Ten miles is a real hike, CC, especially on that kind of terrain. I'm proud of you. Not sure I could handle that distance right now, but it's interesting to think about doing those kinds of hikes again. I know I could work up to it, but it would be a season's accomplishment for me. Hmmm ....

That suit rocks. And for the record, it ain't red--it's burgundy, the cool Fall 2024 color.

I swear, your underground adventure may be the most impressive NSV I've ever heard of! And not just physically, but mentally--by which I mean that you confronted doing something I would definitely never be able to muster the courage or self-confidence to do. My respect for you just bounced up a couple of standard deviations!

119 - like Miss150, I have been hovering around this weight steadily for 10 weeks, and within my desired range for 19 weeks. Without counting calories! But I did have the hungry horrors a bit last night. Instead of dreaming of donuts, I dreamed of roast beef and potatoes LOL. I went to a half dose this week (with another half dose due tonight). I'm not sure if this will work but I'll give it a try for at least 2-3 weeks. The PA at HenryMeds suggested doing it (he said it can also be helpful at breaking stalls for some people).
The house got fully cleaned yesterday! So nice to have a DH who helps. Deceased DH worked too much to help before he retired, then the dementia kept him from having the skills necessary afterwards though he did try.
We are going to the Dolphins/Raiders game in Miami with friends today. It is supposed to be warm but cloudy. Probably better than full sun. Yesterday I bought a Dolphins shirt to wear.
But first, the Sunday bus to breakfast leaves at 7:30, so I better get ready. Have a superb Sunday!

I am amazed at what you are so brave to tackle! I might have tried in my 30-40's, but these days I hire someone (though I hate having to do that).

10 miles! I'm with you in a 4-5 mile max.

I KNOW you can pull that off. You will look fantastic!

Though I like Christmas decorations I don't think they belong before Thanksgiving. I went into a soap store hoping for some fall scents a few weeks ago but they had already cleared them out and the place was filled with Christmas scents (and decorations). I think it was barely November at that point so maybe people are using Halloween as the time for change? Actually I think the stores are brainwashing us because people don't buy much other than food for Thanksgiving so they want to go from Halloween decor and costumes right to Christmas.

I hear you about the ankles. I'm just now carving out some dedicated walking time and building up to former distance is proving challenging. I've noticed the muscles in my right foot and ankle seem to be weak, causing a bit of a glitch in my gait. Just so bothersome in just that place. Who'd a thought strong footing is so necessary when tramping around?
133.8. Seems I've settled into a maintenance range also been hanging around this number for the last week or so. Makes daily logging a bit boring...and just the way I'd like to continue....
After scouting out the crawl space under house the other day and thinking about the what's and how's, I, today, decided to do some repairs on my own. 2+ hours positioned every which way but usual and acting like an 1880's Welsh coal miner....mission accomplished!
Total 100% NSV experience starting with being able to easily slipping through a 24x18 inch access and endless slithering around re wrapping insulation around ductwork and reconnecting two places where elbow joints had disconnected causing the duct to sag and gap. When I think of doing that weighing over 350#s....just, wow. I remember a time when even getting down on hands and knees was iffy and forget about getting back up.
Tomorrow, I'm designating every single sore spot on my body a badge of honor. Yes, indeedy.
Needless to say, I didn't make cheese today- somehow the heatproof kitchen gloves didn't arrive in the moving, and directions call for handling the balls straight out of the pot. Used the milk for cottage cheese and blew off the bread for another time. Liz, about cooking- I am totally over preparing every day meals..been there, done that but, love baking and creating foods from scratch that many think only come out of a can
