    My knee has been bugging since Feb, finally had an MRI yesterday. Go over results with Ortho tomorrow to figure a plan of action (read results through patient portal and have a partially torn PCL among other things 😫) Here’s to a quick recovery!

    @susanshaughnessy80 That is great news!! You've been doing great and it's definitely having a positive impact on your health. That's what it's all about. As I'm nearing retirement and reading / hearing that healthcare costs take up more than 1/3 or your income my goal is to stay healthy and active as long as possible. Who wants to spend their money on healthcare? I want to spend mine on travel and spoiling the grand kids!!

    Thank you for checking in Sue! I’m a little overwhelmed with my new position at work, but IT IS a promotion; so mo' money = mo' problems! = "Work-Krystal" will work thru the pain and have to get over it!

    I am happy to be able to escape on the weekends, and so I tried my first Painting with a Twist Party. I didn’t think I’d like it because I’m SO not artistic, but it was really fun! I think my sangria and the blaring of all the greatest hit songs of all time brought the artist right out of me!! :)

    @Krysless2 You did a great job! I did several Wine & Design paintings a few years back but stopped when I realized I had a stack of canvases in the closet that were never going to get hung. LOL I love that your truck isn't red, that has been done to death. And yes, the sangria definitely helps! Good luck on your new position! I'm sure you'll kill it.

    Sorry team...
    Not on the right track at the moment. Will figure it out this month though.. need to be getting back on the exercise/moving track. But also know that my weight roller coaster is on that downslope from the week high I had since last weigh in. Still trying to get a handle on this new "cycle" of water/ pms weight and how that goes on the unplanned body of mine as it goes through all these changes. In addition, had a kitchen food freezing prep standing day Sunday followed by a road trip Mon/Tues to do college kiddo pick up. Know my legs are heavy (measurements prove it-- and squishiness tells me it isnt muscle! 😅) a year ago this would have derailed me. NOW.... things like needing all new shorts from my purchase spree for my not taken vacation last Sept (they all fall down!) Shows me how far I have come.

    @DaffyGirl88 I'm glad :) I know I've been away for a while, not really with it, but I'm trying to make my way back!

    I'm still dealing with my covid symptoms so I haven't started to exercise yet. I hope to commit to MUAC next month.

    So my plantar fasciitis / heel spur have been acting up. :( I haven't been walking 🚶‍♀️the last few days in an attempt to give it a break (and not need another cortisone shot 💉🥺). My calorie burn is taking a huge hit. 😞
