[elkhound]

Got an early start...done the steep section of mini mtn as hard as i could...then got back to truck and went a second place to look around and walked a bit more...feeling fine too....life is good...only seen 2 squirrels.

week 16 day 6 and 7

yesterday son made feta stuffed chicken breast, yellow rice and sweet potatoes , was good!
Today I am going to make pizza and salad

need to check my weight but don't want to, been eating a lot of bread lately and had wine last night

Well, after 10 days in Italy, I jumped on the scale and I gained less than one pound. It is possible the 40 miles of walking offset any weight gain?

Maybe you worried it off!!? How could you eat all that good Italian food and not gain weight!!?

 

[havasu]

Honestly, we thought the food was mediocre at best. We did have a spicy spaghetti appetizer, but besides that, the food was just so-so.

eating out sucks really...everything seems of such low quality and fake as they try and change items to cut costs...i stopped eating out in fall of 2019 and theres only a few places i will get stuff from now...oh and the cost too.

 

[elkhound]

done the steps up mini mtn....was doing great and on way back done a wipe out on rocky section of trail along a cliff that i try extra hard to be super careful on...knocked a couple small holes in my hand when i fell and dripped blood part way back to truck....them rockpiles hurt a little bit on old fat body....first time i have fallen on approx 1100-1200 miles walking in last 18 months.

humble rock pie i guess.....will see if i am tough in the morning...lol

Soak in Epson salts. It'll help with soreness

My blood pressure a few weeks ago was 297/197.
Now it's 250/ 150 and the weight is coming off.
My weight is still too much for my frame.
But a pound or two a week coming off is what the doctor is comfortable with.
So belly dancing is helping and I am having fun too.
And I am dang proud of me.
And my Irishman is proud of me.

Holy crap, Mo. Those BP numbers you posted are definitely stroke territory. I wouldn’t wait too long on trying to get that BP down sooner rather than later.

So, I found out that the 12 hour flight, maybe along with the exhaustion from the trip made my immune system so low that I felt like crap once getting home. Yep, I tested positive for covid. With confining to my house, sneezing and body aches, along with a loss of appetite, I an now down 5 pounds and now at 208 pounds. I feel much better today so I may venture out in the world and spend a fortune shopping at Costco.

Ya know, you can talk to 10 experts and receive 11 different answers on your question. Today is day 5, I'm feeling better, and will allow distance so as to not give anyone the stuff. BTW, even my better half won't kiss me yet!

And yes, I'll test to confirm I am no longer contaminated, before deciding anything.
