I hope you are happy with your new GP. I remember when my Gyne left and I was needing to find a new one. I was not a happy girl.
Hoping you can find some form of relief for your pain. I also struggle with joint pain when the temps get cold.
Thanks Mari my new GP is friendly and on the ball when it comes to refilling my medications so that is a plus ... I see my podiatrist this afternoon ... I am hoping for good news but I have a feeling it is not going to be good news since it has been 3 weeks and 1 day since I had foot surgery and the pain is still unbearable1 -

Did my mini walks and got all my steps in. Not sure what I will do today as my granddaughter passed a bug onto me. Colds are back!
To my teammates in your 50’’s or older: Do you find you need less sleep as you age? I have been debating this one with some friends.
I am a sleeper ...and I can fall asleep with a drop of a hat... if I don't get at least 8 hours of sleep I am a crab-apple the entire day

My thoughts on sleep ....
I d always been able to sleep anywhere anytime and undisturbed for 8 or 10 hours.
Then 11 years ago my husband passed away and that was the end of my sleep! I spent 2 or 3 years hardly sleeping at all .... and during that time I learnt to sleep when I could .... if it was 12 noon and I could sleep I did!
Things are alot better now. I get off to sleep around 10pm most nights. But I wake up early 4 or 5am. If I get back to sleep great x if I don't then I don't! I don't stress over it. If I'm tired at 3pm I don't fight it ... I take an hours siesta. Benefit of retirement .... sleep when your body wants too!
Ps always sleep listening to something as it helps my brain stop thinking!

Yum meatballs for a potluck is such a good idea. Especially if you are using a slow cooker for them. Such a great idea. You know I think I may have been a bit traumatized as a child when we would have potluck at church. There was this lady who would bring a Mac and cheese bake and there were always like milk curdles in it and then I started to just not teust anything that was brought. I started imagining the worst lol. I would only eat what my mo would bring which was usually like an enchilada bake or lasagna.
I’m sorry to hear that you’ve caught a bug. I do hope it’s nothing too bad and that it quickly passes.
On sleep….. i used to be able to fall asleep on demand. No matter what time of day it was or where I was. Now, by 8:30 pm I’m falling asleep no matter where I am. Bed, sofa, st a friends house lol. 8:30 hits and I’m yawning and eyes are red. It’s really embarrassing. BUT. Then I’m up by 5 am. I can never ever ever sleep in. I just get up and do laundry and have an early relaxing breakfast. I also always have a one hour nap after lunch almost everyday. Otherwise I’m a grumpy girl. 🤷🏻♀️

Oh Megan I hadn’t realized that you had foot surgery recently. Oh man that’s not good that you are still experiencing pain 3 weeks later. I hope it’s nothing too serious and that whatever it is your so doctors can fix the problem. How did it go with your podiatrist?

I was throwing the ball for my 2 pups when I suddenly fell into one of their craters that they dug in the backyard... I broke my ankle in 2 places ( the ER Doctor only 1 break) and I tore ligaments and tendons ...No phone call or voicemail so I showed up and the receptionist said we call you several times the Dr is not in today ... thank goodness it was just across town and not in a different city ....I will see him Dec. 8th

Wow. Just wow. December 8th is a long time to wait ! Especially if you are having so much discomfort. Are you on pain meds?

Thursday check-in 11/10
Thursday was a bit of a drag for me. I did lots of waiting in the morning. We had our heating guy here getting our heating system on and ready for the winter and it took forever. I then walked doggo and finally dragged myself to the gym. I got my workout done but I was NOT feeling it. After I went to the shops to lol for those cheap kettlebells k had seen and they were gone 😭. I should have grabbed them when I saw them. I will try a different location this weekend. Fingers crossed they have some there. Then for the boys dinner ready and had a very good choir rehearsal. I think we are going to be good and ready for our Christmas concert. 🎶
Today is going a bit better. It’s bank holiday so my kids are home but I still managed to go to my Karate class. Just made myself a nice tuna wrap and I’m gonna go ahead and take a nap now lol. Easy day!

Hi! I ended up hopping on the scale at my mother's house on Wednesday, so I have a weight for that day. I wanted to wait until I got home to confirm it on my scale though because it seemed crazy, haha! I guess that first week's water weight is really coming off.
