    Today is my hubby and my 14 year wedding anniversary. We played board games after work and split a kit kat for dessert -- we're pretty boring! I need to think up a surprise trip for our 15th anniversary next year.

    I worked at home today and didn't get many steps in. But yesterday was ok.

    Hope the podiatrist helps!

    Thanks Linda ... He didn't help much ... he said oh my your knee looks awful ... and he said you have osteoporosis and arthritis in your left ankle ..my appt. was for 8:30am I didn't see him until 9:20

    Megan, sorry your appointment didn't go as well as you had hoped. Can you see another type of dr. who specializes in arthritis? Did this dr. take x-rays? Anyway, it is just one opinion. Seek another opinion, imho, so you can find out what you need to do to preserve that ankle as much as possible.🧡

    NSV went to lunch with my best friend and instead of getting a soda stuck to unsweetened tea. That makes 14 days without a Dr. Pepper

    Awesome NSV! I know how hard it is to give up pop. Great job on the bingo board!

    Happy Thursday everyone! My daughter says hello to all of you. Both budgie birds are doing well and say cheep, cheep! I've been for a walk and I feel great! I'll be doing some dancing after supper. Have a great day, everyone! Take care and stay safe.

    Tell your daughter hello from Canada! Enjoy your dancing and great job on the walk.

    @lindamtuck2018 Yoga kicked my butt. I waddled outta there. 😄

    Today I was able to speak with a local Pharmacist about Managing my Type2 Diabetes. She really helped me a lot and now I see my Primary Doctor tomorrow, I can share her information with him. Hopefully he listens. 👍

    I am glad you are making headway with help in managing your diabetes. I hope your appointment goes well.

    Hi everyone! Wow, so much happens when you don't read posts for 24 hours! I'm impressed with how well everyone is doing at BINGO. I'm also sending positive thoughts to all of you currently struggling with health issues and/or injuries.

    I've done okay this week, my macros are right on track, but my calorie intake is higher than it should be. I've been doing too much mindless eating in the evenings while watching shows with my husband, so I'm going to take a break from the TV tonight and instead take a bath, read a book, and go to bed early. I'm hoping that will help me be on track for my weigh-in tomorrow! My weight on Tuesday was great, down another pound, but then today it had jumped up even more than the start of the month... I know it's probably mostly water retention, but I need to scale to be going in right direction!

    My NSV is running during the lunch hour twice this week, even though it was cold and rainy both days. Usually I prefer to exercise after work, but it's getting darker much earlier now so running during lunch ensures that I can't skip out in the evenings.

    Awesome NSV! I think we have to look at our NSV’s when the scale is not our friend, Another NSV for you is your making changes to combat the mindless eating. No matter what the scale says today, you are doing well overall.

    @Megan_smartiepants1970 I totally agree with Lee. Did he do a bone mineral density test for the osteoporosis and X-rays for the arthritis? Like Lee said, find a doctor, preferably a specialist, you deals in this area. I believe rheumatologist deal with osteoporosis.

    I have been craving beef barley soup. I have cook in the slow cooker Wednesday so I pinned this recipe. I will have to adjust the quantities of the ingredients and I will add a couple more veggies.

    Thursday check in
    ❌ Steps 11k daily (steps and converted steps)
    364/500 Zone minutes
    ✅ Stay within calories
    ✅ Track food accurately

    PW 198.6
    CW 200.2

    I knew I was going to gain weight as I had a bad week. The hardest part is seeing a 2 in front of my weight. I know next week I have to try to reign in the eating when anxious. Hopefully, if the injection works and I will be less anxious. So did it work. I don’t know yet. It camp take up to 5 days to notice the results and some don’t get any until the second injection which I get in early December. I am going to do some short walks in the apartment or the hall a few times today and see how I make out. I have been awake since 3 am so I may not have a lot of energy. So much for going to bed 30 minutes early. 😂. I still have to take it easy for the most part.

    I will post my bingo card later. I am missing 2 things but I won’t get them done.

    Happy FriYAY!

    I have seen him for years ... I really would hate to change Doctors ...I am known to have stress fractures... I went out and bought vitamin D3 (bone support)

    Thanks Lee :)
