Still no meds, but trying to do what I can in the mean time. I am still losing weight, which is crazy, but I will take it! I am employing what I learned before from years of tracking--low-carb is a must for me. New motto: no grains=no pain! Also no sugar, except for 1 serving fruit per day. In the past I have aimed for…

I've been taking a break from posting goals until I could get my pituitary meds refilled. Six weeks without medication and it doesn't look like I will get them any time soon. I am beyond miserable, and going without my injections has kicked me into full-blown diabetes. I feel like a HUGE failure after keeping diabetes at…

Well, Monday was a bit of a wash--still don't have the medication that I need and I am really tired. It turns out that my local lab DID THE WRONG TEST three weeks ago, so insurance will not approve the prescription. So I am going to drive into the city today and have the big research hospital do it correctly. The test…

Get house set up in a basic way, identify longer-term projects and plan them 2. Get kayaks fully set up and get on the water regularly this summer 3. Be consistently active/exercising 5…

OK, time to get serious again. A bunch of my dance friends are meeting up in Barcelona, Spain in September. I want to be able to go and really enjoy myself, which means getting in shape.

Well, I worked 10 hours today (overtime) and now I need to get to work on finishing some goals!

Bex, I have been through the kidney failure journey with my mom. There is a LOT that can be done with diet and careful monitoring of bloodwork. My mom's kidneys were slowly failing her whole life...she made it to 68 before she needed a transplant. My dad gave her a kidney 9 years ago. They were a good match but not…

Oh yes, I was an obsessive Latin social dancer. I know several types of salsa, bachata, merengue, Mexican cumbia, cha cha cha, a little bit of tango, etc. I did a lot of Zumba too. One of the cool things that has happened during the pandemic is that an online community called COBEAT party (motto: stay home, stay safe!) has…

It might be a little early for me to start setting goals again. I keep hitting strange pockets of exhaustion. I really should be caught up on rest, and I think I am more mentally than physically tired...but yesterday I sat down on the couch in the middle of cleaning and could.not.get.up. That seems to keep happening to…
