Hi everyone,
Today is Monday - exercise class. I was not happy about going out - we are having thunderstorms and heavy rain at times. Then I realized it's a HOLIDAY. No class today. Yay! Yesterday I finally got back on the NuStep. The battery died and it wanted the electrical adaptor which was not where I would have put it. I searched around - DH is tossing things again and found it in a box that was probably on it's way to the trash. Fortunately it worked. I was only able to do 15 minutes before my knee said NO MORE but at least it was something.
I am down 6 pounds in 3 weeks. I am hoping that this is not water weight as I have had no weight loss last week. The Weight Loss Counselor said to really up my protein so I have had to refigure my entire eating plan. This is like a full time freaking JOB with all the planning, logging and execution. Two of the orthopedic doctors won't touch me unless I lose at least 70 pounds. That is disheartening. And I can't get any more of the medication I was on. I have a doctor's appointment next week to talk about alternatives. DH got his test results back - looks like he has a faulty heart valve. He is seeing the doctor tomorrow so we will know more. I think it's the start of something to monitor rather than an immediate need. He is NOT keen on surgery, especially heart surgery.
I really miss talking to my Mom. Been thinking a lot about her lately.
Nothing much going on here. We have lots of hummingbirds, mosquitoes and ticks this year. Once the dragonflies show up (they are late), it will help greatly with the mosquitoes. We think we finally had a bear visit yesterday. Bird feeder knocked down this morning. Don't know what's going on but for some reason the fawns are being left / found out in the wide open spaces. They should be hiding in the woods. DH said he saw a small one wobbly walking by the side of our road yesterday.
Our weather is crazy. One day unseasonably warm at 86 degrees and then it drops down to 60 degrees. These swings cause thunderstorms and bad weather. North of us by the Canadian border there is lots of flooding. We are back in the red zone for Covid again.
Give me something to be happy about already, ok?
Hope you are all doing well.
