgent Care. VIRAL RESPIRATORY INFECTION. X-rays showed no pneumonia.
Just stay warm and away from people.
I have no idea how I got what I got.
Hope you all had a good Christmas. Missed you and my daily routine of checking in.

Whew! Happy to hear from you Nanc. So glad you are finally feeling better. What an awful way to spend Christmas though.
I stayed about 4 hours at the office. I'm going to take a nap then get some more work done here at home. I was too tired to stop at the store so I'll make do with what I have on hand. I'll decide whether to do a real prep on Monday or just stock up on stuff from the WFPB grab and go. I have quite a few projects that I want to get done around here and might be better to buy prepared foods and spend the prep time on getting those projects accomplished.
