Good morning!
Under accountability for yesterday. I get an A. Good meal choices. Planned treat. All water, all day. I'll admit the only thing that kept me from going for a glass of wine was knowing I had a 6:30 am yoga class today. But I will take any edge I can get. 502 move calories, 101 minutes of exercise 10,638 steps.
Today, Yoga and spin class are done. I opted out of treadmill time and I will probably be mad at myself by evening time. But I am physically tired. I've done yard chores and some house stuff and I am cleaning up and need groceries. That will keep me busy this morning. This afternoon will be reading and a nap. This evening, dinner on the neighbor's deck. It's hot today, on the 90's, but expected to be in the 70's by early evening. There will be wine. My only goal will be that there is a reasonable amount of wine. Nothing more.
QoTD1: Anything pumpkin.
QoTD2: I take all Bariatric Advantage supplements. I just had my blood work done and I am to step away from the Vit D for 30 days and then go back to half a dose. My B12 is high but not an issue. Every single other metric was just about dead even for the middle of "good" numbers. I also got a bone density scan done and while not much improved from two years ago, it's no worse. So exercise is paying off in that area as well as supplements and good food choices.
Pics are from Rog heading off to Oktoberfest. What a riot.
Peace!

Good mornin y'all.
Life is so so as usual. Ups and downs. The pain clinic is going to try a steroid injection in my neck, even though they don't think it'll work. It's a get it outta the way for insurance. If it doesn't provide substantial relief I'll be referred to an orthopedic for my shoulder. It's been very painful. Having to do all the normal things is trying but stuff needs to get done.
The weather is driving me nuts. I'm ready for the bugs to die!
QOTD 1: I really don't like Nutella. Umm...apple cinnamon flavored stuff isn't my favorite either. Fermented food for the most part makes me gag...kombucha is disgusting.
QOTD 2: centrum, calcium citrate, iron patches
B: eggs, coffee and a piece of cheese
L: small biscuit and chicken
D: ????
My mother always bought bananas from the table in the store where they were very brown and very cheap. I think I remember a penny a pound back in the 1950's. I hated bananas because they were so mushy and overly sweet tasting. I know fresh bananas are much better, but just the smell of them turns me off. One year for my birthday, the people in my office bought me a banana split cake. It was lovely but it was banana. I ate it and said how good it was, but hoped I would never have to do that again.

G'morning all!
Yma - yay for being home. Hope the conf was worth your time.
This weekend we are taking the Halloween decore out and get the house ready. I also gotta do some last items shopping to get the kids' Halloween packages ready and mail them out.
QOTD1: I know it's not considered whole food but peanut butter.
QOTD2: I am still with bariatric advantage: multi and calcium, but after seeing the options today I might branch out. I take one Proferrin a day.
It's that time of the year when our sunsets are very colorful. Look at these beauties.
I received two mugs from a dear friend who knows me well. And just like that my morning coffee got more interesting.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- TikTok cucumber chicken salad
- Protein iced pumpkin coffee
- Protein Icecream - salted caramel mocha
- E: 6 miles wog
Happy Fri-yay!

QOTD 1- Blueberries, mushrooms- it's the texture.
QOTD 2- I've had to change up my vitamins since I've had 2 blood tests with high vitamin D. I take a chewable multi, calcium citrate X 2, a chewable iron. I was taking a gummy calcium and I think that is what put my D levels so high. I need to go back in for another blood test by the 31st.
I was sick yesterday I felt like I was run over by a truck. My vertigo is back and I was afraid I was going to vomit, and had nausea so I took a phenergen and went back to bed. I still have a headache but I feel a little better today. The cold symptoms haven't gone away, it's been over 2 weeks, but I'm getting better.
My only plans for the weekend are to watch the Ducks and hang my clothes outside to dry. Not a very lively weekend.
Have a great day everyone!

Sunday, I plan on some cardio and then I am making a huge pot of ham and bean soup and roast beef for a 4 o'clock Steeler game. My Mom and bro and SIL are coming and the new neighbors.
