    After watching DH being on 10 meds. Many for side effects caused by another med. The only way I will take any med is when the doctor gets at the root cause of what is wrong with me! I wish I wasn't in the minority. I am over 65 years of age and on no conventional medications. I wish there were more people my age who could be off all conventional meds. I have learned you cannot outrun a poor diet!

    I am 62 and on no regular meds. My grandma(today would have been her birthday) died at 90yrs old and not on any meds.

    Heather- Wow! You are busy! Getting so much done! When is your surgery? I have lazy susans above my fridge for my cleaning products and two double decker ones in my pantry cupboard. One for spices, the other for canned soups (easy for DH to make). I love them. The kids call them merry go rounds! :D
    Rori- *cheering* Go Rori! Go Rori! Go Rori! Better out than in, right?
    Tracey- Ugh! Three weeks on hold for this position! Agony! Cute pics of Michaela! She has really grown!
    Machka- I have ongoing lists, as well. It feels good to cross things off. But, I am waiting for a day when I don't need lists, anymore. lol Not sure if that day is going to come.
    Rosemarie- Great news on the crawl space! Nothing like a lot of rain to freak us out!
    Allie- I know your brother has his issues; but from your conversations Jean has always seemed like a horrid woman. Anyhow, I hope you can stay out of ALL of it and NOT have a brother to contend with. Thinking of you!
    Monique-Awww, the sweet babies! It takes a special person to do your job and it sounds like you are wonderful at it. I hope you receive blessing and kindnesses from those babies families and from the hospital/med center you work for. Hard job, indeed! Hugs to you!

    It is very pleasant going out that early, the sun isn’t out, sometimes there’s a light breeze. Great time to go, plus we get home early

    Michelle Richard Simons was 76 when he died. Still too young. Keith Richards looks like death warmed over. He also has a chronic health condition.

    Flea I have watched a sister and a husband die from cancer. They both went through conventional treatment. It was their choice. I support whatever a person chooses to do. I just more was spent on what is causing so many to get cancer. It is not just us dogs have a 50% chance by the time they are 10. This does not include the diabetics, heart disease, dementia, Parkinson's patients, and autoimmune conditions.

    Zwift stats - 22.08min, 375elev, 110aw, 51arpm, 13.64amph, 5.03mi= 130c

    Total cal 940

    Well, I had a fun day. We left even earlier than we did yesterday. Came home by 7:11am. Came home then did a 15 mile bike ride on the spin bike. The guys working on the outside accidentally cut a wire on one of the outside plugs so kirby tuned off the power while I was on the bike so starve didn’t save the ride but zwift did. So I started over and did the rest of the 15mile ride I was planning on doing. The plan was then go donate blood, then go to the lazy dog restaurant so kirby can get his free sampler and I can get the free tv dinner. I had a mojito made with coconut water (130 cal). We sat outside (they have fans) because I get too cold with the ac. After I had my drink and we were sitting outside. I told Kirby I was feeling lightheaded and I put my head down on the table and apparently I passed out and when I woke up there were 3 reps from the restaurant and they put OJ in front of me to drink. Later I find that I fainted, Kirby called for help. Before I knew it there were like 4 firemen there. I told them I needed to go to the bathroom (to poop). They then sat me inside and I was sweating buckets. My heart rate was low (it usually it, resting hr is 50 usually) . These guys looked like they should have been on a calendar. I told them I felt like I had to throw up, they helped me to the John and there went the mojito. Then the ambulance came, they said my blood pressure was too low and suggested I go to the hospital, I declined and told them I live real close and I would go home and lay down which is what I ended up doing. I wear an Apple Watch and saw my heart rate range was 41-109. My resting heart rate for today was 45.

    I usually weigh myself in the morning, then after I’m done with my workout, but I did it one more time after I took a nap and got up again at around 2ish.

    Morning- 136.0
    After walk and spin- 134.8
    After I came home, after nap- 132.6

    649649

    Mild heart attack? I would have been inclined to go to the hospital. Surprised they didn't insist.

    Heather! Gosh what a ride to the hospital. Hope things proceed quickly.

    Rosemarie - I'm also trying to keep up with the protein, and have been starting my day with eggs. I'm supposed to have 2 or 3. I'm to the point I have run out of ideas on how to fix them and they don't seem appetizing anymore. Makes skipping breakfast a few days a week easier these days. :) Wasn't it your brother who hinted you could care for your mom? So happy to hear you are enjoying being home on your deck and left the cat rescue.

    Barbara - I used to love it when my DH had the opportunity to talk when we were going somewhere. When he drove, he was constantly criticizing other drivers and playing "race cars". Ugh. When I drove, I know it was hard for him to curtail his back-seat driver tendency, but it was much better for both of us. ;)

    Margaret - Glad you recovered quickly from your short illness. I get what you were saying about meds. Try correcting diet and behaviors before relying on pills. (Unless there's no other choice as in Flea's case.) My DH was on 7 or 8 by the time he passed, some to alleviate the side effects of the others. I'm certain that contributed to his dementia and rapidly failing health toward the end of his life. Makes me more determined to fix my pre-diabetes with diet and exercise. So far I'm just on a mild BP med.

    Ginny - wonderful you are getting increased sleep. Hoping feet continue to be on the mend. Thank goodness it's Friday! Even though I've been retired for nearly 8 years, there's still a part of my internal calendar that recognizes weekends.

    Back later -
