Morning gang. I got home over the weekend and have been catching up on all the things. I'll post some pictures as I get organized. I saw the doctor and had some more x-rays and the bandage off my hand yesterday. They seem happy with it. And late yesterday I got the authorization to turn our solar power on, which made me happy. I've spent too much time looking at the app and watching all the numbers.
QOTD: I don't feel old inside, but I sure do outside. Aches, pains, and things not working like they used to. It's all part for the course, but I'm not happy about it. I can still do everything I want and need to do, but it's not as easy.

G'morning all!
I knew it would happen and it did. I opened the Costco size bag of chocolate and pulled out two. The win is I pulled out two instead of eating until I was sick. I just have to resist and not go into that room any more until Thursday. Wish me luck.
PSA for chips and savory lovers. Have you tried the elote corn chip dippers from Trader Joe's? I'm not a big chips person but holy moly this is sooo good. It has some spicyness to it and it's very crunchy. I tried it yesterday after a long time this bag had been sitting in my pantry, and the only reason I tried it was to distract myself from the chocolate. 10/10.
QOTD:I feel younger inside, I def feel more fit than I have ever been. On the outside it is what it is, but I think it's mostly due to all the workouts that I feel the hip or other minor pains. On the days I don't workout there is no pain, so I guess it's the price to pay in order to have a longer moblie and pain free life.
My meals yesterday:
- Coffee
- Rotisserie chicken
- Protein iced coffee, elote chips w/salsa, 2 fun size chocolates
- Protein icecream - cookies n' cream
- E: strength training
Happy taco Tue!

Oh, I do get brain fog sometimes. I used to be able to remember everything now I find me slipping a little in that area also.

Good Morning Amy and Menuers,
I did get to see some of the Steeler game as well. I am so excited that the team is going into the bye week with a winning season. I am actually going to call it early and say we may even get to the payoffs this year. They are looking good. Today I have a doctor's appointment with my PCP. Not for any reason it is just a checkup and because we changed insurances again, I can go back to this primary after a year. I have to get set back up so if I need a script called in or something they will take care of me. I was supposed to do blood work, but I just did it in July, so I'll just have him look at those numbers. I am tired of paying for things I do not need. I know he is going to make me go get a colonoscopy. Not something I am looking forward to, but it is that time again.
QOTD: Hell no. I was at the gym with my cousin, and I said my birthday is coming up and I told her it is a milestone one. She said you don't act 60. I was hoping she would say You do not look 60 but she left it at that. Oh well I will still take it as a win.
Accountability: I baked cookies and may have licked a few bowls I should have stayed away from.

Good morning all and Happy Tuesday,
I'm currently addressing important items on multiple fronts. Most immediately, there's medical stuff like a big bone spur impinging on my right hip flexor tendon biopsy, and future related fun. First step: Bone Biopsy and a bunch of specialists. I'm also addressing my new car that was damaged on delivery. In addition, trying to take care of my old car where the insurance company, American Heartland, has not been making strides to resolve a 2 month old accident. Relationship issues. Financial issues at my club. The list is much longer.
B: Dannon Light and Fit Coconut Yogurt Tangerine.
L: Fairlife shake
D: Cauliflower steaks. Vegetarians, let's call a spade a spade; it's flat cauliflower not a steak.

"I wonder if pizza thinks about me, too."
I started to feel "old" when I was in my 50's. Working under a lot of pressure and the beginning of aches and pains. I took retirement at 62 and the next ten years were like being a teenager again. I was out everyday and every night with friends, took great vacations, and made sure everyday was fun. I am more tired now and tend to Google the various things on my body that hurt. I have to plan ahead and I take a lot more rest days now. Today I will have the house cleaned, tomorrow go to the senior center for an exercise class, and Friday get my hair cut and colored. No weekend plans yet, but will see what turns up.
Real life begins where your comfort zone ends
Good morning, everybody!
Quick post today, I have to go to the doctor's for my last hepatitis vaccine. Can't remember whether it was A or B. I still have another week of malaria pills to take and then I am through with Tropical Disease management. In general, we over prepared for disease and biting insects but way underprepared for the heat. Live and learn.
This is my third Hepatitis shot and both of the previous attempts have been fails because they didn't have the order on record. So actually my fifth trip for Hepatitis vaccines. To add insult to injury I am classified as a "no show" at my last appointment. I have my email from my primary clarifying that this appointment has been ordered, so hopefully I am ready to go.
I misspoke yesterday. Today is the dish that Marilyn and my youngest are cooking. Yesterday was tacos, which will be today's lunch. They were good but crumbly
QOTD: I was thinking about this yesterday. I do feel like I have more trouble focusing and maintaining concentration on things. I wouldn't say I feel less smart, just that it is harder to stay engaged. Physically, I feel great. Of course I have to hold the menu three feet away from my face if I forget my readers.
Breakfast: Bagel
Lunch: Tacos
Dinner: Chicken Mandi
Have a great day, all!
