Day 64: 03/04 - 230 This week’s plan is to continue walking at least 1 mile per day, bike 20 min and PT exercises for my knee. Keep snacking down to a minimum, up my water and reduce portions during meals! I know what needs to be done … now to execute! Walked 1 mile and biked 20 min. Day 65: 03/05 - 230.2 Walked 1/2 mile.…

My doc also prescribed a high dose of vitamin D after a physical a few years ago. Even though I get plenty of sunshine! D3 is on my regular vitamin routine ever since.

@deepwoodslady - You have so many doctors that I'm sure some consistency and a reference guide for yourself would come in handy. Good luck! Oh and in my chart I highlight the number if there is a concern ... like yellow borderline and orange if I've dipped my toe into the wrong side of the number and then red is my danger…

Just sharing ... If anyone has other lab results that I should consider tracking annually, feel free to chime in. @deepwoodslady - I know that you too monitor your lab results. This is a pic out of my personal spreadsheet where I note the results of each of these results annually in order to keep track instead of the need…

@dawnbgethealthy - You always look happiest when skating! Glad that your ankle and knee are holding up so that you can enjoy the skating rink. Have you been able to skate outdoors this year?

@dawnbgethealthy - I'm taking Meloxicam 15 mg once per day. You cannot take aspirin or ibuprofen style meds with it ... only Tylenol (Acetaminophen). It has definitely helped with the swelling inside the knee. I skipped it for a week when my insurance plan changed and I could tell ... so glad to get the prescription back…

@fooshki @deepwoodslady I'm not a medical professional at all but an avid reader. Really interesting insight especially in the spoiler section @fooshki Thank you for sharing! Thank you for this conversation! I've never really paid attention to GFR on my lab work and now I'm adding it into my mix to monitor ... since of…

@cpanus - Reading about the California rain, mudslides and flooding ... stay safe! I hope that you and yours are doing okay.

@deepwoodslady - I have no idea how much protein I need but I do know that when I use it as a snack it holds me over better than anything else. Also my sister before and after knee replacement surgery (age 60) was told that she needs 80 grams per day for her muscles. Not really 2 cents! Good luck with your search for the…

@dawnbgethealthy - Sounds like a great trip to me! I love reading and being pampered. Fun that you'll have someone mixing the cocktails ... and I remember this friend you get with that likes to cook ... great way for him to discover new ideas. Enjoy!

@dawnbgethealthy - Shoulder issue ... ouch! True enough that the weight might not make a difference on it but your ankle & knees I'm sure would enjoy a lighter you. I read that you are headed to Cancun for vacation this year! Are you renting a place again or staying at one of those resorts. My niece is getting married in…

@deepwoodslady - Great seeing you. You've accomplished a ton this past year leaving me in the dust since you kept going when I started dipping back up at 202. So proud of you. You can get the holiday glut off ... give it a little time!

@cpanus - I have to say that I'm alway inspired by your consistency in posting and keeping up with being an active senior!!! I hope to join you in the future. Love that you walk so many days during the week for not just a mile but for 5+. Do you do this on a treadmill or outside in the elements? Always meant to ask but…
