    Found another reason continue the diet I am on osteoporosis. Turns out a high processed diet is too acidic for our bodies so the body goes to the bones to leech out the calcium and phosphorus act as a base to bring the body to a more neutral pH. Adding calcium without adequate VitD, K2, and phosphorus only creates a situation where you end up with too much calcium in your blood (Ace inhibitors then are used with all their side effects) and not in your bones so it can create plaque, bone spurs, kidney stones. Also learned strength training builds bone. I do need to add more of that. I am getting K2 from butter and Gouda cheese, phosphorus from dairy, fish, and meat. Vit D going out first thing no sunglasses or sunscreen and supplements (I live in a northern climate) Again I need to add strength and resistance training. I have some small dumb and resistance bands plan to start with those.

    Must have needed sleep today as I got up 2 hours later than I had planned. So need to get going. I will walk with ankle weights while doing the reservation tags, then I need to go to town for some groceries. Not much else planned as it will be over 100 degrees outside by the time I get home from that. I started crocheting a Harry Potter and the kit provides enough yarn to do Dobie as well. I’ll post pics when done.

    Dinner yesterday was cucumber salad, green bean salad, a cheeseburger, and pan fried potatoes (we only use avocado oil or olive oil so healthy frying!!) Breakfast was 1/4 cup muesli with quinoa (I don’t Cook this right as it stays gritty. Need to figure that out), snack was banana, orange, piece of cheese and handful of nuts, a small bag of popcorn and a Sargento’s Fast break white cheddar, almond, craisins package. No real supper last night.

    My table and chairs. Michaela and I set the table with my great grandmother’s dishes for a photo shoot.
    I am incredibly proud of this job and so thankful it is done!

    Tracey - I am just in awe of the work you've done on those pieces, and how much they look as if they are all part of a set that was created for each other. Very well done, absolutely beautiful, and something your descendants will love long after you've gone.

    Rebecca ~ Sure hope your son gets the medical attention he needs. You are a proactive mom and glad you can point him in the right direction.

    Tracey ~ Beautiful work. I know you will have many more years enjoying what you have done.

    Debbie ~ Wishing good luck to your mom and to you and your husband in trying to remedy a trying situation.

    Rebecca if it is Crohn's are they recommending a gluten free diet? Gut issues can show up on the skin...My friend I just talked to whose DH was in foreign service ended up with type two diabetes she thinks it was from the stress of being in Iran and his diet. Unfortunately in this day and age we often have to become our own doctor. It is our body and figuring out the clues to what is wrong sometimes does fall on us. Doctors can help but only so far...Support him to keep digging until he gets the answers that are the root cause!

    Tracey. Your table, chairs, and bench are so beautiful. I love your dishes, too. The whole area is just perfect.

    I’m still waiting on my car to be finished. According to my insurance app, it should be finished today.

    My brother is doing much better with his recovery.

    I’m with those who will take every “I Love you” I can get, although it does annoy me when it seems automatic from someone who doesn’t show it by their actions.

    I’ve been struggling lately to get my steps. It is just too hot. I need to switch up my morning routine, I think. Do my long walk, then have my tea and devotion time. I have been doing a decent job of staying in my calorie deficit, but not so good with logging. I diligently planned out today’s meals, only to log them on Wednesday! I don’t even know how that happens. At least it made it easy to click the little circles again, since they were at the top of my frequently eaten foods.

    Barbara – the article on the net said that pushups were strenuous. To me, they’re not at all. They also said situps. Perhaps if you do a full situp it MIGHT be.

    Lisa – I don’t criticize Ken and Lynette for saying “I love you” every few minutes, it’s just strange to me that you have to say it every few minutes

    Debbie – yea for your mom! I really hope she doesn’t take revenge

    Kylia – I am so sorry about your main mechanic. I hope your dh finds that trinket.

    I’m wondering if I might have EIA. Yesterday, after mowing the weeds, I came inside to take a shower and I think I could hear myself wheezing. I do remember taking things downstairs like the Halloween decorations and Christmas decorations, and after coming up the stairs, I was out of breath. Gotta see if this continues.

    Worked, then dropped some boxes off at the church, then to WalMart to do shopping, then the soup kitchen where I put things in their refrig. Home and I’m thinking that in a few I’ll go in the pool

    Tracey – you SHOULD be proud. That table is awesome!

    Rebecca – good thoughts sent for your son. How frustrating for you and him

    Walk – I like to take my walk after dinner. Seems to help settle the stomach, too. Plus, it’s usually cooler

    Well, off to the pool!

    :)Tracey,That furniture looks amazing. It must be so satisfying to complete a project that is sentimental, useful, creative, and beautiful. I, too, am in awe of what you've done.

    Tracey-- your restored dining set is beautiful. I love the place settings too. Very nice work.

    Rebecca --here's hoping your son gets a more diplomatic doctor for a complete diagnosis. If Crohn's, would that mean discharge?

    Much love to all. Waiting at oncology for monthly check in.

    I hope not! Hopefully with more tests they can narrow it down.👍🏼🙏
