Mornin' All!

Rally was great yesterday - I'm so glad I went (and no - I couldn't go to both the rally and class. Rally doors closed at 1:15 and no one else was allowed in after that, and my first class starts at 1:20). I made the right choice, though. Obama, especially, was fantastic. I hope to find a video of his speech online so I can watch it again. There was so much loud and enthusiastic cheering that I missed some of what he said. At least the crowd was psyched!

I've got another film discussion group meeting this morning. I'm also going to call Costco's hearing center when they open to see if they can get me in this week for a hearing test. I'm assuming I may need to get a hearing aid, but my regular medical clinic can't get me in for a hearing test until late January (and I made this January appt about two months ago! they are really booked up!) Since DH has to have his health benefit stuff for 2025 in by this Friday, that's way too late. The FSA stuff is due on Friday, too, and if there's a good chance I need a hearing aid, I want to put more than the usual amount in to cover it - or at least some of it. If they weren't very expensive, I'd just put the $$ in the FSA account to cover it regardless, and use it for something else if it turns out I don't need one - but those things are crazy expensive. Not sure I could spend the extra $1000+ on other things if I don't need to get a hearing aid. So...fingers crossed I can get an appt at Costco this week.

QOTD: I do eat carbs, but the good kind. It's not that I never eat the "bad" kind (donuts, cookies, etc) - but I try to limit that to special occasions or parties. DH likes that kind of stuff, so I make him hide it if he brings it in the house.

coffee with half & half

skyr with 2 T SF apple butter, thin slice of Danish rye with butter & cloudberry jam

1/2 pack of Loma Linda southwest burrito bowl on salad greens topped with plain Greek yogurt & salsa

protein muffin or protein ice cream

celeriac soup and some kind of protein

ex: too windy to bike and not much at the gym today, so I'll probably walk or do some cardio video

have a great day, everyone!

Good Morning! I feel you on the burn out and hope each day gets better. I have some frustrations about some process flows that I need to have a meeting with my boss about but I haven't found the right way to verbalize it yet so for now I'm making notes so I can set up a meeting. I am glad what you're doing for the plantar fasciitis is working and great job on the hitting your step goal.

QOTD: Like you, I attempt to minimize carbs whi*****lude the yummy sugary ones like donuts, cookies, pies and cake. I also haven't had soda since surgery. If I have things like cheez its, cereal, etc in the cupboard I have a "handful" here and there but of course those add up so unless it's John's I've been trying to just keep them out.

not an option - otherwise I would have done that. No one admitted to the rally after 1:15. My class starts at 1:20.

Sweet ride and sweet step count!!

Thanks! I've always wanted to go and been close (been to the warners bros property) and since we have two days there I won't feel too rushed.
