Hi, Judy and Gail and anyone else dropping by --
Finally finished all our autumn travels last week. Yes, we flew on a plane (to and from Colorado). DH already had Covid, and I wore one of his N95 masks. Didn't take it off at all, which meant no water or snacks on the flight. It was good to see our friends (2 had just finished getting over Covid), and it's good to be home. I'm going to take a Covid test next week before my brother comes for Christmas just as a precaution; he has a bunch of health issues, and I would hate for him to get this bug from me.
I weigh a whopping 4 pounds less than I did in March when the pandemic hit! Given that many people I know have gained during this time, I'll take that as a win. But I do need to lose more. Thankfully I actually lost a little bit of weight on this last trip, probably due to all the hiking in the mountains that we did. Boy, that altitude really does a number on one. I was out of breath just climbing a couple of staircases at our friends' house at 8K feet. So when I say "hiking," I mostly mean "walking on relatively level paths with only slight inclines here and there." There was one walk we did where the uphill slope went for more than a mile; that one was tough for me. But I'm glad we did it.
Judy and Gail, it sounds like you're both following similar eating plans. Good for you! I don't do well on low-carb plans; I get very lethargic and blah. So I'm trying to just eat moderately and healthfully, mostly grilled meat/fish/chicken and veggies or salad for dinner, and various proteins and vegetables for lunch, with cereal for breakfast and fruit throughout the day. Very little bread or rice these days. It certainly is harder to take weight off as we get older, isn't it?
Hope you all have a wonderful and healthy holiday season!
