JustBananas's Journal, 27 Sep 22

Was supposed to weigh in this morning, but didn't see the point. Thighs are still rubbing together, and they -- not the scale -- are the barometer. I will not fit into my goal jeans if I can't pull them up past my knees.

Am feeling a bit low lately diet-wise. Did a 4 mile walk yesterday but returned with multiple red welts from invisible bugs enjoying their breakfast at my expense. I'm not pigging out or doing anything self-destructive, but I guess I was just hoping for more progress on the thigh front.

Scheduled my annual Flu Shot and Bivalent Omicron Booster for next week, and now that I'm over 50 I'm supposed to get the Shingles Shot, too. So many needles this year, it seems, between all the immunizations and lab tests.

Will put on some fun music at lunchtime for a half-hour of living room dancing to hopefully bust me out of my funk. 💃🏻🎵

Yay you turned your comments back on 😃. I could have used your help yesterday I had to do some tree house repairs a branch fell on the roof and I had to fix it before the 6 cubscouts showed up and wanted to climb all over it lol. It would have bumped you up in the adoption line for sure! Anyway keep chugging along I'm sure the results you are seeking are just around the corner.

JustBananas and Otb123, or design a new room/level/floor/space and ....( environmentally sustainable)(must keep the land healthy and happy) did I hear anyone say yes?

@Otb: So this branch-shedding tree -- does it have a lot of dead branches? That would be a problem if the treehouse is attached to it. I noticed the roof is flat, so stuff doesn't slide off -- another reason to add stories. Not sure what to do about the pack of cubscouts or bears that freely roam your yard, but will do some research.

Breezy I'll be taking applications soon and I'll need to know what skills everyone brings to the table. Sounds like your a teacher or administrator at a school we already have a HS teacher in the house so idk bananas might have 1 up on you there. But you did say you are willing to chop Firewood that is a major plus we use alot of it.

No dead branches just a really bad storm that came through

When you reach 65 they go ape vaccinating you. Hubby is still not caught up.

@Breezy: It will be environmentally stable, even if we have to start a new tree highrise a couple of spaces over. Absolutely no building on dying or bug-infested trees! MUSIC: feelin' Stevie Wonder today, so get past the eh intro & fast forward a couple of minutes in this mix by DJ Spivey for some dancin' 💃🏻 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dh6L3-Njf20

@Morticia: Just a nutty year for me: Tetanus, Flu x 2, Covid x 4? 5?, Lipids x 3, Electrolytes x 3, and now a Shingles x 2. Maybe more needles -- lost count. 🤷🏻‍♀️ When I turn 65 I will just camp out in the lab's waiting room.

@Otb: I feel like an extended deck could be added on the second floor, but with a glass bottom (for bear and cubscout viewing). We could start the Zipline from a post here, provided the angle is steep enough to the house.

Loving the design already and 100 percent the angle is steep enough to the house haha. I literally hike up and ski down my mountain in the winter time

JB - none of my business but I wanted to say that you should go see your brother this year regardless of the number on your scale. I put it off, and my brother is gone. Just saying. Take care.

@Fritz: That is a very profound and sobering thought regarding seeing loved ones in person. I will lose the weight. There will be no Zoom. Thank you for the push, my Twin! 💚

Bananas back onto your real subject matter. What have you done differently diet wise just cut down on the Intake quantity?  
27 Sep 22 by member: ObeseToBeast123
@Otb: In July-August I failed to regularly hike & walk (in the heat) but ate like normal. So now I'm back to exercising, though I don't remember it being so hard from before. I've also changed up my lunches, so now instead of fresh fruit I'm consuming spinach salads or a bowl of steamed edamame, Brussel sprouts, or asparagus (no oil -- all lower calorie than fruit). Perhaps I should just relax and flow with the process. Patience is not one of my virtues 🙁
