@debbiewsharpe Sorry about the cyst that was found but glad it's small enough that you don't need surgery. That is a long drive for you. Good idea to try and schedule both tests and doctor appointments at the same time if you can. Hope your cataract surgery goes well. I've always had trouble seeing at night too, especially…

Thursday 9/24 Food: good Water: 40 oz Exercise: 40 minutes I worked with my trainer today. 30 minute session and 10 minutes warmup on the treadmill. Took a quick nap after supper and am starting work at 8:30 tonight. It sounded good on Monday when my boss came around and asked if we wanted any extra OT this week. It will…

@kandi3570 Thanks! Still a bit of an issue with my back but at least I'm still doing ok.

@1theresamcvean Yes, it's nice having a trainer who is able to modify the exercises for me so I still get in a good workout even with having some pain. I love having dogs around too. I'm not home enough to have my own but I love my neighbor's dogs as if they were my own. A couple neighbors were out with their dogs as I was…

@1theresamcvean Thanks! Back is still an issue. Yes, I think I probably do that too. Just stand or walk differently is probably causing part of the issue. I'm pretty behind on posts but remember reading that you weren't feeling well a few days ago and that you were going to get a covid test. I don't remember seeing an…

Wednesday 9/23 Food: good Water: not enough Exercise: 40 minutes Back is still a little sore, depending on what I'm doing. I worked with my trainer today. He knows about the back issue so we work around it. He's had back issues himself so he understands. We were both wondering if whatever I did to my leg is contributing to…

Tuesday 9/22 Food: good Water: not enough Exercise: 20 minute walk My back was pretty sore last night at work. Not sure why, I didn't do anything to hurt it, must have tweaked it somehow. I put a heating pad on it when I got home and that felt pretty good. It was still a little sore when I got up so I decided not to go to…

I like this saying. I tend to forget sometimes and compare myself to others, which does no good. They may or may not have had health issues, are in a different level athletically, etc. See, I do know not to do it.😉😁 I also liked this part of one of your earlier posts: Y'all take care, stay safe and most of all stay…

Monday 9/21 Food: good Water: not enough Exercise: quick 10 minute light exercise I had to get up early to go to an appointment. Nothing special, just a regular annual mammogram. After the appointment I stopped by my dad's for a few minutes to see how he was doing. He's pretty healthy for an 86 year old. Went home, had…

@debbiewsharpe Thanks, the raise was a pleasant surprise and having the sale do so well was also great. Having a dinner every other month sounds like a lot of fun but also a lot of work. Doing that ad a fundraiser is a good idea. People love to eat!😉 I hope you will get to do it again too.

@sleepymom5 Good job on your weekend! Keep it up! It was busy. Glad I didn't have to work Friday night. Thanks, we were glad the sale was successful too. It was hard to know if it would be or not and you never know with the weather with having it outside. I was also happy and thankful to get a raise.

I haven't been on for a few days. I see I missed a lot! Last few days food was up and down, water: not enough, exercise: worked with my trainer on Thursday but haven't got in any other exercise. It was nice that I had Friday night off so I could help out all day. Saturday we had our church 2nd best sale. It's normally in…

@kandi3570 I hope the sciatica and tendinitis issues clear up for you.

@kandi3570 Thanks for the information on the jury process. I really am clueless about it because of never having to do it. Several of the ladies at my book club tonight have had to do it and said something similar to what you did.

Tuesday 9/15 Food: ok Water: 40 oz Exercise: 20 minutes speed intervals on the treadmill I did pretty well with food today but did have a piece of pumpkin pie at book club tonight. I'm only counting carbs and protein right now and before the pie I only had about 40 for the day and I've been trying to keep it around 100. I…

@sleepymom5 My church is relatively small, which probably makes it easier to do outside church. We are going back inside at the end of the month. It's been pretty cool here in the mornings and evenings but a little warmer during the day. The book club I missed this weekend is doing Crazy Love by Franci Chan to start out.…

@pacsnc6 Wow! 3 times. I talked with a couple of my neighbors who are older than I am and they've never been summoned either. My boss made it sound like he just had a specific day to call too and ge mentioned something about sitting in a room with a lot of other people waiting for their number to be called. He also said it…

@sleepymom5 I started going to the chiropractor last fall when my lower back was really hurting. It was pretty painful at the time. My trainer and several other people said to try a chiropractor. My dad also goes. I asked where he went and he like the guy. If my 86 year old, stubborn Dutch father likes somebody, you know…

@cafelelia There are some exemptions for jury duty that were listed in the letter, concerns about the pandemic being one of them but I think you have to be immune compromised and I'm not really since I'm pretty healthy now. They also are probably going to need more people now because of the social distancing and other…

Monday 9/14 Food: good Water: 48 oz Exercise: 40 minutes total Worked with my trainer at the gym today for our normal 30 minute session, did 10 minute warmup on the treadmill first. After that I went to the chiropractor and got an adjustment. Went home, had supper and was going to take a nap when my doorbell rang. I…

@sleepymom5 It's great being back at the gym! I am enjoying it! No, I don't have room darkening shades. My bedroom faces west and is dark when I go to bed since I go to bed shortly after I get home and it doesn't get light on that side until later in the day. I've never thought about earplugs. I wonder if I would sleep…

@sleepymom5 Oh, no! I hope your daughter gets relief from the shingles medication. One of my coworkers recently had them too. Hope you can still enjoy your time away. I could get the flu shot at work too but they do it during the day when I'm sleeping so that's out for me. I just go to one of the pharmacies in the area and…

@1theresamcvean My body is strange.🙄 It's been my right leg that was bothering me but today it's the left. Last night it was my right side. My trainer did say that because the right one has been having the issue, I'm probably overcompensating and it's causing an issue for the left. Make sense to me. I'm glad the…

Sunday 9/13 Food: good Water: 48 oz Exercise: 15 minutes Outdoor church this morning. It was cool but not too bad. There were bees falling out of the trees today, which was distracting. It happened a couple of weeks ago too. Not sure why, someone said they're dying. They weren't really aggressive but were landing on…

Saturday 9/12 Food: good Water 40 oz Exercise: none Since I worked last night I slept most of my morning away. After I got up I went to the local library to take care of some things I can't do on my phone, then went to the pharmacy to get a flu shot. I've gotten one pretty much since I was a kid. My mom's health was never…

@Melzz19 I just looked up the population of my town. It showed for 2020 that there are about 7,300 people so not too many more than your town. The difference for me is that we have plenty of fast food and other restaurants in town and the neighboring towns. No mall in my town but that's less than 15 minutes away.…

Friday 9/11 Food: good Water: not enough Exercise: 30 minute session with my trainer After work I went home and changed into my workout clothes and went to the gym to meet with my trainer. I don't usually do morning sessions because I'm usually ready to go to bed after work but he had an opening and I was thinking we were…

Thursday 9/10 Food: haven't had supper yet but doing well today Water: 32 oz so far plus planning another 16 oz with supper Exercise: 40 minutes Seems like everyday my body decides I need to be awake between 11:30 and noon. Not sure why. I was able to sleep again but will still need a nap before work. I went to the gym…
