Following as always, I'm always amazed at how much you accomplish each challenge (and how you manage to stay sane some days but that's a whole nother matter)  

Yeah I'm not looking forward to it lmao. No more looking at the scale and pretending I didn't see what it says. 😬

these are on my bucket list as well! Someday....

Yikes if this isn't the hardest part!

I honestly thought of you when I did that ❤️ ask and yea shall receive   Luna being Luna...I swear she keeps me so entertained, Mystic, her regal majesty.   I hate that I don't remember if I ever posted about DK, I had to say goodbye to him back in April I had him from the day he was born, in a laundry basket on my bed...his mom was my ex's cat that she refused to get fixed until she had one litter of kittens. My middle son was living with me at that time and stayed up all night to watch the kittens be born, he is still a huge animal lover...DK was the runt, the last one born, and the one my son picked after saying to me "It sure would be nice to be able to keep one of the kittens"...just stamp sucker on my forehead because I can't say no to my kids. He is no longer hurting and that's the important part!   I took a ride by myself last weekend with the group of women we ride with...when D was off playing bus driver, this is me and a friend of ours that takes good pictures     Thank you! I'll be cheering you on as well!!   Thank you for being here  I can't wait to catch up with you!     and I'm very happy that you are ❤️    Off to catch up with everyone!  

So I'm a little bit delusional. I overestimate my ability to do things and underestimate the time it takes to do them. For example, I'll hit a new highest weight and shrug it off because meh, my current [stressors, eating habits, etc] is temporary; I can get back to where I was easily. And then I ignore the part where I've been saying that for years and nothing has changed and I should probably double check the meaning of "temporary." Another example: when I studied abroad fifteen years ago (☠️) i could easily walk a couple miles a day so I don't stop to think that my current body can't and really shouldn't do that.    The reality is I'm a couple pounds under my highest weight, walking is a joke never mind any other activity, and my stress level is through the roof. I have high blood pressure despite younger flea always running on the low side, blood sugar issues that never existed before, and acid reflux that makes me question how my esophagus is still intact. It's not pretty. And if I'm going to fix it for real I need to accept that this is my starting point, not what past flea could do once upon a time. No more being an ostrich.    So what exactly do I need to do? I have no fucking idea. Yet.    Week 1: - check blood sugar every morning - check blood pressure every day - track any food with a barcode in cronometer - do the initial assessments on at least two of the GMB programs I have - use my fancy tracking journal thing    Week 2+: - tbd after seeing what info I get from week 1 and also discussing with my nutritionist and therapist  

Winnie and I went on a few walks today and went in the water. We also had some naps on the dock it was a good day. I made dinner for my Dad.. We had a kale dill pickle salad kit, shrimp, steak, portabella mushrooms. It was yummy. Afterwards he took me on a boat ride.       

You're very welcome
