Thank you! I'm realizing pace is all relative. Back when I was younger and in better shape, I walked this race in 15 minute miles, a couple of times even in 14 minute miles. I'm aiming to complete 30 of the 10K, then I might consider switching to the 5K event that was added last year. Thinking of you and Tim as his surgery…

Late posting but need to for my own accountability. @PackerFanInGB Wonderful news on your recent scans! So happy for you! I've only gone to the Sat. farmers market so far this year, but I may try the others.

@HappyDonkey75 I personally know nothing about working with a dietitian or meds for weight loss. In the past (many years ago) I joined Weight Watchers & that worked for me, until I tried to maintain for more than one year, and I stopped following. Eventually I joined MFP. My weight has gone up and down during that time.…

@more_freggies76 Enjoy your vacation days! I like your hourly commitments. @snowflake1968 I like to wash dishes by hand even though we have a (very old) dishwasher. I use it once in a while, when I'm too busy/lazy or just to make sure it keeps running. We think it was installed when the house was built in 1989; we've been…

Ack! My posting and logging has been hit or miss lately. When I logged all food for today, I was disappointed in myself when I realized even with a 4.24 mile walk with dog, calories were way in the red. Days like yesterday don't help; hubby and I and one of his sisters went up north to put flowers on their parents' graves,…

@HappyDonkey75 Welcome to JFT! Baby steps, one day at a time. @PackerFanInGB That was some storm last night! Fortunately, we didn't lose power, but hubby's sister did & she's about 4 miles east of our house. Dog was terrified by the moving branches & lightning & thunder, so I pulled the curtains and hubby spent part of the…
