  • I upped fat and started a colitis flare, but got it under control. Yay! The pills i would have to take more than doubled in price since January, so logging and seeing what was different and needed adjusting really helped! My BIL seems approved for kidney transplant list, for which we are glad. The hope of that is keeping…
  • Challenge time for the month is ending. My steps totals are back up close to goal. Rhe firbit doesnt seem to register steps all the time, but I'm moving and it does up in the daily burn. I'm battling chocolate supply (dear DH!) And giving in to munching at bridge. Control thyself!
  • Thank you @retirehappy !
  • I got a kick out of that, @wandakc ! Focus! So funny. Reminds of the kids movie with the dog that keeps getting distracted. <squirrel!>
  • Once they come on, @evesmom2 , do send some around! I will be back to meeting 10000 daily goal steps. Heat here in Nevada is abating, and my smashed small toe looks almost normal again after three months. Still hurts, but not as much.. :-)
  • Oh, @retirehappy missed your question. I picked flute.
  • My burn reflects 10000 steps but they aren't showing on fitbit. Realized it might be the cushy clogs I got for walking on our tile floors. !!! Switched shoes this morning to yest the theory.
  • We're likely nearing closing on our house. Despite the trials of getting contractors to respond in this last week, we have our daughter overseeing this last bit. So very thankful for her help!
  • They expect you to almost zero out, because if you're starting with a deficit and eat back some of the burn, you'll still lose weight. If you lose calorie intake through burn, you can cause your body to reset to that intake. It's not "starvation mode," but the body will adjust over time. I went back and calculated my…

  • Somewhere there is,a scale among all these moving boxes.
  • Past week has been a disaster for food and exercise. Stress, driving, eating out, bags,of sweets all over the house. Control escaped me, and I think I self sabotaged. Confession done. Did meet steps goals many of the days.
  • Going back on track as last of visitors,leave town. Also going to find out why I keep accumulating commas.

  • Wonderful you had such a role model!
  • I'm meeting steps goals getting the house ready for sale. We're eating out at quick places now, and I will keep relaxed about intake (nutrition not as good) once life gets back to normal. Gotta stay relaxed about SOMETHING! :-)
  • Oh, and for singing? My parents recorded my brother and me in 1953 and informed me I should not sing. I got to pick an instrument, though. There's always a positive! Saith Pollyanna.
  • Thank you all so much!
  • Hey all! We now can open both sides of the garage and have the car inside!

  • I'm so grateful the cause of the thing on my vocal chord was benign, that I had a positive, fabulous surgeon up here, that it was from something that is not likely ever to happen again. It was a salivary gland, and once it finished, it was like a "zit" on the chord. Acne in the throat? Laughing!
  • Glad glad you could get back on! It's so great to have you looking out for us! Exclamation point. (Remembering when the keyboard denied me use of the question and expoints) In glad we're getting to the wire for the move. Many excitements, so we're making memories.
  • About seven days to drive off. We'll take a uhaul as, well.... too complicated to arrange mover with my throat and DH having trouble understanding phone calls. Found a couple of things that were important, and didn't find where daughter put the paintings I collected all over the world. But we have the family photos back to…

  • Awesome help girls! I got a good report from the surgeon yesterday! Thank you for the well wishes! Got to the scale this morning and I'm trending back to my preferred weight, despite the peculiar meals we're having while I clear out the pantry and fridge. !
  • Found more photos from Japan and old family photos by accident late last night. Phew, a relief! took them out of albums so they'd take up less space.

  • Annnd. up two pounds from Friday as of this morning. Salt in the V-8 ? I'm being careful, even on the liquid diet for throat healing. It was murder taking my big glucosamine pills last night. And the pain pills are big enough to make me dread taking them. Shut up Sharon, don't type while drugged. ;-)
  • Weighed yesterday. Down a pound. Weighed this morning. Up a pound.
  • Forgot Popsicles. Thanks! There's a coconut water pineapple ice bar I love. Will pick them up tomorrow.
  • @retirehappy making the decision is hard, and the culling is harder. DH decided not to send my father's cameras to the yard sale. Go figure! We still have too much, even after letting go of several Asmat carvings, and other really good art and, and, and. .....

  • Don't we wish! We've decided to sell the Washington State house. Daughter is having a heck of a time culling.
