    Coffee or donuts.....definitely coffee. I'm not big on donuts anymore, but I drink coffee every morning.

    What is everyone's traditions for the 4th of July?

    We usually swim in our pool ...but since I am injured I won't be in the pool ... We watch fireworks but I won't be out there ..it is going to be 111 here in California ...so I will be watching fireworks on T.V. in my nice cool house ...We will be bbq-ing pork ribs ...I usually host a 4th of July party every year but I am not doing it this year

    I hope everyone has a nice 4h of July

    First week with the new Fitbit and back to getting my steps in. I think I would have been down even further except we hosted the 4th of July celebration with extended family so there was a lot of 'celebrating' although I did take it pretty easy. We're leaving in a few hours for Branson, MO to do some boating at the lake, amusement park fun and maybe a show or two. I have low expectations for healthy food options but will try to make good choices. At least I should get lots of steps in over the extended weekend.

    Quiet 4th of July -Got in two seated cardio workouts - counted one as my walk workout, the other as my cardio workout. Got my step goal completed - seated of course. Feeling a little better today - at least I could hear my hearing aid start up. To be honest, I was kind of scared that the ear infection will lead to more hearing loss. I am very hard of hearing already, it is really hard to live in a world and only hear half of what is said. The constant "what was that", is really frustrating for both me and others. People just don't get hearing loss - they roll their eyes like I am an annoyance when I ask them to repeat. Many times I just pretend I hear so I don't have to see it. Sorry to be a Debbie Downer - I'll end on a positive note - The fact that I could hear the hearing aid start up to day was reassuring.

    If you could get yourself anything, what would you get?

    I would buy myself a brand new Yukon XL in cranberry color

    Got it all done yesterday. Finally got a good night sleep! Yesterday was a raining yucky day, so hubby couldn't work outside. I bought these rope lights for our screen porch eons ago - he finally got them put up. So happy with how they look. We are a little short, but they are ententable so have to order another small section to finish it. But my favorite relaxing spot is looking pretty good.

    I feel like I have finally gotten myself back into the mental game. I have been struggling for a few months now. Some of this loss is likely water weight, but this is what my stubborn scale said this morning. I’ll take it!! 😁
