I ran a lot of errands today. I went so many places trying to get everything on my big list in one day. I came home and checked the health ap on my phone and I had walked 5.1 miles! It was so easy and painless because I was searching so many stores for different item. I was very surprised to see over 11,000 steps taken…

Had a little break between storms today. So many downed trees and power outages here. Hope the getit all fixed before the next storm moves in. We were fortunate not to lose trees. Some of our neighbors are not so blessed. Winter is just hard, especially for older people. May seems like a long time to have to wait for…

I hear you on the difference of opinion 😊 We couldn’t live in this house if we didnt run dehumidifiers year round. I admire your dedication to walking in all weather. We are under ice here. I do have Yaktrax, but dont take any chances since my osteoporosis puts me in a high risk group. Can’t risk a fall. I tried to make…

Big storm dumping snow/freezing rain next two days. Antibiotics kicking in and I am finally getting better. Longing for sunshine and hot days, but grateful to be safe inside a warm home during a winter storm. So glad we don’t need to go anywhere on treacherous roads and saying thank you prayers we still have power. Many…

Melody, we run two dehumidifiers in our basement to keep mold and mildew away. I hope things are going better for your daughter.

I got the flu last Thursday. Coughing, congested, fever, aches. Pharmacist said they missed Flu A this year with the vaccine. It’s not the worst thing I have ever had, but it’s pretty miserable. I will not be reporting any dieting or exercising this week. The trip sounds wonderful! I hope you share pictures with us. I…

My only Canadian vacation was to British Columbia, unless I can count crossing the border in Maine to visit Campobello Island on a day trip. I would love to hit all the high spots. Canada has such beautiful scenery and is so rich in history. My Kroger store has sugar free bread and butter pickles. I dont do artificial…

I will miss you Randi. God bless you.

I have wanted to visit PEI since reading Anne of Green Gables as a child. That would be a lovely trip! Thanks for the heads up on B&B pickles. I eat them all the time and should have checked. I have some dill pickles, but dont like them half as much. No exercise today unless I can count rearranging furniture in the…

Gorgeous photography! The colors in that picture are so saturated! How do you do that? Grandson #6 told me 8 children were absent from his first grade class yesterday. There are 24 kids in the class. Seems to me this is a high enough percentage to shut down And scrub that school. I am eating zicam and airborne in case he…

Just saw in our local paper that three area schools shut down this week because of flu. Evidently, it is rampant. I was a slug today. Stayed up too late last night and was just worthless all day. I am going to bed early so I can try to do better tomorrow. It’s raining, so no outside exercise but we need the rain to control…

Glad you had a nice trip but sorry you came home with a cold. Hope you get over it quickly. A lot of nasty viruses are circulating right now. How blessed you are Joy to see elk in the wild. They have been reintroduced to Virginia but I havent seen one yet.

I have the opposite problem with pants. My inseam is 32. Regular pants are 31 and tall sizes are 33. I get tall sizes and hem them. Lately, I have been getting boot cut fleece lined pants from RBX. Website says it is a 31 inseam, but I have bought 3 pairs and they are all 32 and perfect length on me.

Up .4 Trying to be consistent with exercise this week.
-
Nope. Up .4 I am going to give up my 90 calorie real sugar daily Pepsi and try to do better with exercise
-
2.4 is excellent! My doc says the slower the weight comes off, the more likely you are to keep it off. She thinks a half pound a week is ideal. I suspect I have gained with the time with the grandkids. Trying to decide if I weigh tomorrow or wait til the next Monday.

Babysitting grandbabies #7&8 out of town. No tracking. No exercise. Try again next week
-
Bathroom remodel starts tomorrow so I had already packed the scales away. My Monday weigh in will be next week. Tomorrow I go to sons house 2 hours away to keep grandbabies numbers 7 and 8. They are five years old and 19 months. I wont be home til Friday and not sure there will be much time to check in here. I do know they…

I would definitely count 5000 steps at a museum as exercise

Got my walk in this morning. Mile and a half. Supposed to get bitterly cold and ice/snow tomorrow. Ick! Put on a pot of beans and will make a skillet of cornbread later. This is soup weather! Going to try to unpack some of the garage boxes and make room for a car in there. My granny van and hubbys double cab truck are both…

Joy, you are so smart to listen to your body to avoid an ankle injury. I learned that lesson the hard way. I probably wou obsess over fluctuations on the scale. Maybe every Monday is best for me. I decided not to snack in the evenings anymore. I thnk I have gotten into the bad habit of mindless eating in front of the TV.…

Joy, you have a great attitude about conquering prediabetes. I know you will be successful. I only weigh on Mondays. Do you weigh every day? I am wondering if this would be more helpful than once a week.
-
Joy, i know several people who lost weight and got out of the pre-diabetic range. Three of them even had sleep apnea disappear. Odds are good that weight loss will get you out of the trouble zone. Great motivation! No exercise today. I got a new library book and spent the cold afternoon by the fire being a slug with my…

Thanks, Randi. Hope all is well with your daughter

Did my grocery shopping today. No junk. Snacks will be healthy choices if that is all we have in the house. According to my phone, I walked 3.2 miles this morning just running errands! I had to go to a lot of places. Turned out to be unavoidable exercise. 😂
-
Monday weigh in and down almost a pound! Whew!!! Goal for this week is half a pound. Thank you for encouragement and well wishes❤️
-
Prayer for you and yours Randi. Down almost a pound. Finally!

I have heard Quebec is wonderful. We had planned a trip there and covid hit, so no fun. Now my husband has a cancer diagnosis and many medical procedures behind him and he cannot walk very far. Our big trip days are over. If you go to Quebec, maybe you can share lots of pictures and reports so we can see it with you. My…

I will pray for your travel and daughter’s surgery.
