Last day of my work week and last day of the month.
I am going to make a few changes in how I eat, and hopefully avoid the break room.
My weight is creeping up, as well as the blood sugar, and blood pressure.
I am going to start with small changes. Often on Fridays I buy a pop--today I will make unsweetened tea. I love bread, but I will not have any in my lunch, because I know I will have some tonight.
I am going to walk more, inside or out.
I am just about ready to meet a different goal here. I have earned a little more here this month than I have in ages.
It is time for me to put on a sweater and head out to the car. I hope you have a fabulous Friday.

@allknowing Adding magnesium rich foods also helps prevent some types of headaches.

If you do not have a plan you are planning to fail.

Like Grumpy Old Man, my weight runs up to me. I'm sorry it's affected your blood sugar and blood pressure. I hope you reach your goals.

Well, I have strep now and am on antibiotics again. Those meds mess with everything else, but I have avoided buying a pop.

@GardenGerty Tea, coffee and orange juice, lots of "sweets" made with peanut butter and cereal, and only a few little cucumber sandwiches. I would have like more sandwiches.

When I was still working and it was break time I would head outside instead of to the break room. The building was huge and if I hurried I could walk clear around it before break time was over. Even had time for a potty break if I hurried along. Good luck losing some weight.

Mostly I want to stop from gaining all I have lost back, and want to improve my blood sugar.

I hope you enjoy your day. Losing weight is hard... I cut back on what I eat but still don't get enough exercise. I'm going to try to fix that... Walking around in the yard, if nothing else. At least if I fall, it will be on grass. And Pretty will eventually check on me there.

I have a big enough yard I can get out and stumble around. I should do that, I would enjoy some fresh air. I have just felt so cold and tired.

@GardenGerty We have a large back yard and there are lots of interesting trees to look at back there. Our yard backs onto a culvert that is deep but dry unless we've had rain lately. We have a small forest growing in our yard and down into the culvert. There are a lot of interesting plants growing in that forest.

Glad you made more here. I too now have access to a four-pronged cane and will start by getting out at lest twice a week walking. I hope you had a great Friday and will have a good weekend,

I did not realize you needed a cane. I am glad you will be able to go out to walk.

Have a great Friday and enjoy the weekend. Those small changes will bring good results.
I need to make some of those changes myself

When school is out it is a whole different thing, and generally I lose.

That weight really is sneaky, it just sort of creeps up slowly and then it hits you--and you wonder how you missed it. Happened to me, too. When I did realize it at long last, I was irritated at myself. It's good that you are being careful.

From when I started my job until last month I was down 30 lbs. give or take, but it is coming up lately.

You have my sympathy. Heat makes it hard.
