Yowza! Acuse him of channeling Nana Adams (her birthday was today, afterall) and to knock it off already. :-) I was happy that we got a walk in to the library to collect a book that we've been listening to (the electronic library had to take it back for 2 weeks). I knew it was breezy enough to keep the humidity from…

Why am I not surprised! What a nut. Sorry I'm late getting my weigh-in reported. It's not where I'd hoped it would be but I know what needs to happen. It's a multi-pronged solution beginning with my would-be-chef-spouse's habit of oversalting/oversaucing food! The other prong being to eat much smaller serving sizes. It…

What a great morning! After watering the small garden, we walked to the pond ("town beach") and swam. We had the place to ourselves for the most part. I read aloud while we drip dried and we ate breakfast when we returned. I feel so much better today than yesterday...a great reminder that exercise helps us manage physical…

Hi everyone! We had a good walk yesterday morning before the unbearable heat & humidity slammed into the northeast/Vermont. I was able to get the laundry out on the line but by then it was 85-degrees and by noon, it was already much hotter so, I bagged the idea of swimming for 30-minutes at the pond. Tomorrow morning will…

You mean we'll both be uber-short at the same time? That's fun! I cut mine off to give to the Locks of Love program (they make wigs for children who have lost their hair for whatever health reason). I haven't sent it, yet, but plan to today. I'll post a picture if I can - you post one, too! Thanks for touching base about…

I think I'll borrow this or add it to, "This too shall pass". The unfortunate thing about those words in my head-they usually concern follow-through. It's the negative voice of self-doubt manifested from the seeds of depression letting me know that they're still here to be managed. Still here to foil me somehow. Harumph. I…

I'm on it with the "ugly" this week with CW @ 183...not quite as on track as I wanted weight-wise but I had a great visit with Monica! Generally, I'm eating reasonably well and getting enough water. I'm having trouble getting to morning exercise. It's so much easier to get to when nobody's at home. It's been way too…

Weight: 182 I’ll catch up on steps tomorrow. This weather has been crappy for several days and tomorrow is supposedly going to be hugely hot. Hmm. Well, my tomatoes and eggplant will go nuts! That’s good. I love the zany things y’all have been writing and plan to catch up more in the morning. Brief Intro: I live in…

Steps for Saturday: 8,300 I’m home from seeing my 2 adult daughters and am glad we spent some time exploring a Mill river in northern VT. It was fun relaxing with each of them. They really are very different countries! I came back with a very annoyed hair follicle at the bottom edge/corner of my lip. It’s gotten…

Wednesday steps: 7,800 I’m in Winooski visiting the girls after having a few hours at work retraining in updated protocols, etc. @jugar I need to take this week off from the scale. I just couldn’t get there today. Next Wednesday for sure! 😘

Tuesday steps: 8,300 Time to sleep - work re-training tomorrow morning...and weigh in!

Steps from Thursday 6/18 6,450 Sunday 6/21: 6,250 Monday 6/22: 6,400 Too muggy for longer walks the past few days - planning to get more in tomorrow and also go to the ocean for a day trek. Can’t wait!

Steps from Sunday: 4,600 with 20 minutes swimming

Saturday steps: 6,225 Happy Solstice! ☀️

Steps today: 10,115 Happy Friday (& Juneteenth to boot!). I’m heading to bed after a good day - got but good with a swim in the little pond down the road. Sleep well! See you tomorrow.

Happy 18th! I’m celebrating better flexibility (I can lift my leg and foot closer to my torso while clipping my toenails!). Also, celebrating becoming more actively Anti-racist and better informed. Exercise, like anything else is becoming more natural, too. Yay! Celebration Day❣️

Steps today: 10,000 Throat is better; energy a bit sluggish but otherwise, things are going well...even went to the pond for a brief “dip”. Maybe I’ll make it all the way in tomorrow! G’night. Party tomorrow with all y’all! 😘

CW 182.2 off for a walk - more soon!

Happy Wednesday! It works pretty well for me, too, changing timing of food. One way I've added more squats to my day is by using the "tiny" habit method. "After I pee, I will (after washing hands) do 4 wall push-ups and 4 squats by way of "accepting" all of the winning applause I'll acknowledge for having done the…

Steps today: 10,600 Bit of a sore throat today. I took a nap and have been drinking a lot of liquids...I really don’t want to be sick with anything - maybe it’s the trees all going bonkers? Maybe. Fingers crossed it’s not you-know-what!

Steps today: 6,700 It seems the Fitbit gives more accurate step readings which is very nice. We watched “13th” tonight. It’s a powerful movie about the 13th amendment and how systemic racism has been propagated over the last 100+ years. Netflix is granting access to see it even without membership. Have a good sleep. I’ll…

Steps today: 11,880 Happy Sunday! What a good day for walking and gardening. Nice and cool; no humidity to speak of and time to read my audiobook. Ah. Tomorrow will be a great day!

Steps today (Saturday): 7,100 The Black Lives Matter protest in Randolph, VT went well today. I was actually chilly because it was overcast, 53 degrees (felt like 43), and I only had a t-shirt on (& capris, socks, sneakers, and sun hat). Brrrr! It didn’t help that I got a migraine an hour before we went to it. Sheesh. I’m…

Steps today: 7,000 It should be earlier in the evening instead of almost midnight. That’s what I get when we binge “Homeland” and eat supper late. Tomorrow we’re going to a peaceful protest in Randolph, VT. I’ve never been in or to a protest. I think I’m the only one in the family who hasn’t. Wild. More tomorrow!

Oh, you're funny! I actually envision @jugar as a very slender Ursula complete with an electrified Trident, warding off the mean MDs trying to prod her fess! But, I digress. Steps today: 7,200 Sarah and I had a good walk this morning before it became muggy and gross. We "went" to a zoom hypnosis session with my hypnotist.…

@micki48 Sunday steps; 4,700 Today’s (Wednesday): 7,100 @jugar: CW: 183.8 (not positive about last weeks’ weight but know you’ve got it on your list). We were away just about all day and I’m plum tuckered out! It’s hard to believe that it’s about to be Thursday and I need more time to check in. I’ve got some ranting to do,…

Steps Today (Tuesday): 7,500 Monday: 6,800 I’ll be catching up with posting tomorrow. Have a good sleep!

Saturday Steps: 6,300 Today (Sunday) steps: 4,900

Steps today: 4,800 Yeah...a bit skimpy today. Tomorrow morning should be cooler and less humid so, we’ll be ready to walk several times (after meals, mostly). More soon! Have a good night everyone!
