    Had a great day today...walked, drank extra water, ate extra veggies and added my stretching...man it was H.O.T. outside today!!! I ended up walking inside my office because I could only make it through half of my outside walk...heat index was 107 UGH! Hope ya'll had a great day!

    I've been trying one of those meal delivery services...this one has prepared meals, with all natural ingredients and you simply heat and you're good to go! I'm on the six meal a week plan so that on my busier days when I have to work all day AND teach piano, it's a quick fix for me. So far, I've eaten four of the six meals for this week and every one of them has been delicious!!! I know there are many companies that send you the ingredients and you cook...I don't have time for that...on the days that I don't have piano, I usually prepare something in the air fryer because it's fast...or I prepare a frozen meal that just requires a quick saute and serve. Anyway...I'm not sure I'll keep this service...I had a discount on the first month...only $49 a week....but when it goes back up to $59, I'm not sure I can justify that. But so far, I love the taste of everything...you can tell the vegetables are fresh and not canned...today's steamed green beans were primo. Best thing...all of the meals are around 400-500 calories and all ingredients, calories and nutritional info is included. I'm really impressed...Freshly is the one I'm doing. Two more will finish out this week and my next delivery is on Saturday. Lots of choices too...and you can switch up whenever you like and skip a week when you want.

    Tomorrow is a doctor's appointment...hoping for good news from my blood work I had drawn last Saturday. Also hoping my doctor is happy with my progress. I'm just not in the mood for anything negative.

    Have a great day tomorrow!

    That's awesome how you stick to your exercise schedule during heat days! Kudos to you!

    As for the meal delivery, I've tried Freshly, and Green Chef. Ended up stopping both of them as it was cheaper and actually less time consuming to just meal prep on my weekends.

    Having a heck of time getting connectivity to the site today, my employer is not sensitive to my non-work needs--so inconsiderate.

    I was seeing the news about that Russian app that transforms a picture of someone to an older version of themselves. I wonder if there is an app that transforms a picture of someone to their goal weight. Come on Russia, do something useful!

    Had a good report from my doctor today. She's thrilled with my progress and with my work in this support group. She loved the idea of the current group challenge we're doing! Also, and this is the biggie for me, my kidney function is back in normal range! We had to make a slight adjustment to one of the nutrients I take, but it was a great report. NSV today...I had planned ahead and ordered pizza for tonight...but I called and cancelled it. Had a small bowl of cereal for dinner...this heat in VA (110-115 heat index from yesterday through Sat evening) hasn't done much for my appetite...so I think it was a good decision!

    Hope ya'll had a terrific day. Tomorrow, if you're following the challenge this week, we dance for 10 minutes...so plan three of your favorite dance tunes and boogie your butt off (LITERALLY)!! Mix it with your 20 min walk and you'll have a great and active half hour...then top that with ten min of stretching and an ice cold bottle of water and you've nearly conquered all of them for tomorrow...LOL! I know...I don't ask for much!

    Sleep well!

    Great NSV! I'm always amazed at how our bodies "recover" as we shave off extra weight. I noticed it years ago with my knees, I went from walking to running because of 20 pounds.

    Stay cool everyone. We're getting the heat here in Massachusetts also. Our central air unit broke yesterday and so we won't have any a/c for the weekend. Funny how air conditioners break when it's hot out ... :p .

    I lost most of the water weight I picked up from traveling and TOM!! 🎉 Most of all my legs feel better! I retain water in my legs and feet and they get so big that they actually hurt!! I did some research and came across a natural diuretic called dandelion root and let me tell you, it works!!! So I have definitely been getting in the fluids to compensate for that.
