I gave up on October. I was doing great with the water goal but that was about it. As a result, this month, I am not worrying about water or tracking. Dennis needs to walk so we are doing a 15 minute walk outside each day. 7 1/2 minutes out and 7 1/2 minutes back. I'd like to get 3 miles a day on my Garmin, but I am struggling with some "caregiver" issues, in short, I am exhausted. I do not know how you do it all the time @Deeder522. So far, 3 miles has not been in the cards. :sad:

Oh my gosh!!! Did you know the back of your hutch was a bathroom wall? That takes the word "built in" to a whole new level! My mother had a corner cabinet in my childhood home and the back was the two walls, but the house was built in 1820, so one expects such things. I am not sure what it looks like, but you could go to Lowes and have them cut either a nice grade of plywood or sheet rock to the size (or sizes if you need to fit between shelves) you need and then paint or stain it yourself. More work, but solves the problem for less cost.

There is no way I can do that Leslie workout you found and posted last month, but I LOVE it and am planning it for January instead! I have almost all of the DVDs and can fake it for the ones I do not have, but it will get me started on the right track. By then, Dennis will be off my case and back on his feet and carrying more of his weight around here. :drinker: My office is downstairs and it is hard to be down here when he is upstairs and needs care. In January, he is on his own!!!!!!! New Year: New Dennis!!! :laugh:

Well, I missed a couple of days, but so far, I am walking 15 minutes outside! Usually to my mailbox, which is about a 6 minute walk away. Dennis is improving very quickly now and even walked with me on 3 different days. He is also going outside and puttering around the garage and yard so I have had some alone time which I have desperately needed. I did not feel good on Tuesday or Wednesday, but I have no idea what the problem was. I was tired to the point of exhaustion, but had not really done anything to cause it. Meh, old age I guess!
We had some skim ice on the lake yesterday and the big ski centers here are opening today. We have had some snow, but not enough to amount to much. It is cold now though-40s during the day and upper teens lower 20s at night. Ski centers can make snow when it is that cold at night.
I hear you about the storage=clutter dilemma! When we remodeled this house, we put in a huge Master Closet and a small pantry type closet and I told Dennis, that's it for excess storage! We have been so much better and tossing stuff we do not like rather than just stuffing it in a cabinet. One of the You Tubers I follow says, "If you have the space, you will fill the space." and that is the truth! :laugh:
I am so excited for Ryan! Gosh I hope he can continue eating some stuff he really loves without a problem.
You are right about those 2 pound weights. They seem like nothing when you are used to 5 pounds, but when you are starting out, they get heavy fast! :bigsmile:
