Bravo @77tes!! What a beautiful hat & a beautiful lady! Your joy shines through!! Thank you re: Dad. I figured out he had a UTI.

Thank you @donna25trinity Yes, he’s healing - his elbow is wrapped up & his knees are healing well now. Been a really stressful few days. Called 9-1-1 for my Dad, then late night testing for bladder infection for him, then a day at urgent care for IV antibiotics. Began recording food again today, Aug 6. THANK YOU❣️❣️❣️

Thank you so much for your kindness, @lazycat2018. Doing decluttering today & two errands got me up to 6K steps. Frequent rests and short periods of walking worked pretty well - also switched shoes twice LOL Have your doctors been of help with your hip? I know of several people who felt pain free after hip replacement…

@themedalist Sounds like a great plan! Slow & steady wins the race!

Sounds great @77tes ! I remember the other dress & photos you posted! Great idea with framing your face with a color that makes you shine! Have fun!

@77tes Love this! I understand not wanting to pull out a project! Maybe use a big box & place all fabric, notions back into it after each session? (Just leave out the sewing machine??)

Hi @Michaela_LaGata What a great thing to do for your health! I am aiming to lose 12 lbs to help me avoid pre-diabetes, too! I am taking my blood glucose within 10-16 min of awakening & before each meal. I’m spreading healthy carbs out over 3 meals and 1-2 snacks. Ditto lean proteins. Good luck to us both!! 🎉 Maddie

@lesdarts180 You amaze & inspire me constantly- I am thrilled that you are pain free ❣️ CONGRATULATIONS!!
