getting dark early....well i went and done just steep section of mini mtn....didnt do whole thing just hard part.....didnt let the day get away without doing something...it was nice and cool.

those 77 plus step straight up kicking my rear...no leg cramps during or after...so might be just a tad better than i was sunday...we shall see.
 
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.
 
done the hard section up mini mtn tonight right before dark...4th time in 7 days...it was easier than first time up sunday afternoon. seen 3 deer,2 squirrels and a chipmunk and dang swarm of skeeters....doing it...its fugly..but i am doing it.

doing the hard yards this week results...equals down 7 pounds for the week...pushed harder and adjusted amounts and what i ate....doing better again. going to try and push it this week again if possible.
 
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.

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.

Blood Pressure is coming down.
As per Doctor slowly.
My VA prescription for Blood Pressure is floating around in the local Post Office.
On going problem with Post Office.
BP is currently 225/150.
So it is coming down.
Walked 4 miles yesterday.
Worked out with recumbent bike, belly dancing etc.
 
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.
