Good morning everyone... How are we all doing this morning. I hope y'all remembered to set the clocks back an hour last night so you'll be on time for everything that's important this week.
I don't know about everyone else, but the time changes really throw me for a loop and it takes a few weeks for my body to get used to them. I, especially, don't like the fall because the days are getting shorter and it's dark so early anyway. I'm definitely one of the people who needs lots of light and as soon as it's dark outside, it's bedtime for me...
There hasn't been a lot going on in my world. My neighbor went back to OR this week so I haven't been out walking every day - I can tell it, too. Not only in the way I feel, but in the fact that I've gained 1 whole pound since she left. Wow - it blew my mind when I stepped on the scale this morning and I was up by a whole pound, since my daily weigh-ins have been showing about the same as I was last week and the week before.
I've had a lot of fluid retention late in the day, the past few days and I've put that down to not moving as much, since I haven't been walking daily. I have an appointment with my pcp on Wednesday and he's not going to be happy if he sees my ankles all swollen. I should say I'll be extra careful between now and then to keep it them from swelling but since it's mostly the left one that swells and I've been trying to draw that to his attention since that foot was injured in 2006 and I don't believe it got adequate treatment, perhaps I'll just see what happens and perhaps we can find out what's wrong with it even at this late date...
Aside from that, we've been looking for some used cabinets to put in my work shop. I do have some shelves on the walls, but things seem to get tossed helter-skelter on shelves and are much harder to keep clean and organized. I'm thinking that cabinets will help keep sawdust off everything a "little" bit better and will help with organization a little bit. So far we haven't found anything, short of going out and buying new and I don't want to put that kind of money into my work shop... If I weren't looking for any, they'd be all over the want ads... lol
We did find an old entertainment center that we can modify for a bottom cabinet. It even has a pull-out shelf to make it easier to access items inside the cabinet. How much better can that get? That's my project for today...
So - enough about me... what about y'all? How are things going for you? Are you getting ready for the holidays? Thanksgiving is not so far away.
Let us know how you're doing and how we might be able to help. Whether you need weight loss advice, motivation, support, tips for maintaining weight weight over the holidays or whatever you need...
~~Wishing everyone a wonderful, successful week~~
