    Tracey - I am terrified of cars. Especially motorways. I will sit in the back when my son takes me and watch a film on my phone to distract myself. :p 😜
    I have stopped travelling any distance at all with DH. Just very local and I can hardly bear it.
    I am a train kinda gal.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Michele--Wish I could excited like you about exercise. I just have so much trouble keeping at it everyday or every couple days. Hope all goes well with Jess's graduation. Just a thought, but maybe Denise doesn't want to come as she feels some mixed feelings about Jess following her dream.

    Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE <3

    I also love being active.

    I incorporate it into my day by walking for transportation as much as possible.


    @exermom ... could be that Denise doesn't want anything to do with the family. That happens.
    Children decide to live a life that is quite different from what they grew up with and more or less cut the ties with the family.

    I know I do things differently from my family and much of the time it's probably a good thing I'm on the other side of the world. :smiley:

    My parents have attended 2 of my 9 graduations in person and 2 virtually, my brother has been to 1 in person and 1 virtually, I think.

    Virtual graduations are an option ... watch it live from the comfort of your own home without the hassle of travel. :) Especially good since most grads allow a limited number of guests.

    Dang it! I bought Stevia in the Raw and looked it up when I got home. It has dextrose in it which is as bad as sugar. There might be less of it but I can't find how to compare doses. But they use dextrose medically to fix low blood sugar because it gives such a spike. I guess there's no way around giving up sugar.

    Can you eat fruit?

    Karen - Yes KD is Mac and cheese. I am a junk food junkie. Prefer that type of food more than any other. A few years ago DH and I were having a discussion about tattoos. I don’t believe in name tattoos unless it’s a child-parent thing, I said that I couldn’t think of anything important enough to me to have permanently placed on my body. DH being a smara$$ suggested I put a box of KD.
    😂

    I'm not a fan of tattoos ... but if I were going to go for one, it would likely be a bicycle or somehow cycling-related. :)


    I haven't had KD for a long, long time! I liked it with soya sauce. :)

    I didn't even go to any of my three uni graduations. And I didn't go to either of my sons'. They don't hold it against me! :p

    Going to start thinking about the layout of my new book. This phase always makes me very nervous. :# Baby steps.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    I go to all of mine ... it's a bit of a celebration for an accomplishment for me. But most limit the number of guests to one or two, so it's not like the whole family can be invited anyway.

    Good morning ladies,

    The interesting guy from okcupid wrote back! Yay!

    As far as graduations, my parents went to one of my four. My sister and brothers never. They came to my wedding, but never came to visit me. Just not a close family, I guess.

    I made myself a rule that I can eat back half my exercise calories, but no cookies. I just don't need them in my diet. And one leads to four and so on.

    So today's challenge is baking and frosting a cake for my aunt's birthday without tasting the batter or frosting.

    Meaningful May
    3: Take a step towards an important goal, no matter how small.
    4: Send your friend a photo from a time you enjoyed together. Message B with memory.

    Note to self: Do not delete the “Work” calendar from your phone while sitting on the pot at 3 am, even though you’ve been retired for 6 years. Iphone defaulted “new” entries to the “work” calendar and I failed to notice it. :sick:

    Terri (housework goals). Lisa and Machka (helpful strategies) :love: and :laugh: sisters from another mother!
    Katla think of you often, every time a humming bird visits the feeder outside my window.
    Kim stairs outside, hmm, like Katla my knee dislikes ‘em, will ast PT today.
    Heather your posh lunch looks like so much fun, but do they serve anything that isn’t seafood? :sick:

    Only to the bottom of pg 4 but time to shower and prep for 1st PT appointment.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    :) I get up early and walk my dogs before most people are even awake. By 7:30 AM I have walked close to 8000 steps which includes time with a friend and time to listen to a podcast. Having walked in the morning, I am more relaxed about the ups and downs of the rest of my day because I know I've done something good for my body. I eat exactly the same breakfast every morning (with little exception, the same thing every day since early 2009). I know it's healthy and I'm saved the need to make a decision.

    :) Yesterday was fractured by accompanying hubby to the doctor which took far longer than we expected. Fortunately the news was good. Later I taught a neighbor how to get on a Zoom meeting and taught myself how to share both an audio and a pdf file at the same time on a Zoom meeting.

    :) One of my favourite foods to nurture me during a sinking spell is Lean Cuisine macaroni and cheese. Single serving, not a bad calorie/sodium punch and very easy to fix.

    Tracey, Your husband's idea for a tattoo made me chuckle. He's a goofball.
