I am a little late on the book discussion, but add me to the list of readers on this thread. I just finished The Girl on the Train and now I’m reading The Girl in the Spider Web. I think it was KJ that clued me in on the fact there was a fourth book written about Lisbeth Salander a month or so ago. I too belong to a book club and enjoy it because it gets me reading things I would never pick up on my own. I am supposed to read The War that Saved My Life by next Monday 9/26 but I haven’t started it yet. Guess I better get going on that one.

Today, I went to a free consultation at a place called New Leaf Wellness that specializes in natural hormone therapy. They have a treatment for menopause symptoms and another program for weight loss. I would like to do the therapy for menopause but it’s quite expensive and I can’t justify spending the money. I guess I will live with the hot flashes and night sweats for now. I won’t do the weight loss program, because it’s also quite expensive but I didn’t really buy into their approach either. They limit calories to 800-900 a day and don’t make any adjustments for those who exercise quite often. The hormones that are part of the program are supposed to keep you from losing lean muscle mass. I just couldn’t stick with a plan that is that restrictive. Anyway, the appointment did one thing. It made me take a hard look at myself and what I’ve been doing. I know that I can do this, but there is no easy way. I just have to stay focused on my goals and make good choices.

OK, I am confused. I saw the posts about Miriam leaving but I went back to look for a post from her and can’t find it. What happened?

Heading off to bed now so I can read a little and then get up early to go to the gym.

Gorgeous pics Janetr! I sooooooo want to drag DH over the pond before we get too old. So much to see.

Going to trim the cake tier today and make the top tier. It will feel good to have that part done. Saturday is newspaper day, so have to get that read. When DH goes out to get the paper he is going to buy some zucchini for me to spiralize. Having it with smoked salmon and Philly light, half fat creme fraiche, lots of scallions and garlic (home grown). I haven't had this favouritem recipe for ages because I so rarely eat pasta any more, but I will give it a go with the zoodles. DH will have tagliatelle.
