I have been MIA. Not doing well. Caught Covid and still do not have energy. Hoping my sister and I will get back into the habit of a walk at least once a week. Not going to hit my step goal for the year. Oh well. Hoping i can finish the year strong. I’m so sorry about the Covid. Covid sucks!

I reviewed my weight loss tracker this morning. I've lost 15.4 pounds this year. Still more to go. Baby steps!

Not making much headway. PT for knee has shown me how out of shape I am. I was good about taking 5 minute breaks every hour (WFH) to get on the bike or do some squats. Lost track of that with DH's foot surgery.
I need to put shoes when I dress in the morning and not rely on slippers.

They provide stability and cushion on my hard, slippery tile floors and stairs.

Lost track of that with DH's foot surgery. I need to put shoes when I dress in the morning and not rely on slippers. I struggle with this. I hate wearing shoes and prefer to be barefoot at home. I've reached the age that I'll have to wear some type of shoe if I'm doing a lot of physical chores. I'll wear my Birkenstocks or my Keens, ubt lately I've hbeen having to wear actual tennishoes to keep my legs from being atrociously painful by the middle of the day.

I've been struggling with health stuff as well. I'm in a flare with my IBD. The new meds my doc's office prescribed are just not working. I am told I should not go back on the steroid that works beautifully. Okay then, so what do I do? I hit the bathroom 10, 12 times a day. Four weeks of this now. It's exhausting and I'm afraid to make plans to go anywhere.

I will take imodium when I need to leave home for a few hours. I'll take one the evening before, and then another one that morning. Unfortunately it is not as reliable as it used to be. I'm not sure why? Maybe it's the bile binder my doctor has prescribed?
