Hey all, I had trouble loggin in today, but finally in.   I did 30 on rebounder and a dog walk today.

I did get some Fall decorating done though, and am enjoying my orange lights.

Heading in to get my jammies on.

See ya tomorrow

@JudyL  You are fact gathering about your knee and will know even more when you go to your ortho appt.. I can say without any reservations, I was glad I had my hip replaced. 

 Seems there's  some in our group anxious about travel.. I too can join in that. I don't really have a problem with car travel- but flying- oh, boy.. I just hate it. And vacations.. I haven't been on a true one in years.. I am pretty satisfied with staycations and doing day trips. I did alot of travel in my youth. @bopper  I agree with you, visiting family isn't aways a vacation... HA!  Like when you come to CO. I call them obligation trips- sometimes much more stressful than just staying home!

  I met my new PCP  this week- appt went smoothly and he's a keeper.. He's young and intelligent- and I hope he stays  for awhile!  I am good to go with him until April- And follow up as needed.

 Holiday weekend.. No real plans..  but a good sign fall is approaching.

 @Laura14  I plan to hike somewhere.. Not up in the mts.. ok- maybe half in the mts-- hard to explain..  I used to go all the time.. and now will challenge myself.. Trying to convince a couple of people to go with me..That's the hard part.!

  If not - I will repeat some places on my own.. Main thing is to be in nature- right?

    Today I am  gonna take a longer bike ride for my exercise. I've had appts or commitments all week.. My chores are done- so I get to play today. May also hit a couple of farmstands - it won't be long and they won't be around until next year.

@violet runner You go girl! I knew you'd be hot on my heels soon. Enjoy!

@JudyL I know it's tough to go through, but everyone says it's worth it in the end. We'll be here to cheer you on.

I am not here because I did anything yet this morning, but I was so excited I had to stop dancing and climb down off of my kitchen island and tell someone. I went to get my cholesterol checked yesterday and the results came in this morning. Guys, I am down to 200 total. And my LDL dropped 21 points. 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

For someone like me to have on point cholesterol numbers (I have horrible genetics), it's kind of unheard of. So yay! 

I was going to cancel my doctor appointment after I expected to see how bad it was and now I went and checked in and I will see her next Thursday to have her congratulate me. Now stop pushing the statins, doc. I doubled my AL Cholestacare and it worked! That and lots of exercise. Hiking does a body good! 

I think my mom and I have also worked out our vacation troubles. If all goes well, I think I will be seeing my bucket list Paisley Park in MN and going back to Iowa. I also managed to find her three casinos and three bingo games to entertain herself. 😂🎰 

My black cloud from the past two months may be lifting. A water main broke at work this week and I was literally cleaning the women's bathroom with Lysol and Clorox yesterday morning. After 23 years, this is what my life's work has come to. I deserve some fun and time away or I will be that poor dead lady at her desk for four days before anyone notices. Did you guys see that? ☹️🙏

Anyway, I bought HSN's TSV today and grabbed my Eagles' shirts for my new hiking gear this winter. That's my reward and motivation to keep it up! It's football season, y'all! 🏈

Have a good day!

Hi, everybody.  Looks like everybody is doing well except for @JudyL  with possible knee replacement.  I already know that I'm a candidate for one.

I've been waiting for my son in Georgia to ask me to visit but the invitation hasn't come.  He's spoiled me last year my paying my way and now I'm expecting him to do it again, lol.  Sort of greedy but sort of not.  I've got an unexpected expense in the works.  He and his family of four just enjoyed a week in New York and I'm sure that wasn't cheap.  If only I could snap my fingers and be there.

I'm still doing my low level exercise routines two or three times a week.  If I remember to use my weights, so much the better.

The end of the month is almost here already!  Faster than a speeding bullet, lol.  

Happy Labor Day!

Walk around the block to close it all out. Have a great weekend.
